Bible Note: Simchat You made my point. You in effort to downplay the mysticism of Kabbalah attempted to compared the mystery of the Trinity to the mystery of Kabbalah Tree of Life. I said there was no comparison one the Trinity could obviously be seen within the confines of the Bible and one Kabbalah was founded in the “wonderings” of man. You said not so that the Kabbalah was founded in the teaching of the Bible. I then asked for a demonstration of what you were saying. By your own admission the Kabbalah would take a book to explain yet I can and did demonstrate the Trinity in two verses. You then attempted to explain Kabbalah using biblical verses that quite frankly seemed more like a bad dream than a explanation of a better understanding of God. There is absolutely no comparison, Kabbbalah is nothing more than mysticism under the guise of religion, while the Trinity can easily be seen within the confines of the Bible. Let’s make no more attempt to legitimize something so mired in “deeper understandings”, alternate interpretations of scripture, word plays and to me convoluted logic by saying it is just like the mystery of the Trinity.
