Bible Note: Shalom Ed; I am sorry, but I am afraid that I do not understand your point here. Are you attempting to say that Mark 1:10-11 is proof positive in the existence of the Trinity? I see God, his son, and a dove. If this is the case there are many more trinities than this. How about the account of the burning bush, you have a trinity, God speaking, a bush and fire. Are they a trinity? How about the pillars of fire and cloud where God speaks out of them? How about Psalms 98:1; “Sing to YHWH a new song, for he has done marvelous works, his right hand and his holy arm bring salvation.” Hear we have YHWH and his right hand and holy arm which brings salvation. I have studied the trinity doctrine, I know the verses backwards and forward to support the doctrine. Do not forget that I agree with the trinity doctrine, in a sense, a little differently but similar. The Kabbalah is much more than a simple little phrase like three gods in one, the Tree of life is a multi faceted paradigm. It deals with every aspect of the Bible, from God to man to the universe. It is not that it would take a book to explain the Tree of life, but that the contents within it would take a book. In order to fully understand the Tree of life, you must understand all of its components. Trying to explain the Tree of life to you or anyone not familiar with it, would be like trying to explain the Bible to someone who has never heard of it before. Can you explain the whole Bible to someone with a few verses? We all know that the Kabbalah is an abhorance to you. That is understandable, you have been taught that it is evil, I was too. I rejected the Kabbalah out of hand becase it was evil, but when I started learning it, I found that it was Biblical. How many times do we reject a doctrine because we were told it was wrong and we do not even know what it is? Ed, you have no clue what the tree of life or the ten sephirot are and how they are related to the Bible, so how can you reject something you know nothing about. Shalom Simchat Torah |
