Bible Note: Simchat Mark 1:10-11 demonstrates the Trinity in that we see all three personages of the trinity The Father proclaiming His Son, The Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit as of a dove descending upon the Son. Surely you had to be aware of this classical demonstration of the trinity. Your right I’m not student nor expert of Kabbalah, though I have studied it enough to dismiss it as mysticism that even orthodox Judaism rejects. Do I abhor it? Not per se, personally I view is a an attempt by man to try to rationalize something he couldn’t possibly understand. Throughout history man, seemingly unable to accept the fact that God chose to keep certain aspects or traits of Himself secret, has tried to rationalize, philosophize, invent, and explain these unrevealed aspects of God. I view these attempts to be nothing more than exercises in human pride. To try to give the law or torah a personage and then seek to connect that personage along with other invented personages from actions or manifestations of God into a Tree of Life is nonsense. You quickly approach creating your own God rather than worshipping the true God. Simcaht I believe that is the god you worship a created god rather than a God the Creator.
