To: Crimson Ghost who wrote (12015 ) 7/31/2006 8:54:56 PM From: Cyprian Respond to of 22250 I sometimes wonder when the tables are turned -- as they most assuredly will be -- if Israel will fare better than Soddom and Gommorah where the lack of 10 righteous men supposedly caused "God" to destroy these wicked cities. How sad that the blinded Jews can't even understand the writings of blessed Moses, in whom they feign to put their trust. Jews are brainwashed from an early age to reject Jesus Christ. Jews are taught diligently from an early age the great commandment in the law: Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God is one Lord. So they say God can't be three, we've always been inculcated that God is One! It is true that God is One, but He is also three. Hear, O Israel: the Lord (1) our God (2) is one Lord (3) You see? God is One and also three. One in essence, but three individual hypostases. It is not a coincidence by any means that God chose this to be the great commandment in the law, and that Jews are to bind this verse and others to their door-posts and strap them on their foreheads and on their arms as tefillin. God wants every Jew to understand that God is One, yet also three. That is why both God and Lord are mentioned thrice while speaking of One God in the same sentence. Now to get to your point about Sodom and Gomorrah. If God is One and therefore (according to the blindness of the Jews) cannot have a son, how do you explain the following passage? Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven (Genesis 19.24) Did the Lord rain fire and brimstone upon the earth from himself? Does this make any sense? Cannot the blind-men see that two separate members of the Holy Trinity are named in this passage? There can be no salvation with Judaism. It is an exercise in futility to stubbornly cling to man-made contrivances and inventions. As I said, only the Orthodox can understand these mysteries, because God's Holy Spirit guides His One Holy Church into all truth. Cyprian
