Seeker is right, this is the wrong forum for this, plus you have to look for people learned with both the Tanakh and the Bible, I don't think many people in this part of the forum know the Tanakh that well.

The concept of G-d dying for us makes no sence as our sins are ours and ours alone. The trinity makes no sence as G-d being all powerful does not need to die for anyone as the image of people killing G-d in human form seems to me to show G-d as week or that he allows his creation to inflict pain on him.
Tanakh said:The trinity is not Monotheistic because it means G-d can become human to die for our sins.
Tanakh said:The concept of G-d dying for us makes no sence as our sins are ours and ours alone.
26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground." Now, God says Let us make man in our image. Wait a minute, who is God talking to? He is obviously not talking to his angels as they are lesser than Him. He is not talking to himself. God is talking to his Son, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. In other words, the Trinity. The countless symbols and prophecies that all point to Jesus cannot simply be ignored.
Pure Monotheism states that no physical likeness can be applied to G-d and when He says He made us in His image that does not mean a physical one but a spiritual image so the messiah will not be G-d as He states clearly that He is outside our form and thus our understanding.26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [b] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

Wikipedia's article on Saint Anselm of Canterbury also puts it nicely:
"All the actions of men are due to the furtherance of God's glory; if, then, there be sin, i.e. if God's honour be wounded, man of himself can give no satisfaction. But the justice of God demands satisfaction; and as an insult to infinite honour is in itself infinite, the satisfaction must be infinite, i.e. it must outweigh all that is not God. Such a penalty can only be paid by God himself, and, as a penalty for man, must be paid under the form of man. Satisfaction is only possible through the God-man. Now this God-man, as sinless, is exempt from the punishment of sin; His passion is therefore voluntary, not given as due. The merit of it is therefore infinite; God's justice is thus appeased, and His mercy may extend to man."
Basically, any crime commited against an infinite good is an infinite crime in nature. Only God can wipe out such a crime, but since the crime is our own, a man has to atone for the crime. The solution? God becomes man.
So, why are you debating this if you're so sure? Are you trying to convince Christians that Jesus wasn't the Messiah? What exactly are your intentions?As I stated in post 12 the Trinity is in conflict with Jewish tradition because it clearly states that G-d cannot feel physical pain and that nothing physical can effect Him thus the notion that the messiah will be G-d incarnate on earth in human form is false.
So you are saying God is not omnipotent. This is rather illogical, God in his pure form is spirit, you are saying God cannot come into human form? This would be a sin, saying God cannot do something.Pure Monotheism states that no physical likeness can be applied to G-d and when He says He made us in His image that does not mean a physical one but a spiritual image so the messiah will not be G-d as He states clearly that He is outside our form and thus our understanding.
My intention is to show that the trinity cannot be true as the Torah, which Christianity claims is the source of the prophetic writings related to Jesus as the messiah, clearly shows that it is not true and in fact based on a biased view of the text. Thus if the trinity is false so is Christianity. Yet it is Christianity (as well as Islam) that used and continue to use the Torah as the way to "prove" that Jesus is indeed the messiah when the Torah as well as many Rabbis make clear time and time again that he is not. Why (and how) would the people of G-d (Jews) misread the text that was given to us and only us and yet everyone says that we cannot read our own text correctly? Without the Torah Christianity and Islam would not exist and because the Torah is the original text it would obviously make clear that Jesus was indeed the coming messiah and yet nowhere in the Tanakh can it be found because nowhere in the Tanakh does it exist thus if the trinity is wrong (which it is) then Christianity is as well for without the trinity Christianity has no bases for the truths that it holds as a result Jesus cannot be the messiah.So, why are you debating this if you're so sure? Are you trying to convince Christians that Jesus wasn't the Messiah? What exactly are your intentions?
I do NOT want Christians (or anyone else for that matter) to become Jewish.What do you think the blood on the door on Passover represented? It represented the blood of Jesus. Personally, I don't think you can convince Christians to give up their faith and become Jews, because the Ten Commandments in themselves are the law of condenmation. Under their standard, no one will be in heaven. That is why Jesus had to die. The passover lamb was slaughtered as a sin offering just as Jesus died as a sin offering. Consider these words by Jesus, "You religious leaders look to the Scriptures for you think it will give you salvation, but the Scriptures point to me."
"The Torah is part of our religion as much as it is part of yours"Well that is hard to do considering how much evidence Christians have for the Torah pointing to Jesus. So are you offended that Christians use the Torah to prove Jesus is the Messiah? The Torah is part of our religion as much as it is part of yours.
