Do Jews believe in the trinity?
G-d has many attributes, but they aren’t separate personalities. In Christianity, Jesus was transformed from a Davidic messiah into a savior who was an incarnation of G-d. The incarnation obviously couldn’t be identical to G-d Himself, and the Holy Spirit was added as a third entity.
In Genesis 1:26 God refers to himself as “us” , or was it to angels or other heavenly creatures. Also Genesis 11 “let us go down…â€? Where or how is the trinity in Judaism “refuted”
G-d is not a man.
