Where is the Trinity in Shema Israel, (Deut 6:4) if God is One? A Response to a Bizarre Claim – with Rabbi Michael Skobac
What if the Bible’s clearest declaration that God is One is being used to argue for the Trinity?
Deuteronomy 6:4 — the Shema Israel — has been central to Jewish faith for thousands of years: “Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.”
Yet some Christian missionaries argue that this foundational Jewish declaration can actually be understood as supporting the doctrine of the Trinity.
In this lecture, Rabbi Michael Skobac examines this claim and explains why the Shema presents a fundamentally different understanding of God from the Christian doctrine of three divine persons.
In this lecture, you’ll learn:
• What the Shema actually declares about God’s oneness
• How Christian missionaries attempt to interpret the word “One”
• Why Jewish biblical interpretation rejects the idea of God as three divine persons
• How the Jewish understanding of monotheism differs from Trinitarian theology
• Why the Shema remains the central declaration of Jewish faith
If you have encountered Christian missionary arguments about the Trinity and the Shema, this lecture provides a clear and thoughtful Jewish response.
