- Oh! Now I see. You simply don't have any idea what the New Testament
- position on the Oneness of HaShem happens to be. You pick something
- out of context, and parade it around. Of course you are confused, just
- like I would be if I were to call the Tanach idolatrous because Job
- records the "sons of Elohim" coming before HaShem.

- It is quite difficult to know where to start when someone deliberatly confuses
- the blood and body with crosses and fish. I could answer the (sensible, from
- a nonMessianic Jewish perspective) wine and the bread issue, if I thought
- it were a sincere question, and not simply an antagonistic jab.
