The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.

His only begotten Son - Yes! But, God is Spirit. In John 4:24, Jesus states, "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth."

The G-d of Israel said with his own voice at Sinai he is one and there is no one beside him. He also said he does not have a human form because it would lower to the level of being a man.

17:03- among the cannites and amaraians - Bethel; beit-el

The G-d of Israel revealed who and what he was at to the tribes of Israel in person at Mt. Sinai. He said he is one and there is no one beside him. He also said he does not have a human form because that would lower him. The fact that Christians worship a god that is three proves that they are not only pagans but idolaters.

Jews were also pagans. Judaism evolved out of Canaanite Polytheism.

@@Christian_Maoist. Wrong, we are the dependents or Avraham, Jacob and Isaac. We became a nation when we accepted our G-d's everlasting Covenant and Laws at Sinai. We were commanded to take possession of the land of Canaan and rid it of idolatry. The Jewish people today are the descendants of these same people and have the same mission as they had, to teach the Nations who and what the Creator is and what he wants us to do to bring perfection to the world.
