Do Jews believe in the Holy Spirit like Christians do? Tuesday, December 4, 2018

When this question was asked to the Jews through QUORA, there were at least 15 other respondents (almost all of them are Jews) besides the ones whose responds is quoted below, firmly refused to believe in the HOLY SPIRIT according to the way Christians believe in it as being part of their Triune God.

As shown on each respond which you can see here, Jews' rejection is generally based on their understanding or concept of the Holy Spirit as referred to in the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible. Way too different from Christianity doctrine that forces the Holy Spirit to become God!

This means that in general the Jews consider Christians to have misunderstood the true existence of the Holy Spirit as referred to in the Tanakh.

Check out one of the answers below:  

From this explanation, of course it is odd if Christians who rule the books of the Jews namely the Torah (5 books of the Tanakh, the Hebrew Bible) and the Zabur (Psalm) are part of the Christian scriptures - which in this case they consider as "outdated books", and therefore they named them Old Testament - happily interpreting the HOLY SPIRIT as part of the Triune God, while the Jews, who still cling tightly to these books never considered it that way.

Furthermore,  Jews who still adhere to the Torah have never been acquainted with the concept of Triune God which all the way is contrary to the concept of Monotheism that they strongly believed in!

In other words, the doctrine of the Triune God in Christianity actually does not have a clear source of grounding, but only the fabrications of its founders that forced the entry of Pagan beliefs into the pure teachings of Jesus Christ, which is actually Monotheism.

So, don't be surprised if the Christian faith always collides hardly when you try to compare it with the Jewish faith, especially with the faith of Muslims who, like Jews, do not know the doctrine of the Trinity either!

Because of its "oddities" that deviate far from the teachings of all previous prophets - including the teachings of Jesus Christ himself - as well as the teachings of the prophet Muhammad, then in Javanese language, this Christian faith can be interpreted as "nyeleneh", or eccentric in terms of being created in such a way as to be completely strange!

That is why Christians are always confused, then panicked and seldom hysterical whenever their faith are pushed by questions related directly to the postulates in a bundle of several books which they believed as a holy book, such as above!
