this is from a presentation on answering Jewish objections to Jesus where blood atonement is objected against and answers are given. Understanding this is very important because Jewish missionaries will use this kind of arguments. Also other people like Muslims will employ this kind of borrowed methodology for their own agenda.

Being is what makes something what it is: person is what makes someone who they are. As human beings our category of existence is “human,” but each of us is a distinct person. We are one “what” and one “who.” But God’s being is not limited to time and space as ours is, and is shared fully by three divine and eternal persons, the Father, the Son, and the Spirit. One what, three whos. You cannot assume the Muslim has ever had anyone explain these basic issues to them, and even then, you may have to repeat yourself and use different terms to get the message across. It can be a very frustrating experience, but if we love God’s truth, we will not weary in well-doing.”

Yahweh is one

The claim that a deity is one or alone, as made by Enlil and Baal, relates to the supremacy of that god’s rule. In this sense, it may be a sociological more than a metaphysical statement. Another possibility is that this statement demands a unified view of Yahweh, in contrast to the views of other ancient Near Eastern peoples who would have many different shrines celebrating or emphasizing a different perspective or aspect of their gods. For example, in Mesopotamia, Ishtar of Arbela was conceived quite differently from Ishtar of Uruk. This kind of division was not unknown in Israel, as inscriptions refer to “Yahweh of Samaria” and “Yahweh of Teman”; however, in the Bible, such divisions are condemned.

Cultural background study Bible

_On the other hand, ’echad certainly does not refer to the concept of absolute unity, an idea expressed most clearly in the twelfth century by Moses Maimonides, who asserted that the Jewish people must believe that God is yachid, an “only” one.[6] There is no doubt that this reaction was due to exaggerated, unbiblical, “Christian” beliefs that gave Jews the impression Christians worshiped three gods. Unfortunately, the view of Maimonides is reactionary and also goes beyond what is stated in the Scriptures. In fact, there is not a single verse anywhere in the Bible that clearly or directly states that God is an absolute unity._

_What then does the Shema mean? According to the common, traditional understanding—and that is what most Jews are familiar with—the text is declaring emphatically that God is ’echad. Therefore, we should take a more in-depth look at the biblical usage of this word. According to Genesis 2:24, when a man is united to a woman, the two become “one (’echad) flesh,” clearly a compound unity. So also, in Exodus 36:13, God instructs Moses to join the many pieces of the tabernacle together so that it will be “one” (’echad; see also Exod. 26:6, 11; 36:18). There are many components but one, unified tabernacle. The Bible also speaks of Israel being “one nation” (goy ’echad; see 2 Sam. 7:23; Ezek. 37:22), just as in the Pledge of Allegiance we in America speak of being “one nation under God.” In fact, we state that as “one nation” we are “indivisible.” Yet we number 270 million people! America is one nation made up of millions of people; ancient Israel was one nation made up of hundreds of thousands of people. Each can be described as ’echad, just as the people who joined together to build the Tower of Babel could be called “one people” (‘am ’echad;Gen. 11:6) and the uniting of the Shechemites and Israelites would have made them “one people” (‘am ’echad; Gen. 34:16, 22). There can be many aspects to oneness!
_

_The Shema was not addressing philosophical issues such as the absolute or compound unity of God. (Would anyone even be thinking of such a question?) Rather, it was saying to our people Israel that the LORD alone was to be our God—he and no other._”

(Answering Jewish Objections to Jesus, Theological Objections, Volume 2. [Grand Rapids: BakerBooks, 2000], pp. 34-35)



The Issues in Outline

Authority: While Muslim apologists will cite Scripture, they deny its ultimate authority and consistency, and place the Qur’ân as the highest authority in all things.

· Assumption of Unitarianism: Behind each of their arguments is the often undefended assumption of unitarianism. This assumption must be exposed and challenged!

· Arguments from Eisegesis: Despite questioning the veracity of Scripture, Islamic apologists are quick to quote from the Bible, though they rarely do so with sound knowledge of its backgrounds, languages, and context.


“The Muslim who repeats the words of Deuteronomy 6:4, “The Lord our God is one” assumes this means “one person.” The Christian must explain the difference between “being” and “person” and then challenge this assumption repeatedly, for it will come up over and over again in the Muslim’s attempt to string together a biblical case against the Trinity or the deity of Christ.
