I was sure that @churnbabychurn and @ExGingy were going to change their positions after this....

OMG just bumped into this one
ויאמינו בה' ובמשה
What exactly are you people saying?
Do you guys seriously understand this possuk to mean something like this: ???

" that God is one God, but TWO coeternal consubstantial persons[2] or hypostases[3]—the Father,  and the Holy Spirit—as "one God in tWO Divine Persons". The TWO Persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature" (homoousios).[4] In this context, a "nature" is what one is, whereas a "person" is who one is.[5][6][7] Sometimes differing views are referred to as nontrinitarian. "

Beyond heartbreaking to confirm this is your belief system.
Could you please explain the possuk and if its something positive?

Since you seem to be such an expert, why don't you give a synopsis of both שיטות.

You are a few hundred years too late. The Gr”a already cast the chassidim as kofrim due to their understanding of צמצום, and it’s likely that the chassidim would have likewise considered the Gra’s understanding of צמצום כפשוטו......
Y'all just trying to muddy the water and change the topic.

First confirm that this is how you understand it.

We've already established that YOU are the only one who understands it like that.

I.e. You are the only one turning to Christian theology to try understand or explain things, modifying it slightly to better fit your beliefs, rather than actually checking out authentic Jewish sources.

Hey mods, maybe this topic should be pruned and put into a thread titled "CBC's musings about what he believes to be other people's thoughts, beliefs and understanding".

You can then add grafts from quite a few other threads, making that thread rival the politics thread in length.

Me? I understand that this is *your* belief. And the fact that you all are evasively noncommittal on it either way is corroborating my well founded suspicion.


To me it is all total hogwash - I wouldnt dream of "trying to understand". It is yehareg Val yaavor.

If a phone screen is already webbed but still works perfectly, would the web spread without you doing anything like a car windshield or if you take care of it (not drop it and such) will it stay the same?
I'm not who you think I am.

Probably varies by screen, but it should stay the same for the most part, as long as it's treated well. Put a good screen protector on it to hold it together. A car windshield has pressure being put on it every time you drive, so it's a bit more of an extreme case.
Memories last forever, make them while you can.

What is " evasively non-committal" about this?

I don't think anyone other than yourself reads into this as such.

We've already established that YOU are the only one who understands it like that.

Also, when will you stop beating your wife?


To me it is all total hogwash - I wouldnt dream of "trying to understand". It is yehareg Val yaavor.

Yet, you seem to have  no problem quoting Christian theology...

He says it was "already established". He and no one else has denied that this is the belief. Read the thread.

And again you refuse to tell us when you will stop  beating your wife. Why?

Ok I deny beating my wife.

See it's that simple. Thing is that some here think it is kefira to deny what I posted. They can't deny believing in shituf virtually exactly as defined in the Wikipedia I quoted.

 Sad.

@ExGingi wrote explicitly that no one (except you) believes that chassidim believe what you claim we believe.

Your gleeful ignorance of the basics of chassidus does not make me into a kofer, but it does say a lot about you, which is why I'm going to follow my own advice and
give these comments the same weight you would give to the high school kid who thinks he "destroyed" religion by coming up with the question of theodicy.

-thats not enough of a denial for me-

This has nothing to do with "chassidus". It's a relatively recent phenomenon that is now spreading.

The issue in isolation is whether you believe there is one single GD or not. Yes or no.
And if you believe he is melubash in a mekushar or some other tagline in someone that you worship in addition, then you don't understand singularity. That is plural.

If you want to create a hashtag, you need to combine all the words together, it will only work without spaces.
