Why Make God So Complicated? | What Jewish People Believe, pt. 1

Can God be three and yet one? And does believing in the Trinity contradict the Jewish understanding of God? On this episode of THE CHOSEN PEOPLE, Mitch Glaser and Robert Walter begin a new series exploring what Jewish people believe, starting with one of the most important questions of faith: Who is God?

Discover why the Shema, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one,” is central to Jewish faith, and how the Hebrew word echad (one) can describe unity, as illustrated by marriage and a single cluster of grapes. Mitch and Bobby also explore the influence of the medieval rabbi Maimonides and examine what Genesis 1 reveals about God’s nature.

Mitch also shares a memorable conversation with a rabbi who asked him, “Why are you making God so complicated?” Learn how understanding the Jewish perspective on God’s oneness can deepen your appreciation of the Trinity and help you discuss your faith with Jewish friends.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 6:4; Genesis 1:26–27; Genesis 2:24; Numbers 13:23
