Angels and prophets are not manifestations of God! Hebrew uses the same word for 'angel' and 'messenger' -- that's all an angel is.A prophet is a person (fully human, not God) who can receive communication from God. I'm hardly an expert, but my understanding is that Catholicism, and Christianity in general, claims that a person named Jesus is a deity. Judaism rejects that. Thus far we agree. The point I'm making is that Judaism doesn't just reject it coincidentally, but that it goes against Judaism's core theology. Obviously Christianity considers itself an branch of Judaism, but it has to implicitly redefine Judaism in order to make that possible. |
