   I recently showed you the Hebrew language truth of that verse, the word   
   meanings of which you cannot deny. Yet here you are once again trampling on   
   the truth, with full intention to deceive others. You also recently stated   
   that Yehovah and the Holy Spirit were God, but not Jesus, the fact of which   
   states according to your understanding is that there were two, not one. And   
   that was your freely made statement.   
      
   However, the truth embedded in Deut 6:4 is this.   
      
   The Hebrew word for "one" in verse 4 is significant, viewed in the light of   
   the fuller revelation of the New Testament. It stands, not for absolute   
   unity, but for compound unity, and is thus consistent with both the names of   
   God used in this verse. Jehovah (LORD) emphasizes His oneness. Elohim (God)   
   The same understanding of being in unity occur in the very first verse of the   
   Bible, where "Elohim" is followed by a singular verb (created) and in Gen   
   1:26, where the plural pronouns *us* and *our* are followed by the singular   
   nouns image and likeness.   
      
   And yes, many others, like you, do not accept and understand that truth. This   
   understanding of one as being tied together in unity is throughout the Bible,   
   not just in the OT but in the NT as well.   
      
   So why limit your understanding, and why try to destroy the word of God with   
   your fleshly understandings?   
      
   For the simple...The Three Musketeers favorite comment was, “One for all,   
   and all for one”.
