"Jesus replied, "This is the most important: 'Hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One" (Mark 12:29). God has a Son Jesus. Both God and Jesus can give the Holy Spirit.

It would be remiss to insist that "one" can only mean that YHWH is only a single individual instead of a unity since scripture plainly references "one" as being a unity.
12 tribes = one nation​
Many members = one body.​
Husband & wife = one flesh.​
etc.​


It is easy to show that ancient Jews most certainly believed that YHWH was a unity for centuries.
Such evidence can be seen by Jewish scholars, such as Alan F. Segal and Benjamin D. Sommers, who both wrote books documented with substantial footnotes of the beliefs of ancient Jews.
Not only did ancient Jews believe YHWH was a unity, but they also fully recognized that it DID NOT violate monotheism at all.
And I will remind folks that neither of these men thought Jesus was the Messiah, so no one can accuse them of a 'Christian' spin on their research.

Two Powers In Heaven by Alan F. Segal
The Bodies of God and the World of Ancient Israel by Benjamin D. Sommer

Both of these books are documented to the hilt with actual ancient Jewish writings and the scriptures that led them to this unequivocal belief.

This is an issue that must be studied as THEOLOGY, not MATHAMATICS.
