Aad,
Josephus and Tacitus, who were quoted earlier in this thread, show Jewish unanimity on God as they knew Him then, which is the same as today despite many different Jewish denominations. Jews today are unanimous in our belief that God is One absolute Unity.

Your best response is to claim that this very God who was "so intimately well known" already by Jews of that day ensured well before Jesus that Jews would never go for a Trinity by commanding us in no uncertain terms never to worship gods our fathers didn't know or worship. Jews then and now do not believe a Trinity is a god our fathers ever knew and this is how we faithfully keep that commandment.

Do you believe God intentionally made it impossible for the faithful Jew to accept a Trinity? If not, how do you reconcile this better, or more full, understanding of God with the simple fact that worship of a Trinity is not anything like worship of an absolute unified God? You'd have to admit that worshipping One vs. 3-in-1 is quite different. How can you expect Jews who are commanded clearly not to worship gods their fathers never knew to start worshipping something entirely different? Would you consider worshipping God as Mormons do? Maybe more was fully revealed to the Mormons. If not, why not? And if not, how can you blame Jews?
