The thread, as far as I am involved, will be about the misuse of Judaism's central prayer known as the shema. I do not write or read Hebrew and I do not purport to be an expert on Judiasm. However, i can discuss the misuse of this prayer in a destructive way to the Bible's revelation of God's economy.
(economy meaning dispensation or household management, the rule of God's household, i.e. His plan over His own household)
For my part I will discuss how the shema can be misused to oppose the larger revelation of the Holy Bible concerning the dispensing of God into man. Some anti-trinitarians want to cease upon it to deny some parts of the NT.
Here you may read something about this Jewish prayer based upon Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
Shema Yisreal, Adonai Eloheinu, Adonai Echad

This translation marks that Lord our God is One. Interestingly, the word echad in Hebrew can imply a unity in diversity, (the word for one and only one i.e.,unique, is more often rendered yachid ). For example, in Exodus 26:6 the various parts of the Tabernacle (mishkan) are to be constructed so that "it shall be one (echad) tabernacle," and Ezekiel spoke of two "sticks" (representing fragmented israel) as being reunited into one: " and they shall be one (echad) in My hand" (Ezekiel 37:19) . Moses also used echad in Genesis 2:24 when he wrote "And they (husband and wife) will become one flesh (basar echad)."
