Do JWs ever refer to jah as Adoni? (page 2)

In Judaism it's taught that the shekinah is the physical manifestation of god.

It would be more interesting if you knew what you were talking about.

The majestic presence or manifestation of God which has descended to "dwell" among men. (Jewish encyclopedia)

During the period between the Old and New Testament, Rabbis began to use this word in reference to the presence of God as a physical manifestation. (Shekinahcollege.org)

There are many more references that say the same thing. I do not claim to be an expert on anything. I am just searching for answers.

I would love to hear whatever you might have to contribute on the subject.

Why are you quoting Christians when you talk about Jewish belief? You do know there is a difference?

Let's look at Shekinahcollege.org's statement of faith http://www.shekinahcollege.org/SBC_SofF.htm:

infallible, and authoritative written word of God. 2 Tim. 3:16-17

There is ONE God.
He is eternally existent in three persons:

You know, you post a lot about Jewish topics. Why? Are you thinking of converting?

"converting" implies that I would want to change from something. I am a free thinker and searcher. I see no need to sack my freedom of thought and insatiable curiousity in order to adhere to the superstitions and regimentations of any religion.

Since "god" belonged exclusively to the Jews,and all this religion business seems to have started there, and since Jesus and all his apostles and early followers were Jewish, I suppose any question concerning the bible could be considered a "Jewish topic"!

Yes Jesus was a Jew. And so were his followers but not for long. BTW, you are incorrect when you say God belonged exclusively to the Jews. That is a Christian teaching. The Jews never taught that. The Jews believe that God offered his covenant to several other nations before he offered it to the Jews. The other nations declined God's offer because his covenant didn't match their agenda. God finally made his offer to the Jews and they chose to accept it. Christians also misunderstand the term "Chosen People." It does not mean what you think it means.

Since the schism between Judaism and Christianity happened fairly early, things written in the NT cannot really be considered Jewish no matter how far you try to stretch it. There are some similarities yes, but the Roman Catholic Church is responsible for Christianity as we know it. The Jews are not responsible for Christianity.

Curious you say? A free thinker? You do not seem so free to me. You seem to be prisoner in your own mind--obessed with religion and the end times, afraid, and more than a little paranoid. A list of your topics illustrates your obsession:
