40. God is the Father, and Jesus is only a man 
> 41. God is a single person with the Holy Spirit as the power of God 
> 42. We can obey the commands that God has given us. This is why some people in the OT were righteous. - These are the only questions with which I can be in partial aggreement. 40) I don't know if God is our father, but Jesus was only a human man, about whom his followers created a religion. 41) I don't know if God has personality, but I believe 'God' represents some sort of intellectual power. 42) I think we can follow the ethics presented in the OT. - How do I support my first statement for #40. Jesus died a Jew, believing the theology of Judaism, although granted that he was trying to reform a religion that was becoming corrupted. As a Jew he had to believe approximately as we do now. Specifically we do not accept the concept of Hell. Kaballah used mysticism to study that issue and describe several states of afterlife, but not a state of fire and brimstone. Hell appears to be an invention of christian religions.
