christians and the torah

Excuse me, please see the Rambam's ruling on christianity, in which, he declares it Avodah Zarah. Those who say that yushke was the moshiach, may not be committing idolatry, but the trinity is avodah zarah acc. to the rambam.end quote...I'm not fluent in Hebrew at all but i can google! but what your saying contradicts its self there.but I'm probably wrong ???

How did what I say contradict itself? I do not understand what you are saying. If it is about the idea that believing in yushke as moshaich may be avodah zarah, i honestly do not know about that, it is a possibility, but certainly ascribing any divinity as g-d incarnate or anything of the sort, is avodah zarah acc. to rambam.

Chakma613, no one here is disputing what the Rambam said about Christianity. But from my experience, most Jews do not go around pointing their fingers at Christians and saying "Oh look, there's an idol worshipper. Let's kill him."
Also, the topic of the Trinity and whether or not it's Avoda Zara is not appropriate for this forum. If you want to have a discussion with Decimos, you can private message each other. But this is Chaim's forum, and he welcomes Christians and all good people here. We even have at least one Hindu member. So please keep everything civil.

I'm not attacking christians, I was attacking your statement that xtianity was not idolatry, when in fact it is. You haven't the right to tell someone that what they are doing is ok when it is not, you don't have to say anything, but you certainly cannot tell them falsities like that. I never say to christians that they are idolatrous - i may think it, but i don't attack people. I do however, attack statements like the one you made that stated that xtianity is not avodah zarah.
