We get a lot of attacks, as Christians, by Judaic Jews that say
Christians believe in three gods, while they believe in one god. Let's
consider that for a minute.
The following are some of the god names that Judaic Jews believe in...
Yahweh (Jehovah) - The Self-Existing One
Elohim - The Strong Creator
Elohim - The many-one God (God family), both male and female
Adonai - Master/ Lord
Elohe Mauzi - God of my strength
El Nose - God that forgave
El Rai - God that sees me
El Shaddai - Almighty God
Jehovah Hashopet - The Lord the Judge
Jehovah Goelekh - The Lord Thy Redeemer
Jehovah Rophe - The Lord Our Healer
Jehovah Makkeh - The Lord that smiteth
What is my point? Does these names mean that Israel actually serves
many gods, a separate God for each name? Of course, you'd say that
these names simply describe a particular need that God fulfills. God
is the redeemer and the judge. He is the smiter and the healer. He is
the creator and the self-existing one.
So, then, why would it be such a stretch to say that Jeshua (God our
Salvation - Jesus) is not another example of God meeting our need. He
could be fully God, even as He fulfilled a particular need, expressed
in a single manner. To say otherwise is to say that each of the
God-Names above could not be the One God, since they describe but one
part.

===>The mistake is, this is not "Judaism".
"JUDAISM" developed only AFTER
the Babylonian exile and the liberation by
the "messiah" of YHWH, the Persian king Cyrus,
under Zoroastrian influence. The prophet of Zoroastrianism
Zarathustra discarded all the old gods and
declared that there was only one GOOD LORD,
all evil coming from his enemy, Ahriman/Satan. -- L.

===>No. Originally they referred to different gods.
BTW, you forgot the FEMALE deity, the QUEEN OF HEAVEN
who was still worshipped during the time of Jeremiah. -- L.
