And each denomination will say their interpretations are the correct ones and the others are wrong. So how can the Holy spirit let that happen?
In Judaism, we don't say (in most cases) that interpretations are wrong. We dig deep to find meaning in every verse, every word, every letter. We believe there may/can be more than one meaning but hold true to the plain meanings.
That's quite different than what you are saying about Christianity.
G-d is one and His word only means one thing. If Christians have the foundation of Christ and don't throw it away by returning to sin they will make Heaven. But on top of this foundation most build wrong things. The Holy Spirit lets this happen because people have free will. G-d gave dominion over the earth to Adam, remember. A Christian, if he or she chooses, can get filled with the Holy Spirit and pray in a special language (finger printed to them) in which G-d passes mysteries over to them (that they don't understand) so they can be prayed up by them (since man has dominion on earth he must initiate it) so G-d can bring them to the place where He can reveal them.
Yes, that sounds like what Christianity teaches.
How in the world can it come from the Hebrew scriptures?
We don't know a Christ, or a Holy Spirit and we are not born with sin, which means, we cannot return to this.
Your missionizing efforts start to get tiring. I don't want to become a Christian!
You sound to me like the Jehovas Witness, or the Mormon people who come ringing at my door to try to save my soul. I found the best method to get them to leave, is to let my Rottweiler dog answer the door. I wonder if that would work here, too?
The choices you make are your own. I would never say any different. And for the record: jw and mormons are not Christian.
