How can one believe the doctrine of the absolute unity of God when Scripture gives evidence of a compound unity?

King James Version: And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. JPS Tanakh: Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. The above is an example of the different translations of the Torah. At first glance the two translations seem identical. However, by making "spirit" with a capital "S" the King James Version states that Jesus was present at the Creation. I was able to figure this out after a lengthy effort. There are many such translation differences between the King James and other Christian Bibles and the JPS Tanakh. Is there a Jewish text or website that explains the significance of the difference in translations between the JPS Tanakh and the Christian versions for other verses in the Torah? Sincerely, Jack Cohen

Some authors claim that the Torah, the Mishnah, the Talmud, and the Midrashim are separate documents. Other authors claim that the Talmud consists of the Mishnah and the Gemarah. Some authors claim that the Talmud includes Midrashim, others claim that the Midrashim are separate from the Talmud. Is the Mishnah separate from the Talmud? Does the Talmud contain some Midrashim? I understand that some Commentary on the Talmud, written centuries after the Talmud was written may include Midrashim; however, my questions relates to the Talmud itself, not the Commentaries.

Dear rabbi, I'm adopting a little girl who is four years old. I'm very lucky to have finally found a child that I know I will love unconditionally forever, and give her the attention she has been deprived of all her life...but my beautiful little daughter to be is also severly brain damaged from birth, though despite that fact I am so much looking forward to being her mother and bringing her into my loving observant Jewish home. She had been labled as "profoundly retarded" and my question to you is: Should I convert her even though she may never be able to understand Judaism at all or should I not even bother to convert her? I'd just like to hear your suggestion on the matter, thanks.
