General How many is "one"?

[benadam1974]

There are some Jews today circumventing the simple meaning of the Hebrew word for "one," echad.
Messianic Dr. Michael Brown argues in his book The Real Kosher Jesus:

“It is important to understand that the word echad does not point to absolute unity. It simply means one as in one day consisting of night and day."

The trick is exposed when you see that the meaning of the word "one" has actually not changed. In other words, scripture is still talking about "one day" not "two" days.
The same is true of another favorite Trinitarian "proof text" Gen 2.24, Adam and Eve become "one flesh" and not "two" fleshes!
John Tillotson, the 17th century Anglican Bishop of Canterbury, was right when he said:

The true ground of most men's prejudice against the Christian doctrine is because they have no mind to obey it.
