comment What if somebody says the Shem Hameforash?

comment Is the expression “we do not rely on 'bar elahin'” a reference to Christianity?
That makes sense, but does that mean a better translation is "son of (a) god"?

No, I interpreted it as if it were polemical, not as affirming something about Christianity.
