Wow, there's a lot of mistakes in that... But it's typical Christian rhetoric. My opinion has not changed as a result of reading that. All I know now is that there is yet another member of this forum who does not understand Judaism but wants to believe that he does.

Ah, but there's only one God. If you're willing to claim that there are other gods, stop claiming to be a monotheist. I've only two questions for you... What are the words of the Sh'ma? And what do they mean? I imagine probably not very many. It's not my field, though, so I concede I...

There's an interpreter at NTID who is hard of hearing... I'm not sure if he's a professional, though or if that's what he's being paid to do. I'm hard of hearing. I'm a student... Working is, at the moment, something that I'm not allowed to do as a consequence of that. I have lots...

Funny, but the Romans regarded the emporer as a god or godlike.... But you also don't think gay men or lesbians should be allowed to marry... Curious. It proves that you're sensitive to having your book compared to a modern work of fiction. I don't dismiss the faith of others. I just...

Inciting revolution doesn't make one an enemy of Rome? Church history, but not world history is where your information comes from. The Jews were an occupied people and as such did not like their occupiers. It is an understood fact, also, that the Romans did not particularly like the Jews as...

You're treating me with disrespect. I don't care whether or not that's how you treat Jews. You are treating *me*, the girl sitting on the floor of her room, keyboard in hand, with disrespect. You disrespect me, I will disrespect you. Respect me, and you will receive my respect. All you need...

God didn't destroy the Muslims, the Taoists, the Hindus, the Buddhists or the Native Americans. You can't base religious significance on which cultures died out as a great many survived that are not Jewish or Christian. Like? By my observation, Christianity didn't adopt many (or any) Jewish...

You sound like this man Under your policy, the US military would do this to NYC

Sorry, but as someone who is not versed in the subject, you've no qualification to make that statement. The Bible doesn't say anywhere in it that Muslims and Baha'is worship a different God. I've never said anything different. You, like Throwstones, put words in my mouth when I don't say...

I said (twice, no less) "You're a Jew". Stop lying about what I think. It makes you look like a fool.

(Jerusalem) Hundreds of leaflets distributed to homes in Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox area and other parts of the city overnight offer 20,000 Israeli new shekels or about $4,500 US to anyone who kills gays marching in next month's World Pride in Jerusalem. Read more...

Did you even read my post? You're a Jew, no amount of rejecting your heritage or your religion will ever change that. That does not mean, however, that you are practicing Judaism. Christianity is not and has never been a form of the Jewish religion.

I sure can. I can say that Christian scripture is inaccurate. Then you have a profound misunderstanding of what the covenent with God means. A covenant doesn't get "fulfilled". Many ancient religions worshipped their ancestors who were, as you may recall, quite dead. Christianity has...

O_o No, it's acknowledgement that Christians and Jews are not the only followers of the One God... If anything, Muslims and Baha'i have a better understanding of that concept than the Christians do, as they don't believe in the trinity. I haven't mentioned any other "deities". I'm a...

Cite? The Torah states that the covenant with Israel is eternal, just as is the covenant with Noah. Under the Covenant of Noach, you are bound to the Noachide Laws. If there is a "new covenant" at all it does not pre-empt the old one. New Age isn't a religion... It's also the...

There's a number of Christian denominations that accept gays and lesbians, the Episcopal Church, the United Church of Christ and the Metropolitan Community Church among them. One can certainly be a Christian and be gay.

Yes, because Christians, Muslims and Baha'i all worship the same God that the Jews do.

You're a Jew who does not practice Judaism. You're an apostate. One does not need to be Jewish (religiously) to be a member of the Jewish people, but a Jew who does not respect Jewish law and custom is, practically speaking, no better than the average disrespectful Gentile. Heh...

Allah = YHVH Unless Jesus is a different god, the truth of that statement eliminates any argument you may have that Allah is not the same God. Mohammed, however, is not considered a god by Islam or by anyone. No, I don't know you're experience. The fact, though, is that your experiences...

The Torah (and the rest of the Tanakh) is not the entirety of Jewish scripture. There is also the Talmud, the Midrash, the Responsa, the Mishneh Torah, the Shulkhan Arukh and others. Judaism didn't end with the completion of the Tanakh. That's the Christian interpretation, though it's not...
