@Vasu Devan - It is always such a pleasure when someone from the outside takes the opportunity to say such complimentary things regarding Jewish scripture, Jews and Judaism, all the while displaying such an incredible depth of knowledge about those subjects. I hope that down the line I will be...

If you had said “stout defence of Orthodox Judaism” or “traditionally observant” Judaism or something similar, that would be one thing, but as phrased you seem to be saying that liberal Jews cannot or will not offer stout defense of Judaism. As a rabbi aligned with the Reform movement in North...

@Waaka - Word for word what you have posted has appeared on other forums for a number of years. If you are not the original author you need to give proper attribution to whoever is the author. It is not only the right thing to do, it’s a rule here.

@Alif Balaam Yashin - Judaism does not advocate religious indoctrination. @wil - Nor does Judaism advocate what is your apparent position of leaving children totally to their own devices, to raise themselves without intervention of any kind, assuming that somehow without guidance, because you...

@servantuitions Yawhea? As to your remarks regarding Jews, Judaism and Jewish scripture, I’d appreciate cites to the materials you studied that lead you to the conclusions you arrived at in post #18.

That is the literal translation. The question becomes what does the term entail? That depends upon who you ask and at what point in time you ask the question.

Is there a reason you posted your query in the Christianity subforum instead of either the Judaism subforum or the more general Abrahamic Religions? I can only assume that you weren't interested in a Jewish perspective. I didn't see your posts because I don't do the internet on Shabbat. I will...

Rib? Maybe Apple? Nope

Which Bible, or at least which version of Hebrew scripture?

And you arrived at that assessment how?

@wil - It is “stoop” unless you were doing on a play on words to make apoint.

@Yahweh kid - I had been working on a response to your questions to me. My responses often take longer because my real life and its responsibilities are always my first priorities. I had been working on a response, but no longer. I have been following your questions and responses to other forum...

@Yahweh kid - I would also put forth for your consideration that if you are numbering Judaism as among those religions that make you a slave to receive, however you want to define it, salvation, your understanding of Judaism is limited.

@Yahweh kid - Part of the problem arises because different paths use the same or similar words, but they don’t mean the same things. A couple of examples - When you talk about the Bible you’re not talking, in a significant way, about the same thing I’m referring to when I use that term. You...

@moralorel - I don’t recall seeing anything about a new family member on the horizon. Congratulations.
