What kind of reasoning is that? The Arabic countries that attacked us during all their wars of aggression had military superiority over ours and got crushed. The military superioriority is not in the military capability but in the brains. In the war for the Golan Heights with Syria, they had...

Or that we have all wrong about Einstein. If he could not think of God on a personal basis, as he declared not to, how could he speak of God as one speaks about a man? That's contradiction on the make. Ben

It depends on what you understand by intelligent design. Are you, by any chance, imagining God sitting down in his office designing the universe? Do you think that when Einstein said that God does not play dice, he mean that God must have thought on how to design the universe. What we Jews mean...

Sorry, Will, but my impression from this post of yours above, is that you have painted Einstein as a moron member of the literal interpretation club. Someone unable to see beyond the letter and completely ignorant of metaphorical language. Also, another impression I was left with was that...

How could Einstein have had an "Eternally static sphere" model of the universe if he believed in the expansion of the universe, which rather explains the kinetic character of the universe and that he did not believe that the universe was eternal? Ben

Who is this "God the Son" you refer to, Jesus? Was he Greek? Jewish, he could not have been, because the Greek myth of the demigod, which is the son of a god with an earthly woman is impossible in Judaism, which was the Faith of Jesus. And for the quotations above in Daniel, none has anything...

I was talking about 1948, when several Arab countries attacked us with the intent to push us into sea and we crushed them. At that time we did not have "The best weaponry and military machine that money can buy." Ben

That's what I meant by "The same as above." Ben

I believe we should do to Iran now, what we did to Iraq then. IMHO, what you suggest is that we should sit duck and wait to see what they mean. To sit duck, one dies as a duck. Don't forget that we lost six million of our People in that position. Enough is enough. Ben

Whether you like the Talmud or not, I don't even blame you, but to defend oneself, is a basic natural law that just happens to be respected by the Talmud. Ben

I have never said that Jesus was not one of the sons of God. But the reference in Psalm 82:6,7 to the sons of the Most High was to the collective in the People of Israel. I see that, indeed, Jesus confirms Psalms in John 10:34,35, but still as a reference to the People and not to an individual...

Please, be specific when you quote. Deuteronomy 30 is not a verse or two but a whole chapter. When I am giving replies, I don't have all the time in the world. I am glad to take you on the Scriptures, but you must learn how to quote. Thank you. Ben

I don't. My policy about Homosexuals is: Don't bother me, don't bother them. Only that, when I am forced against the wall for an opinion, I point to the Scriptures. That's all. BTW, if the style is invading the Jewish People, it might end up being the reason for the next exile from the Land of...

Well, as a matter of fact, there is no learning in the chit-chatting of common beliefs but in controversy. Hence Judaism is so rich as a result of the controversy between Hillel and Shamai. Keep the good work. Ben

I hope you don't believe that the Genesis account of creation of man is literal. The whole thing is an allegory. God never put Adam to sleep in order to take a rib of his side and make Eve. The text was verbalized that way only to mean that the woman should be regarded equal with man, albeit not...

No, I mean Esther.

Gosh! I can't believe you said something I can agree with. I am of the same opinion about '48, '67 and '73 wars. I never agreed with the Israeli incursions into Lebanon. The one of '56 was practically won by England and France. No creditation to Israel I intend to claim. I compare the ones with...

By your question, I can see that you have never read Spinoza's "Tratactus Theologico-Politicus." Read it and you will understand why I quoted Spinoza. Ben
