    Birth of Jesus

    Jesus/Christian theology and Judaism have very little to do with eachother in the big picture. Depending on who you ask within groups of people who really know Talmud, there is reference to Jesus and his birth. To my knowledge, there is not a single clear and direct reference to Jesus in a...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    How you can be sure that shabbat was a mitzvah kept(before it was actually a mitzvah)? Or how you can be sure that the entire mitzvot of the Torah were kept prior to it being given?I'll find you a source once I can post links for sure or pm it to you. A lot of it relies on acceptance of...

    Judaism and Creation

    The difference between the Jewish perspective on creation and Christian perspective. Very, very differet. Here's the king James version of genesis 1:1 - In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Here's what the verse REALLY says: 1. In the beginning of God's creation of the...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    Sabbath was more or less instituted ON the 6th day. The patriarchs actually according, I think to the Talmud and other midrashim and definitely chassidus and kabbalah talk about this. I'll find you a source if you want to know about that. However, it was not necessarily a binding commandment on...

    Jesus' Death on the cross

    Whoa whoa whoa. Judaism totally believes in ressurection of the dead. Ever read that one story in the Gemara where rabbi Eliezer Ben Hyrkunos ressurected a dead roman soldier? I think it's in gittin. As for the rambams 13 principles of faith, one of the beliefs is ressurection of the dead. I...

    Na Nach

    Na Nach isn't really breslov. I'm living in Jerusalem and there's a ton of them doing kieruv(out reach) by dancing around to attract youngsters and the likes. Basically, the story is like this. The nanach movement is an offshoot of breslov and is more or less an umbrella term for people who...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    The Torah has become influential or an inheritance? I see your point and all, but under what pretenses? Just because someone uses something does mean it's inherently there's or even there's at all. Furthermore, if you read the Torah, an overwhelming amount of movements within Christianity used...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    Ever read the story of Noah? All the commandments you just listed are mentioned in there. One of the commandments was to have a justice system and build courts. You could effectively established anything you want as long as it doesn't contradict Torah law.

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    Thanks for responding. This is true to an extent and I don't deny what you're saying. Apart from the Torah being outdated, but - that's a seperate discussion to what you're saying. In fact, the entire discussion were having now is pretty irrelevant to the question earlier prompted seeing as I...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    So... Jesus came to destroy the law that G-d gave... That's not blasphemy how? Let me ask you this, are you familiar with this verse: 1. Everything I command you that you shall be careful to do it. You shall neither add to it, nor subtract from it. * א. אֵ&#1514...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    Have you ever been to meah shearim? Meah shearim disproves what you just said except on minor details... I.e. The development of Yiddish and clothing which is the style of 18th century Poles. Even then, that's still something exclusively distinguishing to the sociological ashkenaz Haredim. Go...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    I made an earlier which post more or less adressing your claims. Some of the things you are by all means allowed to follow. But some of the things you are not allowed to follow. Like tzitzit(the fringes on the corners of your garment). They're a reminder of the 613 mitzvot given to the Jewish...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    Also, Jacob became Israel. It says the children of israel. And who are the children of Israel? Jacobs children. Not Esau's, the moabites, or any other nation which is not a descendant of israel. And if I'm not mistaken, Leah and Rachel converted.

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    Right, but the children of Israel were the Jewish people through technicality. Technically, even though the term Jew comes from yehuda(Judah), a Levi or a danite is just as much entitled to the laws apart from a few minor ones regarding obligations upon the Levites and kohanim(priestly sons of...

    Conservative and Hasidic

    The word "chassidic" doesn't really do justice to the movement. For example. Misnagdim(Jews that oppose chassidism) can be just as frum as any given chassidic Jew. A lot of them look basically the same as some chassidim. I.e. Black hat, coat, sometimes payos(usually smaller but not in every...

    Why do Gentiles assume they should follow the ten commandments?

    Doesn't the Torah say that it was given to the Jewish people? I'm not saying that they shouldnt follow them, but to say Gentiles were given the ten commandments as well - is absolutely false. Seemingly, this is something strongly disagreed on. Simple question, where in the Torah does it say that...

    Was the earth/physical universe creates on the first day?

    Where does it state that the earth was created I'm the beginning? Every single Christian bible states the following: "In the beginning, GOD created the heavens and the earth." Translated from masoretic text: 1. In the beginning of God's creation of the heavens and the earth. This...
