    Dualism and Judaism

    Thanks for the replies, I guess, I've just read many different things, like some things I've read have said what you 2 just stated that what we call good and evil originate in God, or that there's no equal Power of Evil opposing God, but, I've also read things about the Sitra Achara (the Other...

    Dualism and Judaism

    In this thread, xkatz said this: It kind of brought up something I'm curious about, but, what is the Jewish perspective on evil and good, I've read some websites, but, am still a bit confused. Does Judaism believe evil doesn't exist, as some religions and Philosophies claim, does evil come...

    Questions about Judaism

    I know I'm not Levite and that I'm only currently a seeker when it comes to Judaism, so, this is just my own opinion, from what I understood of Levite's post (and I may be wrong), your time in Gehinnom depends on the severity of the evil you committed, so, maybe Hitler will have to spend quite a...

    Jesus (pbuh) was said "Elahi" , in his language " Aramaic"

    I'm a bit confused, I think GabrielWithoutWings made a point about you saying the Jews weren't an authority on Aramaic because they rejected Jesus, but, I'm not sure how your reply fits in? :confused:.

    Richard Friedman

    Thanks for your opinion, I'll definitely get some of his books when I can, the one I mentioned 'Love Your Neighbour' is one that definitely looks interesting, and 'The Way Into Tikkun Olam' sounds quite good as well. I'll definitely get them.

    Thank very much, I'll definitely keep your advice in mind when reading it, and I will buy it, I think, when I see it next. Thanks for the tip, I might check that out too :). Again, thanks for those other authors, I just Googled Elliot Dorff, and some of his work sounds really good, like...

    Richard Friedman

    I hope this is the right place for this, but, I recently came across one of Richard Friedman's books, called 'The Bible With Sources Revealed', which seemed interesting, and during the first few pages, there were praises for his other works, including Daniel C. Matt, who I understand to be a...

    Chabad Lubavitch site

    Thanks for telling me, I'm glad it's not at my end that the fault lies.

    Chabad Lubavitch site

    I was just wondering, has anyone been on the Chabad Lubavitch site, and, if so, is it working for you?, the reason I'm asking is, I can get on the main page fine, but, when I click on one of their links, like the spirtuality section, it just displays this message: It's like that with every...

    Gay Jews and being fruitful?

    Thanks for that very informative post, I also wouldn't trust Arthur Goldberg, as he's associated with JONAH, and a lot of the "ex-gay" movements tend to use psuedo-psychology and science, and, like the link I posted, he's not exactly "innocent" himself (that's part of why I was distrustful of...

    Gay Jews and being fruitful?

    I think contemporary Jews tend to be quite intelligent, and understand that homosexuality is not a "perversion" or "mental illness", and that homosexuals/LGBT people need to be treated with compassion. I know the Torah contains harsh passages against gay men, but, I think you need to...

    Gay Jews and being fruitful?

    I'll listen to the videos later, but, I'm not sure how reliable the first guy could be, because, from the first few seconds, he said he was co-director of JONAH, a organisation that claims it can "cure" gay people, but, to be blunt, it's total crap. I haven't read as much about JONAH as I have...

    Burning books and effigies - What the hell is wrong with these people (all of 'em)?

    I don't want to get too OT, but, I don't think those examples can be seen as a "neo-Holocaust", there more examples of mass murders, I'm not trying to defend those actions either, but, I just wanted to say there is a difference between the a genocide on the scale of the Holocaust, and mass...

    'Letters to the Next Generation' - free ebook

    I just came across this, and thought some people might be interested, it's called 'Letters to the Next Generation - Reflections for Yom Kippur' by Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks, I haven't finished it yet, but, it seems quite interesting, it's, basically, a book for young people, I think anyway, but...
