    Non-Abrahamic Religious Figures as Messengers of God- Thoughts?

    I don't see how that answers the question, I think the OP was asking if, from a Abrahamic perspective, other people's Sages could be seen as being sent from God. I don't see how old Hinduism is, or how old Judaism is relates to the question at all.

    Hi Dena, I just got your message, sorry for the very late reply, but, I've been quite busy with other things, and haven't been on Religious Forums in a few months. I'm good, how about you?. Hope things are well with you :). David.

    Orthodox and Dogs

    Thanks Levite, that's actually why I asked the question, because I am very interested in Judaism as a spiritual path, and I want to learn as much as I can about it.

    Orthodox and Dogs

    What about if you don't see walking your dog as work, but, get a lot of enjoyment out of it?.

    GOD man or woman

    From what I've read, the names applied to God are just ways of describing the force or Power we call God, and that there are even some names and descriptive images that can be considered "feminine". As for people referring to God as a "he", I'd probably say that's just due to living in a...

    Robert Alter

    I was wondering, would anyone recommend the books and works of Robert Alter?, I've seen some of his books in major bookshop over here, and I've heard good things about him and his translations, like I remember seeing one review for his 'The Book of Psalms: A Translation with Commentary', which...

    7 Noachide Laws

    I was wondering, I've heard the term "7 Noachide Laws" before, but, I'm a little unclear about it. From what I understand, it's supposed to be the 7 laws that gentiles are supposed to follow, and I found this site with some info on it, which state the laws are: While most I would say are...

    Meaning of the Son of God: Judaism DIR

    I'm not sure if this is accurate, but, I have read that, in ancient Israel, around that time, the term "Son of God" was a term applied to individuals of great spirituality, and didn't necessarily refer to a literal, biological, son of God.

    Messianic Jews and Gospels

    I hope it's ok to post this here, but, I don't know anything about Messianic Judaism, and I'm only a bit knowledgable on the "Jews for Jesus" movement (which, from my time at RF, I understand are not the same thing), but, from what I understand Messianic Jews tend to see Jesus in a Jewish light...

    Ask the Jews

    Thanks for all that great information, I quite like the topic of demons, and other folklore topics as well (both in Judaism, but, in other world cultures as well). Also, when you say demons are chaos and deceit incarnate that feed off our superstitions, does that mean they grow stronger the...

    Ask the Jews

    I'm sure other people will be able to give better explanations, but, I think there are different accounts, some believe demons are incomplete beings, that weren't given bodies during Creation (or something similar to that), I think others believed that demons were the remanent of forces and...

    Ask the Jews

    I'm not sure if I'm remembering this right, but, wasn't the demon king, Ashmodai said to have been a Jewish demon (like he studied the Torah, observed the Holy Days, etc). Would that have made him someone who was considered a good demon, or was he still considered dangerous?. I definitely...

    Karaites

    Thanks for telling me, I didn't know all that, and, that's interesting about the sacrifice part, I find that quite interesting. Do the Samaritans accept converts, or are they more similar to religions like the Yezidi, and Zoroastrians, where they don't accept outsiders?. Thanks again :). David.

    Karaites

    If it's ok to ask, what is Karaite Judaism?. Also, who are the Samaritans?, I've heard of them before, do they still exist (I know "the good Samaritan" makes an appearance with Jesus, but, are they still around)?, how do they differ to regular Judaism?.

    The Development of the Jesus Christ Myth

    I'm failing to see the connect between people sprouting psuedo-history like the "Jesus Myth" crowd, and the crimes the Church has done in past centuries. I supose that means Jews should start sprouting any old **** about Germans, because of the Holocaust?. It's one thing to criticize...

    The Development of the Jesus Christ Myth

    This sounds like Earl Dohety's Jesus Puzzle theory, and, personally, I don't buy it. I'm not a Christian or a historian, so, there may be far more qualified people than myself to speak on this, but, from everything I've read, I've see no reason to believe there wasn't a Jesus, and most of the...

    'Must a Jew Believe Anything?'

    Yesterday, I came across this article on The Guardian (a major British Newspaper), and he brought up a book called 'Must a Jew Believe Anything?' by Menachem Kellner, which I've since looked up online and it sounds interesting, and, from the reviews I've read, the book seems to say, before...

    Why doesn't Judaism proselytize?

    I can't answer about the past, but, from what I've read, Jews believe other people have their own paths to God, and that the Jewish religion is for Jews, you can convert to it, so, it's not like interested people are completely shut out, but, it takes hard work and dedication, to prove it's...
