Actually, Tumah's questions were already answered elsewhere on this forum, so no need to repeat the same.
Deal accepted
Do you believe in coincidence? or do you believe that God ordains and orchestrates every seeming occurrence of coincidence??
Tumah said:This wouldn't exactly be be a coincidence, since it doesn't say "Muhammad", it says "MaCHaMuDIM."
Your "coincidence" would be like saying that Jonah 2:1 "VaYiMaN YHWH DaG GaDoL." And G-d appointed a great fish is actually a prophecy about a big dog, because DaG can be read as DoG, when you change the vowel points. Maybe a prophecy for Lassie?
Tumah said:would you like to provide an example of another person who's name is written in plural form in Jewish Scriptures as a sign of respect?
Dantech quoting Tumah said:would you like to provide an example of another person who's name is written in plural form in Jewish Scriptures as a sign of respect?
I can lie to a goy? Never knew that!I asked you a direct question - do YOU believe in coincidence? Or do YOU believe that God ordains, and decrees?
Please do not insult my intelligence again thank you.
You're an orthodox Jew, right?
Your theology demands that you do not believe in coincidence - in fact there is NO WORD FOR COINCIDENCE IN THE HEBREW LANGUAGE BECAUSE IT IS A FALSE CONCEPT ACCORDING TO JUDAISM.
Surely you know that?
Now let's reconcile the original question once again Dantech - if there is no such thing as the idea of coincdence in Judaism - why do you now split hairs on this issue? Are you exercising your right to lie to a goy?
when have I not been honest?Come on fella, if you are going to debate me, then atleast be honest - G-D is watching you.
As for your rather weak reiteration and quote of Tumahs post, which try to water down the Muhammad-im verse due to the vowel points not being present, you thinkyou have a point? by comparing dag to dog?
actually, you fell on the perfect person to ask this. As you must know (probably a generous insinuation) in most synagogues, the rabbi is not the one that conducts the prayer, the hazan is. I, Mr scimitar, am a hazan. My job consists of making sure I pronounce and sing each word as it was written. When I don't, everyone Erik jump up and correct me, simply because pronunciation is extremely important to us since we are commanded to preserve our scripture.I can prove you wrong no problem - in fact - surely you know tyou are lying to me when you must have heard the Songs of Solomon being recited by Rabbi's and the like?
it doesn't prove anything. Want me to record one and upload it to YouTube?Here - listen to it yourself, recited by a Rabbi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YsA45CuvFk
Muhammad'im - clear as day.
not in the future sense, no.... the prophecy of Muhammad pbuh was fulfilled in the acceptance of his prophethood. Even the Jews of Yathrib accepted him and became Muslims - they were not ignorant of their own scriptures (torah, psalms).
Are you serious?Oh Gosh, not more empty opining without presenting any evidence to back up your emotiive rant?
COME ON.
Do better, address my post with more honesty - there is no such thing as coincidence in Judaism.... by your religions theological standard, you have to accept that Muhammad is in the Songs of Solomon.
Clearly you are avoiding the issue. Because i've placed you inside of a theological conundrum, and its shaking your very faith.
The truth is, you cannot produce any viable answer as i have tested even a rabbi with the same and he had to admit, he had no answer.
So please, try again.
Scimitar
EDIT: watch this and then come back with your lame argument https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZxbZSqsgvw
Are you serious?
I'm done with this clown...
Iam quite surprised that it took you so long as it was obvious from the start.
Well u can pat eachother on the back all u like. You don't know your own jewish theology in relation to divine decree and coincidences. Such a shame. I thought I'd have a genuine debate with u but you ended up the real clown here pal.
*turbo eyeroll
Ok, answer me a yes no answer - does Jewish theology accept the idea of coincidence?
Remember, yes or no answer.
EDIT: why did you ignore the video I posted a link to? The one in which a Jewish reciter is reciting the very verse in question? Is it out of a sense of loss that you feel cornered by people from your own faith who read the verse and pronounce it Muhammad-im?
and by the way numbers have everything to do with it
because (if i tell u that there are a couple of wood logs and 100 persons say that there are 50 but 2 say that they are only 49) who would u believe ???
Dantech I'm asking you not to talk theoretically. I'm asking you a straight question. Does Judaism preach the idea of coincidence or not within its theology? It's really simple dantech - you either say YES or NO.I've been telling you, and asking you over and over again.
Say I don't believe in coincidence. Say I agree that the name of your prophet is found in the middle of that verse.
WHAT WOULD THAT PROVE? WHAT WOULD THE SENTENCE EVEN MEAN?
If you want to answer honestly, by all means go ahead. Otherwise, I'll really be out this time.
Please answer with a yes or no only. Is coincidence a part of Jewish theology? YES OR NO?
The reason why you don't answer me straight ia because if you did answer straight and correct my saying NO. Then you'd have to admit that God had put Muhammad's name in psalms in a most praised and beloved manner. A prophet. A messenger. A sealing on all prophet hood.
But as usual, like all jews you would prefer to look like stupid than admit he truth.

You don't tell me what if when and maybe. That paints a picture hazy.
You want a serious debate? Then answer the question in a straight forward manner. This is the 3rd time I'm asking you. It's not escaped my attention that you are trying to take this in another direction, one that is circular. Please answer with a yes or no only. Is coincidence a part of Jewish theology? YES OR NO?

Facepalm much?
