Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
I agree that keeping Jewish law is obligatory for Jews, but it is not related to who is a Jew.Then you should see my point. The disobedient are not the good. God requires keeping the commandments.
You like to repeat this. Is there a reason you are so focused on the negative side of the People of Israel?Is that what israel is of ezek 22? Funny, the chapter calls israel dross,
I'm curious what you think about the book of Hosea, where God teaches that he is faithful to Israel even Israel is not faithful to him.
That's because the term Jew (Yehudi) did not exist until the Babylonian captivity, to refer to all those from the Kingdom of Judah who were taken prisoner.not Jew or Jewish.
Me personally? I'm a religious Jew, conservative movement. I keep the commandments. But my Jewish identity does not rest on that.I know, you keep writing that. I like Judaism, the religion, because of the personal responsibility that the literature teaches. I could see why so much favor by god for the folk that keep the commandments. You?
It's important. It's just not related.You like telling me, that Jews are a tribe. Yet you do not honor the persons for keeping the commandments as even relevant.'
You are mistaken. Were the Moabites also a religion? Were the Jebusites also a religion? No, all of these various Peoples were tribal.= It's not a tribe
You are deliberately obfuscating. We are in no way discussing the modern nation state of Israel. I quite specifically said "People of Israel" which means something quite different from Israeli.Israel did not exist prior to 1947
I only use it reluctantly. Apostates do exist. There are Christians who are technically Jews, even though they have turned their back on their people. The former Cardinal Lustiger of Paris would be an example of a famous Jew who was a Christian.I am wondering if you are also one of those that use the term christian-Jew?
