I learned this in a Jewish Synagogue as part of Hebrew training 2 years ago.
It surprised me as I also was taught that Moses wrote the Torah.
I spent 3 months in Israel learning from the Israeli people about their history and culture. It is much more complex than you realize.
Relax, life isn’t going to come to an end debating Christianity, the Catholic Church or the Reformation.
It WILL waste lots of valuable time on FR.
BTW, I have always respected your opinion.
I only clicked on the link to see what RaceBannon had to say on this subject.
Didn’t mean to create waves my friend.
There are various schools of thought in Jewish circles. I came across them too. The thing that hits me, is if they think even half these explainings-away are true, why are they even bothering with their scriptures. Why not study Shakespeare or Homer to guide your lives.
You are in fact still believing that there is God in them in a way that God is not in the other things.
