Are 'different Orthodox movements' equally true?

I assume you're referring to Chasidim, Charedim, Sefaradim, Litvak Yeshivish, etc., as though they were different religions. They are not. They're certainly more united than all the various species of Fundamentalist Protestants who disagree on everything except that they are all "saved."

"Open Orthodoxy," now, is not true. And I have my doubts about "Modern Orthodoxy" as well.

The Torah is what is true.

I’m not the one pushing 7 ‘simple’ laws...

Who said they were simple? I certainly never made any such claim.

So that ONLY 'different Orthodox movements' evangelize each other to convert to THEIR distinctly different type of religion?

You continually demonstrate to anyone reading that you are indeed an outsider trying to wade into what you neither understand nor appreciate. Orthodox movements do not make attempts to "evangelize" one another. That's YOUR terminology and YOUR pathetic attempts.

Which double-down, , besides the blasphemer whom your promote, only further affirms your antiChristian message, so why not just go ahead and answer the relevant questions you were asked? Why hide? Claiming you are simply interested with issues within Judaism in promoting Singer will not work.

I forgive you for your transgressions, and with all my heart ask Hashem to show you the same. There are bigger and more critical issues at hand.

You’re better off going to the source rather than a faux version.

Please; enlighten me.

It is quite possible to oppose proselytization for fundamentalist religious reasons, but mainline versions of chrstianity have rejected proselytism for the same reason they have rejected the veracity of the Bible.

Well; you've shown that HSB don't proselytize; now show for the mainliners.

Don't assume what I am referring to.

I merely wanted to know the groups that were being inferred to; since I am not Jewish (although I do believe the stories I've read about a certain Jewish carpenter from long ago.

Upon what do you base your judgement here?

Someone inferred as much; merely by referencing the 7 Noahide laws; period.

Simply more self-righteousness and evasion, the blind leading the blind.

You are a very impatient teacher.

Orthodox movements do not make attempts to "evangelize" one another.

Then why this thread?

One group wants to show off that THEY are the correct one and sling mud on the rest?

As are your apparent beliefs about the basic Christian faith.

I can't speak for all Jews. I'm not a rabbi. I'm not a scholar. I'm just a Jew. My opinion is there's more prophecy in the Torah than anyplace else.

http://www.sefaria.org/explore

החכמים הראשונים ז״ל כר״ס גאון והרמב״ם, כשראו שנתרבו ספרי מינים בעולם, והוטלו בלבבות סערות ודעות משובשות בשרשי התורה, השתדלו הרבה להוציא את הנבוכים ממבוכתם והישירו את הדרך לפני בני הדור, להורותם שאין המושכלות האמתיות יכולות לסתור שרשי התורה חלילה, ולא דבר אחד מדבריה, כי אם לפעמים נתחכם על ידי דרכי הדרישות לעמוד על עמקה של תורה, ותחשב זאת לנו לצדקה שנזכה לעמוד על נקודת האמת בהבנת התורה.

When the medieval sages such as Rabbi Saadia Gaon and Maimonides saw an increase of heretical books in the world, and that intellectual storms and mistaken ideas about the roots of Torah were being placed in people's hearts, they made great efforts to take the perplexed out of their perplexity. Thus, they straightened out the path for the people of their generation. They taught people that it is impossible for the products of true reasoning to contradict the Torah, God forbid - neither its roots or any of its teachings. Rather, sometimes we become wiser through [employing] the tools of research, and comprehend the depth of the Torah. It should be counted for us for righteousness that we merit [thereby] comprehending a point of truth in the understanding of the Torah.
