You’re dealing with a mocker, who is relying on a heretical opinion from the Reform [Reformation?].

I have no idea with whom I'm dealing (cowboyusa): It's extraordinarily difficult to parse his ramblings and understand even what he is trying to say. I don't know: He may even be trying to say something righteous, but he is unable to formulate a coherent sentence, let alone defend his statements in an ordered and rational fashion, so I've given up.

As for your contribution - which, in contrast, is extremely well composed and lucid (with the exception of your closing sentence. What is "Be like a description of of every meal Moses had, every day," supposed to mean, anyway?): I am no Biblical scholar, nor am I a Jew - so the issue of "What constitutes Jewishness?" doesn't really interest me. I view the matter of "ritual bathing" etc. as now moot, anyway, what with the New Testament and all.

Regards,

A “mocker” is a term from psalms. Such persons also make an appearance as one of the children mentioned in the Seder meal. In modern terms, it’s called the “Dunning Kruger Effect”. It refers to people so stupid they are unaware and incapable of understanding they are stupid and they instead think they are experts. Joe Biden is a perfect example.

Life lesson from all three sources: don’t bother with them. They are willfully stupid and will not learn.

The “reform” refers to a heretical leftist branch of Judaism common in the USA. I am orthodox. The Reform have done much to pollute the world with heresy.

The final sentence (“be like. . . “)is an explanation of why the mundane detail of conversion was left out. Well lots of mundane details are left out of the Torah (or any well told report), including meal choices. If there was no conversion, it would have be noteworthy.

I said that Numbers 1:18 shows that Jewishness comes through the father, not the mother.
