What in my post could possibly have offended you so?

You speak of the "Holy Torah, Written and Oral," and then you say you don't really know the Talmud (Oral Law, for those in the Peanut Gallery). I just think that non-Jews might take umbrage with your attempt here to play rabbi, and when that happens it hurts me.

You wrote: Truly the Holy Torah, Written and Oral, is a single Torah which was given to Israel and not to anyone else.

I think it says that the Torah was given simultaneously in the 70 known languages of the World. The tradition is that the Torah belongs to everyone, not just us (B'nai Yisrael). Do you object to all those Torah translations found in many hotel and motel rooms? (The Gideons are not Jewish.)

So you have absolutely nothing to say about the actual contents of the actual vanity I posted? You are simply suffering from guilt at being of the Chosen People?

The Torah applies to everyone in that it is THE Ultimate Revelation. However, in its fullness it belongs to Israel and (as you know) "teaching Torah to non-Jews" (meaning certain points of the Oral Tradition which are of no application to non-Jews) theoretically (though not actually) requires the death penalty.

I am sorry you are embarrassed by Israel's exalted position as mankind's priestly people who are indeed destined to "rule the world" (a verse the Catholic Church in the past saw no trouble with applying to itself) through the Messianic Dynasty and the priestly Temple Service.

Are you embarrassed that Israel is not numbered among the nations of the earth and that Hebrew is not numbered among the tongues of the nations of the earth? That the very borders of all nations are somehow mystically connected to the numbers of the tribes of Israel? That Israel is the one people that has no ruling constellation ('ein ['ayin] leYisra'el mazzal)? That the Jewish soul is essentially different from the non-Jewish soul, originating from a different part of the spiritual realms (which is one reason why Jewish influence is all out of proportion with Jewish numbers)? You must be terribly embarrassed by such works as The Eternal Nation by the late Rabbi Shlomo Rotenberg (zt"l).

I can assure you that if you know anything about my years here on FR you will probably be even more greatly embarrassed. When the world thinks that Jews are essentially free-thinking intellectuals obsessed with mere physical survival over all else (and rabidly anti-Biblical on the assumption that anything the Bible has to say is somehow "chr*stian"), I strive to the best of my poor ability to reveal the actaul contents of the Jewish religion (a Divinely-dictated Torah, in utter rejection of all secular and chr*stian critical theories). You will also be embarrassed to learn that I am a creationist. (I know, "only chr*stians are creationists." I've heard it all before. I've also heard that only "western" chr*stians (as opposed to the Orthodox) only Protestants are creationists. What can I reply but what I have stated innumerable times on this forum: that while some Orthodox Jews indeed accept the theory of evolution, they must inconsistently stop listening to science and switch to literalist dogma the moment Adam is created.)

I had hoped to simply expose FReepers to some of the things mentioned in the book in which I found this information. Instead you have chosen to be offended by your bechirah and plead democracy and equality.

I am sorry I embarrass you. But I do so merely by making public certain things which have heretofore been known only in Torah Jewish circles.

I hope others have also read the post and are not distracted by a comment I made at the very end (which I still stand by).

PS: "Gideon Bibles" aren't Bibles; they are merely translations.
