That's just my point, CZ. What is "spiritual" about the meshiyah warrior king defeating Israel's enemies and convincing the world the God of Israel is one true God? It seems more like might-is-right type of "spirituality."
You do remember that I'm a fundie, right? So when I tell you it's because it's true and that's what G-d mandates, perhaps you'll pretend that you understand.
But you are not a fundie, ZC. You used to be. You left Christianity and now you don't have a religion to be identified with. Now you simply follow the Noachide laws as a righteous ("acceptable") Gentile who gets—as I see it—to enjoy the crumbs of Judaism.
And again, the non-Jews will not adopt Judaism--they'll adopt the Seven Noachide Laws. But this will still require the jettisoning of chr*stianity, islam, or any other religion
That's about as believable as saying the Jews will convert to Christ at the very last moment...
What do you mean I don't have a religion to be identified with? Noachism is a religion. It is the "one true religion" of all non-Jews. The fact that most people have never heard of it doesn't change a thing.
I am a "fundie" because I regard religious truth as factual truth. It isn't some "special" type of truth that is removed from the rest of reality--some sort of allegoric or parabolic truth or something like that. At basis that is what fundamentalism is: the acceptance of the facticity of religious truth. Plus of course there's the fact that I believe the Torah is actually true and corresponds to reality in history and science as well as "religion."
I simply do not understand why people have such a hard time accepting that Noachism is G-d's authorized religion for all non-Jewish humanity. For some reason the rest of you seem to think it's a sort of "second class" something or other. Do you think that every Catholic/Orthodox chr*stian is supposed to be a priest/bishop/monk/nun? Do you think the laity is picking up the crumbs from the only people G-d really cares about? The Jewish People are simply the clergy of the human race. Naturally they have special rules that apply to them just as people in "holy orders" have extra rules to follow. But without a laity a priesthood means nothing, and Israel's priesthood would mean nothing without the rest of the human race over which to sere as priests.
What's the deal? Does it bother you that for the first time in my life I am satisfied and all my questions (the ones for which answers exist in this life) have been answered? What you see as an "unnatural" existence as a Noachide (neither Jewish nor any other religion) is in fact what G-d wills for all non-Jewish humanity. If you can't grasp that then I can't help you.
I'm sorry, but chr*stianity has never been anything other than a big disappointment in all its forms. Fundamentalist Protestantism demands a mystical "new birth" that one can never be sure he has experienced (if you've had it you'll know, but you can not have it and think you do!) and liturgical chr*stianity is too blasted strange for anything (I'm sorry, but none of it makes any sense, and as a non-Irish/Italian/Greek/Russian/whatever I always felt like a stranger who was more tolerated than anything else). Why you can't see such things in chr*stianity and insist on seeing it in Noachism I don't know, other than you had the happy accident of being born into the "family." What's the difference between subservience to the traditional chr*stian ethnic groups and subservience to Israel? I'm sorry; I choose the latter. If that offends you, there really isn't anything I can do about it other than not care.
