Just remember that this is (at least unofficially) a Christian site where Judaism is only tolerated because of political concerns. Assume the moderators share the same distaste for Jews and Judaism as the typical poster.
Sometimes it is more thought-provoking just to explain Hebrew words or usage, or just to correct facts or mistaken views about what Jews believe.
Non-Jews do need to hear the Sheva Mitzvot B’nei Noach from Jews, and do need to know that “the righteous of all the nations have a share in the world to come.”
The problem is you don’t know who “the righteous of all the nations are..
have a share in the world to come.”
Romans 3:10
As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one;
Psalm 14:1 For the director of music. Of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.
Psalm 53:1 For the director of music. According to mahalath. A maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.
Psalm 143:2 Do not bring your servant into judgment, for no one living is righteous before you.
“Just remember that this is (at least unofficially) a Christian site where Judaism is only tolerated because of political concerns. Assume the moderators share the same distaste for Jews and Judaism as the typical poster.”
Filthy lies. You will not find more devoted defenders of Israel than the people on this website. You are merely indulging in victimhood in order to justify your lack of belief and your vanity. And yet, it was a Jewish poster who setup this thread. You’re as bad as the liberals who cry racism.
I appreciate what you are saying and I think I was coming to that understanding with this thread. I’ve been on FR for 8 years and I’ve had plenty of these types of discussions. In most cases, I had the sense that people were just making sincere exploration to understand each other better. Sure, there have been the die-hard evangelists and a few fire-breathers. I just never knew it was the website policy to allow the aggressive proselytizing and condemnation of Judaism that I’ve seen on this thread.
I sort of came here because in many ways its a great website for conservatives and also, to let the conservative world know there are Jews out here who aren’t knee jerk liberals, who, like me despise liberalism. I hope to be able to keep doing that. But I’m going to answer people point blank. If they want to tell me that I’m following the wrong religion, or my understanding of the Torah is misguided or insist that I accept their views on the Messiah, I’m going to tell them the truth. Let the chips fall where they may.
