Rabbi Tovia Singer responds to a former Arab Muslim woman regarding her conversion to Conservative Judaism.
Thank you all for your replies much to read and view, which is good for learning sake.
Inane and insolent. But indeed it is fitting, as consistent with your views. Go shuffle off.
So; the blood of oxen and lambs DOES take away sin; right?
If you see a face, then you're cut off from Hashem.
NO BLOOD!
What’s the difference between kosher and non-kosher meat?
You're trying to justify human blood atonement and that's not how it works at all.
WHAT IS KOSHER MEAT? DEVOID OF BLOOD. NO BLOOD OR FAT ON ALTAR. BLOOD IS FORBIDDEN FOR CONSUMPTION.
Just so we’re perfectly clear here...
The only sin offering is confession and repentance. There’s no blood involved. Turn away from your transgressions and LIVE. Your sin shouldn’t be a stumbling block.
You’re trying to reference ritual purity laws, which AGAIN has to be a kosher slaughter with no blood or fat. It’s not the same thing.
Barley must be really confusing.
See; that wasn't so hard to finally admit; was it.
You're trying to justify human blood atonement and that's not how it works at all.
Am I now.
And in what way am I doing this thing you've claimed?
Does blood on a doorpost save some from certain death?
The scapegoat would atone for all the sins in the Torah: https://www.scribd.com/doc/28390008/Maimondes-Hilchot-Teshuva-The-Rules-of-Repentance
Are you standing on one leg?
It’s hard to get an answer from you.
Should I just give up trying?
Didn't have Torah yet.
From your (Jewish) link:
2. Because the scapegoat acted as an atonement for all of Israel, the High Priest confessed upon it in the name of all of Israel. As it’s written: “And he will confess upon it all of the transgressions of the Children of Israel ....” (Leviticus 16:21).The scapegoat would atone for all the sins in the Torah: for the serious ones, and for light ones; for those done purposefully, and for those done accidentally; for those the sinner was aware of, and for those he was not aware of — as long as the sinner did teshuvah. But if he didn’t do teshuvah, the scapegoat would only atone for light sins. As to which are “light” or “serious” sins, the serious ones are those that incur a court-imposed death sentence or spiritual excision. Vain and untrue oaths would also be serious sins, even though they don’t incur excision. All other prohibitions and imperatives that don’t incur spiritual excision are light sins.3. In our days when the Holy Temple no longer stands and there’s no longer an atoning altar all there is, is teshuvah. Teshuvah atones for all sins. Even if one were a wrongdoer his whole life but he did teshuvah in the end, all his wrongdoing would go un-cited. As it’s written: “And the wrongdoing of the wrongdoer will not make him stumble on the day he does teshuvah for his wrongdoing” (Ezekiel 33:12)
So Teshuvah (”return” [to G-d], ie, repentance) was and is still necessary and is in fact the main ingredient to salvation, not belief (faith) alone.
And we see that no non-human has to die.
Your questioning strives to equate your lamb with a goat, doesn’t it?
Plainly said in Leviticus 4:17.
