It’s okay, I was just pointing that out. This is what every single Jew has to do before opening their mouth (or keyboard) and it’s really hard. We’re a huge nation, which means people like Soros and Bernie Madoff are part of that family.

Think about that. Think long and hard. Lashon hara is a sin just like murder is a sin.

Everything you ever learned about Hashem in any religion is a lie. Being a Jew isn’t religion.

I do insult Soros etc. that do extremely great harm to other people. This may indeed be a transgression, I consider this question seriously but right now at least I do insult the evil-doers.... I pray if they hear enough criticisms they just MIGHT pray about their evil conduct. Perhaps this is a thankless hope. It probably is a thankless hope. This may be wrong=thinking but FAILING to speak clearly about great evil... would also I believe be a mistake. We must speak up in whatever ways we can when we see one person doing great harm to many innocent victims. (And I know I am no “saint”...)

At any event, I did not wish to encouarge any harsh words from YOU, for anybody. My apologies if I typed anything to you that came across that way. (I will take the blame on myself, I do not mean to entice others into my course.)

Best regards,

Even those points of truth God Himself has revealed to all humanity, as the psalmist says? The above statement introduces a contradiction in God's own nature. It is impossible. Therefore, it is untrue.

Being a Jew isn’t religion.

This is entirely a matter of selective definition. An unsettled debate. The Apostle Paul said being a Jew was not a matter of the flesh but the heart. Yet even Paul recognized his brothers according to the flesh, even when they were unbelievers.

Which gets us to the center of the citadel. According to Jesus, any profession of fidelity to God is proven false if the Messiah of God is rejected. Who recognizes the Jewishness of who, or the Judaism of a converted Muslim, or the sincereity of a Jewish Buddhist who finds the Quaran enlightening, are all secondary questions, however interesting. What is central is whether the claims of Jesus are true. If they are, nothing else but faith in Him can set a man or woman right with God. Nothing.

Peace,

SR
