The jews are almost all gone

144,000, we're still way off from that.....

 

what ever is jews,christians or moslems all 3 book are full of quackery.

 

even if you were completly innocent, i.e. no distinction between good and evil and a serpent who frankly does know good from evil and is capable of the latter is tempting you?


you have the benefits, you pay the price, you have a sense of good v. evil.....

 

i dont get your question. If an allmighty god told me not do something, i wouldnt do it.

 

I never said sin doesn't exist, and I won't say it now. I will say that sin doesn't "seperate" you from G-d, as there's no such thing as "seperate from G-d"
It's more like a relationship... every time you sin, it hurts your relationship with G-d, and it's harder- though not impossible- to communicate with him, to "see" him in the world and have his protection and blessings, etc.

 

But if God told you that you needed to be Born Again, would you?

 

The fuuny part is no one have seen him since TV was invented or the film camera.

 

im not totally sure what born again means

 

You mean like rebirthing? I've heard of that. It sounds intense. Not sure it's something I'd like to try. A bit much.

It isn't a physical rebirth but a spiritual one.

 

Rebirthing is spiritual. Check it out:

Is it something like that?

 

are you kidding around? hes talking about finding God again, being reborn.

 

I know what he's talking about. Yes, I'm just joshing him. Actually, if what he means is taken as plainly as you say, and all of the Christological concepts are removed, then I have been reborn. I once was lost, but now I'm found, a liberal, non-fundamentalist, agnostic, experientialist, Jew who can still see. Of course I don't think I was ever lost. I think I was always exactly where I was supposed to be. But my experience of the world was subtly different.

Do you still do animal sacrifices?

 

Nope. Since the Temple is gone, all Jews give offerings of their lips. The theological understanding is that God would supply a way to draw close to Him at all times, and it is actually explained in the books of the prophets, that God does not really desire sacrifices, and what He does want is acts of lovingkindness and prayer. None of this really matters much to me since I don't consider the Torah uniquely divine, but it probably matters more to you. Actually, if I did still do animal sacrifices, that would be extremely fundamentalist.

Are you asking about female rabbis?

 

What authority has given the Jews the right to decide what God would want them to do, especially when He already commanded them to do animal sacrifices? Also, it does not require the Temple to do animal sacrifices because they offered sacrifices to God prior to the Temple. By whose authority did the they decide to drop that practice?

 

Women can do anything except be the head of the church and that is because the order of who sinned. Eve first, Adam second--a woman was the first to be decieved.
