You choose for only you are responsible.
What great religious words in any religion compare to Jesus teachings?
Can you disconnect the irritable angry and jealous view of God given in the Old Testament from the true God of love viewed in Jesus teachings?
Are you allowed by your religion to do such a thing and still be Jewish? What's more important?
wrong!Love thy neighbor? From Jesus, not the Old Testament.
from a jewish perspective it goes against the TorahIt's not idolatry if Jesus is the Son of God. Not all Christians believe He was God, He did not say this. He spoke well of His Father.
for an observant Jew, if anything comes that says it is from G-d but contradicts the Torah, it is not G-d's word to the JewsLet me ask you this, IF there was more information available about God and the universe, would you listen? Or would you cast it aside because everything you need to know is in the Torah?
i don't need this one line to validate the Torah to me. Judaism's teachings of ethics and morality and the centrality of family and the belief that it takes more than a statement of faith to be a good person, it takes action, validates the Torah to me.Ah yes, Leviticus. So for you it validates your entire old book because it said this first, one time.
And it is only one of many other poetic and evolutionary ideas about the true God of love as explained by Jesus in the New Testament.
Which is the garden?
Keep the Torah if you wish. Practice an eye for an eye. Practice blood sacrifice. Stone sinners. Give a ransom to God. Do you still do all these things or has your faith evolved some from the ancient book?

evearael said:Matthew 22:36-40
36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'[b] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'[c] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Notice the similarities?

Absolutely, positively, not possible. Not true, no way, no how.
God does not have these petty human traits. He is a God of love for His creation and could not possibly do any of those things listed above. It is easier for a ant to swallow the sun than for any one of those things to happen.
But it is your choice what to believe.
Jerrell said:Jews dont beleive for the same reason many dont beleive. But yet Jews are difffrent. Throughout all history until Jesus the Messiah's freed The Jews from there Opressors. Yet Jesus did not wish to lead a Rebellion aginast Rome, he preached Peace and love of God. Jews were not looking for a Messiah to save them from their sins, they were looking for a messiah to save them from a Temporary Possesor. That is one reason they dont Beleive.
2) Many dont beleive becuase they just dont have the faith
3) Or they want to reamin in Darkness, they dont want to come to the Light(Jesus is the Light)
4)Jews will be given a Second Chance, unlike the Gentiles who recieve the Mark, 144,000 Jews wuill preach the Gospel of Jesus. Then the whole World will see Jesus commingin the sky, riding on a White Horse. Even a donkey would beleive Jesus is real then.
