Yup. And yet somehow I persevere.
So like I was in an actual doctor's office, having just studied in 6th grade about vaccines and them talking about I believe it was active vs passive vaccines (one has just antibodies another has a copy of the disease but inert) and I asked which which it was. Pretty quickly I realized that doctors don't actually understand vaccines they prescribe.
You are presumptuous in a variety of contexts, not just religion. Good to know. A 6th grade education no doubt equips you to judge what a doctor knows and understands.
I have since found out that medical textbooks tell them a few paragraphs at most on thousands of pages, mostly schedules.
And since doctors only know what they read in a textbook in medical school, your conclusion is undoubtedly accurate.
And again, why I was in high school and so stressed about a college interview that I didn't eat and scratched to the point of my skin getting bruised and purple. They told me they'd never seen this before and couldn't explain what was wrong. Uhhh yeah, I was stressed and starving and had bruised skin. At least they were honest.
Wait, doctors don’t know everything? And you didn’t see a psychologist? This is very telling, I’m just not sure how it is remotely relevant.
I vaguely remember psalms about God pulling the haughty from their thrones and lifting up the lowly. So here you are, telling me "I'm an expert really" when you don't remember about Moses killing one of those Egyptian slavedrivers. Yet you're assuming I'm the haughty one.
Actually, I referenced it – he killed an Egyptian who was beating a slave and you call this murder.
Yes, yes, by all means tell us your credentials and how I could never understand.
You want my credentials? I fear you would misunderstand them in the same way that you just misunderstood when I said “I didn't say "you'd never understand" just "you have shown that you don't understand."” And you ask about how you “could never understand.”
Meanwhile, you've yet to state why a person could or couldn't be the Messiah.
You have yet to ask. Simply put, the person needs the person lineage, the qualities and behaviors demanded, and has to fulfill the expectations, every one of them. Jesus fails on a number of levels. I can give you resources to read so you will not stay at the level of a 6th grader in your understanding.
To be Messiah means to be chosen,
Not by definition, no.
Sort of. A king is anointed so when he is made king, he will be anointed by the man who is in the position to anoint (a prophet or similar religious leader]
No. He wasn’t. The anointing has to be by a particular type of oil absent in Jesus’ day. So, no, couldn’t possibly be anything in particular.
I know when the Ten Commandments we made. I also know the long history of falling away and backsliding, followed by conquest by foreign tribes. Jews as a result became increasingly insular.
If you knew, you wouldn’t have said what you did. And the “increasingly insular” is actually wrong. Over time, the Jews became less insular and that was the problem.
Please try to keep up. The Jews made their laws and built traditions around them.
That’s what you want to believe, based on your 6th grade education, movies and all.
But these traditions became divorced from actual human relationships.
No, later ideas were often BECAUSE of human relationships. Pas Akum for example.
For instance, a person you help out invites you to their house. They serve kosher food, having researched it extensively. But "I can't eat here", you say, "you don't have two fridges and besides you're a Gentile serving me food."
Again with the 2 fridges? Where do you get this stuff? And what’s the problem of a non-Jew serving food? You make up rules and then say how horrible they are.
Despite the fact that they were not only careful as best they could to keep meat away from milk and serve no forbidden meats or other foods, you refuse because of who they are.
Again, this just shows that you don’t understand the rules. Let’s say you build a car in your garage. You tried really hard to follow what you think are the basic rules and yet the government won’t make it street legal. But, heck, YOU TRIED and your superficial understanding of the rules should be enough, right? Do you act as a doctor to your friends because you try, based on your 6th grade medical knowledge? Is it offensive if they don’t rely on your medical advice?
At what point have you stopped being kosher, and started being unjust?
I haven’t. That you ask just means you don’t understand how things work.
Yet he understood the flaws of kosher. I do too. I'm gonna order a chicken sandwich with grilled cheese (chicken lay eggs, it is not their mother's milk, whereas chicken with egg is allowed).
Since you aren’t bound by the laws of kosher, go eat whatever you want. The question of eggs and chicken is a non-starter. No one has said that it isn’t allowed.
Tell me why it's different then. I watched a movie about Irish settlers moving into a town, and the entire town on the (Christian, so Sunday) Sabbath helped them build a house. Because otherwise they'd not have a home.
Why general healing and saving a life are different? Because a cold, or a tooth ache aren’t the same as dying. I hope that that’s pretty obvious.
If a Jewish family moved into a town that lacked a house, on a Sabbath, then a Jewish family would host them. Simple. Solved.
