    Judaism vs Christianity: Second Coming of Messiah

    Most rabbis agree about what prophecies are messianic. There are a few that are points of contention. A couple that are accepted by all include that all people will know Hashem and acknowledge Him as the one true god and there will be world wide peace. Therefore, neither the Jews nor anyone...

    Judaism vs Christianity: Second Coming of Messiah

    The term mashiach (messiah) means anointed one and appears many times in Tanakh. It is even used for Cyrus, the Persian king. Most of the times it appears it is about what will occur when when he comes. There are about 12 prophecies (depending on who’s counting) about the messianic age. None of...

    The Best Muslims

    A rabbi had a small congregation in Jakarta. He said that Indonesia was the one place in which he never experienced anti Semitism. Of course, that doesn’t say much for the “Christian” countries that he had visited. It has been my experience with Islam, as limited as it is, that it is a religion...

    A scientific defense of spiritual & religious faith | Tony Jack | TEDxCLE

    Tanakh does not deny basic science because it is neither a history book nor a science book. It is a book of moral and ethical teachings, perhaps loosely based on actual events.

    Evidence For The Exodus

    The teachings of Exodus do not depend on its historical accuracy. It is a story of cruel slavery, freedom, and many other things. It’s culmination is the giving is the giving of the law and the establishment of the Mosaic covenant. There is some archeological evidence that the story I’d based...

    Are Creationists the Great Pretenders?

    Science starts with the observation of phenomena, looks to explain them by the use of empirical data, reaches a conclusion, and then immediately test the conclusion in an attempt to invalidate it. Creationism starts with a conclusion based on what they consider to be a history book, find...

    Proven Science says there is No Universe without Conscious Man to Observe it.

    So, until G-d created Adam the universe did not exist and the six days of creation never happened. So much for creationism.

    The Arrogance of Both Science and Religion

    Congratulations! You’ve just proven that Gone With the Wind is a true story. Are you not familiar with historical fiction?

    What does the Bible say about the origins of the Earth in relation to what science say?

    I also cannot find a single error in the scriptures (or the source of your Newton quote). However, I believe that G-d did not give is the ability to think and reason, to reach conclusions based on observations, the intellect to discover things about His universe, and to learn more each day, and...

    Spirit or Superstition?

    My religion starts off with an absolute belief in G-d. All else flows from there. It is not the historical validity of Torah that supports us, but the teachings of G-d that are contained therein. While historical and anthropological evidence has been found supporting the broad history contained...

    MURDER, GENOCIDE, and ATHEISTS.

    The wars between various Christian groups has killed millions. Remember, the first Crusade was launched to destroy the Cathars. While you can talk about the politics of religious wars, the politics was based on gaining power over religious groups who practiced and believed differently...

    What does the Bible say about the origins of the Earth in relation to what science say?

    There is no conflict between science and belief in G-d. Science studies the how, while religion is involved with the who. A G-d who created our universe over 14 billion years impresses me a lot more that what is written in Genesis. After all, Genesis is part of the Law and G-d’s ethical and...

    Scientific Evidence for Universal Common Descent

    Evolution is not a “thing”. It is an explanation of observable phenomena. Like any other scientific theory in that it’s based on empirical evidence, deductive reasoning, it predicts future findings, it is scientifically useful for further research, it suggests further research, and it is...

    Jesus is not God

    The trinity is also anathema to Judaism.

    The creator did it.

    The who is G-d. Genesis 1:1 starts with בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ When G-d began to create heaven and earth— There is no explanation as to His origin and nature. So, either you believe or you do not. There is nothing to falsify because, unlike science...

    The creator did it.

    Religion is concerned with the who; Science studies the how. There is no conflict between believing in the existence G-d and science.

    Picking And Choosing One's Way Through The Old Testament

    That is correct. A Gentile does not need to be be obedient to the commandments to have his or her name written in G-d’s book of life. All it takes is righteousness.

    The Bible Erroneously Says the Earth is Flat

    The belief during the Middle Ages that the earth is flat was strictly a European idea. There is no record of that belief in any other continent. It was the Church that taught the idea as a belief with Jerusalem at the center.

    Why is Islam so dangerous?

    The Muslims of Palestine, an area not a nation, were invited to join the the creation of the new nation of Israel. The country of Palestine was created at the same time as Israel. However, Arab propaganda told them that the Jews would kill them and that they should leave so as not to impede the...

    Science is a false God

    There is no conflict between science and belief in G-d. They are not mutually exclusive. That is because the existence of G-d is not studied by science. It does not study the “who”. Either you believe, or you do not.
