Explain to me what is "self righteous" about standing firm on His Word. The reason the world is in such an immoral state today is because of week kneed professors of righteousness who water down His Word and love to have their ears tickled. I pray you are not one of those. Because, if you are I feel sorry for you. Blessings and Shalom

Ali, my comment to you at #4 was overly harsh and out of line. I apologize.

I looked for the meaning of buggery . You think that your beliefs are not outdated ? in French there is a good saying : heureux les simples d'esprit , le royaune des cieux leur appartient . I don't need a "god" to have some gentle loving kindness for my fellow men and women .
36. Ora , 28 . You were always very "naive" ,
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.24.12)
not only about me . Not a reproach of course . But did'nt you know that i do not believe in a "G-d" [ for you ! ] That for me this idea is inexisting ? I NEVER hid my ideas ! Sorry if i hurt you , Naive and dreaming people can be very gentle , but are'nt very realistic . I'm more "avec mes pieds sur terre" Not idealist regarding beliefs .
37. Ora , 28 . My 26 was only related to thev term
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.24.12)
"buggery" that Sarita used instead of sodomy . Buggery can also mean relations with animals , bestiality . berk . , but we are'nt talking about this . I will never condemn relations between two ADULT CONSENTING people . It's their choice . I will defend their right to have the same rights as hetero couples . I will defend their right to get married in some way . But let me tell you , i prefer , et de loin , a woman .
38. @33 U r self righteous because u think u r the 1 who knows..
Julie @17 ,   Israel   (06.24.12)
how to best interpret G-d's words. I don't think you can claim that right exclusively onto your self. David, I have a degrees in Judaic Studies, Tanack and Jewish Thought from the Hebrew University and still I would never ever claim to know what His words are or whether or not I fully understand His words without referring to other Hebraic texts such as for example the Oral Tradition (The Talmud). Do you know what the Talmud is? Do you know how the Talmud is used in understanding and interpreting the Tanack?

I'm a Christian Zionist. You say God is either or He/She. I read the Bible everyday (OT & NT)! You are a godless heathen; I say that with sadness. You are lost and dead in your sins, as are your Rabbis. Jesus' (hence Father: thus, God is a masculine); so, your assumption that He is also she, tells me all I need to know where you're mentally and spiritually on the Word of God. The only Jews saved are the Messianic Jews; you need to seek them out and learn the Truth that is only found in Jesus Christ (the Son of God; God himself in human form)--period!!! As Christ said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one gets to the Father but by me." Also, "There is no other name, whereby one can be saved." Without Christ you will die by the Law, and go to Hell! May God have mercy on your lost soul!
40. Jake , you believe in the son of a virgin ???
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.24.12)
But as you say that you are a Zionist , i forgive your backwards belief in this jesus .
41. Jake Jake Jake on your head Shemot 22:22-24
Jew with Cojones ,   Israel   (06.24.12)
I will quote Shakespeare's "much ado about nothing" "In the time and place where it is appropriate we will remember that you are an A$$." You are an A$$ because every Jew knows that G-d has a feminine and masculine aspect! How dare you come up into this Jewish place and tell all of us what and how to believe! How dare you tell us what is right to believe and what isn't! How dare you call yourself a Zionist when all you want is the destruction of the Jewish people? Some of us are orphans and some of us are widows and some of us remember that we were strangers in a strange land....so because you have spoken out of turn and insulted the Jews of Israel, the children of G-d. My answer to you is Shemot (Exodus) 22: 22-24 Go read it and may it be your portion soon!
42. Jake , as a SECULAR Atheist Jew
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.24.12)
I'm also offended when you bark that all our Rabbanim are dead and lost . How do you dare to say this HERE , in front of us , Jews , Believers and seculars . Stay in your hell , you don't deserve more . Maybe that one day you will become a Human being .
43. #38 Julie
DavidR ,   USA   (06.24.12)
Your degree only shows that you are educated by men. That is also called brainwashing. Yes I am very familiar with Torah Sh'be'al peh. I know how the Talmud claims to be proper interpretation. But, I don't agree. I believe it to be traditions of men and not the Word of HaShem! Do you know what a Karaite is? You have your belief and I have mine. I am no more self righteous than you. Shalom Rav Julie.
44. Jake & Charles
Belinda ,   Texas, USA   (06.24.12)
Jake, I know of nobody that ever got saved or more importantly STAYED saved by a Christians over zealous attempt to cram Jesus down their throat! It's a relationship built on love, remember? Charles, I'm SO sorry you were offended by Jake's over zealous attempts. He was wrong in doing this! As Christians, at least older Christians, we understandand believe that while Jesus is the son of God & Savior, we also understand & believe that God is also sovereign & DOES NOT need our help to save anyone!! Shalom Charles.
45. @Belinda thank u 4 ur kind comments @14 & 44
Jew with Cojones ,   Israel   (06.25.12)
I can definitely respect you not only for what you say but for how you say it! Well done pretty lady in Texas! Well done!
46. To #40!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (06.25.12)
You have no idea what a Christian Zionist is, so I won't even comment on something you know nothing about, through ignorance of your own. However, may God bless you and yours. Oh, yeah...read a little more: knowledge is a great thing! God bless, Israel!
47. To #41!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (06.25.12)
First of all, I read your passage. How am I afflicting you when I'm just trying to enlighten you? Like most people who don't study their Bibles, you take things out of context to fit your weak argument (agenda). In regards to the feminine and masculine aspect of God, that's man's own thought process and interpretation. Jesus Christ was born unto the virgin Mary (Isaiah 7:14/Math. 1:23-Genesis 3:15/ (Christ is that promised seed). Jesus Christ called God His Father...and God called Him his Son. So, I don't know where you're from, but that sounds masculine to me. However, no amount reasoning will work for you or your Rabbis', because of the simple fact of you don't have the full picture, as it relates to scripture in its totality. Yes, most Jews are unsaved and lost; but, as God promised Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and King David, He would save a small remnant, of Jews, during the "Time of Jacob's Trouble (Jeremiah 30:7), also known as the Tribulation in the book of Revelation. You need to seek out Messianic Jews so they can get you saved with the knowledge of Jesus Christ--the promised Messiah! Oh, yeah...FYI: A Christian Zionist is one who believes in Jesus Christ, and the right of the Jews' to have their own land as promised in the Abrahamic Covenant. It's that simple! God bless, Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem!
48. To: Jake Stone
Taz Man ,   USA   (06.25.12)
Jake: Good day...my Christian brother! You are right; but, no amount of reasoning will open their blind eyes. That will come at the end of the Great Tribulation at Jesus Christ's 2nd Coming, when they, as a whole, will finally call on the name of the Lord. They will recognize whom they had pierced at His crucifixion. Some Jews. thank God, are saved! But the promised remnant (during the Tribulation) is for Christ to bring to salvation. I, like you, pray for them; that's all we can do. At the end 2/3 die; thus, the small remnant promised to find salvation from our returning Lord and Savior. God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem!
49. What we stupid Jews did was flush out the Christians TBers;
The Keepers ,   Jerusalem Zoo ;-)   (06.25.12)
particularly those Christians being vague and attempting to mascarade as Jews. Now we have added your names to our lists and we will be watching. THAT IS ALL and to the team members: High Five, V-I-C-T-O-R-Y Dance!
50. jake , 46 . If it's your [ inexisting ] god who has to
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.25.12)
bless me , i can wait ad eternum . Open your eyes , believer in the son of a virgin and a god . Poor guy , i pity you .
51. Belinda , tx .
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.25.12)
Everyone can believe in what he wants , from there to try to impose his/her views on others , there is a margin NOBODY should pass . And if it's done on a virulent way , with disgusting words , it only shows the weakness of his/her beliefs . It brings only the opposite effect , people will distance themselve from such "believers" and react in the same way , with the same harsh words he/she deserves . I had very good Catholic friends , they never talked about their belief , about jesus and so . They were profound believers , but also SMART .
52. #51 Charles
Belinda ,   Texas, USA   (06.25.12)
That was exactly my point. If a person is not open to hearing about anothers beliefs & it's forced upon them anyway, it only serves to make them want nothing more than to get them to shut up but also serves to give that person a preconceived idea that ALL people with that faith are the same way. I felt his statements to you were truly offensive and I felt his arrogance and condescending attitude was appalling. I honestly just wanted to apologize to you for his behavior. It was embarrassing to me as a Christian. Again, Charles, I am sorry you were offended, He was completely out of line.
53. Talk about abomination!
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (06.25.12)
To talk backers who think G-d condemns gay people and therefore it is okay for people to treat them as less than human I ask you what does G-d say about adulterers? Or about people who break Shabbat? Or about presuming to speak for G-d? All capital crimes under religious law. For those who think gay is a choice I ask when did you choose your sexual orientation? I grew up and knew I liked women. How can I condemn or belittle someone who gee up liking the same sex? I didn't choose I presume they didn't either. For those who think that are too bigoted to understand these things I say I pity your miserable lives. You have to remain ignorant and frankly less of a person than any gay person I've ever met. Gay people forbthe most part are open and accepting of others. They have learned tolerance that only a confrontation with your maker will bring you. People like MK Michaeli who make such appalling statements while in power disgust me. I hope she loses her seat. Better still I hope she spends 6 months working with the Agudah or Open House. Lastly for those of you in other countries Ann Landers and Dear Abbey said it best: MYOB. Do NOT even presume you know what is best for my country. Want to comment? Move here fight in the IDF pay taxes. Otherwise you are out of line.
54. #53 Daniel
Belinda ,   Texas, USA   (06.25.12)
Wow Daniel, your comments are as arrogant and offensive as Jake's! Chill out!
55. Belinda , no need for you to apologise
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.26.12)
because of what this guy said . I answer those kind of people in the same way , the tongue they understand . Somewhere in the Torah , G-d said to Moshe : go and talk to all the people , to everyone in his tongue . That's what i'm doing too .
56. 55 Charles,where in the Tora?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.26.12)
I did not find that.
57. 56 , Ora , i said "somewhere" because i don't remember
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (06.27.12)
where it was . If not in the tora , see other parts of tanach . I remember only that G-d said : talk to everyone in his tongue , it can even be that it was not to Moshe that it was said , but it was said .
58. Gays
Edouard ,   Montreal Canada   (07.06.12)
I can't believe all this comments No 1 I am not gay No 2 being gay is not an abomination No3 people don't chose to become gay No4 gay can be good or bad in anything like anybody No 5 why are people so afraid of gays it is NOT contagious No 6 they contribution to the artistic,fashion,decoration,comfort,literature,Ect,Ect,Ect is amazing in proportion They have right to get maried and to have kids like anybody Finally please stop your phobias and axecpt them for what they are just people like you and me no more no less
