I'm not saying you should. I just thought you might interesting to read Lataster's views on nonreligious subjects.

You’ve been to Lataster’s websites?

Putting aside the question of Jesus for the moment, my understanding is that there are virtually no known existing records from that period of time from that region.

If you want to proselytize find a street corner somewhere. I will defend your right to hold to your beliefs. I will your right to express your beliefs as your beliefs.That is not what you have done here.

As I noted above, go to his forum profile page and you will find the link to the religious organization he heads up.

We need to designate who is to be the crotchety old person on which subforum.

Oops! Discussion not division.

Not everyone looks at a profile page. Might I suggest you copy the info there and put it in a post that shows up here. You should include the link you listed there for the church that you lead.

You responded to a poster who has no been on the board in just under a 11 years. If you were hoping for a further division with the poster you may be waiting for awhile.

@wil - You can’t have it both ways. You can’t say that Josephus describes….. and then say that he didn’t. Additionally, in the passage referenced it does not say that Jesus was called the Christ. It says he was the Christ. See, I can be a nitpicking crotchety old man too.

I would note that the word “yarmulke” is a Yiddish word and is not the prevalent term among Sephardic Jews. kippah/Kippot (pl) is a better chooce. Furthermore, a kippah is not mandatory as the head covering of choice. A baseball cap or other hat would satisfy the requirement. I have no...

Having discerned that you hold to a position that you cannot prove and that @Aupmanyav holds to a position that he cannot prove, nevertheless you seem intent on trying to convince him that he is wrong and that you are right. Might it not be better, and more in the spirit of an interfaith forum...

@TheLightWithin - The term “bread of shame” is, in fact, a kabbalistic term. Non-kabbalists do on occasion make mention of the term, but usually only to say that kabbalists call a certain set of feelings and reactions the bread of shame. The term has its own baggage. Discuss further?

@In_Christ_Alone - Welcome to the forum. A word of caution. Sometimes there is a very thin line separating discussion and proselytizing. This is an interfaith forum. Discussion is good. Attempts to proselytize are not.

Pardon my confusion, but how is this related to the topic of this thread?

I think you know the answers to your questions. You’re too savy not to.

@Vasu Devan - It is always such a pleasure when someone from the outside takes the opportunity to say such complimentary things regarding Jewish scripture, Jews and Judaism, all the while displaying such an incredible depth of knowledge about those subjects. I hope that down the line I will be...

If you had said “stout defence of Orthodox Judaism” or “traditionally observant” Judaism or something similar, that would be one thing, but as phrased you seem to be saying that liberal Jews cannot or will not offer stout defense of Judaism. As a rabbi aligned with the Reform movement in North...

@Waaka - Word for word what you have posted has appeared on other forums for a number of years. If you are not the original author you need to give proper attribution to whoever is the author. It is not only the right thing to do, it’s a rule here.

@Alif Balaam Yashin - Judaism does not advocate religious indoctrination. @wil - Nor does Judaism advocate what is your apparent position of leaving children totally to their own devices, to raise themselves without intervention of any kind, assuming that somehow without guidance, because you...
