That would require interpretation of what you think were his words and according to you, you don't have an interpretation.

May I point out that I have never been under those laws and will not be judged accordingly.
BZZZZT!
Pascal's Wager. I'm so sorry, ICANT. Johnny, tell him what parting gifts he has!
Well, Bob, ICANT has won himself a lifetime of anguish in someone else's hell! Yes, that's right. After spending all of his life fighting against Satan and worshipping the Christian god, ICANT gets a reward of going straight to Hades for his hubris. He'll be sentenced to solve a series of puzzles for which the instructions can be read in many ways. Every attempt to glean more information will be met with "Since it would just be a waste of my time to tell you, I won't." Of course, every proposed solution will conflict with something in the contradictory instructions. This being for his continued insistence that those around him are unworthy of explanations.
But, he won't get hungry because he'll have an afterlife-time supply of Rice-a-Roni®, the San Francisco Treat.
You didn't really think that the god that truly exists was the Christian one, did you?

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

This post does not deserve a reply.
If you want me to reply you can disclose your sources.
I will not ask again as this is the third time.
God Bless,

"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."

Re: Re-So What Now
You know.. I find it amusing that the 'translation' that you are using that you claim is from Maimonides uses a word that didn't exist when he was alive.
Don't you think that is a bit .. dishonest? Yes, he pointed to that phrase as one of the laws.. but.. what did he actually say it means?
Where does he discuss the meaning of Toevah?

I did. The fact that you now need to look them up on your own is not a concern of mine.

And for the third time, I have already told you what they were. Are you incapable of doing your own homework? You are referring to Orthdox interpretations. I'm referring to pretty much every other Jewish interpretation (Conservative, Reform, Reconstructionist). I've given you a specific convention to look at.
Now, the point is not to say with any sort of "authority" that the Orthodox are wrong and one of the others are right. It is simply to point out that there are different interpretations of the text and what it means.
Who are you to say which one is right? Since when did you become able to speak for god?
