Re: August 1, Genesis.
I don't see that Genesis didn't WANT us to have all the answers, but it is more likely they got lost or were never remembered at the end of an oral tradition.
no. i agree. i was discussing what christianity was through various periods. and technically, christianity is a mystery religion. but it's really not important.
Jewish people are not interested in knowing God through Jesus, and it is time I knew how THEY picture God.
that's a very good attitude. i'd recommend a reformed synagogue. just because. it's a good place to start and it'll be really different from your orthodox upbringing. go for a few weeks and then look into a serious bible study. i have no idea what you'll find. i've not made that step yet. after that, start reading theses and stuff on your own. but i'd really say it's best to get a good look at how their brains work before diving in with your own ideas.

Re: Jenna Sis
People who are nave cast judgments on Muslims. Nowhere does the Jewish God tell anyone Ishmael and his descendants are infidels and command for them to be terrorized and murdered at any cost. People suck. No, I’m sorry . religion sucks. Epiphany, people trying to practice religion suck (emphasis on trying). Oh wait, that’s no epiphany, Jesus said something along those lines a long time ago (He was a bit more tactful though). God doesn’t express they should be treated differently than anybody else. Granted, he does call him a jackass.
i have never asserted that god said any of it. but nonetheless, it sounds precisely like those little stories that are later followed with the total annihilation of a given group. and, surprise, this story is followed by immense interstate strife and killing.
Or ”cause he spunked on the ground?
if that were the case, it would have said that. but it didn't. it said
he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother.
in order not to give offspring to his brother. that means that god punished him because he wouldn't give his brother an heir.
you really think he's the only man in the whole old testament who ever jizzed on the floor? you really think that if he'd caught it in a tissue and flushed it god would have spared him?
