Judaism is more logical than Christianity.

I will now post my response. Showing modern Judaism is more logical than Christianity.Answers to the Problems The Promise to Abraham The Nation of Israel was restored on May 14, 1948. The new Nation gathered the persecuted exiles of Europe and the Middle East, literally absorbed 150% of its population within 30 years. According to the Israeli Department of Diaspora Affairs, Jewish immigration to Israel is growing each year, with the grow of Anti-Semitism. Judaism prays 3 times daily (Amidah Prayer) for a return of all exiles to the Promised Land. Regarding the lost tribes, we don't know what has become of them. They were absorbed into the Assyrian population, so they are likely mixed into the population of Kurds, Arabs, and Turks. Most likely the Kurds, being the Kurds hold many Jewish traditions that go beyond their recorded history. The Law of Moses The Law of Moses is truly what defines Judaism, it tells who is a Jew, who isn't. What you can and cannot eat. Yes, this Law does base itself off of having a Temple with sacrifices, the sacrifices are not the only means of implementing the Law. Regarding the Priests, many Jews can prove that they are the children of Levi, and more specifically Aaron. Everyday at the prayer service, those who qualify as Priest give the priestly benediction for the Nation of Israel. The original intention of the Law was to be kept forever, in some form. Which is has through the Kosher dietary laws, the laws of the Shabbat, and the Laws concerning the Nation of Israel.The Temple (Beit HaMikdash)The Temple will be rebuilt according to the Prophets (Ezekiel 40). When it will be rebuilt the Priestly duties will be returned and the suspended Mizvah will be brought back. The Temple in Jerusalem is still regarded as the Holiest site for Jews, and the Western Wall (Wailing Wall) of the Temple platform is were many Jews go to pray. The Presence of G-d is still on the Temple Mount, waiting on his home to be restored. Unlike what my opponent said, Jews are growing more anxious to rebuild the Temple. In the upcoming elections in Israel, the Bayit Yuhudi (Jewish Home) party is going to be the third largest party in the Knesset (Congress) of Israel, the largest issue for the Bayit Yuhudi is rebuild the Temple. The Temple will soon be rebuilt. The Throne of David (Bar David)Large numbers of Jews (roughly 250,000) can trace their ancestry to King David, through one of his sons. In fact the Rebbe, the founder of Chabad Chassidicsm could trace his ancestry to King David, and many thought he was the Masiach (Messiah) until he passed away. Most Israelis do not want a King at the moment, we are happy being the only democracy in the Middle East, but that is not to say that this would not change with Divine guidance. Sin and Exile While my opponent is correct, Jews living in the Promised Land does depend on how well we obey the Law, he is wrong that Judaism has no permanent answer to Sin. In the Torah (Law of Moses), three methods for wiping away sin were provided, the first and most important being Charity. Charity is mandated throughout the whole Torah, and even Jesus commanded it, because its role with the Prophets. The second way was prayer. Prayer was founded as a method when there was no Temple standing. The Third and oldest, but not most important way was sacrificing, the letting of innocent blood for ones sins. These is no longer applicable as the Temple is no longer standing. Israel will not sin once the Messiah comes because once the Messiah comes Jewish law is no longer in force, this is why Christians do not follow the Old Testament, they believe Jesus ended the Law. Conclusion My opponent raises some very good points with the Temple being destroyed and the failure of Israel to follow the Law of G-d, but this will all be solved once the Messiah comes. One man is a fix it all for Judaism. I admit there are flaws in Judaism, all religions have flaws, but Christianity's outweighs those of Judaism. Problems with Christianity Proof that Jesus had risenNo where outside of the New Testament is Jesus has said to have risen. None of the writers of the time mentioned it. Only a book written 50 years after his death says anything of it. A 50 year old hear tell description is not very reliable. All of the early followers of Jesus were in fact Jewish, as my opponent stated, but what my opponent stating about the other failed Messiah's movements dying out, that is not true. Karite Judaism is the movement which stems from the belief that Bar Koba will come back. Sound similar?The TrinityThe Trinity, the cornerstone of Christian belief, is one the largest problems in Christian theology. The Trinity affirms that Jesus was G-d in the flesh of man, and that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit make up one G-d. 1+1+1=3 isn't exactly going to get you a passing in math. The Trinity is based off the Mithraic Trinity of ancient Roman Paganism. The earliest Christians did not follow it, so why do modern ones? The Trinity was added by the Roman Emperor Constantine in 362 B.C.E. in hopes of converting the Pagans to Christianity and has no basis in either Testaments of the Bible. Christianity and SinI have already covered Judaism's view of sin. Christianity claims that Jesus died for our sins, yet no where in the Torah is there any mention of the Messiah dying for the sins of others. As Moses said "A son shall not die for the sins of the father, nor the father for the son, nor any man for another. Each shall pay for his own sins". ConclusionMy opponent states that Judaism does not solve problems that Christianity does, when clearly Judaism had these problems covered before the rise of Christianity. My opponent claims that there is no evidence for G-d to have intervened in the history of Judaism, yet the fact that Judaism still existed is a miracle of G-d, and that is not counting the history of other nations. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, just like the Torah says. The Jews are in Israel, just like the Torah said. Judaism has much more evidence than Christianity, showing Judaism is more logical.
