from an objective perspective judaism is the most believable religion in the world

Thank you Mr. con for taking on this debate and shalom (peace) to you and to the whole world. i must preface my argument by saying that when i say Judaism i mean orthodox Judaism regardless which group in orthodoxy we all accept the authority of the bible and the Talmud, i definitely don't mean reform Judaism which doesn't even believe g-d gave the torah (therefore i don't even consider it a religion) and conservative Judaism also not, they interpret the torah without regard for the traditions like the Talmud (and both of these began in the last 200 years) Now down to the issues your first argument is a theological one assuming that g-d is just and loving, and Judaism does say that, Exodus 34:6-7, "Why God chooses only small tiny group over the entire humanity and salvation only for the jews?..Why would g-d do such a thing neglecting all nations except Jews".As opposed to Islam which is for all mankind. (I'll tell you a secret not only Islam almost every religion believes that their religion is for all mankind not for a few individuals.) There is not a single orthodox Jew who will tell you that non-Jews don't have a share in the world to come on the contrary it says Clearly in the Talmud that righteous non-jews go to heaven (tractate Sanhedrin 90a and page 105a and more) so salvation for only the Jews is simply not true. Why would g-d do such a thing well for starters what is unjust about having an extra special relationship with the Jewish people does it diminish someone else"s connection to g-d, when you marry someone does it mean you have no friends anymore the unique position of the Jewish people in no way makes anyone inferior everyone was created in the image of g-d it's just that being Jewish is a very special thing (a random quote for those who are not familiar Deuteronomy 7:6-7 "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth It was not because you were more in number than any other people that the LORD set his love on you and chose you, for you are the fewest of all peoples, but it is because the LORD loves you and is keeping the oath that he swore to your fathers, that the LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt." Secondly what type of question is that, you as a Muslim don't believe there was ever a time that g-d made the Jews special and unique don't you know that all the prophets down from Moses are all Jewish (of course we Jews don't believe Jesus was a prophet.) and you tell me, i think i read in the Koran that Jews have to keep Shabbat which implies that Jews do have laws only for them. Your disturbed by the whole conversion thing but my friend, you could and should remain a non-jew and be close to g-d (that"s why we discourage conversion) converting to Judaism is being transformed into g-ds treasure and beloved. And a person converting has to be sure he's ready for the burden (but privilege) of being a Jew and that"s why converting any other way other than what"s prescribed by the torah is a joke. "enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in God" a beautiful sentiment the only question is what's right and wrong. Moving along "you talked about that nation of isreal they had experienced many greater miracles than other religions, so this makes more believable...its a logical fallacy. there are many miracles that greater of the miracles of Moses (pbuh), in christainty or Islam (although we believe too in Moses as a prophet)". You obviously didn't read my argument i didn't say it was greater (for g-d no miracle is hard) i said it was in a more public setting in the presence of hundreds of thousands of people whereas you as a Muslim accept on faith alone that Mohamed wasn't a charlatan or a mad man. moving along when i mentioned the 613 commandments i wasn't trying to prove Judaism true, commandments doesn't prove anything i was just pointing out that besides for how ridiculous it would be to tell a nation such a story and they would believe it furthermore this story comes with hundreds of commandments and obligations and it's not just a story to celebrate the anniversary every year or something. "Pro-"i find it difficult to believe that g-d would demand belief and faith (with the threat of eternal damnation in most religions)" first of all, Jewish ideas about the afterlife are many, there is no unanimously agreement what will happen, some say that the wicked are utterly destroyed and cease to exist after a while in hell, others believe in eternal damnation. so its the same for you." You misunderstood what i wrote i wasn"t proving anything form the eternal damnation thing that was just an aside of how important supposedly religion is to g-d, my argument over there begins after the parentheses. "you claim God must come and tell to jews himself.well,God doesnt shouts in the sky to tell you something. his work goes through the prophets of God." The more i read the more it seems to me that you haven't even read my argument, boy did g-d shout out the first time. "the gap years of the oldest manuscripts of Moses (pbuh) and Moses himself are many many years. so you have to prove that the Torah (of today) is the same thing as the Torah of Moses(pbuh). we know today, some of the text were changed,distorted, removed or added to the text of what we are reading today and this is a fact." What for is fact for some is for others fiction. A few fun facts about a torah scroll if it's missing a letter or has an extra letter it's not kosher we just stop reading it and put it away, the Yemenite Jews who had been separated from rest of the Jewish people for about 2,000 years were airlifted in 1949 to the holy land of Israel their torah scrolls are exact to the letter as our torah scrolls,theres been a raging debate now about 500 years regarding a certain word whether it's with an alef or a hei so some are like this and some like this. I could go on and on but this is your faith and I"m fine with that. "About god changing his mind, God doesnt changed his mind, there was only one message - to worshhip the only true God and obey him, but people at every age distorted their scriptures and Quran is the last revelation and Mohhamed (pbuh) is the seal of the prophets of God." I'm glad to see we agree about something that g-d doesn't change his mind i quote you the bible Numbers 23:19 God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it? end quote. I believing in Judaism disagree with you about what it means to obey g-d Judaism believes that to obey for a Jew means to keep the 613 commandments (it's not as hard as it sounds) and for a non-jew it means to live a upright moral, and ethical (spiritual would be even greater)life based on principles called the seven noahite laws which have many details but in short 1.dont commit adultery 2.don't murder 3.no idolatry (one g-d) 4.blasphemy (respect g-d) 5.stealing 6.not eating a limb that was taken from the animal when it was alive 7.set up courts of justice in every society (this world is not a jungle). Again shalom and only blessings.
