My opponent is wrong

""Do you believe that non-believers are going to hell?" - Anyone who worships idolatry or denies G-d has a place reserved for him in Hell. You are an idol worshiper, and so this would apply to you (unfortunately)." I am not an idol worshiper, so your answer is a yes. ""Is G-d a male according to you?" - Extremely chilidish, silly, and stupid question. G-d is formless, beyond all properties of matter, and cannot be compared to anything in this world. It is needess to say that he is neither a male nor a female. " No, okay. "How do you think wives should be treated" - There is an obligation for every Jewish man to respect his wife. Say you have a man and his wife in a hotel room with only one mattress, the man should sleep on the floor and let his wife sleep on the mattress. " Respectfully, ok, good answer. ""How many times a day do you pray?" - In Judaism, the rule is to pray 3 times a day. Once in the morning, then in the afternoon, and finally in the evening." 3, good. "Do you believe that you are obligated to do good deeds?" - We are obligated to do everything that the Torah commands us to." Hmm, yes/no, interesting. "Do you believe in Genies?" - No. " No, good. "Do you believe that women should cover their hair?" - Only married women. However, it is praiseworthy for an unmarried woman to cover her hair, even though she has no obligation to do so." Yes, ok, interesting. "Do you think it is OK to drink alcohol?" - It is extremely unrecommended to drink alcohol, except on Shabbat and on the holidays. However, there is no official halacha against drinking per se. While the Sages discourage it, they never prohibited it." Yes, Good, the reason I asked you those questions was because I was suspicious of you being a Muslim, considering your doctrines, if you were a Muslim, your answers would be as follows; Yes; yes; they are their husband"s property; 5; no; yes; no, If you were a Jew you would answer this: No; No; Respectfully; 3; Yes; No; Yes Your answers were this: Yes; No; Respectfully; 3; Yes/No; No; Yes; Yes. So your doctrines are 68.75% Jewish, 31.25% Islamic, confirmed, so you are not a Muslim, you are just a Jew with some BAD doctrines "YOUR DENYING THREE EVANGELICALS: It seems that the Sabbath issue has been resolved. Nevertheless, we still have some other issues here to resolve. How can you say that three of your most authentic and respected books are all flawed? If they are flawed, how can you rely on them? If you can't rely on them, why did you not omit them from your canon? And why is the Gospel of John different from the rest? It is full of errors also. John is also an amusing book, because of its sheer obsurdities, for example: 1. Jesus' gross disrespect for his mother. See 2:4, which reads, "Woman, what does that have to do with me!?" - While his poor mother was just making an innocent point. 2. Jesus' temper tantrum recorded in 2:15 which reads: "And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables" " This was a very simple mistranslation; you do not consider it disrespectful to say "Hey man that was cool" or something like that when referring to a man eh? How is this different, well there are sexist jerkoffs who talk to their wife/ mother like that, hence we assume it is sexist, and as you will note, no one who is not a chauvinistic jerk refers to their wife/ mother that way. But if you actually look at the Greek definition, the word was guna, which was used to refer to your mother/ wife/ sister/ etc. So the correct translation would read: "What does that have to do with me mom?" Also, Jesus"s "temper tantrum" as you call it, was not actually a temper tantrum, there was a bunch of swindlers, and he chased them out. What he did was 100% correct, and justified. But I could debate you on this topic too. "2 YOUR ATTACK AGAINST MOSES: This is a particularly complicated issue due to your colossal misunderstanding of scripture and the way the world works in general. Hopefully, I will succeed in pointing out what a confused individual you are by displaying your mass ignorance of scripture, and lack of logical reasoning in general. Before we begin, I'd first like to illuminate the fact that we only know of the prophets who lived before Moses BECAUSE Moses wrote about them in the Torah, and for no other reason. He wrote about their deeds, and he also wrote about his deeds. Since he is completely honest and god fearing, who never wrote even one word according to his opinion, he wrote the truth about himself, and his sins, unlike Jesus, about whom no sin is ever [intentionally] recorded, and the same with Muhammad, because these are books of lies that like to cover up everything." There is no record of Jesus"s sins because there are none, he"s the messiah and hence incapable of sin, but we can debate about that in another debate, which I would be happy to debate you on, but in another debate. Anyway, there is a big difference between Jesus and Mohammed, in fact, these guys were basically polar opposites, and you will not find one flaw with the teachings of Jesus, not the epistles, but Jesus. Whereas the unholy Qur"an contains many evil doctrines, each illustrated in this Article: https://docs.google.com... "Each and every letter of the Torah is from the mouth of G-d by the hand of Moses. To say that Moses was a liar, and bringing proofs for this from Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, or Deuteronomy is extremely hypocritical to no extent, since he himself wrote these books. Please awaken from your slumber of diluteness. And about him misquoting G-d, he never did so. G-d said to Moses to tell Pharaoh to let them go so that they can serve him. Moses said to let them go, so that they can serve him, although he said it in a bit more detail. "Celebrate a festival" refers to the service and "in the desert" refers to the actual Pharaoh letting Moses go part. Again, I'd like to point out that this was all written by Moses, in case you forgot. As for his hitting the rock, I explained above that he was punished for that by not being allowed to enter the land of Israel. As for G-d almost killing him, I admit I was wrong on that one. But we can't know for sure what was going on there, for there are many mysteries of the Torah. As for the rock/delayed circumcision somehow being a contradiction, remember that the event with the rock took place much later. Get your history straight. As for the Sabbath being worse than murder, there is no contradiction between that and pikuach nefesh. Pikuach nefesh is a unique halacha, which annuls ALL mitzvot, not just the Sabbath, with the exceptions of idolatry, sexcrimes, and murder. There is no connection between pikuach nefesh and Shabbat. It just happens to override Shabbat, as it does with all the other mitzvot, other than the 3 mentioned above. Shabbat desecration is still worse than murder, nonetheless. Again, I'd like to remind you that these 5 books were all written by Moses, so to use them to criticize them is very stupid." Alright first off, the pikuach nefesh states that human life is above the Sabbath, hence violating human life (murder) is worse than violating the Sabbath. Now, I established, that the bible refers to murder far more times than the Sabbath; even assuming that there really is 14 times that the Talmud mentions the Sabbath. Here are 15 verses that establish murder as a sin: Genesis 4:10-12 (1) Genesis 9:5-6 (2) Exodus 20:13 (3) Exodus 21:12-14 (4) Leviticus 24:17 (5) Numbers 35:16-1 (6) Deuteronomy 4:41-44 (7) Deuteronomy 5:17 (8) Deuteronomy 17:6 (9) Deuteronomy 19:5 (10) Deuteronomy 19:11-12 (11) Proverbs 1:11 (12) Proverbs 1:16 (13) Proverbs 6:17 (14) Proverbs 28:17 (15) So yes, murder is far worse than desecrating the Sabbath, which Jesus never did, regardless, I am more than willing to have a separate debate concerning murder being worse than the Sabbath. "MOSES WAS THE ONLY WITNESS?: First, you imply that the G-d told people to write the Bible but genuinely allowed them to screw it up here and there. This comes from your lack of Jewish education. Each and every word of the tanach is inspired by G-d. G-d told people EXACTLY what to write, and they wrote EXACTLY what they heard. They were not told "make up your own story", please get that out of your head. Second, the issue of Moses being the only witness is just such an utterly ridiculous claim that it makes me want to puke. You're so ignorant of scripture, it is beyond me how you consider yourself knowledgeable in the Bible. When G-d first came to Moses and told him to speak to the people, he had doubts, and said "They won't believe me!", so instead of getting angry at Moses, G-d agreed, and gave him signs. Still, these signs were not enough to prove that G-d was with him, for they could have been the works of the black magics. And that is where the chapters of 19-20 Exodus comes in, where G-d speaks PUBLICLY to EVERYONE in order to put down the claims that Moses was making it all up. Therefore, you can't say he was the only witness. ALL OF ISRAEL witnessed G-d on Sinai. Also, I'd like to point out another mistake you made in this regard: G-d only uttered the first two of the commandments. The rest of them were given by Moses. The original plan was for G-d to tell the people all of the commandments, but they weren't able to tolerate it, so the plan changed after the second commandment. Before we close the Moses issue, I'd like to remind you one more time: Any crimes which appear to have been performed by Moses in the Torah cannot be used against him, for he wrote it. Furthermore, Moses is the founding father of all tradition. He restored the forgotten knowledge of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The books of the later prophets are only branches from his original and authentic work, the Holy Torah." You are not really responding to my argument, how are we to know that these commandments (the 613 commandments) really came from God or if Moses was just making a few up. Also, the Talmud was not written by Moses OK, but I will be more than happy to have a separate debate with you about Moses not writing the Talmud, I don"t have enough rounds to establish this. EVERYONE IS A REPRESENTATIVE OF G-D?: Only the Jews represent G-d. Christians represent their selfish selves. As I said above, no desecration of G-d's name has ever been greater than that caused by the Christians. If you really think of yourself as a representative of G-d, you have to do some research on your history. Christians, Hindus, Pastafarians, and the like, are all pagans who do not represent G-d in the slightest. They represent their idols, their false perverted ideas of what G-d is. No, people such as Sikhs, Jews, and Christians represent God, because they supposedly worship God. Now, let"s look at the definition of pagan: "Someone holding religious beliefs aside from major world religions, especially polytheism" Yeah, Christianity does not match this, in fact it is THE biggest religion, and, we are not polytheists, well, a lot of Christians believe in the Trinity, which is kind of polytheism, Hindu"s are polytheists, and Pastafarians, eh, well they are Monotheists, except they are not theists, they are pastaists, so they are not polytheists, because they are neither poly, nor are they theists, they are monopastaists. Also, Christians do not worship idols, I do not know where you got this idea from. VIOLENT CHRISTIANS: Baal worship in Israel took place thousands of years ago. Christian violence has always been present, since the founding of their cult, to the Crusades, and even recently. The KKK, Nazi Germany, and other evil groups all identified themselves as Christians, which cannot be compared to the Jews who sinned long ago. And to the best of my knowledge, there is no desire to kill and torture people for no reason, but there WAS a desire to worship idols. In two ways, you're wrong. And also, the Yaquis did follow a false god, which makes them fall under the category of heathens. There is no difference between a heathen and an idol worshiper whatsoever, it is just a different way of living in the way of paganism. All the same, like two crayons of different color. First, there is no "Christian cult", unless you are referring to the Catholic Church, which was yes, a cult, but not a Christian cult. The Catholic Church had issues because their mission statement was "Go forth and Conquer and to conquer", which was soley satanic, you won"t find in in the New Testament. The crusades were not violent, well, not for no reason, they fought against the Muslims to reclaim the promise land from them. Now, the KKK is not Christians OK, their group is held together by racism, not Christianity, but racism, and these racists try to pass themselves off as Christians. The truth is, they are not, racism is condemned in Christianity, right here in James Chapter 2, you should read it thoroughly, then make judgements about Christianity. Nazi Germany, I knew you would bring this one up, Nazi Germany was not Christian, Hitler knew that his evil empire could not contain Christianity because it is a religion of peace, well, if you obey it that is. So he invented his own religion, he revived the Old Germanic Gods and made Germanic Paganism the new state religion. Nazi German wad pagan, not Christian. You are right, a lot of evil was done by people claiming to be Christians, but were not actual Christians. Finally, the Yaqui"s did not worship a false God, they worshiped "the great spirit", which was, God. If you want to debate the Great Spirit being god, I would be happy to challenge you to another debate, separately. Shalom. (PS I apologize for any grammar mistakes, or if I missed anything.
