im way passed you brother,because people have been lied too and really not worth me sharing truth when the people are and cannot get out the box,really sadden me,and scares me to see so many mislead by folklore bullshit.Keep your made up european bullshit to yourself it has no voice here.Okay.but jesus never mattered.And for Jews Worship per tribe varied.It's funny how some minor things can have a big impact. On a messageboard I used to be on, was a fellow who was quite a troll...but he and I kind of got a long...because once you realize someone is trolling...you can share humor and play together. He came off as a an uber conservative anti-homo etc etc. In real life, he could have been my little brother...but he said, he lived by the commandment - love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as you would yourself (or something like that) - he believed in equal rights for homosexuals, but a civil marriage....nothing like his troll persona.
All in all - isn't it a good thing? "love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as you would yourself"? If we truly did this, wouldn't the world be a better place? THAT is why I like Jesus...not because of salvation, or heaven or hell (because I don't want to go anywhere my dogs aren't) but because we can make a better life here and now by being better people. That is also why I like Jews - because (if I understand it right) - it's THIS life NOW that counts - not some nebulous afterlife. Make the best of it! Treat people well! Treat the earth like the mother it is, and leave something for your children.
Jesus did not author the phrase "Love God with all your heart..." etc etc----It is part of a prayer that jews have been saying for a long time---since before Jesus was born----and the "love your neighbor as your self" thing comes from Hillel---who died either shortly before or shortly after Jesus was born----and very much quoted person in the time of Jesus---and since---by some people
Jesus is important to many people-----you know nothing about Judaism ----but Jesus did. Of course you know nothing about Jesus either
