That book you read around selectively, that you don't believe listening to, states:
You will be grabbing hold of the hem of a Rabbi asking us to teach you about the God of Abraham. (As you see Evangelists themselves doing today).
It says the 2 sticks will become one.
You forget the Bible teaches 2 Messiahs
the first failed Ben Joseph then the Shiloh Ben David who brings the fallen into the fold (2 sticks into one). That's the symbol on the Ark the 2 guardians. For you to not want to come to Shalem is to admit you are adversary the "will of God" (Creations great design).
No offence, pal, but your religion is just as irrational as ding's. Make no mistake, I think you're as loony as he is. I just think it's funny watching two religious zealots arguing about who's Invisible Magic Man in the Sky is cooler. We get a Muslim in here, and it'll be a trifecta.
The fact that you call the Judaic concept of G-d as a man in the sky proves you don't know what we teach and that you are as much a victim of the bastardized precepts as Ding or any other idol worshiper you like to make fun of.
1) you should always define the terms you are discussing least you make yourself foolish not comprehending that words can be shared but mean something different throughout cultures or sects or individuals within sects.
2)you should always want to enlighten people with truth, correction of error and better path then just bringing them down with you=crab bucket syndrom. In other words making fun of those you have nothing to bring to the table but kick the cripple (they are rationally logically crippled).
3)which brings us to what you are saying is that stability, progressing to completness & wholeness(evolution) is looney.
How is that rational and therefore aren't you also crippled? Therefore Watching you guys argue is like watching Cartman beat up on Timay, they are both handicap just in their own way.
Sources proving you wrong:
Isaiah 42:8 we can't pray to any image of anything physical- Exodus 20:3-7 and Deuteronomy 5:8-10
God is not a man nor form-(Isaiah 2:22, 14:13, I Samuel 15:29, Numbers 23:19, and Hosea 11:9, Deuteronomy 4:11-12 and the 13 major principles of the Jewish faith based on the Rambam's teaching of "ain lo demus haguf ve'ayno guf" -- that Hashem has no physical form.)
The Gemarah (Baba Batra 75) Tells us Jerusalem is named after G0D and is the place commemorating his name(description)& essence.
In Sefer D’varim (12:5, 11, 14, 18, 21; 14:23,24, 25; 15:20; 16:2, 6, 7, 11, 15, 16; 17:8, 10; 18:6; 26:2; 31:11).the place that I will choose to place My Name(the messenger of God shares this name and reflects this Essence). That is referring to YeruShalem because Sifri identifies the place which Hashem will choose (12:18) as “Yerushalayim”.
Shalem means completeness/wholeness thus describing the Essence to be all we could and should be aka evolve/progress.
YeruShalem would carry the name. (1 Kings 11:36 &
in dead sea scrolls: Words of the Archangel Michael scroll 4Q529, 6Q23)
