JFJ Forums

First let me say hello to you all. I an new to this site and have been reading some of the posts. Glad to have found you. I am not Jewish, but I am a born again Christian.

I have been a part of a Jewish Forum for a while. These are orthodox and mainly Reform Jews. I have made some friends there, but I am also learning quite a bit. I was really ignorant. I still am, but I am trying to learn.

I went there because I wanted to connect with some individuals from Israel to try and get a feel for what it is like over there. I hope to go there in a humanitarian capacity at some point.

I was told about the thirteen principles and the 3rd one which states
G-d cannot come in the form of a man.

Can someone who is Jewish and knows the Torah and Tanuch please tell me what is the answer for this. How do you respond to that?

The third first five principals of faith directly deal with God:

1) God exists
2) God is one (and there is no other)
3) God can not be represented by any physical thing, a person, and object, or a symbol
4) God is eternal. There never was anything as powerful as God, and there never will be.
5) Only to God may one afford prayer.

(2) and (3) and (5) may conflict with Christianity.

  What about the Pillar of Fire?  What about the Pillar of Cloud?

  What about the burning bush? ...I am the G-D of your father, the G-D of Abraham, the G-D of Isaac and Jacob.

Did we not cast 3 men bound into the midst of the fire?  
   Lo, I see 4 men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the 4th is like the SON of G-D.  DAN 3:24-25

RayBurghen, that post was right on target.  People refuse to learn history and that is why they keep making the same stupid mistakes. Even the rock that follow the Hebrew children was God. sheesh, read the bible people and leave traditions and doctrines of men with the devil where they belong.

What a nutjob.
This man was a carnal minded fool. He was one of the many who thought themselves to be a prophet and if you read his works, you will see him for what he was if you have the Spirit of God abiding in you. He is a spirit of anti-christ and my advise is to stay as far away as possible. We are to follow Christ and His teachings, not some knot-head with an over inflated ego complex.

Then why don't you worship bushes and pillars of fire?

Sometimes the accurate way to describe something is by what it isn't then what it is.

   MASTERHOMER SAYS:

  "Then why don't you worship bushes and pillars of fire?"

So, as the Holy Spirit says:

  "TODAY, If you hear his voice,
      do not harden your hearts
    as you did in the rebellion,
      during the time of testing in
                   the desert,
   where your fathers tested and
                    tried me
      and for 40 years saw what
                    I did.
  That is why I was angry with that
                    generation,
      and I said, 'Their hearts are always
                    going astray,
    and they have not known my ways.'
   So I declared on oath in my anger,
      'They shall never enter my rest.'"

Amen;  G-D INDEED!

"They all ate the same spiritual food
    and drank the same spiritual drink;
  for they drank from the spiritual rock
    that accompanied them, and that
  rock was Christ."
  l COR 10:3-4

  This is the one who came by water and blood - Jesus Christ. (without the shedding of blood, there is no remission of sins.)

G-D has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of G-D does not have life.
l JN 5:11

The Apostle Paul said: Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of  which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of G-D, which he bought with his own blood.  ACTS 20:28

...G-D's household, which is the church of the living G-D, the pillar and foundation of the truth. Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great:
   G-D appeared in a body,
    was vindicated by the Spirit,
   was seen by angels,
     was preached among the
               nations,
   was believed on in the world,
     was taken up in glory.
        l TIM  3:15,16

The Israelites violated God's most important statement. Yet, the Israelites found their way to Israel. God never broke his promise. Why should we break ours?

"Man learns from history only that he learns nothing from history!"

Shalom.
