Anti-Semitism has become so ridiculous that if Moses [or even God himself] was to come back to the Earth, he would promptly be jailed for spreading anti-Semitic hate speech

God's Law (Torah) records the following words; which by modern Jewish standards would be considered criminal and anti-Semitic hate speech: " Ye have been rebellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you... For I know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves... because ye will do evil in the sight of the Lord.... they are a perverse and crooked generation. Do ye thus requite the Lord, O foolish people and unwise?... They provoked Him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to God... And when the Lord saw it, He abhorred them... And He said, 'I will hide my face from them... for they are a very froward generation'... I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. For a fire is kindled in mine anger... I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them. They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust" - Deut. 9: 24, 31: 29, 32: 5-6, & 16-24

 

 

Is God a man?

Hebrew Scripture says: “God is no man... ”- Numbers 23: 19. Thus, whenever the Bible gives any human attributes to the God of Abraham [that He speaks, that he rests, that He repents, that he gets angry, that He is jealous, that he keeps grudges, that he has hands or feet, etc], it is either speaking in an allegorical fashion, or making reference to someone [or something] finite that speaks or does God’s bidding [a law of nature, an angel, a prophet, a messenger, etc].
The Hebrew Bible also hints at the idea that the God of Abraham has an independent existence [as He doesn’t exist within anything else], so that the existence of everything else (ideas, morality, consciousness, time, space, matter, energy, life, death, good, evil, etc) is just a sub-set of God’s own existence.
In other words, the God worshiped by Abraham isn’t a physical being, but rather “the infinite Place” containing everything else; the sentient and infinite Realm where everything else is happening; a sort of Supremely intelligent “Warehouse” were all things [past, present, and future] are stored until it’s use is required. And since this God doesn’t really have physical attributes, He chooses to speak thru parables, so that we might at least remotely understand His ways.
Consider the following: God’s Law tells the Israelites that, if a man abuses the orphan and the widow, God’s anger will kindle, and He will kill such man, letting his wife become a widow, and his kids become orphans. Does God personally kills anyone? Of course not! What it means is that the Law of “sowing and reaping” [which God Himself created] will manifest to be so ruthlessly unbreakable that the end result would seem to be as if God himself had killed the guy.
Another example: the Bible claims there was a meeting in heavens, where God allowed Satan to rise against Job, taking everything away from Him [note: Satan is an allegorical representation for the natural inclination to do the evil that opposes God's will for our lives]. Does Satan personally goes and takes anything from Job? Of course not! But the damage done unto Job’ property by the effect of the Tornado, the Chaldean raiders, and the lightnings that destroyed Job property and sons could allegorically be seen as if God had delivered Job into Satan’s own hands.
Truth be told, the Hebrew Bible was not only written by Hebrew people, but was also specifically written for the Hebrew people [and maybe that’s why nowhere in the Hebrew scripture will we find a Hebrew person ever inviting a gentile to embrace the Hebrew religion]. And since the Hebrew people were naturally born philosophers, it is only normal for gentiles [who are not much interested in philosophy] to barely be able to make any sense out of it.
How then can a gentile know for certain that the God of the Hebrews is real? Very simple! Using the “sowing and reaping technique”; in other words, he can try sowing the goodness commanded by God on the book of the Law (“NOW IF YOU REALLY OBEY THE LORD YOUR GOD’S VOICE, BY CAREFULLY KEEPING ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS that I am giving you right now, then... ALL THESE BLESSINGS WILL COME UPON YOU AND FIND YOU IF YOU OBEY THE LORD YOUR GOD’S VOICE… BUT IT SHALL COME TO PASS, IF THOU WILT NOT HEARKEN UNTO THE VOICE OF THE LORD THY GOD, TO OBSERVE TO DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS... THAT ALL THESE CURSES SHALL COME UPON THEE, AND OVERTAKE THEE... THE LORD SHALL SMITE THEE WITH MADNESS, and blindness, and astonishment of heart”- Deut. 28: 1-2, Deut. 28: 15& 28). If after doing so for a prudent amount of time, the person does not reap the godly reward promised to those who obey such commandments, then the person can honestly walk away from it.
