Non-believers may be more knowledgable, as they have through great lengths to take the time and energy to understand different religions to try to find one that makes sense for them....

Im only requiring of you what you said you had. Superior knowledge of the Bible more than the Christian. Why is that rude?...
Click to expand...

its rude, because you are lying about what I said.

I said a non-believer MAY have more knowledge, not definately had superior knowledge....as your dishonest post suggests.

don't lie about people's comments.
 
Thunder said:
and how is it that you know the hearts & minds of MOST Jews?

done a poll have you? mind reader?

I'll tell you one thing though: its attitudes like yours which is why we we are STILL Jews.

I don't need to do a poll. I know the Bible. I have spoken to Jews and found these things to be true.

You don't like the word 'superior'. Ok. Still waiting for the 'more' knowledge. Haven't seen any of that either.

there are around 16 million Jews on Earth today. You claim to know what most of them believe.

have you spoke to 8 million Jews?

4 million Jews?

2 million? 1 million? 500,000? 250,000? 125,000? 63,000? 31,000? 15,000? 7,500?

how many Jews have you spoken to....so that you now speak with authority about what MOST Jews believe?

The question you asked afterward for no reason, other than to question my faith. I remember a entity written of in the Bible that also tested, and questioned peoples faith...

Well, yes. But there was a reason. The Bible is where we know what a Christian is and how to become one. You refuse to show your supposed method of becoming a Christian in the Bible. Brings your 'Christianity' into question.

I already stated why I'm a Christian. Your refusal to accept that is of no consequence to me.

Jews believe a multitude of things. Very few believe their own Old Testament. I don't need to talk to eveyone to know that.

again, I am not a Christian.

but I have read most of the NT, and its clear to me that the only honest reason to question another Christian's faith, is by his works & deeds.

Sorry, that plays no role in being a Christian. And they are only obnoxious to you because you cant produce the 'more' knowledge you claimed.

so your claim to know what MOST Jews believe, was a dishonest one?

glad we could agree on this.

and considering that you appear to not believe in your New Testament, you're really one to talk.

No. Most Jews don't know their own Old Testament. I do know this. They believe a multitude of things, but most don't know their own Old Testament.

No, you just wait a minute--is it your job or anybody else's to judge the quality of another's faith or its sincerity. No, it's not.

The Masoretic Text is but a part of Jewish Scripture. And how exactly do you know how many Jews believe in the Tanakh?

I don't need to know exactly the number. I know most Jews don't know or believe their own Old Testament.

you know no such thing. All you know is what you wish to believe, out of ignorance & arrogance.

I find your claim to know what MOST Jews believe, to be highly offensive.

And I'm asking how you know this. Why is it that you demand everyone backs their claims, but when it comes time for you to back yours, you can't?
