What is the solution to the Jewish Problem?

Question

Example: Buddism's promlem is attachment, their solution is get rid of attachment and follow the eight fold path. Christianity's problem is sin, our solution is Jesus died for our sins. Since Jewish people don't beileve Jesus died for their sins, what is the solution?

I'm sorry if I'm offending anyone with my question, I'm just trying to finish my paper. I figured I get more clear answers if I asked on here. But with all the very offenceful questions on here, I think I'm the least of your concerns.

Answer 1

I think you misunderstand the basic tenets of the Jewish faith. They're just as concerned with sin as Christians are! However, they believe that, after the Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, repentence and prayer replaced sacrifice.

So I don't think the Christian "problem" and Jewish "problem" are any different -- the only difference lies in how we approach the problem.

Answer 2

We are all at odds with something. Because most of mankind refuses to accept the Creator--that is their problem. The Jewish people are God the Creator's chosen people--He made a covenant with them through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob(Israel). They have the law of Moses. The way they solve their 'at odds' problem with their maker is to follow the law. Part of the problem they have now is that there is no Temple and as far as I know no priestly line. Part of their worship is to atone for sin through sacrifice but with no place and no intercessor there is no way they can get right with God. Their solution could be to accept Jesus as the Messiah (most reject that) or to rebuild the Temple and reinitiate the system of sacrifice. Problem with that would be the animal rights people would have a fit and the New Testament of Jesus Christ predicts that when the Temple is rebuilt the anti-christ will set up house and this will be the abomination of the desolation spoken of by the prophets of old (Isaiah, Daniel etc) and be somewhat close to the end of the world. Or maybe the Jewish Messiah needs to come--although the Christians say that Jesus is the Messiah spoken of by the Prophets. The antichrist is also fortold to claim to be messiah to the jews.
If you are to solve the problems of all religions then I bet your instructor is looking for an answer like 'unity of faith' which is part of the one world church movement--very 'enlightening' but very dangerous. That movement IMHO will lead to the advancement of the antichrist as a world leader. Maybe your teacher wants some creative answer like acceptance of the futility of life--we all suposedly crawled out of the muck after the big bang and created ourselves. Then the solution to the problem of faith based religion is to become without faith and to only look at what we do here on earth as important and to deny the afterlife and the Creator. None of that looks good to me.

Answer 3

Since I don't believe Jesus died for my sins, what's my solution?
I am a Buddhist and follow the teachings of the Buddha but the Buddha never intended to be anyone's salvation. I can only live with compassion and kindheartedness. In the end, there is no 'solution' to anything. We hope that through right action we will remove our suffering and the suffering of others. Best to you.
I feel like you're digging at the Jewish believers on this board and that's really not cool with me, so please practice tolerance.
Best to you.

Answer 4

It is a sin to have attachment and vice versa.
Or, it's all ego. We are mediators between angelic beings and earth, elemental beings. We commit sin because of our attachments to worldly needs.

We have God within us. Even many Christians deny this.or at least the reality of Jesus' words, "These and greater things shall you do."



The Jews will need t

Answer 5

Solution to what?
We have Torah.
We already have everything we need or desire

Jews are not like Christians we don't sit around all day
worrying about sin infact we don't think about sin.We don't train our minds to be so conscience of sin..it is quite the opposite we train our minds to be mitzvoh minded.

Answer 6

It seems that you did not point out any jewish "problem" in the first place. And when there is no problem, why look for a solution? If it is not broken, don't fix it :)

Answer 7

End all religion, and tell the Isrealies to stop being so greedy about the West Bank and to tear down that stupid wall they've been building.

Answer 8

Let people observe religion in their own way.
