Judaism.

The Arabs have roiled the world for decades with their furious protest that their land has been "stolen" from them. One might take seriously such a statement if it came from a pacifist people such as the Tibetans, who had quietly inhabited their land for ages before it was seized by the Communist Chinese in 1950. The claim is laughable coming from the Arabs, who in the early Middle Ages conquered and reduced to slavery and penury ancient peoples and civilizations stretching from the borders of Persia to the Atlantic; who in 1947 rejected an Arab state in Palestine alongside a Jewish state and sought to obliterate the nascent Jewish state; who never called for a distinct Palestinian Arab state until the creation of the terrorist PLO in 1964­sixteen years after the founding of the state of Israel; and who to this moment continue to seek Israel's destruction, an object that would be enormously advanced by the creation of the Arab state they demand. The Arab claim to sovereign rights west of the Jordan is only humored today because of a fatal combination of world need for Arab oil, leftist Political Correctness that has cast the Israelis as "oppressors," and, of course, good old Jew-hatred.

as a Jew I'd like to say that JEW4MESSIAH is speaking on behalf of a very very small fracture of Jews who are very very OFF THEIR ROCKERS

you cant be a Jew and believe that jesus was, is and will ever be the messiah. the two religions cannot coexist together.

I respect Christians opinions and views and think that as long as they believe in a higher power and want to lead a moral life then that's super. But I will not stand by as this JEW4MESSIAH tarnishes the name of Jews everywhere.

I hope no one here thinks that his skewed views hold any weight at all here or in the Jewish religion.

The Muslim religion.

Islam and Christianity, the "daughter" religions of Judaism, have hundreds and thousands of years of war and suppression to their names. The original, Judaism, is peaceful and never made a religious war on those who believe differently.

You have, of course, the Crusades as the prime example.

Religion is going out. Religion requires too much work for the busy lives we as Americans live. Plus many people turn away from religion because it is easier to disreguard than it is to follow The Word. Being Spritual in a non-denominational church is becoming more and more popular because you are not bound by religious matter. The Worshipping makes you feel like you are connecting with Jesus and that is what encourages you to try your best to be a good person, as requested by the Bible.

religion is coming from old french and it also contains the word Eli

Ēl (אל) is a Northwest Semitic word and name translated into English as either 'god' or 'God' or left untranslated as El, depending on the context
In the Levant as a whole, El or Il was the supreme god, the father of mankind and all creatures and the husband of the Goddess Asherah as attested in the tablets of Ugarit.
The word El was found at the top of a list of gods as the Ancient of Gods or the Father of all Gods, in the ruins of the Royal Library of the Ebla civilization, in the archaeological site of Tell Mardikh in Syria dated to 2300 BC.


from the etymology dictionary religion is
c.1200, "state of life bound by monastic vows," also "conduct indicating a belief in a divine power," from Anglo-Fr. religiun (11c.), from O.Fr. religion "religious community," from L. religionem (nom. religio) "respect for what is sacred, reverence for the gods," in L.L. "monastic life" (5c.); according to Cicero, derived from relegare "go through again, read again," from re- "again" + legere "read" (see lecture). However, popular etymology among the later ancients (and many modern writers) connects it with religare "to bind fast" (see rely), via notion of "place an obligation on," or "bond between humans and gods." Another possible origin is religiens "careful," opposite of negligens. Meaning "particular system of faith" is recorded from c.1300.
"The equal toleration of all religions ... is the same thing as atheism." [Pope Leo XIII, Immortale Dei, 1885]
Modern sense of "recognition of, obedience to, and worship of a higher, unseen power" is from 1535. Religious is first recorded c.1225. Transfered sense of "scrupulous, exact" is recorded from 1599.

considering this, the best religion is the one that allows the best rely with god
who is god, this is another question but I believe in god that jesus believed

None, I have about had it with all these religous, self rightious idiots. You can sin as long as you repent or ask forgiveness, what are you freakin nuts.
If I was you I would pray at home and not depend on a church or religion to make any decisions for you. Just be a good person. Use your common sense. You don't want to be part of the cults.

Judaism worships a God who is the Father of all humanity, whose attributes of kindness, mercy, compassion, and justice are to serve as examples for all our actions.

Judaism teaches that every person is created in God's image and therefore is of supreme value.

Judaism asserts that people are to be co-workers with God in preserving and improving the earth. We are to be stewards of the world's resources and to see that God's bounties are used for the benefit of all. Nothing that has value can be wasted or destroyed unnecessarily.

Judaism stresses that we are to love other people as ourselves, to be kind to strangers, "for we were strangers in the land of Egypt," and show compassion to the homeless, the poor, the orphan, the widow, even for enemies, and for all of God's creatures.

Judaism places great emphasis on reducing hunger. A Jew who helps to feed a hungry person is considered, in effect, to have fed God.

Judaism mandates that we seek and pursue peace. Great is peace, for it is one of God's names, all God's blessings are contained in it, it must be sought in times of war, and it will be the first blessing brought by the Messiah.

Judaism exhorts us to pursue justice, to work for a society where each person has the ability to obtain, through creative labor, the means to lead a dignified life for himself and his family.

Judaism stresses involvement, nonconformity, resistance to oppression and injustice, and a constant struggle against idolatry.

religion is man made-Jesus is God made into man

the best to believe it in the Messiah
a covenant is a formal agreement made between two
Judaism began a covenant with God

God due to our rejection of the covenant made a new covenant -Jeremiah 31:31 ff verse 31 and following
"I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel not like the one I made with Moses.. and you will personally be my people and I will be your God."

how we get the new covenant=

simply believe in the Messiah as promised in Isaiah too.


in a triunity -like h2o -water steam & ice but always h2o God is always God he just has 3 forms
"Let us make man in our image" Genesis-plurality of the God head -Echod is a compound one. Elohim =God is plural

Messianic Jews -are Jews that have come to know the Messiah-as promised in the Jewish scriptures, Isaiah 9:6 Unto us a child is born a son is given, and he will be mighty God, and the prince of peace.

we believe the Jewish scriptures that God would manifest himself in a person, and also as Spirit two as our Scriptures tell.

Other Jewish people reject Isaiah and Moses too required blood sacrifice to make atonement for sins Leviticus 17:11

Isaiah 52:13-53:12 " He will be exalted. To whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? He will lay down his life to make atonement for our sins."

with the temple gone and no way other than the promised messiah to be forgiven from sins-some made new religions, based on the teachings of men and still called some of them Judaism. pray for me and them.

now Yeshua/Jesus is my Messiah, and best friend-because I believed Moses, Isaiah and Him. Messiah says, "I love you and knock on your heart door to come in, deliver from sin (even one lie) and be your friend when you ask me in." Revelation 1:1 & 3:19&20th verses

I prayed "Show me the truth."
then "I believe you Messiah, I am sorry for my sins, come into my heart and help me, be my friend, amen."

Life is wonderfull now having the Messiah in my heart-I searched after my bar Mitzvah and finally believed my Jewish Scriptures and the Messiah.

have a great day and good question. yes we believe, David

The one that sent someone to redeem us from the penalty of our sins for all eternity and brother, there is not one other "religion" that has done that but the one we call Christian after Christ,our saviour.

You may have asked this in jest but to every person who ever was,is,or yet to be born, it is the most serious decision a person will ever make in his entire lifetime. Thus my serious answer.
