Being Jewish is BOTH an ethnicity and a religion. If his or her mother is a Jew, then so is the child ethnically by birth, a Jew.
If the person doesn't follow the religion of Judaism, they are a still a Jew by birth, but not by religion.
The condition of their birth cannot be changed, they are from their mother who is a Jew, therefore they are also a Jew. This is Torah law.
They are a heretic if they convert to another religion such as Christianity or Islam or whatever.

there are countless changes. Hebrew is a prosperous language and lends its self to distinctive opportunities while being translated. further to that situation is the cultural distinction between Judaism and Christianity and you're particular to have any communique on the subject get emotional very devoid of postpone. interior the Latin translation efforts have been made to apply as numerous the Aramaic Targum translation as possible. Jesus spoke Aramaic and it replaced into maximum undemanding language interior the Israel at that component. because of the fact Jesus’ references to the Jewish scriptures have been ordinarily from the Targum translation it made experience to apply them as a reference in translating from the Septuagint (Greek). the 1st translations have been made utilising the Targums the Septuagint and the unique Hebrew. The Targum translation is the place I comprehend the extra youthful women/virgin interpretation got here from. All Jewish translations come immediately from the Hebrew text cloth. the situation of the version between Christian and Jewish variations isn't as numerous an argument with Christians because of the fact we've maximum of translations of the OT attainable. Varity is the norm for us, it isn't the comparable for Jews. the changes interior Christian translations are not any extra advantageous that the changes between any of the them and the Tanakh. because of this your superb source on the changes may well be Jewish substances. the situation is that Jewish substances at the instant are not fascinated in why there are changes or how they got here approximately. All efforts are directed in direction of proving that Christianity is a pretend faith.

Hi....
According to Jewish belief, you 'must' believe everything in the Torah/Old Testament, because it is the word of god!
It is 'obviously' NOT the word of a god and IS the word of men!
Perhaps you questioning things, is the start of you becoming aware of this and breaking the chains, that have kept you deluded by belief and faith!?
Man created 'god' and in 'his' own image....
Science and a good and fair moral outlook, a faith in ourselves......
Is our 'only' Salvation!!
