What you call “God” is only a mental concept, not the real God. God is not a dogma, nor can God’s essence be contained in any dogma.

What people call “God” is an amplified daddy-figure. A daddy that is some times angry, other time loving. At all times a requiring obedience, and always punishing, and punishing.
This is indeed a very childish “God”.

The real God does not give you commandants, because he gave you something much, much greater:Namely YOUR INTELLIGENCE, which is the most formidable tool enabling you to face any situation. With your awareness and intelligence, you can face and prevail in every unknown and unpredictable situation as in presents itself before you.

Some interpretations claim that “Yahweh”, God’s name, as revealed to Moses, actually means “I am that I am”. This cryptic sentence, indicates that there cannot be any name for God. God is BEING. To BE is to BE-GOD. Very few people have Moses courage to follow this “voice” of pure being.

Mose never saw “God”, he only heard a voice, and saw burning bush. You, just as much as Moses are one with the God. The only difference is that Moses trusted that voice of that undescribable “I AM that I AM”, because he did not have any holy books. You on the other hand look into the, edited, censured, and otherwise corrupted recordings of what other people experienced when they were in touch with their divine intelligence, and in the process miss your own divine intelligence.

Besides there are plenty of vegetarian Jews who find justifications in “God’s” words for their vegetarianism, however I consider their argument to be just as silly as those who claim that “God commanded them to eat meat”.
*
If Jews stop eating meat, they will be the healthiest brightest and most powerful people on this planet. Vegetarians live on average 7 years longer than average Americans. They have significantly less cancer, diabetes, obesity, arthritis, allergies, and other autoimmune diseases, and vegan’s among them have 10 times less incidence of heart disease and stroke.
If SHARON did not eat meat, he would not be lying in coma now. The saturated fat and cholesterol has plugged up his brain arteries.
*
If you love Jewish people, stop eating meat (and even more urgently dairy).

Apologies, I meant to be less dubious.

Free will is free will to sin – not necessarily to do good, which all of HIS Creation tends to do, based on original sin passed on by Eve. We are not *G-dbots* but dearly loved by an Almighty Creator. We have a choice and that is why I call it a *Battlefield*, a really difficult but winnable fight.

Sadly, we all tactically fail in this fight at one time or another.

*there is no doubt that Roman ideology permeated Christianity during its formation and early years.*
You wrote a better wording, essentially that is what I meant.

Looking at the PDF now.

Check out Obadiah’s Jesus and Christ novel which is available on this website. In short, Paul is the main architect to modern Christian dogma and practice, and in reality his “religion” varied wildy from that which was taught by Jesus. While Jesus advocated strict adherence to Torah, Paul taught to annul all commandments in place for his religious doctrine. Christianity incorporates many pagan rites and influences into itself.

When you say Romanism, you are partially correct…there is no doubt that Roman ideology permeated Christianity during its formation and early years.

When men are entitled to interpret a text to their liking, of course they can (and do) arrive to different conclusions. When we can’t agree on what it means to be a Jew, and even the most outspoken and influential rabbis and leaders cannot settle the issue, what’s the solution? A great question that needs to be (but in reality might not ever be) answered in a way that is satisfactory to everyone.

Developing Christianity would seem to be more like Hellenized Judaisim from the greeks. The major cause could be assimilation of cultures into 1st century Christianity which were all Jews.

*anti-semitic) dogma wasn’t set in stone until First Council of Nicea.*
Sounds like Romanisim not Christianity.
