the Unofficial "Ask the Jew" thread...

[higherdesire]

When it comes to Jewish LAWS, there are always clear explanations, even if sometimes the explanation is just simply "the bible says so".

But hiding this matza is a custom. As such, it does not have the same weight as a law. Many parts of the Passover have very detailed laws, but this is not one.

That which you speak of is an explanation given by a "Rabbi" of Jews for Jesus, that is not an actual rabbi. Believe me, I have heard of several groups who trick young people into thinking they are learning about jews only to really be invited to believe in Jesus. Those "Jews" are imposters who will use any means to attract unaffiliated Jews away from their faith.

Thanks. Yes there are many imposters in every religion. Most are trying to use the word of God to promote thier own belief as opposed to trying to sincerely seek the truth in Its fullness. By the way, isn;t Jewish a race not a religion? Like African or Caucasian? Good thread bro.

thank you hd.

well, it's actually a religion. i cannot convert to become an african (though i could get a perm and take lots of melanotan LOL)

however, it is a religion started by a specific race of people who did not prosthyletize (sp?) and, conversion aside, is considered passed on through matrilineage. I know that is kind of paradoxical. I mean, some Jews have convert to other religions but they are still the same race. There are a lot of Jewish negros who converted to Judaism, but they are still black...you get my drift...

i think the racial interpretation is either used by some jews to validate their right to live in Israel, or alternatively but some racist groups.
