I would like you all to back up and take a serious look... and ask yourself.. does this effect your own personal salvation?
In what way?
I'll bump to thatNow everyone can see that I have three bumps. Bumping for Newbies.
I am a bumpin' foolThanks for the bump LLoJ.
Unfortunately, some here don'tI like a man with a good sense of humor.
This comes from someone who obviously doesn't know Judaism. Judaism teaches one to question everything, challenge your beliefs, and not just believe blindly.Do Orthodox Jews ever speak out against Rabbi's teaching falsehoods? That is, things contrary to scriptures.
At this point, I'd say you're bumping for your own ego. Not for anyone else's benefit... everyone has had a chance to see it by this point and would have commented if they wanted to.Now everyone can see that I have three bumps. Bumping for Newbies.

Well, I respect the notion that theoretically Judaism teaches that one should and can question anything, but in real life it's almost the opposite. There are a great many things that Jewish religious leadership will not tolerate being questioned. I've had rabbis flat-out refuse to discuss certain issues and go silent on questions I've asked, even when I was a young man.

They are the congregation of Zion. And that is according to scripture and history.
