    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    why is it that both gods, angels, and demonic spirits have never been observed, but are only ever credited for doing anything when it is us humans doing things? a god gets credit for doing something when humans do good things for each other, like when someone prays to either Krishna or Jesus...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    for one, nobody knows where the Torah came from. All you have is a set of texts that were written by the jews around 650 b.c. that included in the story that a character named moses who supposably did what the story claims, a good 650 years prior to the story being written. Whats funny about...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    The Holy Bible was put together by christians for christians with a christian bias for what to include and what not to include, and if you study the various holy texts used by the jews today, and all jewish concepts you will see why they do no share your opinion. Not a personal attack, but there...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    I gotta respond to this, I was about to shut my computer off and a had to go and take a peek lol. Ok sir, hypothetically, if you were having a discussion with a hindu and you were referencing a god that is believed to be real and true t the hindi, would you have the same respect and reverence...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    Again, I dont want to get started about christianity, but I will tell you that I've done quite a bit of research into Judaism, both ancient and modern and I have quite a different opinion about these prophecies that are claimed by the NT writers. There's very good reason why both, the jewish...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    My problem is with the claim that the god, as depicted in the holy bible that only ever appeared to individual jews once in a great while is the only real god to ever exist. In fact, in the old testament it's not even clear as to whether or not there was ever only one god because the earliest...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    thanks for your reply, I don't want to bring the validity of christianity up in this discussion, because I'de end up having my hands full with too many folks here obviously as this is a Christian forum. For now I just want to discuss how the god of the old testament jews ended up becoming any...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    As I said I am referring to what the jews who believed in and worshiped yahweh only going all the way back to Abraham had practiced When I was a Christian I managed to read the entire bible from cover to cover twice, and I have a distinct memory reading in the old testament where instructions...

    If Yahweh was a real god, why did the jews practice similar to other religions?

    Ok, one of my doubts about this god that the jew's, and canaanites(if they were the 1st to worship yahweh) believed in and worshipped, is the fact that both before and after judaism became aq practice, many of the rituals that were practiced including but not limited to animal sacrifice, sole...

    Former Christian here :-)

    Well for now I just want to focus on the origins of the god that the jews in the bible claimed to have litterally talked to way before Jesus came on the scene.

    Could you link me to the appropriate forum where I can discuss a topic about the existence of the god yahweh? I have questions to ask monotheists about whether this god exists or not. Thank you.

    That's totally your decision to make. I really wish someone would include in their reply my request for help for what I need to do so I can start a discussion in other areas of this forum. If someone can help me with this I am willing to at least start a couple discussions that may interest some...
