    Noahides - An Authentic Religion?

    OK, but reading the summary regarding Noachidism states that it came from Rabbinic thought and it is supported in the Talmud. So, yes, I agree that the Torah came much after the Noachide Laws... But when did the idea of the 7 Noachide Laws come into consciousness for the Jewish people? My...

    Noahides - An Authentic Religion?

    Sorry if I put 3 threads in one here (Oh-no, there's that old doctrine again ;) )...^_^ I really had a lot on my mind! I appreciate your replies here...and I am intersted in all three topics. Since I am kind of new to the CF, then I will gladly take some advice on how this should be discussed...

    Why do Atheists Dodge the God Question?

    I suppose this is where religion can be argued as being made-up by man. Perhaps it is man's way of controlling the people to avoid chaos and confusion... Ironically, all the split-offs of religion only add to the chaos and confusion!;)

    Similarities in all religions?

    So Baha'i sees that every religion is a manifestation of God's message to His people. And the evidence for this is found in the commonalities in each of the world's religion scriptures. I find it interesting that all the other religions (except Baha'i) would not agree that every religion was...

    Noahides - An Authentic Religion?

    After reading a few breif statments of the following website regarding what it means to be a Noahide... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noachide#The_seven_laws (given by chokmah) ...I discovered a few alarming details... Before I go too deep into my thoughts, I need to also inform anyone reading...

    Has anyone ever been converted here ?

    Thank you for the info... However, as I have left one religion, this looks a little daunting to me personally. I would like to start a new thread about Noahides as I have questions regarding its authenticity. In that same thread, I would also like to discuss the legitimacy of Judaism. I now am...

    Living in a state of fear?

    This was extremely brave of you to do! Thankfully, my parents (and in-laws) do not follow Christianity and so explaining my fall from faith was not so difficult. The most difficult part was asking for forgiveness from my in-laws and parents both for acting judgemental and showing intolerence to...

    Has anyone ever been converted here ?

    What is Noachide? Is that a part of a conversion process to Judaism (from Gentile)?

    Why do Atheists Dodge the God Question?

    Theoretically, if there was a God, and man truly had no knowledge of this God because God had no interst in a relationship with man... then what is the purpose of believing in and/or worshipping God? Having a relationship with God seems to be an important criteria for believing in God (and...

    Living in a state of fear?

    It seems that your original post suggested that the non-christian posters should not be welcomed here. That a non-christian poster should only be interested in learning about converting to Christianity if they post here. You gave the impression that non-christians spread flammatory remarks:mad...

    Similarities in all religions?

    It is very interesting that I also felt that MY religion was the ONLY religion and I tried to convince everyone else that it is the ONLY way to God. I felt very justified about my decision of the faith that I once had - in fact, so justified that I could not understand why anyone else did not...

    Has anyone ever been converted here ?

    As for myself, I really didn't convert to anything... Actually, I ended up leaving the Christian Church because I could not buy into the Jesus story anymore. CF gave me all the material I suppose I was looking for. I spent hours upon hours reading debates between Jews and Christians seeing that...
