...offending someone and having? people say I am heretical.
Examples of questions I have.
In reading the tanakh (old testament), I wonder how Yahweh would allow and not punish men abusing women, how he could supposedly call for the annihilation of a certain race including their livestock and babies (the Amelekites).
Why do Jews have a habit of calling the creator G-d over Yahweh? I, myself prefer calling him Yahweh because I feel everyone has a specific name or designation and God, well god is just a title like father, teacher, president, etc. I think it belittles him and distances our relationship with him.
How do you deal with offensive dress if you truly consider it offensive and disrespectful? If you think you should avoid it, how do you do this if people with offending dress live in your neighborhood?
I do realize I don't know everything. Either there was a reason for everything and every one needing to be destroyed or Yahweh didn't really command such a thing.
I prefer calling the creator Yahweh over God.
I have been given some websites recently. I have visited a few and looked it over. I have only more questions now. LOL Ahhh,, I think I'll go read the book I have.
Thanks for reading my wall of text. Yahweh will provide with the answers in time if I persevere and patient, not a trait I am good at.
Rousseau, thank you. I feel like I would be wasting his time. I'm not Jewish. I do love to read though. I would be happy to find appropriate dress and sit in the back of the room and pray before I go in, for the proper attitude. As much as I disagree with a bit of the teaching, I have found that, amongst established religions in the area, with actual places of worship, this religion does come closest to my own beliefs, by far and I do want to worship the creator with others.
I just keep getting this feeling that I would be intruding. Tell me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
