Bachi , oops baaaaaaachi,
I promise honestly and sincerely that I laughed when reading that last sentence on your post. I am actually still smiling right now, its God's honest truth.
So can I assume that I got your age correctly too.
Yes these young'ns today are sometimes just too umm too whippersnappery for their own good, don't you think? tut tut..
Come on bachi, fasten your pants and get a grip, I really didn't mean to hurt you in any way but still I can't make wrong be right in order to please.
So was I wrong in my example of an irrelevant question on a religion [the one about yesho being god incarnate] I don't think so. But it's as irrelevant as my ''mistake'' in spelling baaaachi. (Webster's does ''not'' spell it the way you do either, for crying out loud).
Reading carefully is about finding the key issues and ''skimming the irrelevant ones'' as I would typically skim over your irrelevant mistake about your Chumash'l claiming that Pharaoh considered himself a God.
But in your case I ought to make an exception because all your arguments are basically nitpicking on the irrelevant examples rather than the substance. Nitpicking it wrongly that is.
So these are your points;
ובעצם האלהת הנביא אינה מוסיפה ולא כלום לחיזוק דת. משא"כ גילוי לאומי שהוא הראיה החזקה ביותר (לכופרים) שיש
And the ''faithful'' they don't need this proof, precisely, they don't need any proof for that matter.
אני לא צריך הסבר הגיוני למה זה לא הצליח להם. אצלי מספיק מפני שהתורה אמרה כנ"ל שאף אחד לא יטען לזה
Are you saying you don't need logic, that the Torah says so is proof enough? Maybe I don't understand what you mean I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
ראייתך מהעירוב בוומ"ב הוא סתירה מינה וביה, כי אתה מודה שיש להם איזה ענין פוליטי של השתייכות למפלגה. ואעפ"כ הם צריכים לאיים כל כמה שבועות בזריקת הילדים מבית הספר. ואחרי ככלות הכל רובם מטלטלים בצנעה. כי אי אפשר למכור לאקשין לכל האנשים כל הזמן.
It's my strong conviction that more than fifty percent would want the eiruv torn and not usable
תביא ראיה שאנשים רבים - לא יחידים -לקחו על עצמם שש מאות ושלוש עשרה מצוות בלי הסבר הגיוני ואז נדבר
Still don't get it huh? I am saying that this came after the fact,
The Jewish nation as other nations had many rituals before the proof of Matan Torah came along. Some are hinted in the Torah like Yibum, certainly sexual mores as we see that Tamar was to be burned or when Joseph was accused of sexual misconduct. I could go on and on talking about the primitive cultures and their never-ending rules and rituals some very painful and difficult, but let me be brief;
It is very probable that there was a ritual and civil system before the story of Matan Torah was incorporated and canonized every nation presumably had an elaborate ritual system and some civil system as well.
(Think, Moses says ''my God has said he wants us to celebrate in Midbar'', so 1-the Jews had their God and 2-some type of ritual system, or think about the Codes of Hammurabi as to a civil system before the times of Matan Torah.)
so their accepting the story was making their religion which they ANYWAYS had, nicer.
כל יהודי שואל שאלות בליל פסח. ועל התשובה של אביו הוא מבסס את אמונתו.
Yeah right.
Is it Yetzias Mitzraim or Matan Torah?
It strikes me a bit strange, the Egyptians didn't go for the whole show. The Amalakites either but stranger than strange even the Israelites didn't dig it. Right after this awe inspiring event they are back to ''eleh elokecho yisroel'' they ''saw'' it and weren't convinced but 3,000 years later we should be convinced, nice try.
Oh, and you know when the rebellion finally got shelved listen to this,
Korach and Company were miraculously punished by earthquakes yet the very next day the people are back at the revolt only to be appeased by a miracle in which the evidence was safeguarded by hardly an unbiased party namely Moshe himself. Lo and behold the next day Moshe comes in to the Ohel Moad and ''finds'' the evidence in his favor [remember only he had access to the Ohel Moed] so he fast takes it out and shows it to all, everyone is duly impressed so much so that it is to be kept as an everlasting proof to eradicate revolutionary thoughts from ever cropping up again
לפי מיטב ידיעותי סולם הערכים זוהי המצאה יהודית
Very impressed about your vast knowledge base.
Sleep tight, (remember to remove your dentures)
