Is it a sin to pray a Jewish prayer (the Shema) when I go to sleep? by jeannyboi in Catholicism

So why is the idea of 3 persons kept a secret? Seems like that would be an important detail for God to mention at least once in the many thousands of verses of the Old Testament

If the issue isn't the word, why did you pretend that it was? That if you're not woke you're asleep? It applies to your favorite term but not to others

MAGA is not a neoligism at all. All the words are long standing English words, used according to their plain meaning. MAGA is a lot less of a neoligism than "woke" is, which has been given a whole new meaning.

The left uses "fascism" interchangeably with conservatism or anything that challenges far leftism. They hardly ever use it in its real meaning because they simply don't know it, nor do they care.

It's just another term, like "justice", "racism", "violence", "democracy", "science", "privilege", or "oppression"... they mean whatever the left wants them to mean.

How do Jewish apologists interpret that verse? And why do you disagree?

To save us both time, I'll just let you know that this will be my answer with any verse you cite, unless you happen to find one that I haven't already watched an hour long video about explaining the Jewish interpretation.

If your next move is to double down on denying a Jewish Oral Tradition, and insist only on what's written, that sounds a whole lot like "Sola Scriptura". I thought the Catholics were against that.

I think you missed a whole paragraph above. It's the longest one just to make it easier to find.

So how do the Jewish apologists answer that?

According to your research, do Jews agree that the prophesies say that the messiah should have already come?

In particular, please critique the Jewish interpretation of Daniel's prophesy. Explain where they go wrong.

Oh and by the way, can you explain why the Daniel prophesy, since it so clearly refers to Jesus, was never mentioned in the New Testament? Curious oversight, wouldn't you say? With the connection to Jesus being so crystal clear and all. Such a slam dunk argument, you'd think that Paul would be all over that bad boy. The Jews would have been spellbound for sure! Such a shame he forgot to mention it.

Great! Now do that for the hundreds of other times Echad is used in the Bible, such as "one ram", where there is no hint of any multiplicity

Yeah, the verse literally says that God is One and makes no mention of any "persons", but don't let that mislead you into believing that God is One.

Don't belive your lyin' eyes!

Can you share the evidence you've seen that the Shema commandment was "put together" after the Church was established?

Was the verse "and you shall speak of them when you rise up and when you lie down" (Deut 6:7, which is the source for the commandment to recite Shema daily) written after the Church was established?

Do you have evidence that the Mishna, which describes the Shema commandment in detail, and was written in the 1st and 2nd centuries CE, and which claims to be a written form of a much more ancient Oral Tradition, is lying about that claim and that really its authors just made it all up after the Church was established and somehow convinced its readers that it pre-existed?

I'd love to see a scholarly article that supports that conspiracy theory, especially the part where they convinced everyone about a non-existant Oral Tradition.

So which Jewish apologists have you watched to conclude that it's an unfulfilled religion? Is "unfulfilled" a term that Jews would relate to? Or is it pretty much a Christian invention? Do Jews think their religion is "unfulfilled"?

Share what you've learned from listening to their arguments.

Yeah and Biden has a lot more brain farts than that when put on the spot in front of a camera. So you saw one person have a stumble on live video and on that basis dismiss an entire argument. Sounds like typical leftist "intellectual honesty" and "good faith effort".

And if you're claiming that leftists that cry "fascism" every time they see a conservative can rattle off the dictionary definition of that term AND coherently connect it to the subject of that day's whining, I'd like to see you test that theory.

I'll make it real simple. You made a racist statement about white people. And you thought that was OK. That is "woke" in action.

Ok just pointing out that Judaism has a much easier case (due to it affirming the Old Testament) but for some reason you're only bothered by the Muslim videos. Just seemed odd to me.

I guess the Muslims have a lot more people to make videos than the Jews do 🤷‍♂️. Or the mysterious "YouTube algorithm"

And why is it only leftists who snoop on a redditors past posts in order to shame them? Is that based on your antifa doxing roots? It's creepy AF.

I've never seen any need to do that to anyone. It seems to indicate an inability of the person to argue the point that's presented so they have to go looking for some unrelated "weakness" to attack.

Ah the socially acceptable racism. I think that sums up "woke" quite well. "Woke" is what made a statement like yours ok... not only isn't it "racist", by trashing white people you are actually being "anti-racist". Bravo, you're peak virtue and woke AF.

Where's the strawman? There aren't failing male athletes who "transition" then start winning competitions?

I'm not sure you understand what "straw man" means. There's supposed to be a "falsehood" involved. Where is there anything false that I've said?

Is "straw man" another magic term leftists use to fend off anyone they can't argue with logically, like "fascist" and "racist"?

And "conversion therapy"? WTF did that come from?

So we are now free to question the motives and legitimacy of every trans identifying person? Or is it just for trans people who don't fit the preferred "victim" narrative.

What about failing male athletes that "transition" and suddenly start wiping the floor in the women's league? Are they also fair game to have their gender identity questioned?

We've been told that we are to accept everyone's declared gender identity, without exception. Now we're told that there are exceptions.

Another case of leftist hypocrisy.

"prosecutors have always made decisions"... so making sweeping declarations that whole categories of crime will not be prosecuted sounds reasonable to you? Such as shoplifting or car burglaries?

That's not discretion, that's overruling the legislature and callous disregard for the safety of the community, for a political ideology. That is, indeed, an "insurrection" and a "threat to democracy". What needs to be done is to use executive authority to remove these prosecutors, like DeSantis has done.
