Whats that got to do with not denying Jesus IS God ???
Thats not a statement acknowledging that The LORD Jesus Christ IS God and has ALWAYS been God...
***
Jesus the only begotten Son of God the Father said before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me (Jesus is the only Begotten Son our Savior and Redeemer)
Isiah 43
8 ¶Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears.
9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and shew us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear, and say, It is truth.
10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.
11 I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.
Remarkable truth regarding mormonism you've posted resty. Jesus (Lord - Jehovah) states that his Father (God - Elohiem) was never formed prior to him or will there be any "Elohiem" progressed to godhood after him. Did Jesus have a memory lapse regarding the existance of his own father?
12 I have declared, and have saved, and I have shewed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, that I am God.
Now mormon Jesus/Jehovah tells all that he is Elohiem as well.
No clarity from resty on just what 'god' she is talking about.
And TWO have a physical body.
Why hasn't the Holy Ghost?
As a whole? No. Why? The time has not come. But consider this. There is more Torah study in Israel today than at any time in the last 2000years OR MORE. Do you think Hashem doesnt know what He is doing?
Jer 31:33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the LORD. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34 No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the LORD,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the LORD. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
But now, we do not as a whole act in a way that sanctifies the name of G-d. Just as Ezekiel describes.
Ezek 36:19 I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered through the countries; I judged them according to their conduct and their actions. 20 And wherever they went among the nations they profaned my holy name, for it was said of them, ‘These are the LORD’s people, and yet they had to leave his land.’ 21 I had concern for my holy name, which the people of Israel profaned among the nations where they had gone.
But G-d will have enough of that!
22 “Therefore say to the Israelites, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: It is not for your sake, people of Israel, that I am going to do these things, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have gone. 23 I will show the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Sovereign LORD, when I am proved holy through you before their eyes.
And inspite of our poor behavior....he will REDEEM us. For His own sake.
24 “‘For I will take you out of the nations; I will gather you from all the countries and bring you back into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your impurities and from all your idols. 26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. 28 Then you will live in the land I gave your ancestors; you will be my people, and I will be your God. 29 I will save you from all your uncleanness.
So, to answer your question...no. But the day is close! Hashem Himself will redeem us and THEN we will be what we are suppose to be...a light unto the nations.
I find this unacceptable.
I'd think you guys would want to get back on track NOW!
And just why are there so many TYPES of JEWS?
You are right...it is unacceptable! And everyday it is a desecration of G-ds name. BUT things are changing for the better...just not fast enough...but they are getting better. Like I said earlier...there is a huge amount of Torah learning in Israel...more and more Jews are ascending the Temple Mount...even among the secular Israelis there is an awakening about rebuilding the Temple etc...The days of the secular IDF are nearly over. A majority of officers are now observant. It is the religious Jews that are having children and it is the religious children that overwhelmingly serve in the IDF.
As far as the why there are so many types of Jews? I am guessing you mean "denominations". There historically has been different strains...pharisee, saducee, karite. The modern divisions occurred in the "enlightenment" period of the early to mid 1800's. Jews, tired of being a seperate people, keeping the mitzvot (commandments) and being persecuted by the host nations for being "different", came up with Reform Judaism, Reconstructionist, Conservative. Of which Reform has done the most damage. They are the 80% of American Jews that are the Obama lovers. They dont believe in the mitzvot and they dont believe in a future Temple in Israel. They believe in "ethical monotheism" Which just means that repairing poverty, injustice etc, will come from the government and organiztions, rather than through the individual actions of the members, or synagogues. They had hoped that trying to blend in...assimilating...would end antisemetism and that the Jew could live in peace.
They havent figured out that once a Jew...always a Jew. The world has a super-rational expectation of the Jew. And the only way to meet that expectation, is to be an observant, G-d fearing Jew.
