You want to know what is sad & pathetic about most modern Jews who think they are authentic?
The fact that most Christians know more about their festivals, history, and religion than they do.
The fact that a small group of modern day Samaritans practice a true Passover according to the Torah than any Jew does in Israel and beyond - their Hebrew is even more authentic than what is currently spoken in Israel.
You guys ignore your own prophecies written by your own prophets. Who can take you seriously?
Don’t forget the evidence that shows the Samaritans kept the original version of some verses from the Torah that the Rabbinists altered.
By the way, regarding your scholarly quip about ‘Jews who think they are authentic,’ a Jew is “authentic” in accordance with a system that has been in place for thousands of years.
One doesn’t wake up, like so many of our noble scholars here, and drawl “Gee, I’m grafted in! Learned it in Sunday School!”
And in the same statement you talk about your supreme knowledge of Hebrew and the practices of “any Jew in Israel...”
“....most Christians know more about their festivals, history, and religion than they do.”
I nailed you! (so to speak.)
Next week can you post something about your superior command of Shintoism?
