As an atheist to the NT and Koran Gods, nonetheless peace is “good” – whatever that noun means. Shalom does not correctly translate as “peace”. Shalom a verb, which stands upon the basis of “trust”. No trust No shalom. Its a rather simple verb – shalom.
NT & Koran religious rhetoric propaganda which declare their separate versions of 72 virgins of paradise. Pie in the sky rhetoric names: like peace and wholeness and joy, and reflection on positive attributes etc etc etc has zero connection to the blood libels, host desecration slanders, taxation w/o representation, ghetto gulag imprisonment of all Western European Jewry for 3 Centuries & dhimmi racism. The utter poverty Goyim imposed upon Jews which culminated in the Shoah, which murdered 75% of Western European Jewry in less than 3 years through the British White Paper and FDR closure of the Golden Medina’s borders to Jews attempting to flee death, and the Allies adamant refusal to bomb the rail lines which transported Jews to the Nazi Death Camps; followed up by the post war Xtian rat-lines which concealed Nazi war criminals from justice. Opposed by the Arab failure to throw the Jews into the Sea and complete the Nazi Shoah marks both religious theologies as av tuma false avoda zara.
“By their fruits you shall know them”. This NT rebuke defines the whole of Xtianity’s & Islam’s beliefs in their respective God abominations. The culture of Torah rejects the church & mosque concept of repentance – as regret and sorrow for sin – used as a justification to believe in its false messiah Harry Potter fictional imaginary man whom the church declares as God. Or the notion that Ishmael, who rejected the revelation of the Torah at Sinai, would receive a “prophet who speaks in the Arabic tongue” as the Koran declares – as utterly false.
My parents taught me: “Its easier to be a critic than a play-write”. The Torah concept of t’shuva utterly revolted by the Xtian rhetoric of “repentance for sin”. The oath brit alliance learn t’shuva as bound like Yitzak upon the altar to “remember”. We Jews “remember” that both the Xtian church & mosque destroyed their “Good Name reputation with all their abominations and injustice that make even Par’o blush. The Torah term “fear of Heaven”, which Goyim simply love to jabber jabber jabber, Torah understands as “Baal Shem Tov”/Master of the Good Name. By their fruits you shall know them … has sealed the reputation of these dead religions known as Xtianity & Islam.
Torah culture which defines the customs and practices of the Jewish chosen Cohen people through the sealed masoret of T’NaCH, Talmud & Siddur, utterly repulsed by the Goyim religious rhetoric propaganda they call “Faith”. Our culture as defined by Torah common law defines “faith” not as belief in theological lies about Trinity Gods first declared after the Nicene Council of 325, or later as Tawhid. The verb “faith” rests upon the foundation of pursuit of justice in this world. Just that simple no fancy dancing. Post Shoah Jews have sworn a Torah oath: Never Again. Meaning never again shall Goyim in general, and European Goyim in particular, together with their religious belief in their new strange Gods determine THEIR “Jewish Problem”. No European or Muslim court ever forced the leaders of their avoda zara religions to stand before the Bar for THEIR war crimes.
Hence Israel fundamentally rejects UN SC Resolution 242, 338, 446, 2334 etc etc etc (the movie: The King and I) as Great Power imperialism; Europe nor its dead God church religion, determines the borders and Capital of the Jewish state in Israel. Palestine (Arabs cannot pronounce the European word, specifically the letter P.) that League of Nations originally mandated territory – based solely upon the 1917 Balfour Declaration – Britain’s willingness to partner with Jews to establish a Jewish National Home in “Palestine”; that transferred mandate to the post WWII UN switched from Mandate to “protectorate territory” — wholly ceased to exist in 1948. All Arab wars fought to invade and destroy Israel based upon their rejection of the Balfour Declaration which culminated in the League of Nations original Palestine mandate to establish a Jewish National Home in Palestine, all Arab wars against the Jewish State have rejected Jews have equal rights to achieve self-determination. This rejection of equal rights resulted in the expulsion of 800,000 Jewish refugees from Arab countries, and the Arab leadership which commanded Arabs ‘to get out of the way of advancing Arab Armies coming to throw the Jews into the Sea’.
Pursuit of righteous judicial justice among my people shares less than nothing with Xtian or Muslim beliefs in their pie in the sky theologically created NT/Koran Gods in Heaven. Post Sinai Torah not in Heaven. The local tribal god of Sinai lives through the spirits of the Oral Torah within the Yatzir Tov within the hearts of Jewish chosen Cohen people from Sinai till today and all eternity. These Gods JeZeus & Allah: the “prophet” JeZeus taught his disciples to pray to their Father in Heaven. Torah rejects the Greek translation of tefillah as meaning prayer. Tefillah does not pray to any God in Heaven, tefillah dedicated (like a korban) tohor middot spirits revealed to Moshe at Horev – 40 days after the Sin of the Golden Calf.
This Torah revelation of golden calf av tuma avoda zara vomits & retches upon the church\mosque pie in the sky notions of idolatry. The 2nd Sinai commandment: not to worship other Gods — despises the Universal Monotheistic theology of ONE GOD. The 10 plagues of Egypt judged the Gods of both Egypt and later Canaan. The prophet Yehoshua cut the oath alliance at Gilgal – just as the local tribal god who spirits breath within the Yatzir Ha-Tov within only the bnai brit chosen Cohen people hearts (Only the 12 tribes of Israel accept the revelation of the Divine Presence spirits revealed in the 1st Sinai commandment.) judged the Gods of Egypt, so too this same Earth-bound Divine spirits would judge the Gods of Canaan. Neither NT or Koran once refer to the revelation of the שם השם which forever dwells in this Earth and not in the heavens through tohor middot spirits. Their notions of World to Come – religious rhetoric. Torah through the brit cut between the pieces defines “World to Come” as the future born Cohen seed of the Avot who live and breath tohor spirit middot within their Yatzir Ha-Tov – on this Earth.
Jews remember this oath sworn and recorded by the NaCH Book of Judges when we place Rashi tefillen and/or Rabbeinu Tam tefillen (which remembers the oath sworn by the chosen Cohen people at Sh’Cem) prior to accepting the Yoke of the kingdom of heaven/the mitzva of kre’a shma — the Torah vision of tefillah understood as a matter of the heart. The k’vanna of this time-oriented commandment wherein time refers to מלאכה חכמה: To remember the 3 oaths sworn by the Avot to father the chosen Cohen people in O’lam Ha-Bah, also known as the mitzva of קידושין; and לשמה accept the Written and Oral Torah revelations as ONE brit yoke of the kingdom of Heaven. Tefillah דרבנן stands upon the foundation of tefillah דאורייתא קריא שמע, like shalom stands upon the foundation of trust. The Torah oath remembered, originally cut at Sh’Cem, remembers that our forefathers swore only to do avodat HaShem in a tohor condition. Muslims don’t eat pork, but the camel precedes pigs in the classification of tuma animals.
Neither Camel nor pigs can squeeze through the eye of a needle … a summation of the conflict and betrayal of Xtian European and Arab Muslim pie in the sky NT\Koran belief systems of theology. The spirituality of the NT/Koran “church” – I am an atheist praise God. These foreign alien “new Gods” never caused the hair on my forefathers forearms to stand at attention due to fear and dread.
The Chosen Cohonim atheists do not believe in any God in Heaven post the Sinai revelation of Divine Spirits – middot. Most specifically we do not believe in any 2nd coming of the NT false messiah JeZeus or Muhammad lived as a Torah prophet. T’NaCH prophets command mussar. Mussar grows within the Yatzir Ha-Tov hearts of the chosen Cohen people who alone accept the revelation of the Torah at Sinai and Horev, in all generations. The mitzva of Moshiach learns directly from the mitzva of Shabbat. Just as all generations of Jews can sanctify shabbat so too and how much more so Jews can pursue justice in this world among our own people – the mitzva of Moshiach from the Torah directly learns from the blood on king David’s hands – his failure to establish Sanhedrin common law Federal courts which would judge the Capital Crime Case of the death of Uriah the Hittite. His son Shlomo pursued building a house of wood and stone rather than prioritized the Torah Constitutional mandate of Sanhedrin common law lateral Federal courts. Justice has no connection whatsoever with copying the customs and practices of how Goyim worship their Gods by building Grand Temples and Cathedrals.
Torah/Talmud\Siddur – this sealed masoret excludes the NT and Xtian bible or Muslim Koran, which makes no mention of Oral Torah middot spirits revealed to Moshe 40 days after assimilated and intermarried ערב רב Israelites “translated” spirit middot unto the word Elohim. The NT and Koran do the same with their ‘word of God’ Bibles and Koran through their theological translations of Lord or Allah. Sinai Divine Spirit middot no word can translate because middot spirits simply not words – that the gospel of John declares otherwise – represents a Xtian theological problem. Such theological rhetoric propaganda – not part of the Jewish pursuit of making fair restitution of damages by which the Torah defines justice as Torah faith in the Earth below rather than the Heavens above.
The angelic Divine Names: Ya, Ha-El, El, Elohim, El Shaddai, Eish Ha-Elohim, and Shalom. This Menorah multiple faceted souls dedicated on the Yom Tov and Shabbat compare to the living blood dedicated upon the altar. Hence the halacha permits eating flesh of liver cooked in a pan because such blood – not living blood. Each day of shabbat dedicates a different Spirit soul which separates and defines the Yatzir Ha-Tov in this Earth during the mitzva of tefillah. Tefilla stands upon the משל\נמשל vessels of the Mishkan. Primary/secondary-Substance\form–Avot\/toldot mitzvot – calls טיפש פשט any literal “historical” rather than “mussar” reading of the Mishkan; equal to the literal “historical” reading of the בראשית Creation story. The נמשל of the latter – time-oriented Av commandments explains the kabbala why the Israel watch reads בראשית during the dedication of korbanot.
After 1948 Jews exposed the Xtian slander and lies which publicly declared – like their God publicly profaned Shabbat before the Pharisees by doing acts of מלאכה which the Greek tongue does not discern from עבודה – that Jews forever cursed Christ-Killers forced to wander the Earth as despised refugees without a nation of their own. Now the shoe worn on the other foot — post Shoah. The Xtian church of Europe and America has permanently destroyed their ‘good name reputations’. And post ’48 and ’67 Arabs wonder the Earth as despised refugees who have no legal rights – not in Arab lands nor in Israel. Justice remembers that ghetto & dhimmi Jews had little or no legal rights during our g’lut from the לשמה מצוות holy lands.
A person who understands fear of heaven grasps that his or her actions directly and permanently enhance or stain their reputations. A reputation compares to a balloon floating across a huge field of cactus. Pop! And the reputation permanently destroyed. Just as integrity and pursuit of righteous justice among my people in the land of Israel impact all future born generations, so too and equally opposite — Xtian and Muslim theologies shape the life and destiny of foreign alien Goyim in distant lands, and their faith in how they believe in their Gods.
