The Clip below, presents a “correct” hostile propaganda that in point of facts – 100% correct.
Beware of Goyim false messiah narratives.
Religious masturbation, how utterly depressing
Both Harry Potter and Weight and Gift of the Cross fail to grasp the Torah concept of Sacrifices as the medium wherein the chosen Cohen People swear a Torah oath “brit” to employ tohor middot within their Yatzir Ha’Tov within the heart.
What Christianity and Potter miss – that the Torah idea of korban, simply not a magical transaction. But a legal act of swearing fidelity to the brit first established by Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov which creates the Chosen Cohen people – תמיד מעשה בראשית – through the Avot commandments known as time-oriented commandments which require prophetic mussar as their most essential and required k’vanna; meaning the dedication of defined Oral Torah tohor middot first revealed to Moshe 40 days after the sin of the Golden Calf on Yom Kippur.
Both works of fiction and revisionist history tell a story of folks in possession of God like powers awarded and bestowed from some undefined Father who sits upon some throne in Heaven, and who bestows magical messiah-powers upon His chosen beloved. Both mythical characters of Harry Potter and JeZeus make the ultimate sacrifice, and sacrifice their lives as the pathway to achieve ”salvation”.
Both fictional narratives fail to define either how the Torah understands the meaning of terms like prophesy, love or even – and most significantly – Torah sacrifices! Even more significant both messiah novels fail to address the Torah concept of Moshiach as learned from Par’o having his “Court” inflict torture upon Hebrew slaves for their failure to meet their quota of bricks!
This story as told in the beginning of the Book of שמות, serves as the kabbalah יסוד, wherein Torah common law relies upon Torah precedents to understand the dedication of the mitzva of Moshiach, defined as the righteous pursuit of judicial justice which strives to make fair compensation of damages inflicted by Party A upon Party B.
“The Weight and Gift of the Cross,” the reflection on JeZeus as the Messiah emphasizes themes of sacrifice, redemption, and the call to discipleship.
However, this narrative – critiqued for presenting a simplified view of messianic expectations, focusing on personal salvation without adequately addressing the complexities of justice and accountability.
But even more central and far greater priority, both fictional narratives utterly fail to grasp that Torah commandments apply – like as does the mitzva of Shabbat – to all Jews in all generations. The idea of some chosen messiah God figure – an utterly alien foreign abomination of Av tumah avoda zarah.
Both narratives fail to engage with the Torah’s understanding of the Messiah, rooted in concepts of justice, ethical behavior, and communal responsibility. The messianic role in Judaism – not merely about individual salvation but involves a holy dedication (directly comparable to a korban burnt upon the altar) which applies straight across the board to the entire chosen seed of Avraham Yitzak and Yaacov; that all generations – rather than some chosen specific individual – have the obligation to sanctify the mitzva of Moshiach, as a Torah commandment, to pursue and sanctify righteous judicial Sanhedrin common law courtroom justice.
Torah “Prophets”, understood as “police agents” of the Sanhedrin courts who enforce the Legislative Review judicial rulings of the lateral Sanhedrin common law courtrooms.
Torah Prophets have the Constitutional mandate to make Legislative Review of government statute laws; they can both anoint and depose kings! Police/prophets give teeth to the rulings of Sanhedrin courts. Judicial legislative review defines the name of the 5th Book of the Torah משנה תורה as well as rabbi Yechuda Ha’Nasi’s משנה.
Both of these non Jewish narratives, by stark contrast reflect the Goyim cultural & customs understanding of Messiah. They create fantastical worlds where mythical beings possess extraordinary powers.
In Harry Potter, together with his Cross-like scar upon his forehead, which imprisons a soul of evil, magic serves as but a metaphor for personal growth and moral choices; while the Gospels, miraculous events, often interpreted as divine intervention – like cursed trees immediately dying or herds of pigs running off of cliffs to their deaths. Such wild fictional story narratives implicitly instructs the gospel rebuke of: “By their fruits you shall know them.” Why ‘implicitly’? Because the church has ignored this gospel rebuke for 2000+ years.
These cultural stories of how Goyim perceive ancient Hebrews or modern British witch societies, they both reflect outsider cultural narratives that shape the reading of how non Jewish audiences understand – good and evil, morality, and human experiences.
These fictional narrative employ fantastical elements to convey propaganda disturbed emotional belief systems later developed into both Cannon and Creeds. Easter, known as Lent, commonly know as “Passion of Christ”, which commemorates blood libel pogroms so that Jews endure their accountability for killing God.
Both imaginary narratives fail to hold their own criminally insane and violent believers to any judicial justice of accountability. Post the Wizarding War, only a few criminally insane war-criminals sent to jail. Rather than mass public executions, Goyim courts quietly freed guilty war-criminals. The Catholic church established rat-lines to assist Nazis to flee to South America.
Never the implied gospel rebuke: “By their Fruits you shall know them” demand for accountability for crimes. Church morality limited this gospel rebuke only to the Jews.
Pope Pius XII made an open alliance with Hitler, and Martin Luther promoted not just Nazi Book burnings, but actual mass murder of Jews burned to their collective deaths inside synagogues. The Catholic public burning of the Talmud in Paris France in 1242, served as the inspiration of Nazi hate crimes.
The Harry Potter witching world directly compares to the three Century ghetto-gulags, wherein the church threw Jewish refugee populations into prisons of poverty. The concealed world of witchcraft societies likewise compares to the forced mass population transfers – similar to the 1492 Spanish expulsion of Jews. The weakness of magic in the Potter story, magic cannot produce food any more than Jews languishing in Catholic gulag ghettos.

The Weight and Gift of the Cross
As the day concludes, reflections on Matthew 10:38 prompt meditation on discipleship through the cross. Embracing this cross, representing surrender and sacrifice, leads to true freedom and intimacy with Christ. With prayer for strength and guidance, we are….

Sep 4/5 2025: Settlers Perpetrate Massive night Pogrom at Khalet a-Dab’e
Khalet a-Dab’e is in the heart of Masafer Yatta. Somewhat unusually for the region’s Palestinian villages, it sits atop a high hill. That could be one reason why the military and settlers have targeted it so relentlessly. Last week on the night between Thursday and Friday (September 4/5), dozens of settlers descended upon Khalet a-Dab’e and perpetrated a pogrom. At least 50-60 criminals, apparently from the entire region’s settlements and outposts, entered the village and immediately assaulted residents of all ages with bats and iron rods.

Dhimmi Arab refugee populations absolutely reject, together with all other Arab and Muslim countries which refuse to recognize the Jewish state post ’48 and ’67; Jewish equal rights to achieve self determination as defined by the 1917 Balfour Daration and the 1922 Palestine Mandate. Ottoman land laws, which remain on the books in the modern Jewish state today, reject non Ottoman Muslims, both Jews and Arabs from owning Ottoman lands. Dhimmi stateless Arab refugees promote revisionist history, in point of fact during Ottoman rule Arabs existed at best as share-croppers.
Arab Muslim rejection of Zionism rooted in Arab rejection of Jews equal rights to achieve self-determination in the Middle East. All Arab countries opposed and voted against the UN General Assembly vote of 1948 wherein 2/3rds of all UN member states recognized Jews equal rights to achieve self determination in the Middle East as the Palestinian Mandate originally authorized.
The status of dhimmi Arab populations in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is complex, with many Palestinians identifying as refugees or stateless individuals due to the historical events surrounding the establishment of Israel.
The רמב”ם perverted the Torah faith. His works generated a ירידות הדורות-domino effect-upon all down stream generations of the chosen Cohen people.

Remedies as recommended by Israel Information Center Ithaca. Moreover, ask the right question to AI and you will get an algorithm Rabbi’s answer. There is a Rabbi whose responsible is out there we should find out who ?
______________
Never begin with the assimilated Rambam whose works substitute the 3 part syllogism deductive logic of Aristotle from the kabbalah of rabbi Akiva and rabbi Yishmael’s פרדס וי”ג מידדות respectively. The Rambam Yad perverted T’NaCH/Talmudic “Common law”, replaced by Greek\Roman “Statute law”. The two legal system entirely and totally different. The Rambam substitute assimilationist – a direct negative commandment profaned – rejects the Gemara of mesechta Avoda Zarah wherein the sages teach that in the generations prior to Noach, Goyim abandoned the oath brit alliance!
.בראשית לה There this Gemara introduces the Aggadah of offering of the Torah to different nations. It mentions that God offered the Torah to various peoples, including Ishmael and Esau, who both rejected it upon hearing its commandments. Similar themes, in Midrash Tanchuma, and Midrash Rabbah, where God offers the Torah to the descendants of Ishmael and Esau. They inquire about the contents of the Torah and, upon learning about the prohibitions against stealing and murder, they declined the offer.
Therefore the revelation of the Torah at Sinai reveals a local Tribal God. ואמר רבי אלעזר: כל אומות העולם לא קיבלו את התורה, אלא ישראל בלבד קיבלו את התורה — שבת פח. Yet the Rambam embraced Islam’s Koran of a Universal God/Monotheism. The latter directly profanees the Pesach teaching of 10 plagues wherein HaShem judged the Gods of Egypt, which underscores the 2nd Sinai commandment! If only Allah lives as God, then the 2nd commandment commanded in vain.
Belief in HaShem – no such commandment. Only the theological creeds which shape and dominate the “daughter religions” of Xtianity and Islam make belief systems the crux of faith. What constitutes the Greatest Torah commandment? Answer: the First Commandment at Sinai. Why? How does אנכי יצאו לכם ממצרים — שמות כ:ב, upon this one commandment hang – like a mountain hung by a hair? This commandment on casual observance, a statement rather than a commandment! How then does it even merit the status of a Torah commandment?
Answer: Does a person accept this commandment לשמה או לא לשמה? Person’s, like all g’lut Jews – if they keep commandments at all, they do so לא לשמה. Why? The Torah curse of being in g’lut. Therefore the assimilated rabbi Rambam introduced his 13 middot of Jewish faith in his introduction to the Mishna of Sanhedrin. Assimilation and intermarriage represent the two primary Avot tumah which define avoda zarah.
“But halacha without belief is just choreography.” Halacha functions as Gemara precedents to interpret the language of the Mishna viewed from an entirely different perspective. Like a blue-print Top/side\front views. The Rambam abomination obliterated not only the precedent ties of a Gemara halacha to a specific Mishnaic language which it then can re-interpret based upon viewing the language of the Mishna from a completely novice perspective view, but equally evil – it likewise divorced Gemara halacha from its Aggada which permits scholars to elevate rabbinic mitzvot unto tohor time-oriented mitzvot commandments from the Torah.
Rambam perverted halacha merely unto mindless robot-like ritualism. Kashrut does not require cutting the major artery and vein unto the brain. Why? Answer: Unlike korbanot wherein the Cohen must throw the “Living blood” pumped from the artery wound while the heart remains beating – which all korbonot dedications upon the altar absolutely require. The slaughter of animals for daily common consumption does not require this “living blood”.
Hence the Mishna and Gemara of Chullen do not require that ritual slaughter of animals, cut these arteries and veins going to the brain. The Rambam never discerned this day and night distinction in his halacha. The Rambam “I believe with perfect faith” utter and complete narishkeit. The Torah defines faith as common law judicial justice which strives to make fair compensation of damages inflicted by Party A upon Party B. The Rambam defines faith as doing mindless, without k’vanna, religious ritualism “mitzvot”. The root קבע defined as תעשה תפילתך במקום קבוע. Dispute between the Tur vs the Shulkan Aruch. מקום קבוע the Tur followed the opinion of Rav Rotenburg of Germany which learned this “place” as the Beit Knesset. Whereas the Shulkan Aruch follows the opinion of the Rabbeinu Yonah which opined that a persons’ מקום קבוע – a fixed place in his private home. Both rulings – false. Why? Because tefillah – a matter of the heart. And not the place/location where a person physically stands.
What then does מקום refer to in this latter context? The משל מקום teaches the נמשל of כוונה directed to the Yatzir HaTov wherein dwells the שם השם לשמה within the heart.
All the Reshonim commentaries universally failed to understand the significance of שם ומלכות as the requirement to swear a blessing Torah oath. Saying Tehillem prayers, for example, does not require שם ומלכות b/c Tehillem exist on a infinitely lower order/plane of “praise”. To make a Torah blessing requires the כוונה of swearing a Torah oath upon defined tohor middot to remember the Torah oath brit which continually creates the Chosen Cohen people through tohor time-oriented Av Torah commandments. Saying the praise of Tehillem compares to doing the far lower positive and negative Torah commandments which do not require כוונה; as does the Av tohor time-oriented Commandments. This fundamental and utterly basic מאי נפקא מינא — רב חסד טהור מידה ALL the Reshonim commentaries ever written failed to discern.
A blessing upon the President together with our Prime Minister of Israel. France nor Britain do not determine the international borders of the Jewish State. Foreign European countries or their lap dogs cannot unilaterally recognize a Balestinian State because it violates the Oslo Accords.
Oral Torah as revealed to Moshe at Horev following the sin of the Golden Calf, openly rejects ancient Greek theories of syllogism deductive reasoning. The kabbalah of Rabbi Akiva’s פרדס logic format, especially as explained by Rabbi Yishmael’s 13 middot of logical interpretation strategies – together they define the revelation of the Oral Torah at Horev as an inductive reasoning logic format.

____________________________________
The T’NaCH functions as a common law system, where the texts establish precedents through case and rule comparisons. This suggests a structured legal framework that informs Jewish law and practice. The Gemarah’s commentary on the Mishna is highlighted as a method of interpreting Jewish law through inductive reasoning, which provides a dynamic – as oppose and contrasted by Greek deductive static reasoning – multi-dimensional understanding of legal principles.
The common law of the T’NaCH prioritizes Prophetic mussar whereas the Gemara focuses upon ritual halacha as precedents. The authors of the New Testament misunderstood the nature of the T’NaCH, particularly in their claim that Jesus “fulfilled” the prophecies. This is framed as a misinterpretation of the role of Torah prophets, who were enforcers of law rather than predictors of the future.
The distinction between the roles of prophets and legal authorities in the T’NaCH is a central theme, suggesting that the prophetic function is often misrepresented by later NT framers. The consequences of this basic fundamental error: the Xtian framers intended to establish a religious belief system whereas the Framers of the T’NaCH envisioned establishment of Sanhedrin courts common law. The complexity of this latter objective, difficult for Goyim to grasp, primarily because they lack the Talmud as a point of reference – how to understand the language of the T’NaCH as the Primary Sources of Jewish law. Lacking the Aggadic narrative provided by the Talmud, Goyim simply fail to understand that the purpose of the Aggadic stories – they explore the language of Prophetic mussar to provide the “k’vanna” which defines the purpose and meaning of all Talmudic Aggadic stories.
The Talmud compares to a loom with its warp & weft threads. Weaving interpreted prophetic mussar as the k’vanna of halachic ritualism – this defines not only how to make an aliyah\elevation of rabbinic ritual mitzvot observances unto Torah commandments, but this same wisdom equally applies to elevate lower positive and negative Torah commandments to Av tohor time-oriented Torah commandments! Goyim have never grasped the depth & scope of Torah commandments within the Torah. They never conceived nor grasped that Moshe as the Framer of the Torah organized these 5 Books to function as the Constitution of the Republic of 12 Tribes. Torah as a Constitutional Basic Law of the Chosen Cohen Peoples’ Republic — a far different vision from the Pauline ‘Original Sin’ addiction of Man for some imaginary mythical Harry Potter God/messiah to save Humanity from their sins.
Prophetic Mussar vs. Ritual Halacha: T’NaCH interprets prophetic mussar; Gemarah interprets ritual law as the culture and customs observed by the nation of the chosen Cohen People. Avoda zarah interpreted as such to mean: 1. The Cohen people have a negative commandment NOT to follow, much more so embrace, the cultures and customs practiced by Goyim civilizations which do not accept the opening First TWO Sinai commandments.
This profound understanding of the revelation of the Torah at Sinai starkly contrasts with the Rambam’s pathetic perversion of Aggadah up-rooted totally out of context from mesechta Sanhedrin concerning the 7 mitzvot applicable to Gere Toshavim who temporarily dwell within the lands of Judea; as opposed to the despised Goyim refugee populations, who likewise temporarily reside within the borders of Judea. Mesechta Baba Kama instructs that the latter dhimmi refugee populations enjoyed no legal protections. If a Jew damaged their persons or property – these “illegal aliens” possessed no legal “Torah Constitutional” right to sue the damager Israel in any Jewish Court of Law within the borders of Judea. As a point of reference: Jews, as despised refugees in Europe and Muslim countries for 2000+ years – political exiles, dhimmi refugee populations – no Goy Court in Xtian or Muslim lands ever once held criminal war-crimes committed by the Church or Mosque priests or sheiks accountable. G’lut/exiled Jews had no legal rights to sue – NOT either Church or Mosque in any Goyim courts of law for 2000+ years of g’lut/exile.
Viewed from this basic historical context, the Talmud of mesechta Baba Kama makes complete and total sense. Hence mesechta Sanhedrin addresses the legal rights of Gere Toshav strangers to sue Jewish damagers in Jewish courts of law; whereas mesechta Baba Kama excludes dhimmi foreign alien “wet-backs” from the ”privilege” of legal judicial rights to requests from a Jewish Court to enforce fair compensation of damages they suffered from an Israel. During the Dark and Middle Ages, a similar custom practiced upon dhimmi exiled Jews; writs of privileges issued to Jews by princes and church officials. These writs of privileges directly compare to mesechta Sanhedrin’s 7 mitzvot “bnai Noach”.
The fundamental error of basic Talmudic common law scholarship made by Rambam’s decision to “convert” the Talmud into Roman statute law; this absolute error stands upon the copied-assimilated Av tumah avoda zara wherein this rabbi embraced the error followed by the Samaritans, Tzeddukim, Karaim, Reform & Conservative Judaism today. This Av tumah avoda zara generated a domino effect upon all down-stream generations of Jewry. The Talmud refers to this type of disaster as ירידות הדורות-descending generations.
Later down stream rabbinic Judaism made a error and interpreted this Talmudic concept as the inability of later generations to challenge the opinions made by earlier generations; something comparable and akin to the Catholic idea of the infallibility of the Pope — utter and total narishkeit stupidity. Pope Pius XII stands as proof witness of this absolutely worthless טיפש פשט-bird brained idea. Rashi’s commentary to the Chumash challenged the opinion made by Targum Onkelos as erroneous. How could Rashi argue against a contemporary of Rabbi Yechuda – the author of the Mishna? Answer: In matters of logic, no generation has a lock monopoly by which it can dictate its logic over later generations.
Genesis 1:1, Rashi discusses the creation narrative and contrasts his interpretation with that of Targum Onkelos. This Rashi opinion nails the Arab rejection of political Zionism’s quest to achieve Jewish self-determination within a restored Jewish State in the lands of Judea. Rashi believed that later generations could offer valid interpretations that might differ from earlier authorities, including Targum Onkelos. He emphasized that logic and understanding of the text naturally develop and evolve.
Rashi’s commentary on בראשית א:ב — והארץ היתה תהו ובהו. Targum Onkelos translates as: איר אתכללו – “it was desolate”. Rashi argues that Targum Onkelos’ interpretation does not capture the full meaning of the Hebrew terms. He explains that “תֹהוּ” refers to a state of emptiness or chaos, while “בֹהוּ” refers to a state of void or nothingness. Rashi emphasizes that the two terms convey distinct concepts that are not adequately represented in Onkelos’ translation.
Exodus 12:6: Rashi comments on the phrase regarding the timing of the Passover sacrifice. Targum Onkelos translates it in a way that Rashi finds problematic. Rashi argues that the translation does not align with the intent of the Hebrew text, suggesting that Onkelos’ interpretation – not accurate in this context. This example illustrates Rashi’s approach to engaging with earlier interpretations, including those of Targum Onkelos, and his belief that later scholars can offer valid critiques based on their logical insights. Based upon the premise that no one generation owns a lock and key monopoly of logic.
“עד יום עשותו – עד יום שיבואו ישראל לידי עשייתו, ולא עד יום שיבואו לידי אכילתו, כמו שתרגם אונקלוס: ‘עד יום שיבואו ישראל לידי אכילתו’.”
In his commentary, Rashi points out that Targum Onkelos interprets the verse as referring to the day of eating the Passover sacrifice, while Rashi understood this verse as the day of its preparation or offering. This illustrates Rashi’s critical engagement with Onkelos’ translation.
In בראשית א:ב, the phrase “והארץ היתה תהו ובהו” is translated as “איר אתכללו,” meaning “it was desolate.” This translation captures the essence of the Hebrew term “תהו ובהו,” which conveys a sense of emptiness and chaos.
In contrast, in דברים לג:ב, the phrase “מן אִתְּכַּלְּלוּ” translates to “from the mountain of Seir.” Here, “אִתְּכַּלְּלוּ” is derived from a different root and refers to a geographical location rather than a state of being. The context of this verse is about God’s revelation from Sinai, and the term is used to indicate a specific place, rather than a descriptive state. Rashi states that Onkelos’ translation is incorrect because it implies that the verse is referring to a physical location rather than the spiritual significance of HaShem’s revelation. Rashi emphasizes that the term “מִסֵּעִיר” should be understood in a different context, focusing on the divine aspect rather than a geographical one.
בראשית א:ב — והארץ היתה תהו ובה Targum Onkelos translates as: איר אתכללו – “it was desolate”. Whereas דברים לג:ב: ויאמר ה’ מסיני בא ושרח מסעיר למו — Targum Onkelos translates this as “מִן אִתְּכַּלְּלוּ” (from the mountain of Seir)? In בראשית א:ב, the phrase “והארץ היתה תהו ובהו” is translated as “איר אתכללו,” meaning “it was desolate.” This translation captures the essence of the Hebrew term “תהו ובהו,” which conveys a sense of emptiness and chaos.
In contrast, in דברים לג:ב, the phrase “מן אִתְּכַּלְּלוּ” translates to “from the mountain of Seir.” Here, “אִתְּכַּלְּלוּ” is derived from a different root and refers to a geographical location rather than a state of being. The context of this verse is about God’s revelation from Sinai, and the term is used to indicate a specific place rather than a descriptive state. Thus, the variations in translation reflect the different contexts and meanings of the words used in each verse. The שרש\root – כ-ל-ל conveys meanings related to completeness or inclusion. In this context, it refers to a geographical location, specifically indicating a place from which something originates or emerges.
This contrasts with the root of “תֹהוּ” and “בֹהוּ” in Genesis 1:2, which conveys a sense of chaos and emptiness, highlighting the different contexts and meanings in Rashi’s commentary and the translations provided by Targum Onkelos. This example of Rashi’s dispute with a Tanna illistrates the classic error assimilated to ancient Greek cultures and customs the Rambam erred when he interpreted the word ONE in kre’a shma means “monotheism”. Monotheism violates the 2nd Sinai commandment. Furthermore, mesechta Avoda Zarah opens with the understanding that prior to the generation of Noach that the Goyim had utterly rejected the oath brit alliance.
The Torah of בראשית opens with the Name אלהים (the substitute word translation of the Divine Presence Spirit word of both the שם השם עצמו as well as the Orev 13 Oral Torah middot wherein Jews to this day during the month of Elul. For example: tefillah a matter of the heart … and to make a blessing requires שם ומלכות. The Mitzva of blowing the Shofar on ר”ה make a מאי נפקא מינא הבדלה which separates and distinguishes between air blown from the lungs from tohor spirits blown from the Yatzir Ha’Tov from within the heart. דכתיב: גכל לבבך.
On Elul Jews likewise separate t’shuva from repentance. Similar words on superficial appearance, like brit and covenant. T’shuva “remembers” the Sin of the Golden Calf, like Amalek which plagues Jews in all generations with its hateful antisemitism. We remember that HaShem – measure for measure – threatened to make a substitute theology idolatry and replace the oath sworn Cohen seed of the Avot with the seed of Moshe Rabbeinu “eye for an eye” for the Israel ערב רב replacement theology with substituted אלהים “word” for the שם השם לשמה Divine Presence Spirit which quickens the Yatzir HaTov within the heart, through the dedication of tohor Oral Torah middot.
Hence a blessing requires מלכות – the dedication of korbanot middot לשמה. Herein explains why the Book of בראשית opens with the word name אלהים rather than the Spirit Name שם השם לשמה as commanded in the first commandment of the Sinai revelation; the בראשית story opens prior to the oath brit which creates continually the chosen Cohen seed of the Avot through tohor Av time-oriented commandments which require the מלכות dedication of Oral Torah spirit middot through the Yatzir Ha’Tov.
Goyim, both Xtians and Allah repentance by contrast only refers to personal regret. This interpretation goes well with the Xtian guilt trip theology of “He died for you”. In like manner, ברית refers to an oath alliance which function as the יסוד of the Republic of the 12 Tribes; wheras covenant implies some vague connection, which if “shattered” some foreign alien other God could substitute Goyim as the “New Israel” or Universal monotheistic God. The Rambam avoda zarah assimilated and embraced the Muslim idea of a universal monotheistic God. He rejected mesechta Avoda Zarah which understands the God of Sinai as a local Tribal God based upon the conclusion that the Goyim never accepted the revelation, meaning first two opening commandments of Sinai as John 1:1 proves, of the the Torah at Sinai.
