@FishEaters@rachelbsol18 I'm not saying be a Noachide. Shapiro said: 'Just follow Noachide Laws, which Christians already do, so go to Church.' I don't know what Chabad get out of this, but don't care.
And the Rema and the Shakh are greater authorities for Ashkenazim than the Rambam and the Lubavitcher.
@realJennaEllis@benshapiro He probably believes salvation is caused by following the Noachide Laws ( which actually is incorrect on a Jewish understanding, but a common misconception in the Jewish world ).
@realJennaEllis@benshapiro Great questions.
The difference is the laws God demands of you to inherit the Next World.
Christianity aren't required to convert because no one is, and worshipping Jesus isn't considered idolatry for Gentiles according to most opinions.
@FishEaters@rachelbsol18 It reveals that the prevailing Jewish opinion is that Christianity is a permitted religion for non-Jews, something you pretended away by quoting from a minority opinion.
I'm not suggesting you accept a Jewish court; I'm saying that you'd be permitted in your religion in it.
@yJewsStayJewish@yitzzzzz See: Abarabanel to Parashas Nitzavim. He rejects Chazal's ta'am for the reason we're still chayav in Torah and it's m'chadesh a new reason.
@yJewsStayJewish@yitzzzzz@grok I know the Ramban's you're referring to, which is why I'm confident to comment of them. Seen excerpts of that Gra, but never learnt it inside.
@yJewsStayJewish@yitzzzzz@grok The cases Grok cited are ( excepting the korbonos one ) is far less strong than your language.
Also, in Bereshis 18, Rambam is going like Rav Chiyya in the Medrash.
Beyond that, if you're a Rishon ( or on that level ), you have much more leeway than if you're a guy on Twitter.
@FishEaters@rachelbsol18 Maimonides is a minority opinion here.
Please see my attached pictures that lists sources that rule that Christianity is permitted for Gentiles.
@doctorkunkel@sovereignbrah - The Gemara in Yoma is talking about the time of Shimon HaTzaddik ( about 350BC ).
- It wouldn't follow that Jews are Noachides.
- The Noachide laws are included in the 613 laws Jews follow.
Aside from that, great post.
@sovereignbrah Because the majority opinion of the Jewish legal authorities is that Christianity isn't considered forbidden for non-Jews.
Glad I could help answer the question!
@Nomad_95Bin248 If course he is; But on this, he's a minority opinion.
You don't have to pretend that people are excommunicating the Rambam by not poskining like him.
@yJewsStayJewish@yitzzzzz@grok If course he does, because Rambam ( and most of the rishonim ) his Greek views of physics. The difficulty is distinguishing what is Greek physics to be abandoned, and what is redeemable metaphysical views that could be defended today.
