Judaism boasts of no exclusive revelation of eternal truths that are indispensable to salvation, of no revealed religion in the sense in which that term is usually understood.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think it's a wonderful fact about Judaism - at least about the approach to Judaism I most relate to: There are no universal answers. We don't have it all figured out. God is unknowable.
Silence, this will surprise you not, isn't really a Jewish concept.
Judaism is interesting in that there is something there that I think you just can't understand if you're not a Jew - it moves into a realm of true mystery.
Judaism lives not in an abstract creed, but in its institutions.
We realize that Judaism as a faith can survive only in an atmosphere of general faith.
Salvation cannot come without revelation. Men of the present time testify of heaven and hell, and have never seen either; and I will say that no man knows these things without this.
I was raised Jewish and fully embrace the core beliefs of Judaism - the ones that I identify as core beliefs, which are essentially freedom and justice. But the supernatural aspects of religion were never important to me.
Indeed if we Christians so tell our story that Judaism is silenced, then we have not spoken rightly of Christ.
For a Christian, Jesus is the unique and only way that God has fully revealed himself. For a Jew this cannot be.
Judaism is in all my books.
