The concept of God in Jewish orthodoxy is one where you're having constant quarrels with God. Where I come from, in Islam, the only concept of God is you submit to Him and you obey His commands; no quarreling allowed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't believe in God. I do believe in Judaism. I believe in ethics, morals.
It seems to me that Islam and Christianity and Judaism all have the same god, and he's telling them all different things.
The orthodox believers in God are divided into two camps, one of which maintains that the existence of God is as demonstrable as any mathematical proposition, while the other asserts that his existence is not demonstrable to the intellect.
Jews focus on the Torah, the embodiment of God's will; Christians, on an embodied God.
I grew up Jewish. I am Jewish. I went to an Episcopal high school. I went to a Baptist college. I've taken every comparative-religion course that was available. God? I have no idea.
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.
I think all religions can agree on certain definitions of God and concepts of God, like God being the god of love, the great 'I am' energy.
As set forth by theologians, the idea of 'God' is an argument that assumes its own conclusions, and proves nothing.
God is whoever raised Jesus from the dead, having before raised Israel from Egypt. There is no God but this God.
In the 5,000-year history of Jewish thought, the notion of a God-man is completely anathema to everything Judaism stands for.
