Note to commenters: this is curiously the third post I've seen this week claiming to be newly reformed atheist and yet bringing passages from Jewish texts.
I read this as another fishing attempt, baiting the community to attack Jewish faith, people and/or history. don't fall for it.
if you want to err on the side of supporting a sincere seeker, stick to spiritual encouragement but don't be tempted to dive into philosophy or religion itself.
they are scanning these boards to grab "evidence" of violent threats and anti-semitism to be used to crack down on 2A and further vilify "white supremacy."
to OP, if you are a new child of faith, of any faith, I celebrate your new journey in fellowship with God.
I don't understand why you refer to it as "Jewish text" as if that's a bad thing. You do understand that the Old Testament makes up about 80% of the Bible. Also the New Testament, yeah that was written mostly by Jews as well.
as are Jesus' Apostles, of course. I refer to the way OP selected passage triggers the some in the comment section and - because it's uncanny 3 in the last week like this - seems to be by design.
