View Full Version : Defending G-d

G-d is the greatest. Therefore, when someone insults G-d or a prophet, is it nessesary to respond by being violent. Or even respond at all?

I mean who am I to try and defend G-d. G-d doesn't need me to defend him. He is the greater than anyone who could attack him. Therefore, my philosphy is to follow the laws of Judaism and try to make the world a better place. If someone isnults my religion... so... Big deal. G-d doesn't need me to defend him and his word.

It just seems like a current issue.

Would you allow someone to spread lies or insults about any of your family members?

evendo in reality it has no effect on Allah swt the way lies and insults have on human beings and their reputation i still think it's still important that you defend Allah swt's name by correcting whatever that was said by the individuals attacking your religion

It is only natural that a person gets angry when someone starts insulting their beliefs.

So it is only a natural reaction.

Also we have to uphold the truth and abolish the falsehoods.

So it is best to clear peoples misconceptions by explaining to them things, so that through logical arguments they have no grounds to stand upon. And after that if they continue their insults then they prove themselves to be fools

No matter what anyone says about my wife, whom I love dearly, I'm not going to kill them of burn down there house.

I agree with Lavikor, god does not need me to defend me.

My family members are not G-d. G-d is the most powerful being ever. So why would he need a mortal to defend him?

I would say many people are so concerned with their identity, and how that identity is percieved by others, that they will view any attack upon that identity as an attack upon themselves. Of course God does not need defending, but most of these violent responses to percieved attacks upon God aren't about defending God, but about defending their identity. Just my two cents.

wow that's pretty intense i hope i didn't spark this part of your reply with my post

bassicly my analogy was..

Someone you know calls your wife a...(insert insult) because of this and that... in front of others

and if your present ..

you ''should'' reply( if you were me!) no she not a (insert insult) and you come with corroborating evidence to refute the silly claims projected at your wife by the person you know

why miss this golden opportunity to discredit this liar?

no killings or burned houses involved, if somebody insults your religion you should refute whatever was said in a calm way and in the process you might change this persons mindset

Why need Prophets?? when He is the one who created our minds and therefore could program us to be all Muslims or all Jews or all Christians etc etc

you show your dedication love and respect by defending him and that's why it's important you discredit or refute insults against your religion

i also find it incomprehensible that god (or the prophet) need defending, tho certainly people have a right to speak up or correct ignorant accusations if they feel insulted when someone insults their religion, and there really is no excuse to insult another religion.
all 3 of the "western" religions have the blasphemy concept, which i also don't understand.

Don't make it look like its a bad thing to defend your faith. If someone says something fake, they'll move on thinking they are right. Why lose the opportunity to correct someone? No one says you should kill, so yea please leave the idiotic notion aside.

Violence is counterproductive.

Its is when defending someone from verbally attacking your faith involves violence.

well if there is someone who you love dearly being insulted, you must stand up in defense of that person regardless of their power. If the Lord of All that exists is being insulted, and if you truly love Allah, you must prove it by defending the name of Allah. That doesn't mean Allah is weak and He needs our defense, it just proves how much we love Him and how much we are willing to sacrifice for His sake. If God is being insulted infront of you, and you don't get mad and try to defend God, that proves you don't care about Allah.

How do you define, "Defend"?
Is it saying to the offender that they are wrong?
Or do you defend by causing physical harm or death?

So when Propeht Moses as, punished his people for worshipping other than god,,is wrong?

Is he not defending GOD?

Would you be more happy if they just worshipped the golden calf and never learn of the 10 commandments?

Hmm,,i would say that trully you are a follower of man religion..not Gods.

Do you also accept gay and lesbian as your faith leaders?

5. Sacrificing to false gods was a capital crime in the Old Testament (Exodus 22:20).

7. Blasphemy, or cursing God, warranted the death penalty (Leviticus 24:10-16,23)

8. The false prophet, specifically one who tried to entice the people to idolatry, was to be executed (Deuteronomy 13:1-11), as were the people who were so influenced (Deuteronomy 13:12-18).
http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles/1974

So in all cases you are supposed to defend GOD,but here you are saying you need not.

As a countrpoint,if you do not need to defend GOD,and you feel that you are a "little old me" powerless and so on..

Why then are you so excessive in your support for Isrelais evil actions?
Infact why do you support the Israel?

In the past you siad it is for the return of your messiah,meaing you want your messiah to come but on the other hand do not do as god command..

Is that not a contradiction??

I think some Muslims mean "It is saying to the offender that they are wrong". But I also think some Muslims mean "to cause physical harm or death".

Not all Muslims think alike just not all agnostics think alike.

I defend, as long as physical saftey if not at risk, by "saying to the offender that they are wrong".

I noticed that you never answered the question. So how do you define defend?

I am happy that you did not challenge the verses that command you to defend GOD.

So here i am asking you..

You say you want to support Israel,and want your messiah to return..

But yet disobey GOD,but aking up rules that God has set.

Are you following your religon or God's?

It really depends on what you mean by insult. I'm not going to go around making fun of muslims for their beards or turbans etc, but I will say "There is no Allah" or "Religion does more harm than good" and some will see that as grave insult.

Salaam,

I guess i would have to piece this together for you huh.

Well either you do not wish to comprehend or you would rather be disdainful..

It is simple..

In one hand you hope to do well and pray for your messiah,but on the other hand you "akin"..should be making....new rules to uit you.

So in simple term,what do you think you can disobey GOD in,but still ask him for favours?

In what law are you willing to break in your "little old powerless me" stance,that you are willing to break?

If you wish me to expound further i will ,but i think you should get the general drift.

And despite 3 response,you ahve not asnwered,do you prsonally accept gay and lesbians? in direct contradiction to your book?

Also pls answer do you think that Propeht Moses as was wrong for defending GOD? by cursing his people for worshipping a calf?

Yes I have answered you. I personally do not accept them, but do not wish to kill or care about them either. That is there personal buisness with G-d. Can you read though, my earlier post:

No of course not. His actions were not in G-d's defesne though, they were to stop his people from destroying themselves through idolatry which is why the ones who refused to renounce it were killed.

Greetings Lavikor,

I understand where you're coming from in terms of God being all powerful and he does not need our support or defending, he is above that. However, when a believer defends his lord, note that those who do it well are those who defend God through kindness, humility and patience. In the Qur'an in varies places it states; Innallaah ma3a sabireen (God is with those who are patient). I think naturally when we are practicing christians, muslims, jews we presume that if we retaliate with harshness and violence that God will be pleased with us but not necessarily.

Please elaborate. Please tell me how I am disobeying the Torah! Please! This ought to be good. Explain to me about what I am doing wrong or how my beliefs run contrary to Judaism.
I do not think you're breaking any part of your belief, rather you come across as being I-don't-really-care. Nonetheless most if not all practising jews, hindus, muslims stand up and defend God when he is being blasphemised. Do you mean to say that when you were a child and someone insulted your mother/father that you would not defend them to your capability, regardless of the fact that you may have been small? then how is so that your creator does not deserve your support, when he is above all humans you have defended in your life? It shows a sense of love, humility. Having said that I certainly do not think you go against any of your teachings by taking your stand, as far as I know about judaism.


Yes I have answered you. I personally do not accept them, but do not wish to kill or care about them either. That is there personal buisness with G-d. Can you read though, my earlier post:

Of course not, but I do not support putting them to death, or lighting them and there posesions on fire either.
Basically you are against it but you're being politically correct.



No of course not. His actions were not in G-d's defesne though, they were to stop his people from destroying themselves through idolatry which is why the ones who refused to renounce it were killed.
You make a valid point but his action re-inforce his dedication to his lord, commitment. The action of Lot (May the peace and blessing of Allaah be upon him) could be justified in both of our cases. No wrong answer, I say this feels like sitting in a philosophy class.

I apologise in advance if I wrong you with what I have written.

Regards,

Silver Pearl

I know that most non Muslims are freaking out because of muslims behaviour defending Islam (burning buildings, people dies)...

But if you can see it happened in the same places/countries.... which is lacked of security, discipline etc ...

There were lots of demonstrations held in Malaysia.. but no building was burnt, nobody is dead... the only injury caused by Malaysian Muslims is boycotting Danish products...

I think the same applies to Muslims in Iran, Brunei, the Gulf, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Mali, Bosnia, Albania, Central Asia etc...

Salaam,

Well let see,do you read my post on the verses in your book that speak about the punsihment and to defend GOD?

My question is more on do you accept gay and lesbian in your faith,to be priest and so on?

So tell me,if in your view what is the definition of defence?

For me,it is simple,Propeht Moses as borught the peopl out of slavery,miracles was seen by the masses,splitting of the red sea and so on...then when Prophet Moses as went up to commune with God,the people reverted to paganism..worshipping a calf..a golden calf.

And when Propeht Moses as came down,in his horror he saw his people worshipping other and IDOLATORS..

Did he say,,LIttle old me,i cant do anything,should god wish it GOD will punish them.

But instead Propeht Moses as punished them in the name of GOD.

May i ask,is Prophet Moses wrong to punish the people for the Blasphemy and thereby defending the faith?

Or should have Prophet Moses let god punish them..


I have said it clearly to you,
What other laws in your religion would you change to suit yourself but still claim the right of GOD love?

Idolatry and insulting a faith are two different things. Very diffferent according to Jewish law.

actually i agree with your opinion that religion does more harm than good.
i don't believe that "there is no allah" but i see no reason why a person would be insulted by the fact that someone doesn't believe in god.
it's one thing to state your beliefs (or un-beliefs) and another to insult and i think most people can easily tell the difference, so it's not really an issue.

No, it is an opinion. Here is a quote from the Rambam:

All those words of Jesus of Nazareth and of this Ishmaelite [i.e., Muhammed] who arose after him are only to make straight the path for the messianic king and to prepare the whole world to serve the L-rd together. As it is said: "For then I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech so that all of them shall call on the name of the L-rd and serve him with one accord" in Zephaniah 3:9.

So basically, Islam can very well be a valid form for the goyam (non-Jews) to worship G-d, according to many opinions. The quote above tells us how it is a fufilled prophecy that before the Moshiach would come, the non-Jews would be led to monotheism. (See: Zeph 3:9)

Since the Moshiach has not come yet, we can assume this is because G-d has chosen not to completly fufill prophecy yet.

If it is still man-made, you are suggesting that there is nothing wrong with humans inventing their own religions.

If his religion was authorised by God, how can God have authorised two religions that contradict each other?

Oh it is completly man made according to Judaism and I, however, that does not mean that these people were not met with sucess because of the partial fufillment of the prophecy, which still is not completly done yet. The reason there religions are 1st and second largest may be because G-d, but there beliefs are man made in my opinion. Yet still can be valid. Very confusing buissness.

The Rambam might have held that the Muslims did not even realise that the Quran is basically the laws that non-Jews must follow, with a bunch of man made stuff around it.

Then why did you say "In your opinion"??

Do you disagree that God only made ONE religion?

Or did you disagree on the fact that God only made one religion and He will only accept that people believe in that one religion?

Idolatry and insulting a faith are two different things. Very diffferent according to Jewish law.
Salaam,

So in your own word,you are powerless,and you wont defend your GOD.
Becasue you are weak. A man and not GOD.

Was any of the Prophets in the OLD BOOKS? God?

Were they wrong to take action to punsih and so on?
Were the other men whom were not Propehts wrong fro punishing in defence of GOD?

And you say,Idolatry and insulting a faith is differnet.

May i ask,when the Isrealites worshipped a calf and say you are better than Moses GOD...is that an insult?

Why would they worhsip a calf if in their own mind it is better?
Why would Propeht Moses punish them for their actions...

Defence of the Faith,defence of GOD.
But you wish to not see it the same way..

It seems you follow your own faith,man made,
Again,you seek GOD love bu not follow GOD laws..

you may know this, but i do not. you have answers. i have questions that have no answers, and i like that because i like questions better than answers.
though i believe in god, i don't understand the need for religion and i can't imagine god belonging to any, let alone any religion having a monopoly on god.
i am just stating my beliefs - not advocating them.

There is no law that says when one vocally insults your religion you act with violence.

I believe that G-d will accept others that follow the seven laws even if they do not know they are following the Torah laws for non-Jews, but that is irrelevant. I believe one religious system was G-d made and other were not, but many agnostics, christians, and other beliefs would disagree. I was just pointing that out.

Salaam,

[PIE]5. Sacrificing to false gods was a capital crime in the Old Testament (Exodus 22:20).

7. Blasphemy, or cursing God, warranted the death penalty (Leviticus 24:10-16,23)

8. The false prophet, specifically one who tried to entice the people to idolatry, was to be executed (Deuteronomy 13:1-11), as were the people who were so influenced (Deuteronomy 13:12-18).

[/PIE]

So tell me,when you say there is no law,would you deny the above?


Can you tell me,does blashemy be considered as "insult" or maybe "cursing GOD"..

There are 3 laws there,,with the verses required.

I would say that you are going to go by your own way,i would name you as a moderate Judaist...on who follow the religon os his heart and chooses which laws to follow and which to not.

Just like moderate muslim who say that Islam is archaic and the Quran need to be chaged.

Not there a thought,do you think your torah should be chaged to allow gays and lesbian a priest?

An intersting site..
http://www.glbtjews.org/article.php3?id_article=328

http://www.glbtjews.org/article.php3?id_article=368

[PIE]The Conservative Rabbinical Assembly’s Law Committee announced nearly three months ago that Conservative Judaism will ordain homosexual rabbis, and while a lot of ink was spilled explaining this decision and its ramifications, I saw little long-term analysis. This, hopefully will fill that gap. I view the leftward move of Conservative Judaism as a positive development for American Jewry - quite literally, it is the end of the beginning of Judaism in America and now we can finally grow into adulthood as a Jewish community.

Alright first off:

For the crimes mentioned above, they were for Jews, not non-Jews and witnesses were needed, and the criminal had to be told while in the act of commiting the crime it was wrong, for the death penalty to be carried out.

Second:

Conservative Judaism is not a recongnized Halachic movement. It is equal to an Islamic movement that has made a "Fatwa" that pork is Halal.

Orthodox Judaism is the only Jewish movement that follows Jewish law and is recongnized Judaism.

Of course, but Jewish laws on putting people to death to not exist anymore, because the Jewish courts do not exist anymore. When the Moshiach comes he will reestablish this.

If someone tells us a they do not believe in G-d, we shrug and walk away.

As for "Gay Jews", there are "Gay Muslims" to. I can only ask you to read the true and only position of traditional Judaism. Liberal Judaism (reform and conservative) pick and chose what they want to follow so Orthodox opinions are the only reliable ones.

Salaam,

thank for that answer..


[PIE]because the Jewish courts do not exist anymore. When the Moshiach comes he will reestablish this.[/PIE]

So in short when you do not have a court and you hav a book you claim HOLY,you do not follow it.


There forr you are choosing to follow the laws you like but do not follow the law you think do not need.

Would be much appreciated if you can provide the relevant verses that say Judaic laws are suspended till the messiah comes.

[PIE]It is important to note that from the point of view of the practicing Jew, there is no difference between a gezeirah and a Torah mitzvah. Both are equally binding; neither can be disregarded on a whim. The difference is generally in the degree of punishment: a violation of Shabbat was punishable by death under Torah law, while a violation of the gezeirah would result in a less severe punishment.[/PIE]


So are you a practising Judaist?
You you observe the Sabbath?

Did you know the law command your death if you should not.

The Talmud is also a holy book and it tells us somone can only be put to death under Jewish law when the courts exist. They currently do not. Therefore, just like sacrifices on the Temple Mount can no longer be carried out because the Moshiach must rebuild the Temple, we will have to wait for capital punishment in Judaism to resume as well. Yet it only occured when in action about once a few years.

Salaam,

Wow,thank for that but again may i ask the verse/chapter and link?

thanks..

Also if you can,can you tell me what law is still followed and what laws are not to be followed.

And i wonder,,,,you will follow the laws of your BOOK only when your messiah return.
But not before.

Let me speak bluntly,then do you mean you will be a different Jew later than now?
You will be more observant than now?

This messiah shall casue you to follow all LAWS,which you now choose to abandon.

I guess it is a case of a man who takes drugs,he will continue taking it ,,till his parent come to visit,then the parents leaves,he continues again..

Also i find it curious,some Judasit would inovke the law in the torah,that GOD gave the Jews Israel,,,,and the murder and genocide of paletine is right..
But they forget other laws..

Therefore, my philosphy is to follow the laws of Judaism and try to make the world a better place. If someone isnults my religion... so... Big deal. G-d doesn't need me to defend him and his word.

sigh i just realized this is an old thread..

Anyway.. i find it best to defend with facts, evidence etc... or to just ignore.

Its like in school when someone might insult you or your family. Does it matter?

"Yo Mamas so fat....." or similar things are just silly to get upset over.

If it matters to you. Use logic, use evidence, use facts. Dont use anger.

For christians We are taught to attempt to emulate Jesus. Jesus = God.
in the Bible, if you add up the numbers of confirmed killed by his own admission, God kills over 2 million people, Satan kills ten people.

In the Quran by the way, Allah kills 4 people.

So if we are to emulate the God of the bible, it's time for slaughtering people for being ungrateful.

28:80 But those who had been given knowledge said: Woe unto you! The reward of Allah for him who believeth and doeth right is better, and only the steadfast will obtain it.
28:81 So We caused the earth to swallow him and his dwelling-place. Then he had no host to help him against Allah, nor was he of those who can save themselves.

Noah's Son's Death
11:42 And it sailed with them amid waves like mountains, and Noah cried unto his son - and he was standing aloof - O my son! Come ride with us, and be not with the disbelievers. Those who drowned in
the flood were disbelievers.
11:43 He said: I shall betake me to some mountain that will save me from the water. (Noah) said: This day there is none that saveth from the commandment of Allah save him on whom He hath had mercy. And the wave came in between them, so he was among the drowned

Lot's Wife's Death.
66:10 Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves yet betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught against Allah and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with those who enter.

I know i was reading about Noah's wife too, but i cant find the passage.
So perhaps it's only 3 people, as Opposed to the Bibles 2.9 million.

Hey Barney,

not to point out the obvious, but also not to flog a dead horse...

sorry he's dead.

I did post a thread about the Ark which diddnt show up. The jist of it was . After stuffing the 5 million species of the earth of which mayby 700000 are clean, amounting to a total of 10,600,000 animals inside the Ark, the Ark sailed for 40 days and 40 nights. Lets say that each animal only excretes 25 gramms of solid waste. After 40days and 40 nights, the 3000 ton Gopha wood ark is carrying the 10.g million animals, assuming a average size of a butterfly, that means over 300,000cubic meters of animals in the barge the size of a corvette, would have produced waste dozens of times the weight of the ship.

No worries, after two months it crashlands on a mountain and according to genisis, Noah then goes and sacrifices a pair of each clean animal, Cos God loves the smell of roasted Kangaroo.
As he chases the duck-billed platypus and the polar bears around the desert with his axe, thanking God he has only another 7000000 creatures to waste in a sea of Blood for his creator, Noah thinks to himself.

Phew! Good Job im only 600 years old or i might not have the strength for this.
