You don't need to be ethnically Jewish, only convert. under the orthodox rules and regulations

Even in reformed Judaism convert Jews are liable not to be taken seriously.

That girl I was telling you about earlier was told plenty of times that she wasn't a "real Jew," on account of looking like a Norse Goddess.

Of course, dating a goy didn't help her either.

That's not right, the Bible and the Talmud stresses heavily how converts are to be treated as if they were Jews and to be given special respect and protection from god, as Kesuvos puts it Haisai es Ocehl hah Tam Asor since they have tasted forbidden and indeed chose Judaism.

Lastly among Orthodox Judaism since no one trust anyone's conversions it's a bit hard to maneuver.... seeing as.... how do I say this..... copulating with a non-Jew is right next to murder.

Would the children of a Ger Tzedek be consider Ger Tzedek or as Jewish as any ethnic Jew?

Not many converts can reach the status of Ger Tzedek and is usually rewarded after the death of said Ger Tzedek.

So a child of a regular Ger would be a as Ethnic a Jew as they come, even if the Ger claims to have 're-converted' once a Jew, forever a Jew.

That's not right, the Bible and the Talmud stresses heavily how converts are to be treated as if they were Jews and to be given special respect and protection from god, as Kesuvos puts it Haisai es Ocehl hah Tam Asor since they have tasted forbidden and indeed chose Judaism.

Does it count if I only got a finger into her? (well, two or three...)

I assume the status of such a person and their physical relations in a non-Jew can be discussed on the other thread (I really think we should merge the two to create a Judeao-Christian Discussion thread..... but I digress).

We would have to discuss over TG or something else, also I would have to do some more reading.... but if you..... they... have children and she was converted appropriately the children would be Jewish.

I'm no reindeer expert but if they have split hooves and chew their cud they are Kosher.

And they do chew cud...

Also, just as an aside, all of the ones on Santa's slay are chicks. That's probably relevant to Christianity somehow.

Really? But deer have cloven hooves.

I said they are Kosher but there are two different categories of kosher mammals.

A wild animal, and a Domesticated animal.

They each have different laws.

They did done diggity do.

For instance if I ritually slaughtered a deer I would have to cover its blood.

If I did similar to a Cow, I would not.

The underlined business is demonstrably wrong. Trinitarian interpretation was never as weak as it was early in Christian history.

Erm, it isn't circular reasoning. It's stating the same answer because the person asking the question is repeating the same question.


No, it's definitely circular - you're arguing that Christians have to believe in the Trinity, because Christians have to believe in the Trinity.

Which, given that 'trinity' doesn't even appear in the scripture, seems like quite a claim.
