But, I am is not part of Judaism.
Exodus is a part of Judaism.
It is connected to the passage in Exodus 3:14 in which God gives his name as אֶהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶהְיֶה, Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh, translated most basically as "I am that I am" or "I shall be what I am". In the Hebrew Bible (Exodus 3:14), it is the personal name of God, revealed directly to Moses.

Jesus broke his own commandment.
First he declared he did not come to change the law.
Matthew 5:17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
In his next breath he added two new commandments.
What did Jesus summarize in the 2 new commandments?
Jesus Christ summarized all of God's laws in two great commandments. “'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. ' This is the first and great commandment. And the

What did Jesus think about slavery?
Jesus seemed familiar with the legal realities of slavery, and yet he doesn't seem to make any kind of moral judgement about it. And Paul seems to accept slavery as normal practice in passages like Colossians 3 and Ephesians 6, where Paul gives instructions to both slaves and masters.

Historical records show that Islam and Christianity played an important role in enslavement in Africa. The Arab-controlled Trans-Saharan slave trade helped to institutionalise slave trading on the continent. And during the 'age of expedition', European Christians witnessed caravans loaded with Africans en-route to the Middle East. Others arriving much later in West Africa observed slavery in African societies, leading them to assume that African enslavement was intrinsic to the continent.
For many of these early European explorers, the Bible was not only regarded as infallible, it was also their primary reference tool and those looking for answers to explain differences in ethnicity, culture, and slavery, found them in Genesis 9: 24-27, which appeared to suggest that it was all a result of 'sin'.
In the Genesis passage, Africans were said to be the descendants of Ham, the son of Noah, who was cursed by his father after looking at his naked form. Moreover, in Genesis 10, the 'Table of Nations' describes the origins of the different 'races' and reveals that one of the descendants of Ham is 'Cush' - Cush and the 'Cushites' were people associated with the Nile region of North Africa.
In time, the connection Europeans made between sin, slavery, skin colour and beliefs would condemn Africans. In the Bible, physical or spiritual slavery is often a consequence of sinful actions, while darkness is associated with evil. Moreover, the Africans were subsequently considered 'heathens' bereft of Christianity, although scholars now suggest that Christianity reached Africa as early as the early 2nd century AD and that the Christian communities in North Africa were among the first in the world. However, Europeans doubtlessly refused to acknowledge the relevance of African Christianity as it appeared irreconcilable with the continent's cultural surroundings.

The making of a ‘slave race’
Since the 15th century, religious leaders have cited the passage as the justification for the enslavement of all African people. For almost 500 years, priests taught their flocks that a Hebrew prophet had condemned millions of Africans to slavery becausethey were descended from Ham’s son Canaan. The curse of Ham thus formed the core religious justification for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The curse of Ham entered Islamic thought in the 7th century, as a result of the influence of Christianity, and medieval Muslim scholars drew on Noah’s curse in their work, as the historian David M. Goldenberg has shown. The Koran, however, makes no mention of the curse and Muhummad’s Farewell Address rejects the superiority of white people over black people.
According to this reading of Genesis, God had not only mandated slavery, he had also predestined black people as a “slave race”. In fact, some Christian leaders argued that it was in the Africans’ interests to be enslaved, because their captivity would hasten their conversion, purifying and redeeming their souls in readiness for Judgement Day.
By manacling and herding millions of Africans onto ships bound for the colonies, slave traders and their enabling church leaders and governments had persuaded themselves that they were guiding the “Negroes” out of darkness and into salvation.

That is just a verse that mentions Spirit, water, and blood -- water and blood here referring to the death of Jesus as atonement for sin. Basically it's saying that the Holy Spirit, the blood of Christ, and the water of atonement, all testify in agreement.The verse says nothing about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit being three comaterial, coequal, co-divine persons. That is a level of theological specificity and sophistication that you will not find in the Bible, and which developed over centuries of followers reflecting back on the text and trying to figure out how it all fit in their minds.I mean, church doctrine holds that the author of 1 John also wrote the Gospel of John -- so why, in the Gospel of John, does Jesus say the Father is "greater than I" (John 14:28)? Seems a clear indication that the author of John did not consider Jesus and God coequal.Tl;dr, we read the Trinity into the text; it isn't actually there.
Here is a verse that mentions all three being one and in heaven.
1 John 5:7
There are three in heaven who prove it is true. They are the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. These three are one.

Contemporary scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed, and biblical scholarsand classical historians view the theories of his nonexistence as effectively refuted. Robert M. Price, an atheist who denies the existence of Jesus, agrees that his perspective runs against the views of the majority of scholars. Michael Grant (a classicist and historian) states that "In recent years, no serious scholar has ventured to postulate the non-historicity of Jesus, or at any rate very few have, and they have not succeeded in disposing of the much stronger, indeed very abundant, evidence to the contrary." Richard A. Burridge states, "There are those who argue that Jesus is a figment of the Church's imagination, that there never was a Jesus at all. I have to say that I do not know any respectable critical scholar who says that anymore."

The fact that his legal status is not as a technical mamzer is unrelated to other discussions.

What's your theory?
The Exodus is fiction.
Is there any evidence of Israelites in Egypt?
There is no indication that the Israelites ever lived in Ancient Egypt, and the Sinai Peninsula shows almost no sign of any occupation for the entire 2nd millennium BCE (even Kadesh-Barnea, where the Israelites are said to have spent 38 years, was uninhabited prior to the early 12th century BCE).
Moses is a completely fake fictional character. His myth was a plagiarized account of the deeds of Pharaoh Ahmose (whom the Greeks called Amoses) of Waset (Luxor), who united the people of the Ancient Nile in 1550 bce and liberated the Nile Delta from occupation by the Hyksos, bringing about the era of a New Empire and the restoration of Kemet as the most powerful civilization on Earth.

Ok, so Muslims are being persecuted, slaughtered or genocided and this happens to them regardless of whether they live in a Muslim majority country or not.I don't see how this follows your prior statements that Islam promotes genocide. And with genocide being ethnic cleansing, which ethnicities are the target of Islam's promotion of genocide?
Sunnis and Shia: Islam's ancient schism Main cause of ethnic cleansing.
In countries which have been governed by Sunnis, Shia tend to make up the poorest sections of society. They often see themselves as victims of discrimination and oppression. Sunni extremists frequently denounce Shia as heretics who should be killed. This leads to genocide.

Martyrdom encourages genocide? How do you make that connection?In regards to the Muslim conquests and expansions. Did we genocide the nations we conquered? Do you even know what genocide means?And you still haven't answered the original question. Do people who have genocide baked into their ideology/religion deserve genocide to happen to them?
Genocide is ethnic cleansing.
What is happening to Muslims around the globe? In China they are put into concentration camps, in Myanmar they are slaughtered en masse, in India they have been the targets of systematic pogroms, in Israel along with Christian Palestinians they are mowed down on a daily basis, in Europe and the United States they are subject to increasing demonisation and persecution.
The fate of Muslims in their own homeland is not particularly rosier. From one end of the Muslim world to the next, Muslims – in Iran, Syria, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia in particular – live under tyrannical regimes, ruthless dictators, murderous military juntas, with their most basic civil liberties and human rights denied. In Yemen, they are being slaughtered and subjected to man-made famine by the Saudis and their partners – and if one journalist dared to raise his voice he is chopped up to pieces in his own country’s consulate.

Lest we forget as well, Jesus became His own Father and a bastard child (manzar) through true Hebrew tradition because Joseph was NOT His paternal father!the Hebrew word you are looking for is "mamzer"Joseph's not being the father (suggesting Mary's infidelity) does not automatically mean the child is a mamzer. If she had relations with a non-Jew, the resulting child is not a mamzer.
So the Jews don’t believe Jesus was a Mamzer by their definition. Wouldn’t that bring Jesus one step closer to God?

While studying Islam I ran into his story. Apparently Muhhamed went to the 7th level of heaven and God gave him 50 prayers to give to the Muslims. He went down to the 5th Heaven and told Moses about the 50 prayers.Moses convinced him to jew down the number of prayers, so Moses goes back up to the 7 th heaven and jews them down to 40 then back to Moses who said "too many"This went back and forth several times until Muhhamed with the help of Moses Jewett God down to 5 prayers and then Moses told Muhhamed "Good job" .And that is why Muslims pray 5 times a day now.
Moses did the opposite for the Jews . He first handed them 10 commandments to obey. Then in time came up with 613 more commandments to follow.

Not a happy prospect. There are now 2.2 billion Christians in the world. Islam is on its heels with 1.97 billion. But due to a higher Muslim fertility rate (2.9 children per woman on average, versus 2.6), Pew Research projects that sometime around 2075, Islam will be the world's dominant religion.

Islam. The Muslim conquests were a military expansion on an unprecedented scale, beginning in the lifetime of Muhammad and spanning the centuries, down to the Ottoman wars in Europe.

Whoever created this world is either insane either psychopath, and probably a liar too, and since Christian God fits all of those descriptions, one can conclude he is more likely to exist than some God who is actually good.In this world, people get punished for sins of other people. People get punished and rewarded randomly. There is no karma. There is randomness. There is insanity.Think about it, Hitler had a girlfriend while millions of children, who commited nothing as serious and as wrong as Hitler did, died from cancer and lived much shorter life than Hitler.There is no justice. Some are born with disorders they did nothing to deserve, while some do plenty of evil and live a much better life than those who do no evil. Karma is fake news.Karma doesnt exist because those who are victims of evil did nothing to deserve bad things which happen to them. So think about it.The world is insane, filled with lies and injustice which pretends to be truth and justice, just as Christian God pretends to be good and lies about it in the Bible.World is based on one being suffering so that other enjoys. One animal devouring another. One animal's joy is conditioned upon other being in pain. Total insanity. Its not just with humans. Its everywhere.Christian God is perfect example of God who created this world: a lying insane psychopath!
The Bible is proof God exists and is believed by 2 billion Christians. So does the evil you mentioned exists. The world needs a solution and saviour. Even that was fulfilled in the Bible.

So why has the Bible a book of Alternat Facts fascinated the Western World and kept alive by 2 billion Christians when it was written to preserve the Jewish memory of their history reconstructed on Alternate Facts, Especially when the Bible did not serve the Jews well? The bible concluded in the demise of the Jewish people, Their messiah was crucified by the Romans, Jerusalem destroyed along with their temple followed by 2000 years of persecution and expulsions. It also left a sliver of hope that God would someday restore the Jewish nation to its everlasting glory. But how does that comport with the Christians who see their own salvation and future buried in the same Jewish narrative? . . . . . . . . Harikrish.
Christianity must acknowledge that only the Old Testament – and not the New – maintains its status as inspired by God.[3] Why? Because the New Testament was written after the creation of the Old and, in fact, uses the Old to prove its validity. In other words, when the New Testament contradicts the divinely inspirited Old Testament it bases itself upon, it cannot maintain its own claim of being divinely inspired and infallible.

What do Muslims think of Jesus?
Muslims do not worship Jesus, who is known as Isa in Arabic, nor do they consider him divine, but they do believe that he was a prophet or messenger of God and he is called the Messiah in the Quran. However, by affirming Jesus as Messiah they are attesting to his messianic message, not his mission as a heavenly Christ.
Islam sees Jesus as human, sent as the last prophet of Israel to Jews with the Gospel scripture, affirming but modifying the Mosaic Law.[97][98][51] Mainstream Islamic traditions have rejected any divine notions of Jesus being God, or begotten Son of God, or the Trinity. Popular theology teaches such beliefs constitute shirk (the "association" of partners with God) and thereby a rejection of his divine oneness (tawhid) as the sole unpardonable sin.[99]

How can one be happy when they know that their loved ones are engulfed in burning agony in hell? If you were to be happy in heaven, you would have to not be you.Christians like to say that the whole "burning in hell" stuff is all a metaphor, but if everything that gives Christians an issues is a metaphor, then that gives some credibility issues to everything else.
Jesus stood in a very long line of serious thinkers who have refused to believe that a good God would torture his creatures for eternity. The idea of eternal hell was very much a late comer on the Christian scene, developed decades after Jesus’ death and honed to a fine pitch in the preaching of fire and brimstone that later followers sometimes attributed to Jesus himself. But the torments of hell were not preached by either Jesus or his original Jewish followers; they emerged among later gentile converts who did not hold to the Jewish notion of a future resurrection of the dead. These later Christians came out of Greek culture and its belief that souls were immortal and would survive death.

So I was just normally meditating and offering my blood to the Dark Gods, when suddenly I hear this message speaking in my head:"I am the God of Gods, creator and destroyer of worlds and stars. There is no Hell. There is no Heaven. There is Earth. There are humans. Earth is prison and punishment for humans. But it is punishment caused by humans themselves. It is humans who were given everything on Earth, but they turned Earth into their own hell. Expect nothing from the Gods if you are not worthy. Be careful not to harm people who have magic, for Gods will obey their call for revenge. The only way out of prison called Earth is to prove yourself and turn Earth into paradise. Do not think that Gods exist to serve you. Gods exist to serve themselves first. But you, humans, can become Gods by overcoming the limits you set on yourself, by pleasing Gods."
It appears even your Dark Gods want you to obey God.

How the Jews tricked God.
They got God to make a covenant with Abraham for a piece of foreskin.
The covenant is a promise that God made with Abraham. According to the covenant, God would offer protection and land to Abraham and his descendants, but they must follow the path of God. God then commanded Abraham and his future generations to perform the ritual of circumcision (brit milah) as a symbol of the covenant.
When God realized his mistake he gave the Jews 613 commandments to atone for their trickery.
When that failed God sent his only begotten son Jesus to save them.
Matthew 15: 24 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.” Remember, God chose the Israelite's as his own and He was their God. If you were drawn to God, you didn't remain a Gentile and worship God, you were circumcised as a male and became Jewish.
Christians did a better job by getting God to protect them without the old covenant of circumcision.

Muslims indeed would call that idolatry, myself included. But that's a theological incompatibility, not an incompatibility of values. Calling it a question of morality that goes on a personal and societal level does not make it so.And Muslims reaching the conclusion that worshiping Jesus is idolatry is not one you can confidently say wasn't based on reason. You imply that Muslims lack reason in interpreting the Quran but I feel your explanation for this is lacking.
They all live Quran cannot be helping Muslim countries.
Many Muslim countries suffer from political crises, economic backwardness, weak infrastructure, bad education, lack of competitiveness in science and technology, polluted and badly managed cities and environmental hazards. They are paralyzed by social inequality, injustice toward women, sectarian conflict, extremism, violence and terrorism. Islam's core teachings of peace, justice and compassion are lost in the brutal races for worldly power. Political leaders, religious scholars and intellectuals have mostly failed to stop the internal bleeding in the Muslim world. They have either succumbed to the temptations of power or become irrelevant. While the world powers and the current international system have much to blame for, Muslims themselves have failed to take care of their own.

Despite Christianity's talk of religious prosecution against them, atheists are the most hated group of people in the U.S, acording to Pew research center.I recently came out as an atheist to some people in my social web. I was thinking that nothing would really change. These people knew that I cared about morality, that I donated to charities and spent afternoons volunteering.It turned out, I was wrong. Not only that, but these people, (who I am somehow vastly more biblically literate than) had nothing but the most stupid arguments to defend their beliefs. Things like "you're just angry at god," and "Well now you're going to go to hell." There were also a lot of insults to my intelligence.I'm not opposed to Christianity. I'm just shocked how hateful this community built around love is.The Christians on this stie are quite open minded and well versed on your beliefs. Can y'all please talk some sense into your peers.As much as it pains me, I'm going to keep lying about my faith to my friends in family. The disrespect and I have received from Christians is unbearable.
Christians believe Jesus their God was rejected by Jews and crucified by Romans who did not believe in the divinity of Jesus. It is harder to accept 2 thousand years later the same ignorance exists.
