Anathema is a thing devoted to utter destruction.
This is what your Churches are devoted for with idols of your almost naked god and a young Jewess virgin girl of about 12 to 16years old.

None of these are taught by Holy Torah and the Prophets.
Why you are so much interested in labelling others when your own identity was given by people of Antioch.
Do you know who these Antioch people were who labeled you with such a polytheistic name and you happily adopted it?

I have know a few people of the Jewish faith over my 43 years in this world and never have I know one( even those that do not practice there faith) that no less of the Jewish faith than you.
also from wikipedia:
Anathema (in Greek Ανάθεμα) meaning originally something lifted up as an offering to the gods; later, with evolving meanings, it came to mean:
- to be formally set apart,
- banished, exiled, excommunicated or
- denounced, sometimes accursed

The original meaning of the Greek word, as used in non-Biblical Greek literature, was an offering to a god. Herem meant something ‘forbidden’ or ‘off limits.’ The Hebrew word was used in verses such as Leviticus 27:28 to refer to things offered to God, and hence ‘off limits’ to common (non-religious) use. Because the Greek word anathema meant things offered to God, it was used to translate the Hebrew word herem in such contexts. Thus, the meaning of the Greek word anathema, under the influence of its association with the Hebrew word herem, was eventually taken as meaning ‘set apart,’ (like herem) rather than ‘an offering to god,’ as it had meant in Greek, and eventually the word came to be seen as meaning ‘banished’ and to be considered beyond the judgment and help of the community. Unfortunately within the English language one does not find such a single term. To use the term ‘curse’ alone suggests dark powers and magical arts, which are forbidden in the Judeo-Christian societies in which the word was used.
In Greek usage, an anathema was anything laid up or suspended; hence anything laid up in a temple or set apart as sacred. In this sense the form of the word was once (in plural) used in the Greek New Testament, in Luke 21:5, where it is rendered ‘gifts’. It is used similarly in the Book of Judith, where it is translated as ‘gift to the Lord’. In the Septuagint the form anathema is generally used as the rendering of the Hebrew word herem, derived from a verb which means (1) to consecrate or devote; and (2) to exterminate. Any object so sacrificed or devoted to the Lord could not be redeemed (Numbers 18:14; Leviticus 27:28-29); and hence the idea of exterminating was connected with the word. The Hebrew verb (haram) is frequently used of the extermination of idolatrous nations. It had a wide range of application. The anathema or herem was a person or thing irrevocably devoted to God (Leviticus 27:21, KJV); and “none devoted shall be ransomed. He shall surely be put to death” (KJV). The Hebrew word therefore carried the idea of devoted to destruction (Numbers 21:2-3; Joshua 6:17); and hence a majority of scholars have treated the word anathema similarly, generally as meaning a thing accursed. For example, in Deuteronomy 7:26 an idol is called a herem = anathema, understood to mean a thing accursed. There is, however, an alternative view that the Greek word ‘anathema,’ in these passages, was used by the Greek Septuagint translators to mean “offered up to God.” . I see no reference to total destruction.

Actually they are a belief system. If you are being honest about what you are saying you believe. You would. Be considred to be following the Traditional/Conservadox system.
Who is your Rabbi?
It does not say who first called them Christians. It might have been the leaders at the synagogue it might have been some gentiles who didn’t want them there.
You say you follow only what the Torah teaches. So are you still partaking in the sacrificial system? If so where do you do this? Do you adhere strictly to the Laws of Moses?

Why do you hate the Catholic faith so much. Are you trying to convert people to your form of Judaism? What have the Catholics done to you to make you so angry?
Actually you seem to care very much what I am and what I believe. You keep asking where they name Christian came from and where teh Term The Way came from… so you do care a lot.

So you Patrice only the faith as taught in the Torah? I find that hard to believe as to do so requires the sacrifice of animals that from what know can not be done at this time as there is no Temple. Nor is the Levite Priesthood active. So how could you Practice the Faith of the Torah?

Aaronjo is not a Jew, he is a Muslim that always adopts false identities and multiple nicks to avoid being banned. He has already been banned here 3 times so far. LOL
Like other Muslims, he is not a dangerous guy, his allegations being always fallacious.

I know I have talked to him before. I was trying to get him to explain which sect of Judaism he adhere’s to but he can’t even do that. I have never met a Jewish man or woman who was unwilling to tell me what sect they followed.
It would be like asking a Muslim are you Sunni or Shite.

**I am calling moderators to action. They should NOT let aaronjo continue his dishonest act of pretending to be Jewish whereas he is apparently a follower of pagan Mohammad. **

I asked many Christians what is your denomination or sect? They replied: No denominaiton…just Christians. I asked again are you a Catholic or SDA or…? They say: no…Just Christians.
In the same way, I am just a Jew but a moderate one.

I do care, I never said I didn’t. I don’t hate the Jews. I care for them. I pray for them and the Peace of Jerusalem daily. I am not trying to convert them.Why do you hate the Jewish faith so much. Are you trying to convert people to your form of polytheistic Christianity? What have the Jews done to you to make you so angry? Inquisition?

I do care what sect you are because it helps in dialogue to understand where you are coming from. I have studied Judaism and I know what the different sects believe and teach. I have never had a discussion with a true Jewish man or woman that was ever heated or angry. I am not sure where you get that I am angry at any Jewish person. I don’t think I have said one thing against the Jews. You however keep attacking Catholics and their faith. Why?
The Inqusition? Are you realling going there? That was over a 1000 years ago and I had nothing to do with it. Did horrible things happen yes, I feel for the people who did die during that time. But don’t try to blame me for something I have no control over.

You think we should simply forget what had happened to our Jewish brothers so many years ago and let Jews get converted to polytheist Christianity and call for Anathema?
Simply because Inquisition had happened so many years ago, does not mean it will not happen again if Catholic church re-gain the power.
I am here to protect my Jewish brothers and sisters’ faith in Judaism., as we have already lost millions of precious Jewish lives throughout the Christian bloody history.
