Judaism

Judaism professes belief in the One God, the adherents of this religion believe that God is one and that God was represented to Jews by Abraham who considered to be forefather of Jewish nation and Jewish monotheism. Abraham called the God as God Eloah which is literary mean God Almighty. In 1900 B.C. those who followed after Abraham settled on the other coast of Euphrates and some of the historians believes that name of the nation is derivative of Greek "ever" which is translated as "other side" meaning those who lives on the other bank of river. There are also scientists that believe that the name of religion is deviant of Greek "ioudaismo" and was used by Greek-lingual Jews who wanted to distinct their faith from the Greek one. Judaism is the most important component of Jews civilization as the main idea of Judaism is that Jews are special nation and has its higher destination and that thought helped Jews to unity back every time as they lost their political, territorial or social wholeness, this idea of higher destination keeps Jews together as unite nation what ever happens.

Judaism implies faith in the One God and combines different moral, ethical, historical and cultural aspects. According to Judaism one must lead appropriate to God life not only because God wants us to do it but mostly because leading such life means glorification of the God. There are a lot of borrowed rituals and traditions in Judaism but all of those traditions were modified and changed according to Jewish religion so that they even have lost their authentic meanings. For example Jewish Easter is the day when Jews celebrate liberation of Egyptian slavery and the authentic meaning (vernal harvest) was disposed. The same replacement of authentic meaning by strictly Jewish we may notice in ceremony of circumcision. At first it was ceremony that signified the beginning of pubertal period of the boy, but according to Jewish faith this ceremony is performed right after baby's birth and means entering to covenant once made by God and Abraham.

Judaists have their Holly Pentateuch that consists of Genesis, the Book of Exodus, the Levites, the Numbers and the Book of Deuteronomy. This Pentateuch contains the Torah – code of God's laws that are obligatory of no doubt. Besides each book has its peculiar meaning and function. Genesis describes the history Jew nation from the very beginning. It tales about Abraham's birth and birth of his sons and sons of his sons, about emancipation of Egyptian slavery, about settlement on the other side of Euphrates and so on and so forth. Judaists have no discrimination to "Before Christ" and "Anno Domini" as they don't believe in Coming of Christ as a result they don't believe in Second Coming as they sure that God has never been here yet but he will for sure.
