Idol or G-d: Is truth discernible?

One man's God is the next man's idol! How profound. Just say that and put the next evangelist that tries to save you in a pickle. It reminds me of a comical skit from The State. Old fashioned man proclaims [license taken], “I believe in the one true G-d,” dramatic pause “And his name is Zoro and he is living in that lake,” which is followed by the old fashioned man humorously whistling at the end of the short clip.

I have never heard apologetics from any religion that address this maddening issue, which is that once we establish that there is a G-d, we fall flat on our faces in details, not minor details, but MAJOR DETAILS!, such as what the name of G-d is, but the where, the when, the why, and the how, so I will tell it: The details are up to Gd Himself, not me. However, I have a function too. As a faithful follower of Hashem, my role is to be as His instrument in order that His will may be done. He doesn’t need me to be His instrument, but through His unfathomable ways he has chosen to work through humankind.

Want to know how I came to faith? When I was an atheist at Rutgers, G-d spoke to me and instantaneously I believed. G-d said, "I AM punishing you." There was nothing not to believe about that Voice, and it caused me great joy because I never knew Gd could be capable of retribution, and not only that but that He also cared enough about me enough to speak with me. In my opinion, Hashem chose to speak to me when I was at my lowest because I felt like I had nothing to lose. I would try anything. Had he spoken to me in less dire circumstances, I may have brushed it off without changing. That is how I feel about folks when I tell them about G-d and they roll their eyes or deny that He has spoken with me. Like me in the good times, I expect that they wouldn’t change a thing.

Jesus in Question: Worshiping Snakes?

http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/virgin-birth-confirmed-world-s-longest-snake-species

Why is it that when so many creatures are capable of a virgin birth, Christians believe that a virgin birth is evidence that Mary was impregnated with the Messiah, G-d?

Jews say the New Testament contains a misinterpretation of the prophets in scripture, and that virgin birth meant that Moshiach would be born of a young monogamous woman in wedlock.

What is so different between the virgin birth between a snake and a human that with the snake the conclusion drawn with the idea is, "That is neat trivia," while in the case of Jesus it is evidence to a Christian claim that he is a deity.

Based upon Christian reasoning; why shouldn't we worship this snake as a Gd (the one at the website above)?

If Mary underwent parthenogenesis how can we determine the exact nature of this rarity to question if either of the snake or the human was conceived by a different mechanism?

From reading Torah I conclude that Gd doesn't want me worshipping any snakes because it is forbidden to worship that which is incarnate in the world; be it a rock, a snake, or Jesus.

In defense of the Torah: Rebellious Sons, and Their Punishment. Part 1

~ “Put to death the rebellious son.” - Moses

Maimonides counted the command relative to this as 106 (Leviticus 19:26, Deuteronomy 21:20).

The definition of a rebellious son is who is, “Stubborn, gluttonous, and an alcoholic.”  In modern times, drunkard should be inclusive of a son who has an illegal drug addiction.  To put to death a rebellious son is an obligation, meaning it is a good deed or mitzvah, yet this is something that courts of justice would have to support in order for it to be legal in the USA.  It is a command specifically for Jews and not gentiles.  However, I support gentiles adhering to this particular verse.  I am a Judaizer, which of course is forbidden according to Christians, but hopefully Christians will change for the better.

The following is text of the idea in question.  It is quoted from the 1917 JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Corrected Bible.  This Bible is free to download at www.sacred-texts.com

From Deuteronomy (JPS):

21:18 If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, that will not hearken to the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and though they chasten him, will not hearken unto them;

21:19 then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

21:20 and they shall say unto the elders of his city: 'This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he doth not hearken to our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.'

21:21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die; so shalt thou put away the evil from the midst of thee; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
