Hello Simon Peter. I firstly wanted to ask about the possibility of linking Bible Wiki articles on Judiams wiki, and perhaps vice versa.

Secondly, I wanted to discuss and ask you if you were aware that Judaism was not the original religion of Ancient Israel ? The term "Judaism" or "Jew" actually comes from the root word of the nation of "Judah". Judaism has also multiple differences from the religion documented in the Old Testament such as the usage of non-biblical sacred texts. The most significant difference is that Judaism incorporates others laws surrounding the law given by God, to help comply with it. Before the nation of Judah split with Israel and developed their own religion, the religion that was practiced, named based on root word etymology was Yahwism. This is an actual word which according to Yourdictionary.com is “Yahwism” (Yah'-wism) is a term used to refer to the worship of the One Almighty Sovereign Eternal Creator Power of Israel, who named Himself YHWH “Yahweh”. When searching for Yahwism it seems to be the religion that ancient Israel practiced, however, asides from that specific term it is widely believed amongst Jews and Christians alike (I only found this out recently) that it is not Judaism that is the original but Yahwism.

This is something heavily, heavily under-documented. This does not make Judaism a pagan religion, as it worships the same God in Yahwism and in Christianity. Where our points of view differ, is concerning the Messiah. In the New Testament the Pharisees were Jewish (practicing Judaism), Paul was Jewish as well. Jesus Christ was not a practitioner of Judaism, he belonged to the ethnic groups of "Jews" and obeyed biblical law but did not practice the laws from sacred texts outside of the Bible. My point in this message was to see if you were aware of this, and to help me in my quest to making this more widely known to the Internet public through Judaism and Religion Wiki. This is something heavily unknown to the public and something I wanted to make known to you and an extension in help with the tools you have to let this be known.
