Is that...
The "spirituality" you perceive to be contained within the book you hold to be "sacred"...
Can also be found within the teachings of...
-- The Bhagavad'gita...
-- The Rig Veda...
-- The Koran...
-- The Tao of Bhuddism...
And any other religious belief system in the world.
However...
The "spirituality" which YOU perceive to be "true"...
Is entirely Subjective...
And therefore...
It is defined by your own "understanding" of it.
And...
Because of this aspect of Subjectivity...
Your "understanding" may not (and more often then not Won't)...
Coincide (or agree) with the "understanding" of anyone else.
However...
While there is no denying that the Bible is chock-FULL of Historical Content...
The Historical Accuracy of the Bible...
Is Central to the belief system OF...
-- Traditional Christianity.
And, therefore...
-- It IS a Valid Topic for Debate.
As for the modern "Nation" of Israel today...
There are many Jews in the Diaspora who believe that...
It was Created by... Man.
Not... God...
And, therefore...
Does not fulfill Biblical Prophesy...
Neither...
-- In the Physical world...
Nor...
-- In any form of "spiritual" context...
-- We might contrive and desire to impose upon it.
Meanwile...
The label of "Democratic Nation"...
Can be applied to Israel...
-- Nominally, at best.
Israel uses a "party-list proportional representation" system...
Prior to a national election each party holds an internal election to draft a party list showing who will sit in any Knesset seats it wins during the national election. Ideally this list should contain a full 120 names. As an example, if Likud won 23 seats during a national election those individuals at positions 1-23 on the Likud party list would be granted the seats in the Knesset.-- source
As for the "communities" they are trying to "build"...?
In their effort to claim land upon which to build those "communities"...
-- The Israeli Government is committing Genocide against the Palestinian People.
And, finally, this idea of "man" being "formed" into the "Image and Likeness of God"...
Is nothing more than "esoteric" gibberish.
Science tells us that everything is composed of... Energy.
And, Matter is merely Energy waiting to be released.
Before the "Beginning of Time"...
-- The very moment prior to the Big-Bang...
There existed only one thing... Pure Energy.
And...
While Science can't tell us how it happened... (yet)...
Somehow...
Some OF that Pure Energy...
-- Condensed...
And...
It became...
-- Our Material (i.e. Containing Matter) Universe.
At the "End of Time"...
All of the Energy...
-- Currently at rest within the Matter...
-- of which, our Physical Universe is composed...
Will have been Released...
And...
When there is no Matter left...
Once again...
There will be only ONE "entity" in existence...
-- Call it "god" if you so desire but...
That "Entity" will be composed entirely of... Pure Energy.
So, you see...
The Lord your God is ONE...
There is No "Other".
And...
Everything that IS...
Is composed of...
-- The substance of that ONE.
And so...
YOU ARE... A Part OF... God.
But...
In the Physicality of this Material Existence...
YOU ARE... Apart FROM... God.
As are we all.
-- Believer and non-believer alike.
Allllll are a part of the ONE that IS.
We are Alllll a Part OF... God.
And...
From whence we came...
Eventually...
Allll shall Return.
The End...
Shall be...
As it was...
In the Beginning...
The Lord your God is ONE...
There is No "Other".
However...
This explanation isn't some sort of "mystical esoterica"...
Available only to a fortunate few, "enlightened" mind/body/souls...
This is merely the stuff of Science at it's most basic levels.
Open your eyes...
See the Universe for what it Really IS...
And then...
-- Perhaps...
You might begin to understand...
-- Your small part in it.
