Question

Is it true that Einstein is Jewish so maybe he doesn't like the new testament?

Answer 1

So what you are saying is:  Einsten=Jewish + New Testament = Hatred of Christians??

Ergo, taking this conclusion to the next level.  That might give you a valid reason to distrust and maybe hate (hope that is not the case)

Peace.

Answer 2

yes he's Jewish.

Answer 3

Einstein is dead so why does he care.

Answer 4

liking and believing are 2 different things baby...a smart man like him would have loved the good in everything and believed in what was supported by evidence..

Answer 5

*Palms forehead* He's a DEAD pantheist.

Answer 6

He is a pantheist, like I am. His quotes on god reflects my revelations I had on scared mushrooms.

Answer 7

Einstein was as Jewish as I am.

Answer 8

Einstein was Jewish, but he's been dead for about 50 years.  FYI, what Christians calls the New Testament is in fact the Jewish Bible.  Why do you think Einstein didn't like it?  He disproved the religious account of the origin of the earth, but no sensible person takes that literally anyway.

Answer 9

Albert Einstein the physicist? Yes he was Jewish, but he's been dead for many years. The other answerers who've stated he was a pantheist are correct.

Albert Brooks, who is a well-known character actor but whose biggest role was doing the voice of Marlin in 'Finding Nemo', is also called Albert Einstein...

Answer 10

"To what extent are you influenced by Christianity?"

"As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene."

"Have you read Emil Ludwig's book on Jesus?

"Emil Ludwig's Jesus," replied Einstein, "is shallow. Jesus is too colossal for the pen of phrasemongers, however artful. No man can dispose of Christianity with a bon mot."

"You accept the historical existence of Jesus?"

"Unquestionably. No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life. How different, for instance, is the impression which we receive from an account of legendary heroes of antiquity like Theseus. Theseus and other heroes of his type lack the authentic vitality of Jesus."

"Ludwig Lewisohn, in one of his recent books, claims that many of the sayings of Jesus paraphrase the sayings of other prophets."

"No man," Einstein replied, "can deny the fact that Jesus existed, nor that his sayings are beautiful. Even if some them have been said before, no one has expressed them so divinely as he."

Answer 11

As a Jew, Einstein would not have observed the New Testament at all, Jews only follow the Torah and the Talmud. Jews do not believe Jesus was the Messiach, The main subject of the New Testament is Jesus.  

Answer 12

No.  That is not true.  As a young boy in Germany, Einstein was inspired to observe Jewish religious practices, but as he grew more fascinated by science, his interest in organized religion faded.
