The quote attributed to Harold Wallace Rosenthal does not align with mainstream Jewish beliefs, as Judaism reveres the God of Abraham and Moses, not Lucifer. Jews, along with Christians, believe in a God of love and morality, and race and ethnicity inform but do not fundamentally alter these religious beliefs.
The statement attributed to Harold Wallace Rosenthal does not reflect mainstream Jewish beliefs or teachings. The concept of God in Judaism is centered on the God of Abraham, Moses, and the prophets as represented in the Hebrew Bible. Judaism considers this God to be the creator of the universe, omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent, sharply contrasting with any figure such as Lucifer.
Jews and Christians both believe in a loving God, one who has chosen them as His people and interacts with humanity in a personal and moral way. The difficulties in understanding divine judgment, mercy, and the nature of God's relationship with humanity is a deep theological matter, variously interpreted within these faiths. Neither Judaism nor Christianity identify their God with Lucifer, a figure traditionally seen in Christian theology as a fallen angel and a personification of evil.
Race and Ethnicity also play a role in shaping religious beliefs and identities, but do not alter the core tenets of a faith. The quote in question appears to be a provocative statement that does not align with accepted religious doctrine. Religious communities often hold tight to their traditions and beliefs, as Jewish customs have persisted throughout history due to a strong sense of loyalty and compassion within the community, despite adversity and external pressures.
