By prohibitions i mean what i believe are rabbinical prohibitions..like putting a fence arounf the Torah with rabbinical prohibitions that are not commandments like touching money on shabbos, or tearing toilet paper.I need to get the house and dinner ready but hope to have time later to read up more as these posts are incredibly loooooong and much to go thru to get to the parts that are of concern to me. Have a good night and Shabbos and sorry for taking up too much time. Glad you're not a rabbi since i'd just find fault in you if you were :P

To answer your question about intermarriage it is not a rabbinic commandment but a Torah commandment as we pointed to the actual pasuk which forbids a Jew from marrying a non-Jew. Of course if the gentile converts (and he is not from a people who the Torah forbids (such as Moabite men)) then the marriage is permitted.

We dont know anyone from that people today. All the nations are mixed thus the majority takes over and this nation doesn't exist no more.

--- Quote from: Dan Ben Noah on November 29, 2012, 07:21:50 PM ---I just checked the Mishneh Torah laws of repentance, and it does mention that a Jew changing his name is one way of saying that they are a new person when they have repented of a sin. However I did not see anything requiring converts to change their names when they become Jews.

I said the reason perhaps why they would and they do. Because its the same concept of becoming new people. Also with converts they usually have non-Jewish names beforehand but are then given a Jewish name like the rest of Am Yisrael (a question can be asked in situations where non-jews already have jewish names- for example Sarah or Leah or David).
Tag-MehirTzedek:
Its Rabbinic prohibition for a Jew to be with a gentile And the punishment if lashes. BUT it is Deorita (from the Torah which is more strict) to not marry a gentile, the prohibition is even more severe.
