Is Spinozism a form of Judaism?

[gringo300]

Maybe some Jews will say that there is one true Judaism and then various pseudo-Judaisms.

Probably people of other religious belief systems will say the same thing about their religious belief system.

Perhaps the appropriate question is: Do Spinozists consider Spinozism to be Judaism and/or a form of Judaism?

[markedward]

Why not find a Spinozist and ask them? Seems like an easier solution to me, as opposed to asking a crowd of Christians who (probably) have never before heard of Spinozism.

In no way a form of Judaism

Spinoza was a philosopher whose ideas were soundly rejected (even excommunicated) by the orthodox Jewish community in the 1950s. Spinoza denied the immortality of the soul and strongly rejected the idea of a providential God, specifically, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He claimed that the Law was neither literally given by God nor any longer binding on Jews.

Spinoza believed in the existence God, but that God is impersonal and abstract. He also equated nature with God in many of his writings.
