so you believe you have some sort of potential power which would allow you power, gratification and control if you decided you wanted to exercise it? That's certainly a delusion-like belief.
You are completely lost. Where do you think the commandments are rrecorded?
Some written by, some inspired by God.
What are you talking about?
No they aren't. Not chronologically or in any other way.
I'm talking about the language which records the events, not a translation of it.
Like...
My point is that you admitted to lying.
So unable. Got it.
I took your words. I didn't make anything up. You used the word, and you said your goal was to assist. Therefore, unless you are lying again, you used that word to assist. Correct?
I can't answer that until you rewrite it in English...
Yeah...some other stuff happened as well, including commandments.
Authority has to be "given" to the Torah? OK, so in order of importance we have
Jewish law
then
everything else.
Hope that helps.
Actually not and the text never calls them commandments.
Then, again, you don't know the content...
Sure you did. I gave a text that said that Levites, priests and judges are the authority and you are saying not to follow that. You are also saying that no rational person would accept them as authority so you are saying that any and every observant Jew is not rational just for following what...
So now you admit breaking the rules and admit that your claim that you didn't call me a name was a lie. OK.
Unwilling or unable?
So calling someone a loser was designed to assist? Interesting.
Telling someone who asks about a Jewish notion of a messianic idea that he doesn't know what that...
So you are saying others ignore what the text says the way you do?
So you are ignoring that every word has meaning and value? A person can write anything not be held accountable for what he wrote? How did I attack you by pointing out your errors?
all of this which avoids that you called me a...
OK, but I am under the authority of the priests, Levites and judges as dictated by the text. If you are advocating ditching the text, I can't support that.
Actually, we haven't. You keep bringing up the biblical events and somehow trying to connect them to politics (which is what this forum is for).
I am an expert in Judaism. This is a politics board. Are you tying your feelings about Jews to you comments about Israel? In that case, you have made...
And listing who the interpretive and application experts are to help understand and use the law. That's in the text.
No. What are you talking about? Not only haven't I condemned Jews before (so "again" is an unnecessary lie and attack) but by saying that the text applies to Jews and not...
So the text says it but you deny it. Got it.
No. The text is for Jews.
You don't like when you are proven wrong so you call me names. One would think that that is wrong on this website...
Post 482: "Now if you would like a separate, theologically based discussion of why there was the biblical injunction then that would be great. This is a subforum for political discussions. Let me know when you want to discuss theology in a religion sub-space."
Clearly you don't. You didn't even...
Is that a precondition for any country's flag? Does a flag have to represent every part of every society? Do you think the other religions in those other 63 countries were consulted?
The two symbols have been removed because the groups they represent no longer exist. The USSR was disbanded. The...
Sure it matters. It means you don't know what you are talking about.
These were the dictates of God, making this a theological discussion. I have asked if you want to start a thread to discuss the theological implications of divine commandments, and the morality question, but you seem reluctant...
but you believe that in Israel, a country in which a variety of religions, races and ethnicities are represented on all levels, it IS a problem, as 'evidenced' by its flag?
what is reality to you is a lie to others. People buying into the lies are much like ostriches wearing blinders and then putting their heads in the sand.
so to clarify -- you assert that any country that has a religious symbol on its flag is not a country that embraces multi-culturalism?
Your statement was "you only have to look at the national flag, how many religious symbols do you see?"
Not "you have to look at the many variables regarding...
