    Why "one God"?

    Yes, but what makes people believe there's only one god? There isn't just one of anything in the universe we know of. Plurality seems to be the rule.

    Why did the blood have to touch people?

    Yes that doesn't say what Hebrews says :)

    Why would Paul never reference Gamaliel's teachings?

    The portion of the Mishna called the Pirke Avot contains sayings from Gamaliel. They're nothing like the ideas Paul taught. Not only that, but Paul's rhetoric is more Hellenistic, not very Pharasaic.

    Who caused Satan or the devil rebel

    Possibly Satan rebelled for one of the oldest reasons on earth: peace and quiet was just too boring :p

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    I know that Aristotle's teaching in Charmides was to impress a young man.

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    That may have been Plato's opinion :D

    Is being gay a sin according to your religion?

    Hellenic Polytheism, quite the contrary to being against homosexuality, is actually all for it. The ancient Greeks more or less accepted that most people are a varying degree bisexual. Some people are one or the other. Its not a sin because the gods have enough with their own sex lives to be...

    Why did the blood have to touch people?

    I think it could be argued from the gospels alone that Jesus wasn't necessarily teaching to keep the law, but he definitely taught to follow his teachings: 'why say to me Lord, Lord, and not do the things I am saying?' What Paul did was make it about believing Jesus died for sins.

    Why did the blood have to touch people?

    The fact remains that Hebrews flat out rewrites the Torah for whatever theological agenda the author had.

    Why did the blood have to touch people?

    I won't sugar coat it. I'm like Thomas Jefferson. I think Paul was a fraud and an opportunist.

    Why would Paul never reference Gamaliel's teachings?

    Paul claimed to be a Pharisee, and Acts claims he was a student of the Jewish father Rabbi Gamaliel. Why than would Paul never once make reference to anything the Rabbi taught him? That isn't the way of a serious Jewish learner at all. The Mishna says that a good student is like a cistern that...

    That pertains to what I pointed out how exactly?

    Why did the blood have to touch people?

    @Simplelogic Kinda interesting how Paul's a Pharisee, yet he never mentions anything Gamaliel taught him huh? ;) Wheras the Mishna says a good student is like a cistern that loses not a drop of master's teaching.
