    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    His emphasis did not include a rebuke to his own for not washing before eating, for being homeless essentially, water is not always easy to find, even grey water which is undrinkable...these kind of things were so unimportant that to wash the outside of the cup was considered moot, at least in...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    NT is as reliable as OT, having the same mechanics as OT canon, the same idea that original revelation of the authors is primal, and that commentary on the original is just that, commentary on the original experience the disciples had. Paul was a Pharisee, and apparently a higher up, having...

    Christians: Why Trinitarians are really polytheists

    Do you have the Spirit Baptism, sir? What was it like for you?

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    Yes deeds are more important than what you got in your bean...you can even know what you are supposed to do, and don't do it, creating more havoc in your life. I did appreciate that for a Jew action speaks louder than words. Faith is not without action, and belief and action are ideally cause...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    Do you understand the Shema is the Great Law? The scribe who confronted Jesus in Mk 12 knew it. Did not Rosends say he was proud to be a Pharisee? THIS Pharisee knew more than the both of you. Do you really think your version of Judaism is the SAME as the Pharisees in Jesus' day? One common...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    When in Rome...but they were Jews at heart, and a true Jew puts their own God first and foremost. Taxes may hinder, but incense to other gods, never.

    Was I sprechen Hebrew, sir which I do not know?

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    You can do what you want to, but I've no compunction to uphold lesser Law. However as YHWH Elohim is also God of the nations, who created every living thing...His primal Law is for every human born. All will be judged both Jew and Gentile. And Gentiles who were never told Law will still be...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    So you say, but Abrahamics who reside here who are also Jesus followers will differ significantly in their POV as to what Law really is...and the Pharisees legitimately wanted first to be reinforced, not rebuked or having their own "authority" taken away. Part of that rebuke was that their...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    I agree with you, but this God's first command is to love Him with all. This actually implies the Love Covenant, that which Law He gave at the same time the Land of Milk and Honey was given. The Command was reiterated by Jesus, but was known to be the Greatest Command by the scribe also, in two...

    Christians: Why Trinitarians are really polytheists

    Lots of guts in there. Some amount of fesces. What else in there you want me to look at? Blood? Brains? DNA? Oh, that proverbial KI? Chakra emplacement? Kundalini rising? Nirvana suppressed? Power in horse stance? What? Yin and Yang? Go with the flow? All flow is to the other end, sir. Eat and...

    Christians: Why Trinitarians are really polytheists

    Yeah, in the clouds on a white horse...all these IN YOU, oh God. Pantheism personified. How quaint. And hippy dippy. Even the trumpets ablowing are in you too. Even the holy host which will accompany...all these IN you, since all things are one. Yeah, I been there, done that one. Didn't make...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    Give unto Caesar what is his due. But what is not his due is any abrogation of God's primal Law. Taxes were said to give unto him. Not our hearts and souls. Every Jew under the sun and under Roman occupation knew this. You might be smudging a most important concept, assuming secular Law and...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    All Law comes from a relational, and reciprocal love of God. To say otherwise, is to be foolish for any man, especially the Jew to whom the Word of God came. Hand washing has an indirect relationship, as per common sense. God SAID to do this, love him with all of your being. BEING the Hardest...

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    Quasi-hippy rhetoric do not behoove me. I am somewhat surprised you even call yourself a Christian, and if you aren't one, maybe shouldn't be on a same faith debate. Jesus said to the canaanite woman, "..it is not right to feed the children's bread to the dogs." To the Samaritan woman, again...

    Christians: Why Trinitarians are really polytheists

    The Son is alive and well at the Right Hand, literally next to God. This man glorified is truly among us as the Paraclete, and will come again to rule all principalities, powers and even bad angels.

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    Nothead knows peace like a piece of pie. A grafted in dog himself, appreciates the Jew POV, though. True Jew, aspiring ones here. Including the blood ones. True Israel, true Jew. "Salvation is of the Jews," sayeth Jesus to the Samaritan woman. No mistake, he was true Jew.

    For Jews or Christians: Why Shema means what a Jew says

    Em, the Pharisaical penchant for putting too much weight on the mundane laws? Yes, the question is, how many times DO YOU wash your hands, sir? They accused Jesus' own disciples of not washing. How many times DO YOU wash your hands sir? Don't you think if you doubled it, twice as holy? Triple...
