John Kasich to Orthodox Jews: Abraham, not Moses, the star of the Torah

[Olog-hai]

John Kasich bantered with Haredi Orthodox Jews about which biblical figure was most significant and other lessons from the Jewish Bible. […]

“The story of the people are Abraham and God made a covenant with Abraham — not Moses!” Kasich told Ezra Friedlander, a Haredi lobbyist who was escorting Kasich through the heavily Haredi neighborhood.

Friedlander had tried to explain that for Jews, Moses is considered the most important biblical figure, and more important than the patriarchs, because he brought the law to the Jews.

“Moses is up there,” Friedlander said, as Kasich, an Anglican who was born Roman Catholic, examined shelves of Jewish texts. …

Liberals love to talk about Abraham because they then follow up with the statement about the supposed “Abrahamic faiths,” which they consider Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Of course, Islam is not an “Abrahamic” faith, it is a Satanic faith.

[DoughtyOne]

Kasich must have been dropped on his head at birth 55.

[Olog-hai]

The libs label Islam “Abrahamic” because of the Koranic mentions of Abraham (as “Ibrahim”) and his interactions with Ishmael especially (many fictionalized), and of course the Koran broaching the notion that “Ibrahim” was a Muslim.

Kasich - now a new name - who misquotes or misinterprets holy scripture - in talks or lessons or sermons to us. Sorry John but we’re not interested. ( and we’ve suffered through “fake Christians” already with carter and obsmmy. We sure don’t need a third one!

Very good catch.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

It is considered polite to argue with your host about his religion.

Not.

I think very few realize the great attribute that Avraham (Abraham) and Moshe (Moses) shared.

Moses brought the Jews out of bondage in Egypt, kept them together in the desert for decades, and brought them the 10 commandments Ted Cruz loves to violate.

Thou shalt not lie, bare false witness, commit adultery, cheat. Cruz the religious guy has violated 40% of the commandments. Lyin Ted.

More acurate to say Moses helped lead the Israelites out of Egypt.

Moses wasn’t a Jew. He was from the tribe of Levi.

They both obeyed God?

They both obeyed God?

As I said, very few find it. Both scriptures with respect to them are poignant and reveal their common character.

[af_vet_1981]

Moses wasn’t a Jew. He was from the tribe of Levi.

A Jew encompasses all the sons of Jacob, including Levi.

John Kasich is a jackass. He has no knowledge of the Bible, if he did he would know this verse: And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face. Deut. 34:10.

[Heart-Rest]

Moses wrote most of the Torah, which was given him by God.

We would not have heard about Abraham if we did not have the Torah.

Lately, Kasich has been displaying many of the idiotic and maniacal tendencies of Obama, especially in finding ways to insult and be rude to our friends.

How true . Islam is a covenant with death , purely satanic.

Jews are the descendants of Judah. Their were 11 other tribes.

[Theodore R.]

My understanding is that Abraham was a Syrian, not a Jew. Is this incorrect?
