True, Jews also believe that salvation comes from faith AND works, rather than faith in God alone (ask any Rabbi), as well as religious authority coming both scripture AND tradition, rather than from sola scriptura. In fact, "bible alone" theology is known as Karaite Judaism, and it is considered a small fringe movement in the Jewish faith, rather than a mainstream Jewish viewpoint.
It's interesting all these evangelical protestants will bash Catholic traditions while heaping praise on Jews for doing the same thing.
The Jews are God's chosen people...The Catholics??? Nope...
God is not done with his chosen people...They are in a holding pattern while God attends to the Gentiles...You want to mimic and compare yourself to the Jews with their traditions and O.T. rituals when God specifically tells you otherwise??? There's more to the story...I'd recommend you finish reading the 'book'...
It's interesting all these FReeper Catholics protestants will bash protestant belief in Scripture, while giving kissing the Holy book of Islam of their pope a pass!!!
