Curious here, trying learn what exactly all this uprising is about.

Many things....there is justifiable concern on the part of some Christians that certain Jews see fit to comment on a film which accurately reflects part of their bible. There is also concern that Mr. Gibson Sr. was deceived into revealing the truth about himself. Also, there are concerns that Mel Gibson is being tarred with the "anti-Semite" brush.

What does it mean a "practicing Jew"? What do "practicing Jew" believe the future to be?

This is sort of like the man who came to Rabbi Akiva and asked to be taught the entire Torah while standing on one foot, but....

A practicing Jew, IMHO, is one who accepts upon him/herself the obligations of the Torah. For us, the future is that the Messiah will come speedily in our days.

Thank you for your response.

This is what I do not understand. The Ten Commandments are first written in the Torah. Why no outcry about rejecting them by modern day courts.

The gay lifestyle is called an abomination in the Torah yet society is getting it shoved in our face and against a state law passed by the people. The removal of "GOD" from the pledge get but a slight notice, etc......

I do not understand how all the things get hardly noticed. Yet a silly old man whose beliefs are not common gets run up the flag pole because his son makes a movie that all his peer's want nothing to do with. What is the sin of Mel making a movie? What do Mel's father silly words have to do with Mel's movie?

No one is being forced to go, to believe anything about it, yet I am being forced to explain to my children why the Torah says one thing and society is pushing the opposite.

Deuteronomy 31:16-21 Moses tell us what will happen "if" we turn our face away from our Heavenly Father.

Deuteronomy 32 the Song of Moses is quiet fitting for this day and age.
