I've seen you advocate some odd ideas, but don't tell me that you're now pro- animal sacrifice.

Too bad the "old testament" doesn't say a word about this unless one already accepts the "new testament" right off the bat and allegorizes the prophecies based on his preconceptions.
BTW, haven't you heard? G-d changed his mind again and founded a religion called islam. Then he replaced it with sikhism. And so on and so on. You are a hypocrite for insisting the Torah be temporary (when it says no such thing anywhere) and then wanting to make your "new convenant" permanent.
Putting religion aside for a moment, does anyone believe that this sort of nonsense (from both sides) is productive or logical?
Leave our `Avodah threads alone. Go study the apes you believe you were descended from.
Wow, ZC, you may be the first Jew EVER to consider "higher criticism" to be a negative thing. A truly stunning achievement. And "evolutionism"? Beautiful. Where do you get this stuff?

I'm not sure what it has to do with anything I've posted, but it was beautifully written.
I'm a Noachide, not a Jew. What's your problem?
More evidence that we need Rabbinic civil authority over all Jews (and eventually Noachides as well, of course!).
When was I not pro-animal sacrifice?
Kindly keep of threads you don't like. It will make life less unpleasant for everyone involved.

Since he/she refuted your position beautifully, I'm glad you think so.
God gave TWO covanents of forgiveness, one of sacrifice and adherance to the written law, the other of grace and freedom from the fulfilled law. Choose one.
I wonder if a sacrificial lamb would count as a "carry on" bag, or if I'd have to check him through, in the baggage compartment?
The smokes would cover the entire city (would smell really good, though).
Mmmmmmmmm... Lamb chops! Mutton! Yum!
The lambs would have to already be there for the event because of quarantine of importation animals.
Rats! I hadn't even thought of that...
I can imagine the day of major sacrifices in the ancient days were extremely packed with people, animals and continuous flow of blood and scarificial smoke.
It would be quite a mess. I've been to the American Royal BBQ Contest, and this would be even bigger!
I couldn't even begin to imagine the chaos of trying to resume sacrifices in today's political climate. PETA would go berserk. The VEGANS would be up in arms. The PA would be baffeled.......
Frankly, I'd LOVE to see the conniption fits put on by these people!

I'm assuming that you don't realize how comical it sounds when someone states "When was I not pro-animal sacrifice?"
Whew! For a minute there I thought there might actually be Jews out there who frowned upon challenging the dictates of authority and would not permit criticism. Glad to see that's not the case.
Good luck on your Rabbinic civil authority project -- you might have better luck herding Viking cats.
I had assumed that you were a serious person, albeit an ignorant one. Now I see that your only desire it to "push my buttons" and that you don't have anything serious to say.
Farewell.
Now you've made me hungry. Perhaps this lamb sacrifice idea has some merit after all.
Good luck on your Rabbinic civil authority project -- you might have better luck herding Viking cats.
I'm sorry you're so ignorant of your religion that you think that higher criticism is Jewish. Perhaps you should think of attending an 'Aish HaTorah Discovery seminar?
What makes the "higher criticism" a positive thing?
The so-called "higher criticism" school of "biblical scholarship" was invented by 19th-Century atheists and anti-Semites (not to mention Christian-haters) for the purpose of discrediting millennia of scriptural scholarship done for the purpose of revealing the Truth of G-D-given scriptures.
The "Reform branch of Judaism" adheres to the "higher criticism." I have asked many times, and have never received a coherent answer: "If you think that the Torah is just a fictitious hoax perpetrated by a conspiracy, why do you make such a ceremony out of Torah readings in your temples?"
Regarding your tagline: G-D created Eve, even before He removed her from Adam's body.
"Perhaps you should think of attending an 'Aish HaTorah Discovery seminar"?
Oh man. First Alouette tells me that I need to go to shul more than once a year and now you want me to go to a seminar? You guys sound like my sister.
Anyway, it's time to stop the unofficial slacking and get with the officially sanctioned slacking. Gut shabbos, Noah follower.
Well I actually was being serious when I stated that I found it comical for someone to ask so matter-of-factly "When was I not pro-animal sacrifice?"
You make me feel as though I should apologize for my lack of awareness of your position on animal sacrifice.
This said I don't strive to be thought of as a "serious person". As a non-Jewish, pro-Jewish, anti-Christian, pro-animal sacrifice (and very tempermental) person who runs a website called "redneck rastafarian" are you attempting to be thought of as a "serious person"?
That's a rhetorical question. The only reconcilable answer would be "no".
