That is an abomination!!!
Interesting. Ping to read later.
Okay, I cannot tell from, the article: is this the bit where they chop up a lamb or something?
Google "korban pesach" and you'll find out more than you ever wanted to know about this.
R. Ariel, BTW, VASTLY understates the difficulties in reinstituting sacrifices.
Ugh. You got that right.
Well, when the Temple is back, I'll consider it.
Galatians 3:10(NASB) For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, "(A)CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM THEM."
Galatians 2:16(NASB)nevertheless knowing that (A)a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by (B)faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since (C)by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.
BTW, I hope you guys get your temple mount back soon. God bless.
Jewish tradition identifies Christianity as Esau/Edom. You might want to check the Book of Obadiah and see your future.
Deuteronomy 27:26 Cursed is he who does not confirm the words of this law by doing them.' And all the people shall say, 'Amen.'
Two questions. How can you believe that you keep the Law of The Torah, when in fact, you do not practice many of the rituals and traditions listed in Leviticus and Deuteronomy. And secondly, at what point do you know that you have fulfilled enough of(assuming of course you will never be able to fulfill all of)the laws and rituals demanded you by the perfect and Holy Jehovah Jirah? What makes the Levite worthy of Heaven over the Samaritan?
Deuteronomy 30:10 If thou shalt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law; if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
30:11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not too hard for thee, neither is it far off.
30:12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?'
30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say: 'Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, and make us to hear it, that we may do it?'
30:14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
You think your own righteousness can get you to Heaven. Very sad.
Isaiah 60:21
Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Romans 9-12
What then? Are we better than they? Not at all; for we have already charged that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin;
as it is written,
"THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE;
THERE IS NONE WHO UNDERSTANDS,
THERE IS NONE WHO SEEKS FOR GOD;
ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME
USELESS;
THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD,
THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."
Jeremiah 31:31-34--"The days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which, my covenant, they broke, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
bingo!
the new testament and christian teachings completely contradict the words of the Holy Torah
Only the Holy Sages of Israel can interpret the Jewish Bible:
DEUTERONOMY
17:8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose.
17:9 And thou shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment.
17:10 And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the Lord shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee.
17:11 According to the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
I'd have to agree with "christian teachings completely contradict the words of the Holy Torah". The text in question (Romans 3:10-12) is from Psalm 14. Verse 5 of the Psalm should dispel christian hyper-literalism:
5. They were in great fear; for G-d is in the generation of the righteous:
If nothing else I suppose the psalm highlights the stark difference between sons/children of men/adam (v.2) and the children of Hashem. After all, everything depends on the woman. :-)
The "righteous" are the forgiven. Never could anyone be truly "righteous," that is, be righteous as far as God is. Only a substitute for us could match this standard of perfection. The human race is all under the curse of sin. Only a Son of Man who is truly righteous as God is, could be the right substitute for us. Only God can obtain His own righteousness, so God became Man and fulfilled all the law for us.
What's that suppose to be, the whore of Babylon or something? "How many fingers am I holding up? No, the horns don't count."
