Just a couple of observations...for one thing, gregory deserves better than what he's gotten on this and a few other threads, with the peanut gallery simply ganging up on him in the stereotypical right-wing wacko way. If we're going to beat the guy up, at least do it constructively...
I don't mind getting into the ring. as I stated befoe, Im a liberal and am willing to defend my ideas.
You know, gregory, for someone who claims not to be a Christian, you lecture professing Christians on the nature of Christ and his teaching quite a bit. And your dismissal of Bob Enyart--who at least had the courage to admit to his sin, unlike the president you so vigorously defend--reveals your intolerance, which of course you'll deny.
4 years of biblical studies from hebrew and christian teachings.
By the way, Christ was explicit throughout his ministry: he hadn't come to abolish the law, the prophets, or Moses, but rather to fulfill them. Your understanding of Christianity is flawed, like many Jews I encounter today. (Frankly the church has brought a lot of that on itself, given our less-than-stellar track record with our Jewish cousins, but I digress.) Given the fact that much of Judaism has abandoned the law, as you point out, it shouldn't surprise anyone that the Jewish faith suffers much of the same weakness and degradation as the Christian church.
I agree somewhat. My understanding is based on 1. raised in a christian home by christian parents. 2. my grandmother was still jewish and I converted to her faith. Yes the jews have just as much flaws as the christian church. its hard to compete though with the TBNers running around blowing on people.
