Orthodox Jews Burn New Testaments in Israel

[lgm270]

Holy Crap!  Just when we have this big deal about a Christian burning a Koran, in Israel orthodox Jewish youth's are burning New Testaments.  Who ever would have thought that our only ally in the middle east would do something so hateful and despicable. But....they're God's chosen people after all, and regular morality does not apply.

Does not surprise me if true. Christless means to be without Christ as savior. Jews had a chance to save Jesus when they were offered the choice of barrabas or Christ to nail to the tree. You know how that went right? The fire of hell will be many times hotter on the jews and all who refuse to accept Christ as savior than any fire they can start. The New Testament of Christ lives in my heart and mind. They can't burn Christ.

The Jews and Muslims’ ( I can see no difference in the two) can do no wrong!!! But if they were American Christians they would be hate mongers and jerks.

(shrug) they'll do that New Testament burnin', and the unconditional support just keeps on flowing their way. Odd. Anyhow... sounds like a tantrum. What does it accomplish? Demonstrating contempt does little good, even if it feels good (I know; I've got contempt for several classes of people)

Lets RIOT!!!

[subdjoe]

OK, and?   You don't hear any warnings that they should stop because it might cause a violent backlash, do you?  No threats of beheadings or bombings if they keep doing it.  And there is nothing in the NT that calls for death, beheading, dismemberment, etc. for those who burn, flush, tear up, or otherwise "disrespect" the NT.  Seems that there is only one religion that calls for things like that.

Naw...just the Samson Option and other blackmail.

Which has exactly what to do with death threats against those who don't worship the koran of mohammad?

The Sampson Option has to do with the muslim Arabs actually getting their acts together well enough to be a military threat to the existance to the UN mandated existence of the State of Israel (you remember the UN, don;t you?  You know that offspring of the League of Nations that regularly issues anti-Israel statements at the request of Arab states, statements that you drool over and hold up to show how evil Israel is)

This is an odd situation, particularly from a pro-free speech perspective.  On the one hand, burning books - ANY books - is usually the hallmark of censors hoping to suppress information and ideas.  Generally a bad thing.  On the other hand, they're not really eliminating the books in question (it's not a government mandated destruction a la Fahrenheit 451 - good book that I highly recommend BTW), they're doing it as a demonstration, which can in and of itself be a means of expression and free speech.

In the end, as long as it's not government sponsored, I say who cares.  Same with the Christian church who wants to burn those Qurans as a demonstration.  That's their free speech right too.

Of course this is all theoretical anyways as Isreal being a different government has their own set of laws under which I'm not even sure if free speech is protected.  I used to assume that modern freedom oriented nations would protect the idea, but lately the actions of many nations (particularly Australia) have totally killed that assumption.

Oh golly gee, don't hear about the Christians threatening attacks and bombing.

Who cares!

Hello----that's not the only copy we got.

[torpedoman]

America has become way too p.c. and lives in fear of offending anyone for any reason. sad state of affairs,allow anyone to insult and degrade you but don't offend them because they may not like you if you do. Hell they don't like or respect us now.

[Oldshooter]

Its amazing to me how pitiful BS like that and the Koran burning get so much play and debate.

You Play into the State run medias hands by paying any attention to this foolishness!

HELLO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! maybe we should concentrate on how this administration spent a trillion dollars to "restart the economy" and it is worse than before! or  how Soros just made a another billion dollars in the Brazilian oil trade cause this president is doing everything he can to destroy the American oil business! Soros pays obamas political bills anyone got any thoughts on that!

Come on Americans get your heads outta your asses! Pay attention to what really is your
dilema(s).

God will sort this out when the time comes. Let God do his job! and you do what you are supposed to do and save your country!

The fact that these things get attention makes me ill! Its like William said "it aint the last copy" and i dont care a hill of beans who burns nuttin. If burning is of interest maybe we all should burn copies of the obama health care plan. That is gonna further destroy the economic welfare of our country

It's just a book.  Burning one book is no worse that burning another.

[powderman]

I have several Bibles, a few Jews want to burn theirs, their loss, I'm keeping mine. POWDERMAN. 

[wreckhog]

It is fair so long as they use a torah for a match.

[Swampman]

Who cares!

What are you talking about?....they and friends are talking about wiping out Iran just about everyday....already flanked it east and west. Then moving on to wipe out the other 1/3 of the human race.

human race?

[powderman]

human race?



Definitely questionable at times. POWDERMAN.

Scatterbrain to himself:

 Calm yourself.............Steady.............deep breath...............exhale.............keep doing it..............Arrrrgh !!

[Spirithawk]

Sure, get angry at someone....destroy an object....that will teach them! Kinda like a spurned woman keying your car or someoneone putting sugar in your tank. Personaly I could never understand taking anger out on an object. What in hell does that accomplish or prove, other than you're too cowardly to take your problem up with someone face to face. If I have a problem with you then you can bet your a** you'll know it's with you, not some object you posess! These people are cowards and idiots!

The Bible has 2 lineages.  One is Cain's and one is Adam's/Seth's.  Figure it out!  The muslims aren't part of The Adamic lineage.

My beliefs on the accuracy of the lineage claim aside, this is pretty much impossible given converts from one religion to the other.  There are plenty of former muslims who are now christian, and vice versa.  Their genealogy didn't change when their faith did.  You can't associate religion with ethnicity or genetics. 

[Swampman]

Or can you?

[MGMorden]

Or can you?

Nope, you can't.  Just went over that with the last post.  Try to keep up.

[Swampman]

They all count, just in different ways.  Read the parable of the tares.

This may be news to you there is more then two  and I'm not of either.

My ancestors were Norse and their god was Odin and Thor dished out punishment

 I beg o differ, one is Shinto the other is Judaism, in their conservative/orthodox circle their is no conversion, they do not look for converts believing that Judaism is for Jews, no other.  There are other religions that you are born into and can't convert to. 

[Hooker]

Or can you?

.

Yeah...this is the latest zionist brainiack idea....that judiasm is actually a race come to find out
...and The Only Race that counts.

Sick stuff.


..TM7

In a biblical sense it is true. Once you are born again you are a christian. When one takes on this new life he or she sheds worldly things and seeks to be Christ like and obedient to God. They are a changed and no longer of the world, in affect a different race a different creature a being marked by God as his own.

Yeah that is Israel, and exactly why many jews hate Israel. In the US, reform jews will take anyone.

[MGMorden]

There are other religions that you are born into and can't convert to. 

But you can convert FROM them, without exception, and that nullifies any possibility of making a firm tie between race and religion.
