The Torah is obsolete, and has been replaced by the New Covenant.
The priests of the Torah demanded the sacirfice of so doing
they invalidated the OldCovenant established by God, by holocausiting
the innocent Lamb of God.
As a result, their temple was permitted to be destroyed never again to
be rebuilt and the jews were exiled.
Now for a short while they are on trial as they have regained the
land, but the veridct is still to be deterined sine the jews have not
learned to love their neighbors still think Israel has a
chance to survive, but it must grant civil rights to all regardless of
religion. Israel, after all, is a secula nation, and it cannot simply
ignore the rights of the indigenous residents of the land. By doing
so, Israel only breeds everlasting conflict in the area, as we so see
today.
By the same token, since Rome corrupted Christianity beyond
recognition, we have been cursed with Islam as an alternative
religion. Had The Roman Empire made peace with Persia, Muhammed would
never had gained foothold. The intolerance of the religion of early
Roman Christianity alllowed for the birth of Islam. Certain precepts
established by Islam may simply make good sense, but this does not
make the entire book as holy as Islam would have us believe. It is
important to understand how Islam originally came to power.
>From my prespective it was not until the Protestant Reformation before
we were able to come out of the Dark Ages/ the Reformation marked the
era where it was possible for the common man to read the scriptures
for himself and not depend on the authoritative intreprtation of
scripture as promoted by the established churches of the time which
were simply an extension of the government.
Today, it seems that the Precepts of Catholicism, Islam and Judaism
are all outdated.
These great establishments of the past are as obsolete as outdated
sciences and the preinternet the other hand, the New Covenant
of Christ is not obsolete, but it does require us to read the words
of Christ for ourselves in order to porperly gain slavation. These
words are now available to all via the net, so there is no excuse for
any culture not to be aware of the ehtics as taught by Christ. Trying
to solve the Mideast crisis without referring to the NewCovenant willl
never work. The obsolete religions in the Mideast are now broken and
their cultures are paying the price for the sins of these now secular
religions..
The remarkable thing about theUS Constitution is that it is the first
timeI am area that the separtion of Church and State was mandated by
law, and that is because of the fact that governments tend to
adulterate or corrupt religion. It is not to the US interest to defend
the Judaic state of Israel at all costs, especiallyf Israel practices
ethnic discrimination. It is alleged by the Palestininas that such
discrimination is widespread. Yet, why do the Palestinians cry
discrimination when they do it themselves. It requires both sides to
make equal sides deserve what they are getting, uitl
they shape up and do what is righteous in the eyes of God, but nether
side seems to have a clear cut idea of what God wants anymore..because
they are both blinded by a deeply rooted religious hatred of each
other..
US could have cut funds long ago to both sides in order for them to
straighten up, but it is too late now for the US to solve the
we now have is a total mess,
Any religion which is mired with worldly politics is corrupt..
