"accords that supernatural Jewish religion"

Just what is or was so supernatural about the Jewish religion?

"Once again, the world has only had one religion of God's making and that was Hebraic Judaism and it contained Christianity."

The idea that the world has only had one religion of God's making and that was the Hebraic Judaism is an assumption on your part based on the claim that is was on the part of the hebrew nation. To claim that it is doesn't necessarily make it a fact.

"Judaism contained a priesthood of Aaron and Mosaic sacrifices, in pre Christian times, that the OLd Testament said would be displaced, as it has been, by a priesthood without genealogy, and a "clean oblation" in place of the bloody oblations of Old."

Yes it has but that doesn't mean that christianity supplanted it. That is also an assumption on the part of those who claim that christianity does.

"Therefore, Catholics hold their religion, with its Christ-instituted priesthood and sacrifice (the Holy Mass), to be Judaism full-blossomed."

They may hold it to be Judaism full-blossomed, but that doesn't make it so.


"The Christian belongs to 3 distinct societies, domestic, civil and religious, each one answering to to particular needs of man and all instituted by Almighty God."

There are other religions that also have 3 distinct societies, that also answer to the particular needs of man, and they also feel that it was instituted by what ever name they use for THE I AM. This was nothing new and unique or particular only to the christian faith.

"Now go back and think about the condition of the lives of men, women and children who lived from the time of Adam until the establishment of Christianity. Ah, pretty bad.
In general, women and children had no rights whatsoever and treated as chattel. Slavery was common as was polygamy and divorce. The wealthy did no manual labor and if you were poor you might as well be dead. There was no such thing as property rights or social justice, charitable institutions, hospitals, orphanages, and so forth."

Apparently you are not very familar with ancient history. You assume that life was pretty bad, and in fact there were civilizations where women were not treated as chattel, and could own property and even participate in government. The Minoan civilization is but one example. Many native american peoples were matriarchal societies, where the women made the decisions, as also were several tribes in Africa.

Trust me when I say that the wealthy do little to no manual labor today either. And if you've ever been poor or homeless in this country the same holds true for them now as it did then. If you are homeless in this country you don't even exist. That's as good as being dead.

There were property rights, social justice, charitable institutions, hospitals and orphanags also before christianity. The romans had hospitals, and they had social justice. Your friend Paul of Tarsus used his roman citizenship to avoid being tried for heresy by the sanhedrin. As a roman citizen he could only be tried under Roman law. And by the way have you forgotten Jesus's trial before Pontius Pilate? And let's not forget the Chinese. They had all these things in place long before the hebrew nation was a nation.

And let's not forget that at one time in this nation women could not own property, could not take part in government, and were also treated like chattel. They were the property of their husbands, and there were even laws that dictated just how hard and what instruments a man could use to beat his wife. There was also this neat little cage that he could put over her head that bound her tongue just in case she talked too much. And as christians do so like to point out, most of the people in this country were christians. And let's not forget the slavery of the south either. Or the indentured servant, or the women and men that were charged with witchcraft, hung and burned at the stake, all by good christians. As for children, they worked like dogs in factories and mines until the child labor laws were put into place in the 1900's. And the good christians of this country saw nothing wrong with all these things for quite a while either. And all that I've stated took place in America, the European christian countries had their own sins as well. As for divorce, the christians in this country have the highest divorce rate than any other religion in this country, and that is fact.


No, sorry, christianity didn't change a thing, not then and not now.

just as Christ foretold before he left. These things are a result of sin. They will increase not decrease until he returns. He fulfilled only those prophecies that refer to his first coming. The prophets wrote down both, his first coming and his second coming. Even so they did NOT see two comings. They saw only one and I think this is what you are referring to Sodaiho. They wrote down what they saw. How would they know it involved two diff comings?



That's not the reason. The reason he said not to go to the Gentiles yet was because it was clear that Jesus came for his own first. Paul later wrote it was for the house of the Jews that Christ would come first. Later, when they rejected him, Jesus cried over Jerusalem and said "if you had only known" and he turned and walked out of the temple for good. It was now time to focus on the Gentiles.



The Jewish Priests did. Remember it was Passover and much work was being done in the temple during this time. I believe many of these priests that were there came to the faith according to what Luke wrote in the beginning of Acts. The veil was split from top to bottom meaning it came from on high. Christ broke down the wall of partition at his death and Christ know would now be our mediator. We were now free to directly access God with no need for a priest's intervention like before.

God has always been accessible without a mediator. One need only be still and pay attention.  Ancient shepherds knew this, ancient Jews practiced this, ancient Buddhists practiced this. The gift of prayerful meditation is nearly universal. 

As to the renting of the Temple veil, there is no evidence outside of people who had a vested interest in creating a Christian religion.  Remember, these are stories developed to tell a tale and make a point. That's what the original theme of this article was about, that Jesus was simply following a recipe so that he would be proclaimed the messiah.  Unfortunately, the prophecies were not fulfilled, the world did not get better, and the early Christians fully expecting cataclysmic changes had to scramble to create an alternative story line.  Which they did.  Today we call it Christian theology.

 

See ya.

not according to the Torah and OT prophets. Only the High Priest was allowed access to the Holy of Holies. It was the HP who interceded on behalf of the people. Just as Moses went up to the mountain alone to hear from God on behalf of the people below so too only the HP enter was allowed to enter the sanctuary of the Most High God. Even David did not hear from God directly. He had to go to the prophets or priests to do so. Nathan and Samuel come to mind here.



how can you say that when there is at least 50 or so prophecies that were fulfilled in the person of Christ? Some of which I've shown you right from David, Isaiah, Moses, or Micah themselves?

I agree that NOT all of them are fullfilled. That is true. But they will be in due time.

"These things are a result of sin"

Once more sin is the result of self importance, and it is very much on the increase.

"That's not the reason."

Sorry but it is the reason, and the Gentiles were not what Jesus focused on. If this were true, he would not have told his apostles what he did about not going into them. Your statements are quite contrary to what Jesus himself said. He "knew" what he was supposed to do, and many times I've heard you state this fact. You as christians state that he knew that he was the messiah, but then you wish to do an about face and state that he didn't know that the hebrews would reject him (as evidenced by your statement of his cry to Jerusalem as he was leaving the temple). Either he "knows" or he "doesn't know". You can not have it both ways just so that it fits with what you would like to believe so that it will fit into the christian philosophy.

"I believe many of these priests that were there came to the faith according to what Luke wrote in the beginning of Acts."

That is simply your belief, and once more your "belief's" do not constitute fact. Belief is
"belief", and fact is "knowing".

The rending of the veil is a symbolic statement and fits exactly to what Sodaiho is telling you in his above statement. The veil is what seperates us from "seeing" the truth of all things. What prevents us from "seeing" is our self importance. And when I say "seeing" I mean just that. We as humans see very little of what there is to see. Animals see more than we do. Much of what exists is invisible, literally invisible to us, but once the "veil is rent" because of our putting self aside we are able to see the real truth of all things. We will see that all things are the same, that the illusion of seperation between all things is just that, "Illusion". That as Sohaido stated before "a tea cup is not really a tea cup, we simply see it as being a tea cup". The "veil" is quite literally "illusion". The apostles themselves began to see, as evidenced when they saw Jesus with Elijah and John the Baptist and they saw Jesus's face was shining like the sun. Physical form is also an "illusion" and we see only illusion when we see through the eyes of self importance. And not to rattle your cage, (well maybe to rattle your cage a bit inorder to wake you up), you or anyone is capable of doing the same, but not until you can put self importance aside. As Sohaido says be awake and quiet. I say be aware and quiet, but both awake and aware are words for the same thing. We carry on an internal dialog with ourselves all the time. The mind rather than being a witness to what we see, it's true intended purpose, now has become that which explains to us what we are seeing. That is why Sohaido says that reason can not get you there. Reason is the explanation of the mind, and it can't get you anywhere except here. As long as we allow reason to explain everything to us we will not enter into the next life.

And why won't we enter into the next life............BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE IT, and because the weight of our self importance would become literally a real weight and would crush us to death.

I tell you truly that Jesus stands right in front of you, as do others that stand with him, which by the way is the other fold that he speaks of, not christianity, and that the next life is quite literally right before your eyes. And the next life is not heaven or an eternal dwelling with god either. Jesus said "in my fathers house there are many mansions, and I go to prepare a place for you." Heaven is also all around us, but we must exist in many realities, this life and it's reality being merely one of many, a s will be the next, before we will see it.

No, it's because Luke the writer on the early history of the Christians said so.  I don't base what I say on my own opinion.  When it is my own opinion I would say so.  I keep asking you where you get your info from and you ignore me.  I'm pretty upfront and straight where I'm getting my info from. 

Luke wrote:

"And the word of God increased and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greaty; and a great company of the PRIESTS were obedient to the faith."  Acts 6:7

"The curtain separating the Holy of Holies from the rest of the Temple (Ex 26:33, 38:18, Heb 9:3) was torn trom top to the bottom showing that Dod did it not man.  It signified tht the new and living way was now open nto the presence of God.  One probably result of this supernatural tearing of the veil is the conversion of these priests who witnessed this. 

As far as Christ fulfilling prophecies from the OT.  If you really really were interested or open minded about this you'd read them and see for yourself.  The following is just to get you started and are prophecies concerning just his death written hundreds of years before the event took place. 

Gen 3:5,

Psalm 22:1,2,6,7,8,13,14,16,17 (Ex 12:46, Ps 34:20), 18 (2), 21;

Psalm 35:11; 38:11, 41:9, 69:3, 19,21; 109:25

Daniel 9:26

Isaiah 50:6, 52:14, 53:1-3, 4-6, 5-6 (2), 7 (2), 53:9, 12 (2)

Zechariah 11:12, 13, 12;10, 13:7 (2)

 

 

 

Sorry, but I told you where I got my knowledge from. What don't you understand about personal experience? You and everyone else have personal experiences all the time, every day of your lives. I am not asking you or anyone else to take what I am saying on faith or belief. I have said that you could find out for yourselves. I've even taken the time as to hint to you as to how you can accomplish it. You out of the desire to make everything personal unto you only have ignored it, even so far as to not ask about it or how you can go about to discover it for yourselves. You cling to your beliefs like a drowning man clings to a raft because of his fear of death. There is no final death, the death that Jesus spoke of is the death that we all of us experience at the end of our lives. That is why Jesus said he who fears losing his life and tries to save it, will lose it. I have even gone so far as to tell you that it's not information, that it's not from a book or someone elses ideas or words or even from belief or faith. The only thing that I take on "faith" is that THE I AM exists since I have never seen it, and I take it on faith because I have seen it's works. That which I speak of is what I KNOW.

You quote Luke and put your own meaning to his words. His words stand as they are, and they are words regarding the hebrew nation, which in truth is all of mankind, but the hebrews like youself wished to make it "personal unto them alone". Christianity is no different. Only those who believe will be saved. Not so!!! All will be saved all will return to THE I AM. They will not however return enmass as the christian's believe. Belief in Jesus is not enough to accomplish that. It will and must be under ones OWN EFFORTS. I've even asked brought up the question of the fact that you would not wish to pay for the transgressions of another in this world, and that you yourself would not consider it to be correct or good, and then I asked you why you thought God in his wisdom and mercy and knowledge of that which is correct and good, which is greater than your own, would also make another pay for someone elses transgressions. That way is the lazy mans way, in other words do it for me, so that I don't have to make the effort. What makes you think that everything should be done for you? (You wouldn't like going to work, and having someone else get paid for the rewards for your labor would you?) You CHOSE TO IGNORE THE QUESTION and did not answer it. As if ignoring it would make it go away, or disappear, or simply not ever have been asked.

How do you suppose those prophets connected with God? The Torah is full of references to the practice of meditation, the Hebrew word is, hitbodedut.  See Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, a very famous biblical scholar, who wrote, Meditation and the Bible (I found a review sample on Google books) for a rather extensive and detailed study of this.

The Holy of Holies was not the only access to the divine.  Are you suggesting that David did not pray?  Or that God did not hear the prayers of Jews? What were all those psalms? 

Goodness.

Be well.

2Paralipomenon 3, (what the Hebrews call Dibre Haijamim),(or 2Chronicles 3 in Protestant Bibles) describes in detail the plan, the ornaments, the cheribums, the veil or curtain, and the pillars of the Temple.

The Temple veil was certainly no illusion or myth to the ancient Israelites. It was a very real thing and had a significant meaning in their sacred worship of ALmighty God.

Only the priests were allowed to enter into the Holy and the High Priests into the Holy of Holies. It was the veil which shut off the Holy of Holies and through which the High Priest dared pass only once a year. As God was present in the pillar of cloud, resting on the Ark, so the Tabernacle was God's dwelling in the midst of His people.

During the time that the sun was darkened, "And behold the veil of the Temple was rent in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were rent; and the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints that had slept arose." St.Matt.27

"Now the centurian and they that were with him watching Jesus, (the soldiers who formed the death watch under the cross) having seen the earthquake and the things that were done, were sore afraid, and glorified God, saying: 'Indeed, this was a just Man!Indeed, this was the Son of God!' And all the multitude of them that were come together to that sight, and saw the things that were done, returned striking their breasts." St.Luke 23.

As this was going on at Calvary, imagine the terrifying scene going on in the Holy City. The Temple veil was being rent in two...the veil which screened the Holy of Holies from the eyes of the people clearly proclaimed the end of the Old Mosaic Covenant,its rites and ceremonies, and even of the Holy of Holies itself!!!!

This was truly the beginning of the "Abomination of Desolation" in the Temple foretold by Daniel, and of the religious poverty and famine of the former people of God, "without King, and without Prince, and without sacrifice, and without altar." Osee 3:4.

KFC POSTS:



Yes, God told them precisely what and how to build the Temple and everything about it, including the worship, the total came from God..to the Israelites. Now, at Christ's death, the Old Law was perfectly fulfilled.

This was God's way of marking the New Covenant of the Christ whom had been rejected and cricified. Heavenly and divine realities are replacing what were mere types and foreshadowings. According to Zach. 12:10, 13:6, the opening of Jesus' side and heart is for us an unmistakeable opening of the fountains of His merits, graces, purifying and life giving unto our sanctification and religious perfection.

SODAIHO POSTS:

SoDaiho,
Your point is well made and well taken.

KFC was making a distinction...the Holy of Holies is about worship and sacrifice and for that, a mediator was necessary.

On the day of expiation, the High Priest was to sacrifice a calf in atonement for his own sins and a he-goat for the sins of the people. After the sacrifice he was to raise the veil and enter into the Holy of Holies, taking with him the blood of the victim and the golden censor. He was then to incense the Propitiatory or cover the Ark, and to sprinkle it and the front of the Ark with blood.

This reasoning has always mystified me.  How does one "fulfill" a law?  I mean just what does that actually mean?  Don't eat pork.  How does one "fulfill" that so we can now eat pork?  God makes a law.  A law is a law.  God isn't in the habit of changing His mind. 

Be well. 

  

I always understood it as by bringing the Old Law to its full fruition.

 

Ok, that I can get my mind around, but it is using the "Law" as something other than what it is, a set of clear commandments made by God to the Jewish people in his covenent with them. Christians seem to think that their "New Covenent" with Jesus allows them to disobey God's Law.  I suppose this is true as they are not Jewish and not subject to the Torah. Its exactly what sets them apart from us.  If this is the case, they should let go their attachment to the Hebrew scripture since it apparently no longer applies to them. 

Just thinking out loud here.

 

See ya. 

"The Temple veil was certainly no illusion or myth to the ancient Israelites. It was a very real thing and had a significant meaning in their sacred worship of ALmighty God."


Have you ever by chance read the words , "As above, so below?" Everything about the actual physical temple was intended to represent the metaphysical. The temple was also including the ark of the covenant, the veil the pillars and the high priest, and Jesus's death was the actual "rending of the veil." He moved from the physical life into another kind of life and in order to accomplish it he had to rend the metaphysical veil called self importance. Just as the sacrifice of the early hebrews was intended to represent the giving to god the physical life of man without blemish, in other words without the "sin" of self importance.

Further more why do you think that the "rending of the veil" in the physical temple would be due to anything other than the physical results of an earthquake? Are not homes destroyed in earthquakes as well? And it not possible that if one had hung a curtain between two posts in a building that experiences the shaking during an earthquake, that it also would tear, or be "rended in two?" I sincerely doubt that the high priest of Israel if he were in the temple during an earthquake, would have noticed anything in particular such as the tearing of the veil taking place from top to bottom, or in any direction in particular. I'm sure that he'd have either been cowering in terror and praying to god, or trying to get out. What would you have been doing, looking around to see what was happening to a veil? I highly doubt that.

"God isn't in the habit of changing His mind." Precisely!!!

"If you really really were interested or open minded about this you'd read them and see for yourself."

I have read the bible, and quite frankly I am far more "open minded" about any religion including chrisianity than yourself. But my understanding of the bible is based on once more "personal experience". That is why I do understand the bible, and I don't need to seek out another human being to explain it to me, and that includes the apostles as well. It is perfectly clear to me, I got the explanation right from the source, and so can you.

"I suppose this is true as they are not Jewish and not subject to the Torah. Its exactly what sets them apart from us."

The law applies to all men, jewish, christian, hindu, buddhists, and yes even the atheists as well. The law is the ten commandments they are clear and concise. Everything else including the laws of diet and those that deal with those outside the faith are the hebrews interpretation of the law that allowed them to seperate themselves from others, and the christian religion is no different. They also think that they are also seperate and more unique and special to God than any other peoples. Neither are the only chosen, all mankind is. God gave the commandments to Moses, the "Lord God" added the revisions. God himself mentions nothing of any kind of penalty for breaking the law, because it is God that will judge and mete out punishment, not man. As Jesus said judge not, for you shall be judged by god as you judge others.


However, I do understand the point that you are trying to make Sodaiho, and it's quite well taken too.

Nightshades, I do understand your point. We live in one reality with many windows.  We are all subject to this reality, call it Dharma, the Kingdom of God, or whatever.

 

As you know, my point is in regard to Christian interpreters having it both ways. On the one hand they quote Hebrew Scripture to bolster their moral/ethical point of view, and on the other hand, when its not convenient, argue that the "Old Testament" is fulfilled and no longer applies, since they have a "New Covenant".  I really don't see it that they can have it both ways. Unless they take a Reform Jewish POV and say they can use reason to decide which laws they will follow  and to what extent they will follow them.   But that creates problems on the fundamentalist side, you know, God means what He says and the bible is inerrant, and all.

 

Just confused.

Be well. 

I'm not sure I understand what your saying but will say that in the passage from the OLd to the New, the priests were commissioned to carry forward to the whole world the justice of the Mosaic Law, that is the Ten Commandments, but at the coming of Christ, the law of love, of Christian charity, was added to the law of justice.

It's the spirit of the law not the letter of the law we are under. We are under Grace and truth not the OT laws and regulations. Paul covers this alot in Romans and Galatians especially. The whole purpose of the law was to show us God's heart and to show us we couldn't in our humanness keep the law to perfection. So God sent his son, to perfectly keep the law and as the perfect lamb only his death would satisfy God's demand for justice once and for all time.

The law was likened to a mirror. By looking at the law we could see our sinfulness (dirtyness) but the law couldn't clean us. Jesus not only showed us by his complete perfect law how dirty we were in comparison, he did something about it. In perfect love He died for our cleansing. He cleaned us up. He atoned (covered) our sins and we were set free from the law.

Paul said in Romans 7:

"Do you not know brothers-for I speak to men who know the law-that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? For example by law a married woman is bound by her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. So then if she marries another man while her husband is still alive she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man. So my brothers you also died to the law thru the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead.......But now by dyng to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code......Once I was alive apart from the law (pre Moses); but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death."

It's supernatural because Judaism was revealed by God to the Hebrews....as opposed to Rabbinic/Talmudic Judaism which is man-made.

lULA POSTS:

more than assumption....natural reason compels us to believe that there is only one true God --the God the Jewish people worshipped--there can only be one true religon of God.



It sure does...The OT said the bloody sacrifices would be displaced, how, and by whom?...Christianity...

In 70AD, the Temple was razed flat to the ground, the sacrafice is nor more, nor is the Jewish priesthood offering a bloody sacrifice today. The sacrifice of the Old law ceased, as was foretold and a new Aaron " a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedech" Psalm 109 was offering a "clean oblation".

Aaron offered bulls, calves, goats, lambs, rams, etc. as sacrifices of the Mosaic Law, whereas Melchisedech offered bread and wine as Christ offered Himself (Bread of Life, Holy Eucharist,clean oblation) at the Last Supper on the night before He was crucified. This sacrificial offering has been continued for 2000 years by the priesthood of the Catholic Church exactly as Malachias, the last of the Jewish prophets, predicted --"from the rising of the sun to the going down".

The "clean oblation" in the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass offered to the God of Israel has supplanted the bloody sacrifice of the Jews.

The whole law Sodiaho rests on two commandments...love God with your whole heart, soul and mind and to love your neighor as yourself. Love fulfills the law. Love for God and love for fellow man.

From 33AD, Christ changed the world and so did the social principles of Christianity, all based upon Christ's teachings and modeling.

The world has benefited in thousands of different ways. On a moral plane Christianity elevated our thoughts, words and actions to a higher level, and directed our wills to a higher good. Since its inception , Christianity has indirectly affected everyone's well being in almost every facet of life.



You cite this list of misery...and if you'll notice everytime you see an instance of misery, CHristian principles aren't put into practice...it's always something else, paganism, radical feminism, communism, nazism, racism, sexism, secular humanism, totalitarianism, etc.

It shows that men are miserable by forsaking Christian principles. I'll tell you what:

Let all of us live up to Christian principles, and then if the world is not better, you can blame it on Christianity.
