as the jewish holy day of shavuot (pentecost) begins this weekend, the reform judaism site publishes an interesting article entitled "judaism teaches: question authority, think for yourself.".
the article employs a jewish doctor's recollection of a jw patient who refused blood and died as an example of how both religious traditions greatly differ on how they see and apply god's law.. shavuot is the day jews recall god's giving the law to israel.
the article is significant in that it demonstrates how jews see the giving of the law as a call to questioning authority, including divine revelation itself whereas the death of the jw patient is contrasted as a slavish interpretation that misses the point behind jewish scripture.. for more see the article at:.
Oh...I read what you said, David_Jay. I know why you've stopped talking to me. Cuz you're going to be like Jesus when He was opposed by the pharisees...because my answers didn't meet with your approval.
(you see, the pharisees were trying to avoid answering the question because they wanted to avoid something. I was not. I legitimately don't know the answer to your question)

Anyhoo...
Jesus said to His disciples to eat of Him to come in to communion with Him. He told peter to "kill, eat" that the jews would be open to communion with gentiles and in like manner with the "fall of babylon" comes the communion of believers with new believers (eat! rev. 19:17-18) within the context of the outpouring of the Spirit on disciples of Christ for the work of evangelizing, once again. Amen!
The mind, will and purpose of God will be realized again as it was on mt. Sinai and at pentecost. *le sigh*

dear David_Jay...
I sense I've touched a nerve. I didn't "demand" answers, it was you that asked questions with an ultimatum. I'm sorry that you're unable to see the truth in my answers about the food laws not changing. They really haven't.
In the account in acts, especially, we can see that God was clearly not talking about changing unclean food to clean. When the apostle said the God had told him to "kill, eat"...the same kind of language is used in rev. 19:17-18. It is my belief that since God was speaking to peter in the context of evangelizing to nations...I believe that a merciful God will bring many into communion with Himself. Mighty men and those who lift and carry them along. I think it's gonna be awesome...if I don't have to eat them.

The thread opened with "THINK FOR YOURSELF...and judaism teaches QUESTION AUTHORITY". the author of the linked article quotes a rabbi who said that the greatest of moses' achievements is the breaking of the tablets and that when God instructs him to write for himself...the author says, "What does this act signify? It suggests to me that Moses understands that revealed law itself would become an idol, an excuse to relinquish what is most precious in us – our moral autonomy"...

I agree that some discussions regarding the corpus of scripture will never be fully "realized" until God grants us eyes to see. Having said that, what Jesus taught about intellectual pursuit of the law and what we think it means (our possessions) may be of little value [to God] if it's not correctly understood and acted upon.(we lack) Mark 10:17-22

"You said, "Do not boast over the branches," the Jews that did not accept Jesus as Messiah. "If you," the Christian, "do boast, remember that it is not you that support the root" of natural Israel, "but the root that supports you." Non-Jews are saved only because they believe in a concept that springs from Judaism, the Messiah. They are saved because the get grafted into Israel. Israel is not saved because it gets grafted onto you, Myelaine, at least according to Paul.--Romans 11.16-36."...

Judaism can teach that the scriptures came about from their religion and worship but the birth of that nation and their religion was borne of YHWH. The hebrews in egypt didn't seek Him out, He found them. You say the religion of judaism doesn't have all the answers yet at the same time it seems you are trying to convince me that, indeed, the egg came before the chicken.
you said, "If God made us a nation and inspired my people to write a book you feel must be obeyed, why do you find it appropriate to question the authors who God used to compose it? Do not authors have the right to explain their own work?"...
The author is God, D_J. God is the author and finisher of our faith. He inspired hebrew hands to write about His faithfulness and He inspired hebrew hands to write about their unfaithfulness. Therefore...He has remained faithful and the prime suspect for unfaithfulness in the OT according to Him are those who have practiced the "amended" religion called judaism.(before or after Christ, take your pick [Jesus said, "if you had believed moses, you would have believed Me"] )

"This doesn't mean that we ignore the Law. What it means is that Jews must learn and apply Law "through human hands," with reason, with current understandings."...
what do you think that God REALLY meant when He repeatedly said "Return to Me"? or jeremiah 6:16...19?
Doesn't this verse in jeremiah contrast God's path, His words and His law with the thoughts of men? ie: human reason and "current understandings" kinda like judges 21:25?
