My opponent is wrong

2 SABBATH PROBLEM: FIRST RESPONSE 1. David was starving to death (since he was fleeing from Saul), and so, the concept of pikuach nefesh (life risk) applied to him. 2. When David did what he did, that had absolutely nothing to do with Sabbath desecration. The only sin which can be committed when eating consecrated bread is being ritually impure, which David wasn't, as he himself said "Indeed, the women have been kept from us, as usual when I set out. Even on unholy missions, our bodies remain holy."Therefore Jesus' logic when he compared his students picking the wheat to David's situation is completely false, because A: No Sabbath desecration was involved (therefore it cannot be compared to that) and B: They weren't even guilty of anything. Whoever wrote this book must have not known anything about Jewish law. 2 SABBATH PROBLEM: SECOND RESPONSE I know that there were no lives at stake when Jesus healed the people as he did. To the best of my knowledge, he only healed the blinded and lepers. And about his students, it is said that they were hungry, but not starving. Therefore, no pikuach nefesh was involved in this situation, leaving it completely unjustified. Also, healing on the Sabbath is permitted as long as it is done in a kosher way. Waving your hand over someone and magically healing them is not against the Sabbath. Again, I would like to point at how ignorant the writers of this book were in Jewish law.As for some of the Bible passages dealing with the importance of the Sabbath, here are some: "The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 'But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. Therefore you are to observe the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people." -Exodus 31:12-14. "Observe my Sabbaths and have reverence for my sanctuary. I am the LORD" - Leviticus 19:30 "'Sanctify My sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.'" - Ezekiel 20:20.EZEKIEL PROBLEM: I never claimed that "children bear the iniquity of their parents", in fact, I recall claiming exactly the opposite. YOUR ATTACK AGAINST THE LAW: You not caring about the law does not make it any less important. About the law, it is written: "You shall keep My statutes and practice them; I am the LORD who sanctifies you.". We are made holy only through the Law of G-d by the hand of Moses. Jesus came and tried to annul this law according to your books, which is why you Christians have had such odious disrespect for it over the years. The law is in my head because it is vitally important in all cases, especially when dealing with one who does not follow it, which is in our case, Jesus. Without the Law, we do not get to decide who is righteous and who is wicked, who is liable and who is exempt. To push aside the law as if it is something unimportant is equivalent to pushing aside all godly values, as well as humanist values. Since your hero is a violater of this holy law, that is why you have such contempt for it.YOUR ATTACK AGAINST MOSES:I am absolutely repulsed by your gross and odious disrespect for Moses, about which it is written: "Never again has a prophet arisen in Israel like Moses, who knew the LORD face to face, for all of the signs and wonders which the LORD sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh, his servants, and all his land, and for all the mighty power and for all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel." -Deut 34:11. Without Moses, we would not even know who G-d is. He founded the religions. He is the foundation of all that we know to be true today, including your New Testament, which is based entirely upon the revelation of Moses. Moses was the greatest prophet who ever lived, with a higher level of prophecy than even the Messiah. Most prophets received their prophecies in dreams. Others who were greater received it while awake, but only through hallucinations. But with Moses, G-d spoke with him face to face, as a friend would talk to his friend. And the same thing with Moses, who was able to communicate with G-d always, at any time of the day, unlike other prophets who had to engage in deep concentration and meditation to communicate with G-d. - G-d would not have killed Moses. He was simply trying to scare him into performing a commandment which Moses had delayed, that of circumcision. Moses did not circumcise his son, and so G-d scared him into doing it. It had nothing to do with Moses being evil.- G-d did not let Moses enter the land because of a minor sin which he had committed during his life, because he hit a rock (when G-d told him to speak to it. He hit it on his own initiative.) Since he was so great, G-d expected much more from him. Therefore, he was punished much more than a common man.- Moses never did anything worse than desecrating the Sabbath. He was not a murderer or chauvinist. He acted on G-d's initiative. And even if he acted on his own, that still does not come close to Sabbath desecration, which is worse than murder.YOUR ANCESTRY: If you are born from a Jewish mother, who had a Jewish mother, who had a Jewish mother, so on and so forth, then you are Jewish. If not, you are 100% a gentile. There is no such thing as a "Jewntile", you are either a Jew or a gentile, there is no in between. If your mother is Native American and your father is Jewish, you are just as gentile as the Arabs. LEGITIMACY OF THE NEW TESTAMENT:If there is even ONE error in a book, then it cannot be from G-d, because G-d is perfect, flawless, and does not make mistakes, as evidenced by the continuous uninterrupted revolution of the Earth. If your gospels have one mistake (needless to say 5 mistakes in every chapter), they are not legitimate. However, this is another topic for another time.YOU AS A "REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD":You Christians have caused the greatest desecration of G-d's name, more than anyone else in the entire world. From your bloody Crusades, to your ignorance in science, and to your sheer stupidity on logical matters. The atheists think of you as representatives of G-d, and so, they hate religion more and more because of it. You are the greatest chillul Hashem in the world. How DARE YOU consider yourself a representative of G-d?IN DEFENSE OF THE BAALIST ISRAELITES: - Just as today, there is a tremendous desire for sexual gratification, especially among teenagers, back in the day, there was a tremendous desire for idolatry, as evidenced by the nations throughout the world who all worshipped idols. There is a famous story in the Gemara, which deals with a sage named Rav Ashi, who was a master of Jewish law. Rav Ashi was once teaching his academy the history of the three most evil Jewish kings (those being Jeroboam, Ahab and Manasseh). As the day came short, it was time to leave, and so he finished the lecture with a witty scornful remark: "Tomorrow, we will begin speaking of our good friend Manasseh." That night, Manasseh came to Rav Ashi in a dream, scolding him, "How dare you call me your colleague? I am much greater than you! Tell me, O great rabbi, when we make the benediction of hamotzi, from which part of the loaf of bread must we begin to cut?" Rav Ashi was did not know the answer, and so Manasseh began to taunt him "If you do not know the answer to such a simple question, how dare you call me your friend?" Rav Ashi said, "Please tell me the answer and I will teach it in your name in my lecture tomorrow", whereupon Manasseh said that the proper place to begin cutting the bread is where it is most brown. Rav Ashi asked. "If you were so wise in the laws of the Torah, why did you worship idols?", where Manasseh replied, "Had you lived in my generation, you would have lifted the hem of your garment so as to run faster to the idols, and you would have ran after me!" From this we learn that the desire for idolatry was great in those days. The Jewish Sages prayed to G-d to destroy the desire for idolatry, and He granted their request (which is why idolatry is ceasing, and monotheism/atheism is most widespread). - And another thing in their defense is that WHILE WE WERE BRINGING SACRIFICES IN THE HOLY TEMPLE, YOU WERE BRINGING OFFERINGS TO YOUR IDOLS ALL OVER THE WORLD. Will you really point out the short period of time when Jews worshipped idols, while you yourself have ALWAYS worshipped idols?Shalom.
