Stir over Gospel of Judas may not be entirely justified

Just as Pride lay behind the Fall in the first place. "Who is God to tell ME that I cannot eat of the fruit of this Tree?"

This guy is just clowning around and yanking your chain. To continue to take his crap seriously is pointless unless you intend to educate those who are serious. In that case you are doing and excellent job.

But it is clear "Enterprise" is just and ignorant Sophist.

"President Bush has Tactical and Strategic considerations in the language he uses since we have need of the help of Moslems in Iraq and Afganistan."

Trust me, I DO understand this!

"As regards the Children of Israel settlement of the Promised Land perhaps I can work up some sympathy for child sacrificing idol worshipers some time but not today."

I can never work up any sympathy for child killers.

"And I think if you look at their history you will have to admit that they were on the losing end of most genocidal and military conflicts."

Can't argue much with that! Kind of a rough road for God's "chosen people."

When the universal goal of the Children of Israel is taken into consideration their road is not that "rough" since they play a significant and positive role in human development.

Here's what I've wondered for a while about the Old Testament and the New Testament. The Old Testament is essentially the history of Israel, or the history of the Jews. The New Testamament, is the life and teachings of Jesus. But - the Jews don't accept Jesus. Yet Chritians have a religion based on somehow "melding" the History of the Jews, with the teachings of Jesus - and they are not strongly related.

The two books should be renamed for clarification.

1. Rename the Old Testament as "The History of the Jews."

2. Rename the New Testament as "The life and teachings of Jesus the Savior, the man the Jews reject."

Perhaps in this way, some might understand a little more clearly why Christians might agree with Jews regarding the two books, and the two faiths.

1. No Jew accepts Jesus as the Messiah. When someone makes that faith commitment, they become Christian.

2. It is not possible for someone to be both Christian and Jewish.

3. Jews reject Jesus as the Messiah because he didn't fulfill Jewish expectations of the Messiah.

The Hebrew Bible (called the Old Testament by the non-Jewish world) is not proof for anything in the New Testament regarding a Messiah.

My view? Christians should ignore the Old Testament and accept the New Testament.
