Judaism is not a rival of Christianity. Judaism came first so it is the other way around.
They can’t be. They are fundamentally different, hence my response. No malice on my part, but it is an utter waste of time and resources just so somebody, for inexplicable reasons, can get a warm fuzzy feeling and believe within themselves that they have accomplished something. But in reality, it is idiocy on display in all its “glory”.
No Jew or Christian in their right mind would want to worship there nor mingle with the enemy.
“From the standpoint of the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but from the standpoint of God’s choice they are beloved for the sake of the fathers;”—Romans 11:28
Says it better than I did. “From the standpoint of the gospel.....”
I really dont understand what that has to do with my comment??? this is in Germany.
I understand what your saying though. I just dont see how it applies to my comment.
3 religions that all believe they are the “true” one.. I dont see how they can logically coexist...
Sounds like Paul’s trip to Athens.
Catholics would have to re-dedicate the space every time they used it. I’m wondering how true this is.
In Toledo Spain there is a building which was used by Christians, Muslims, and Jews for their religious ceremonies hundred of years ago.
I suspect those ceremonies were held separately.
" . the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons." 1 Cor 10:20
"Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you£ are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
I will dwell in them and walk among them.
I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Therefore 'Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord.
How long before people visiting the mosque are urinating in the church and fire-bombing the synagogue?
Being Berlin I assure you this.
There are few, if any, Christians that will attend this church and it will remain empty. The huge Turkish and Lebanese population will flood the mosque. The Jews will be intimidated and stick to the existing synagogues.
The Muslims will complain it is too small and take over the entire building and tear out the ridiculous slats the architect is using to try to hide the Muslim dome. Another neighborhood in Europe will be forced to listen to “the most beautiful sound in the world.”
I would like to remind the dreamers of this “COEXIST” fantasy the Muslims don’t play well with others.
Yes they were scheduled separately.
When we were in Madrid we took a tour to Toledo. Nice place.
The building is open to tourists. IIRC it’s a synagogue now.
So is that were we get the expression "Holy Toledo!" for mock surprise?
never thought of that, could be
sometimes the most obvious explanation is the right one. I forget what that’s called.
I meant to reply to post 1. Must have hit yours by mistake.
It’s been a long few days.
From the standpoint of God the Torah came first.
That is why Christianity is a rival of Judaism. God’s Torah is perfect and eternal. The Laws are binding forever and are never to be changed. Jesus did away with the Law which is strictly forbidden.
No problem, i was wondering that :)
What a stupid idea.
