Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
Why do you think Paul thought it necessary to point that out? Just to fill space?
“Mary, the Mother of God, spent much of her early life in residence at the Temple of Solomon.”
Putting aside the God Bearer/Mother of God debate, there is no way that Mary spent any time at the Temple of Solomon as it had been destroyed centuries before Mary was born. She might have spent some time at the Second Temple of Zerubbabel or the Temple built at Herod’s request we have no accurate documentation in that regard except the theorizing of the RC Church in their attempt to win the God Bearer/Mother of God debate that peculated between the Orthodox and Catholic branches of Christianity.
BTW ol hoss I never said that Jesus isn’t a Priest of the order of Melchizedek. I said He was not a priest of the order of Levi.
OMG, what have I unleashed?
Here’s a new question: how many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Bambam went to church for contacts I’m thinking. He used the Lincoln bible for the flubbed oath and no bible in the private second one. I wondered at the time why he was so careful about the oath when he had no concern for the other niceties of the Constitution. Smoke and mirrors.
Pot calling kettle black. No such thing as a hyphenated Christian. You’re Christian or you aren’t.
This is not a religion in and of itself. Instead, it is a set of ideals and general philosophies born out of both the Jewish and Christian traditions.
Not a religion. Repeat that as necessary.
So is Iggy a muslim too?

Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
Where the preamble declares, that coercion is a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, an amendment was proposed by inserting “Jesus Christ,” so that it would read “A departure from the plan of Jesus Christ, the holy author of our religion;” the insertion was rejected by the great majority, in proof that they meant to comprehend, within the mantle of its protection, the Jew and the Gentile, the Christian and Mohammedan, the Hindoo and Infidel of every denomination.
-Thomas Jefferson, Autobiography, in reference to the Virginia Act for Religious Freedom
Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man and his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should ‘make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,’ thus building a wall of separation between church and State.

History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes. -Thomas Jefferson
The whole history of these books [the Gospels] is so defective and doubtful that it seems vain to attempt minute enquiry into it: and such tricks have been played with their text, and with the texts of other books relating to them, that we have a right, from that cause, to entertain much doubt what parts of them are genuine. In the New Testament there is internal evidence that parts of it have proceeded from an extraordinary man; and that other parts are of the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills.

And the day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the supreme being as his father in the womb of a virgin will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerve in the brain of Jupiter. But may we hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with this artificial scaffolding, and restore to us the primitive and genuine doctrines of this most venerated reformer of human errors.

May it be to the world, what I believe it will be, (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all,) the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government. All eyes are opened, or opening, to the rights of man. The general spread of the light of science has already laid open to every view the palpable truth, that the mass of mankind has not been born with saddles on their backs, nor a favored few booted and spurred, ready to ride them legitimately, by the grace of God.

I guess I don’t get your point. Everything you cite is Thomas Jefferson’s personal opinion, often – as you’ve done – misinterpreted, which clearly didn’t interfere with his support of either the Declaration of Independence or his support of the Bill of Rights/Constitution, which clearly says that the government “shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”
To say that Jefferson’s opinions contained in his private correspondence somehow supersedes the rights enshrined in the Constitution is laughable at best and the wishful thinking of anti-religious tyrants at worst.
It didn’t matter if Jefferson believed in God, Jesus, or little green spacemen in fuchsia tutus…all that matters is what he, and the other Found Fathers, included in the Constitution. And that includes the unalienable right to free expression of religion.
And the right to express our displeasure when the man who says he’s a “uniter” and a Christian has a religious symbol covered up for no good reason.
Jesus and his followers were Jewish.

Hmmm. Well, I’ll have a go at this as well. ol hoss, you have not really defined what you mean by Jew or Jewish when you make your claims, so I am left to presume a little. Perhaps, you are advocating some type of hyper-dispensationalism. You have not yet made any statements advocating antinomianism, but if you were to do so, then I think I would understand why you make your claims.
Notwithstanding your assertions, the Scripture actually does call the followers of Jesus Jews. However, the Scripture actually goes further than that – it calls these followers more Jewish than those who are physical descendants of Israel.
Romans 2
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh.
29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
This circumcision of the heart is described further in Colossians 2:
9 For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form,
10 and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority;
11 and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ;
12 having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead.
By quoting Romans 11:1 which mentions Paul’s ancestry to both Abraham and Israel and then asserting that Paul was not Jewish, you seem to define Jewish as outside genealogy. I suppose that leaves only the definition of faith to define “Jewish”. Although Paul did take the Judaizers (who were predominantly Pharisees) to task on more than one occasion, he did not take it so far as to suggest that to be a Pharisee was inconsistent with being a Christian, for he claimed to be a Pharisee years after his conversion during a trial in Jerusalem.
Acts 23 6 But perceiving that one group were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began crying out in the Council, “Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead!”
Now unless you are suggesting that Pharisees were not Jews, it is clear Paul is making a claim to be Jewish (as a follower of Jesus).
Paul was a Pharisee and of the tribe of Benjamin. Obviously all Pharisees were not Jews except in the sense of people living in Texas are Texans.
No Christian would take offense by the symbol IHS. Some Christians wouldn’t even understand that symbol. On the other hand, a Muslim probably would take offense to it, which leaves me to believe Obama is Muslim….. Don’t care what that poll says. He’s a Muslim.
This political correctness is getting way out of hand. If this society won’t allow Christianity to be practiced then I for one will convert to Judism. What was good enough for Jesus is good enough for me. Muslim never.
I’ll see your ‘stat’ with the 75% of leftists who believe the moon landings never happened, then raise you with the 79% of leftist moonbats who believe the twin towers were brought down by Bush, Zorpheus..thanks for reminding us that there are mental defectives in your camp who are in dire need of being institutionalized.

WOW, you got like proof to back up those numbers, or are you just pulling numbers out of thin air?
Heck I’m sorry if the stats that Kate wuotes here demonstrates that 20% of White Religious bible thumpers are ignorant morons, very sorry, but what else would call these people? There is no excuse not to know Obama’s religious leanings, he’s the freaking POTUS and they just had the election,… it was like in the news and everything,… heck they even talked about it on the newfangled intertoobies and all.
Zorp:
What religion is White?
No idea, but what I did say was “White Religious bible thumpers” maybe I should included a comma,… maybe that would have help removed your confusion. Also, since Kate was referencing statics that 20% of White Evangelicals are ignorant morons, I didn’t think it was required to spell out their religious leanings,… although those twenty percent seem to need Obama’s spelled out for them, even after he has become their President, even after a year long election race.

Why is it only Christians who are asked to acquiesce to others’ possible sensitivities? What about Christians’ feelings?
batb @ 7:04 “Why is it only Christians who are asked to acquiesce to others’ possible sensitivities? What about Christians’ feelings?”
You must have missed the memo!! It came out shortly after the one stating death of common sense, then one with death of personal responsibility, then death of morality, etc.
These memos should be filed somewhere under the subject line of “road to hell.” Unfortunately, lefties file them under the subject “to live by”.
Zorpheous Its been a long time since you have been in church hasn’t it? Evangelical Churches are very, very ethnically/racially diverse nowadays. But don’t let your bigotry get in the way of your version of truth.
I think when that memo went out, Frenchie77, I burned it. I’m D-A-M-N-E-D if I’m going to be bullied, pushed around, and silenced.
As I said earlier, my family were immigrants to Canada over 200 years ago and helped to build this democracy which has been welcoming immigrants from all over the world ever since — and treating them with respect and considering them equal under the law, not above the law or outside the law.
The nearest analogy I can think of for what’s been happening since Trudeau’s wretched Charter of Rights (sic) and Freedoms (sic) and the toxic “multiculturalism” it ushered in, is this:
Visitors to someone’s home, who have been accorded warm and generous hospitality — they’ve been welcomed, fed well, provided with clothing, and a warm and comfortable place to sleep — look around them and say, “I don’t like that photo over there or that piece of sculpture; it doesn’t suit my taste. Take it down. And, while you’re at it, I’m offended by that grace you said and that cross on the wall, as they are not in keeping with MY faith.”
Only a few years ago, we would have seen the obscenity of such a scenario and, I wager, the householder/host would tell their well-treated guests to take a hike: “Take it or leave it, but don’t expect me to rearrange my house according to your tastes and sensibilities.”
So, what’s our problem? How come we’ve become such laydown monkeys? I think I’ve tried to answer the question, but what do others think? ‘Anything to do with our not knowing what we stand for anymore — and falling for anything?
except you come as a child.
I for one will convert to Judism. What was good enough for Jesus is good enough for me.
Huh, Judaism doesn’t even belive in Christ. You’re saying Christ didn’t believe in Himself?
