Answer: Babylon.
History records, that the first truly evil empire with thoroughly evil intent was Babylon.
Babylon invented crucifixion, Babylon invented starvation as weapon, Babylon invented psychiatry, and babylon invented dark industry.
God took 14 generations to form His people from Abraham to David. God took 14 generations to perfect His people from David to the babylonian exile. Satan took 14 generations to harvest all that from the babylonian exile to the birth of Christ.
This is why the Jews didn't recognized their own King even when He was born under the guiding star of Bethlehem, but all other nations did, even as far away as the three magii.
As a result, there are two types of Jews today. The Godly Jew which the works of Christ repaired to some degree, and the ungodly jew, which remain enslaved by Babylon.
Observing the enslaved jews, we can conclude, that when the devil captures your feelings and senses, your will has no longer any degree of freedom to balance, and you become the Jew which is the zombie of Satan.
Here is the question for the debate. Given that these Jews have all 3 of their soul functions captured, what can be done to start bringing them home from Babylon?
If they reject Jesus as Savior, then what can you do? It's not like they do not believe science is true and the true religion is backed up by science.
Haven't the Jews had no blood sacrifice and atonement for 2000 years already? I think this was because their holiest of holy temple was destroyed in AD 70 by the Romans. Thus, the Jews have been without a temple and without sacrifice i.e. no means of atonement. They may not believe in blood sacrifice anymore, but what other atonement do they have if not Jesus? What do they do on Yom Kippur now?
the way this idiot thread has been going, you asked the MOST important (and intelligent) question. The issue is POST temple Judaism. Start with a misconception --to wit BLOOD. Animal sacrifice back in the day was an economic thing over much of the known world. The greeks did it, the romans did it, ----LOTS of cultures did it------not to GET BLOOD-----but as a matter of
the distribution of ANIMAL PROTEIN. In the jewish
system, a factoid not known to the sunday school set,
the Tribe of Moses and AHARON ie the Levites and
Cohens had no ancestral land which excluded them from agriculture and animal husbandry. The animal
sacrifice FED THEM. The end of the Temple meant
the end of that particular economic system. SO the
talmudic scholars actually "ruled" by talmudic edict.
No more lamb chops for the Levites out in the diaspora. Interestingly----the animal protein system
of the greeks and romans allowed for the SALE of the
sacrificed meat-----but the jewish temple system did not. Only the levites and the cohens could eat it and NEVER SELL IT. So now you know. The last vestige of the animal sacrifice system IMHO---is the selling of
BULL meat after the BULL FIGHT in Spain
