Muslims treat those they disagree with so well... DumbassNo Iran has not been arming Hezbollah in Lebanon, as Benyahu shoots them when they see them in Syria.
Also what is the problem, if I were Lebanon I'd want to be armed well living next to Israel as Israel salivates over Lebanon land. Also why does the US send weapons to Israel and SA.
Oh I forget , only Israel can have allies.
King Cyrus was a Persian savior anointed by Yahweh. They leaned about good and evil, angels, the afterlife, and some believe monotheism, which they didn't have before the exile. You even have the two Genesis stories.
who is YAHWEH? "some believe" what?---------actually Zoroastrianism
is not quite MONOTHEISTIC------it is DUALIST----which was the major
subject of conflict over theology between Jews in Persia and---Zoroastrians----
HISTORICALLY. By the time of Cyrus----between 500 and 600 BCE----Judaism was a well established religion---in fact the BABYLONIAN CAPTIVITY of the jews and the DEVELOPEMENT OF DIASPORA JUDAISM preceded Cyrus. Diaspora Judaism is a watershed type situation in jewish history because it
transformed the religion to one NOT FIXED by national boundaries but into
a religion TRANSPORTABLE------by that time Judaism DEVELOPED
into RABBINIC JUDAISM-----in that the leaders were the "scholars"---rather
than a whole bunch of PROPHETS AND PRIESTS ATTACHED TO THE
CENTRAL TEMPLE. Poor penny has problems with things like TIME-LINES
No you were polytheistic before the exile. You believed in other Gods but Yaweth was the strongest. What happened with the exile is the Judeans found out that they didn't need the temple to serve their god, nor that their god was territorial, but also was there in Babylon with them. That helped make them monotheistic as you know when Ezra returned they had went into the pagan (not bad meaning) ways again, and married Canaanites and worshipped idols. Also some believe that Zoroastrian also influence their monotheism, although yes , it was dualism with and so Isa wrote this :
Isaiah 45:7Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
7 I form light, I create darkness;
I make well-being, I create woe;
I, Adonai, do all these things.
Most likely that is why Christians think of the devil, Satan and God, and probably why you have a serpent in one of the stories of Genesis. The Sadducees didn't believe in an afterlife or angels , they followed the law of Moses, whereas the Pharisees began to interpret how the Mosaic laws should be carried out, and they didn't see things in black and white, but different levels of spirituality, Rabbis. Judaism before the exile was a tribal polytheistic relgion based and depended on the temple in Jerusalem.
Lol
Better than Israel and the IDF. Dumbass!
