Zone1 "Is it lawful on the Sabbath, to save life or to kill? [Rabbi Yeshua]

[DennisPTate]

The Jews fought back when the Islamists launched a war on Yom Kippur, too.

Antisemitic Arabs often pick a major Jewish holiday for their surprise attacks. Oct 7 was on Simchat Torah - a joyous holiday.

Exactly!

That question by Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus also relates to the events surrounding the fall of Jericho during the time of the Judge, Joshua.

Did the Jews of the time of Joshua walk around Jerico at least once on at least two Sabbath?

Or did they walk around Jericho on at least one annual High Sabbath, SEVEN times?

On Sabbath, they walked around SEVEN times.

On Sabbath, they walked around SEVEN times.

I suspect that the "Sabbath Day's Journey" that the Pharisees and Scribes put into effect may have been somewhat exaggerated in the context of the full topic of the Sabbath that is there in the Jewish scriptures?

You would be wrong. It behooves one to ask rather than invent an explanation.

Yes, I could be wrong, but I have been religious myself for about fifty years and I have noticed over and over again that sincerely religious people will tend to put a safety hedge around the laws and prohibitions that they consider to be important.

It is just a part of human nature, no matter what our specific theology is.

[DennisPTate]

Because they don’t quote fictional characters.

In comparison to The Being of Light of near death experience fame I believe that you and I are more so like "fictional characters."
