Zone1 Why do all religions seem to point to Jesus?

Imagine that, in defense of radical Islam
Well sure, Jews bad, Muslims good don't ya know.

Meanwhile, Islamic countries lead the world in overall terrorism.

Funny that.

Oh, it must be the fault of the Jews.

What is sad is, Iran funds Hamas, but if Hamas was successful and threw the Jews into the sea, Hamas and Iran would be fighting next.
 
Because there is none like Him. No other religion has a Jesus Christ.
But they have "people" similar that pre-date him. Like ones who were resurrected. Like ones who turned water into wine. Born of a virgin. "lion of the tribe". Visited at birth by wise men. Much of their young life is a mystery. Had a "last supper". Being called "the only begotten son".
You put all that together? You have a jesus.
 
I note with interest Netanyahu's name of this justified attack on Iran:

The Rising Lion
Here is some info about the actual name


it is important to note the flag of Iran previous to its current one and why it was changed. The winged lion on it might be the nation that is rising.
 
This is true. The NT goes back into the OT and tries to reinterpret things to make their version “fit.”
The purpose of the Old Testament and the New Testament is not to argue how Jesus fits or doesn't fit. Both address God's plan for his creation. Hillel commented that all of scripture can be summed up with Love God, love others. All else is commentary. As good as that summary is, I believe it skips past a salient point, and that is obedience to God.

Mankind's story begins with disobedience. God called all Hebrews to be obedient to his Law. Jesus' teachings and final words were a call to obedience. Could it be the main answer to resolving strife in this world be for all to focus on obedience to God. Wouldn't that be the first step into loving both God and other people--all working towards obedience to God?

Somewhere in my studies I learned that in their battles toward the Promised Land, the tribe of Judah always led the way, went first. The name Judah is associated with praise and thanksgiving, with the spiritual meaning that praise and thanksgiving to God came before the battle. Am I recalling this correctly, and if so, is this still practiced today?

Absolutely.

The challenge is, as I see it, that “obedience” (or following the Law that Gd has set out, otherwise known as mitzvot or commandments) is the key requirement of Judaism, but that Christianity set that aside, saying that “faith” (or belief) supersedes or negates the Law.

So how can you say that obedience to Gd is a requirement of Christianity when the religion teaches that belief overrides actions? If obedience to Gd was still a requirement, would not Christians keep the dietary laws (as one example), that Gd commanded us?

For Jews, obedience to Gd (by following his Law) is paramount, while to Christians, belief in Jesus is paramount.

No?
 
This is true. The NT goes back into the OT and tries to reinterpret things to make their version “fit.”
The NT also wants to show that Jesus fulfilled the prophesy of the Jewish messiah. For example, since the messiah was to be born in the city of David, Bethlehem, different birth narratives circulated to show why Jesus of Nazareth might have been born there. Whatever the original stories were, the versions in the NT still contradict history and each other.
 
Do you know anything about Jesus’s teachings?
Why is it you had zero interest in this forum other than to push Hamas propaganda?

I can only assume you are a troll and have no interest in the teachings of Jesus other than to try and use his teachings for your own propaganda.

To date, you have failed to mention your religious views.

Why?

I'm not sure of the marching order in the desert -- all the images I have seen have Judah on the east side of the tabernacle, but that would be when they were camped, not marching.

The name "Judah" does come from the word for "thank". Judaism (from the same word) includes substantial thanking and praising in our prayers.

Yes, and Jesus Christ is called the Lion of Judah

Lol. You think opposing genocide means I support Hamas. Lol.

So if Jesus said don’t murder your enemies, you’d think he supports your enemies. Lol.

Your maturity level is very low. Are you related to W?

When was the last time you read book?
 
Absolutely.

No?
Obedience was paramount in early Christianity, spoken and practiced in monasteries and abbeys. The first Church council in Jerusalem debated whether one first had to become Jewish, following all Jewish Laws in order to become Christian. This was settled by pointing out that Gentiles had never been required to follow Jewish Law, but were required to follow the Noachide Law. It was pointed out that Jesus' focused on what in through the mouth and passed through the dietary system was nowhere as important as what was in one's heart which came out through the mouth.

The Church adopted Noachide Law and the Ten Commandments, but after that was focused on the inward man (heart). Note the circle: In the Jewish faith, love of Law circles around love of God. Christianity takes the approach of Love of God circles around love of God's Law.

For Christians, belief in God is paramount: Creator, Word, Spirit all of which describes God in the first verses of Genesis. Christians believe God's Word became flesh (fully human) so that it was not just God teaching humans as God, but God's Word teaching humans as an actual human being. In Jesus we see God's Word being practiced and observed even given the constraints of humanity.

Jews get tangled in the thought that Christians are worshiping a human being, when it is God's Word that is being worshiped just as our Creator and the Spirit of God is being worshiped. God is worshiped in His entirety, just as Jews worship every aspect of God. Jews don't/can't grasp the belief of God's Word ever taking on human form. The best analogies I can offer is that Moses encountered God through a burning bush, Elijah through a quiet whisper, Christians through the Word of God, made flesh. God is more than a burning bush, a whisper, or Word made flesh. Yet all describe ways God reaches out to humans and our encounters with Him. Isn't keeping of Jewish Law another way of encountering not just Law, but God, Himself?
 
and March comes in like a lion. I don't think that Israel's naming a military campaign has anything to do with Jesus.
Jesus Christ doesn’t support genocide. In fact, he opposes it.

Other CultReligions are hardly going to import a Fake figure whose every utterance has proved to be sentimentalised and sugary .
TheMagician who utterly failed to reappear as promised , claimed a Dad but no Mum other than an earthly loose woman who had a fling outside of marriage and had an illegitimate son . You would be laughed at now for such a silly narrative . .
 
Israel ...................................................... if they are trying to embrace genocide, they really suck at it.
Well. If all the citizens of Rhode Island refused to acknowledge the existence of the United States government like Palestinians have refused to acknowledge the Israeli government then there would be a genocide on Rhode Islanders. The United States wouldn't cry about being guilty of genocide. Israel is horrified at being guilty of genocide to their own demise. So does Israel really suck at genocide? Yes. Yes they do. 77 years is too long for a nation to encourage sedition and treason as an acceptable lifestyle. Palestinians should have already been exterminated by now. It makes no sense. Israel sucks bad at genocide. They need to figure out how to do it already. What is Israel expecting from the great great grandchildren of the Gaza strip? Are they going to be compliant, loyal, and committed citizens to the nation of Israel? This crap is so dumb. I'll never get it.
