Inconsistencies: Understanding Christians and Biblical Law

Inconsistencies: Understanding Christians and Biblical Law
It is realistic to say that many Christians actually support only some parts of Bible, while saying that they support all of it. Though there are lies in the Bible, both the Jewish and Christian Bibles that is not to say that these people intend to lie in their claim of support for these sacred texts. Christians argue over the Old Testament, but all believe some parts of it were good. The ideas of Bibles are not reflected in the language of the followers of what is written in the Bibles.
Galatians says, “There is neither Jew nor gentile in Christ Jesus.” If you ask me that verse is a load of crap because the “Old Testment” describes a Jewish uniform, tefillin, that no Christian I have ever seen wears or defends wearing. Those Christians would pick and choose saying “That is only Old Testment,” but there is nothing in the New Testment saying that it is not a Christian obligation by the nullifications of Jewish Law Christianity has in its New Testament. That saying means, those ways are null and void, in other words, only for Jews. Ha! You just disproved your verse, “Neither Jew nor gentile,” as the sacred texts of Christianity recognize Jews that are under the Law by choice. No Christian can provide me, a Jewish thinker an explanation why they are null and void.
There are nullifications of some Jewish Laws in the New Testament. The going wisdom is that some of these are cultural, and some stand for all time. These nullifications are primarily in the book of Acts, and they were introduced to make it easier for gentile converts to Christianity. However, these laws don’t begin to explain the beginning of the amount of Laws of the Old Testament Christians one way or another deny, such as Jubilee or wearing a Jewish uniform.
Most every Christian I know of wants more Laws accepted than just the laws of Noah that the Jews recognize, all the while saying the ever popular “You can’t pick and choose” with the Bible. I don’t believe it is appropriate to point out the untruths of the New Testament here because that idea of the Bible, each religions respective copy, being truth is something both Jews and Christians would eagerly and incorrectly defend in naïve sincerity and fairness. Naivety is easily forgivable.
Christians support that lying and certain forms of cruelty to animals are sins, and those are “Old Testment” Laws. The Laws of Noah (gentile law) don’t include these Jewish laws though, but Christians would be quick to say that the Bible supports them, a contradiction to the common denial of Jewish Laws, such as “Don’t round the corners of your beard.”
I’ve never met one Christian that takes that Law seriously and I’ve attended a Christian College. Not one person there had a beard! Not one person there wore a Jewish uniform. There was no doctrine even supporting these actions. Yet, these are Laws Judaism still holds to dearly in its doctrine. That is Christians picking and choosing right there! There is no way around it! These are the literalists that deny evolution, and also hypocritically have no beard. Don’t even talk to me if you don’t have a beard and trumpet creation science! Only an idiot could do that!
My guess is that the Celtic peoples are the nation of Abraham, some of which received the Torah from Moses, and some of which didn’t, so if you read an earlier blog that seems contrary that was just me blowing smoke in the face of conservative Christians, and it is not necessarily what I believe. I have also written on the Celts as Jews in other blogs too, not yet this month though! That is I, myself, don’t like the idea of relegating people to just gentile law or just Jewish law, and though this seems rather Christian, along the lines of the verse I mentioned earlier in Galatians, I, especially don’t like the lines of heaven and hell Christians relegate to believers and nonbelievers. Those distinctions are worse than the bigotry of the Jew and gentile divide in Law. The point of the bigotry toward fundamentalists was to elucidate an inherent inconsistency in preaching common conservative views, such as that Celtic people descend from gentiles and the ignored consequences of gentile descent by literal translation of the “Old Testament” by conservative and fundamentalist preachers.
If you look in the Bible hard enough, there is a verse that can support just about anything. This makes arguing with believers hard, as you can tie them in a pretzel with their beliefs, but they aren’t intelligent enough to either realize it or see a way out of the knot, so they don’t change and later forget the entire argument. The way out of the pretzel is to not take the Bible literally and to think consistently, easily said but difficult to do.
