Glamrocker Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Wrong, as any fule kno. There is no such thing, in this context, as a 'testament'. What there is is text that was: a. Divinely-given at Mount Sinai or during the next 40yrs. [Torah, the Five Books of Moses]; or b/c. Divinely-inspired writings of Prophets etc. [Prophetic Books and Holy Writings]. Those three elements constitute the Tanach. As they are irrevocable, no 'New' anything is possible. BUT as you correctly note, the laws read-out from them need to be applied; this is just the same as in any other legal system. That's exegesis. It changes nothing. It merely indicates how the laws apply to specific circumstances. AND in any event you (not being a Jew) aren't bound by any of the laws except the Seven Laws of Noah (who wasn't a Jew either). Are you of the Jewish faith or a Christian ? If the former I quite agree with your interpetation of old and new testaments ,if the latter you are wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamrocker Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Are you saying there's something intrinsically wrong in wearing a mask when you go into a bank or petrol station? I'm assuming you didn't have malice aforethought when you ventured into them wearing your helmet? Sharia law !!!...thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 And, for more about the Seven Laws of Noah**, see http://uk.ask.com/web?qsrc=1&o=0&l=dir&q=seven+laws+of+Noah&dm=all ** Really, six of these were given to Adam/Eve [also not Jews]. The obligation not to harm animals unnecessarily (characterised by prohibition of eating a limb removed from an animal still alive) was added when Noah and family emerged from the Ark.

I believe these laws have nothing to do with the Christian bible ,the crux of the story,rather like the quoran ,is there but there are blatantly obvious differences.

upinwath Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 I wonder if anyone has considered the possibility the OP doesn't give a flying rats about much except finding an outlet for his stupid hatred. If it wasn't Muslims, it'd be Gays, Jews or anyone else that was a tad different. Haters tend to be self haters redirecting their self loathing to any handy target. Its all a bit pathetic really.

Maybe so, but the point of the Seven Laws is as a benchmark by which all manmade religious systems can be objectively assessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
