Chinahand Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 Rog, the laws Jewish fundamentalists say were carved on stone tablets initially by a deity and then by Moses contain commandments to stone and how to enslave etc. They are horrible documents What makes them so different than a similar set of documents dictated in an Arabian cave? Both claim a direct command from a deity and submission to its will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The probability is that he himself produced the decalogue based on what he had learned in pharaoh's court as a first cut set of rules to control the tribes and later went on to add laws and punishments to ensure the tribes remained intact. The huge difference is that as time progresses in the case of Judaism time, experience, and circumstances changed and many of the things prohibited were set aside as can be found in the book of Judges though the word used is not judge in the English way, in Hebrew it is "shofet" which is very much closer to great army leader. Probably the finest example of changes with time concerns homosexuality which Christian bigots delight in using as an excuse for their blind hatred. As time rolled on we read in the case of David and Johnathan that they were "at it like knives" but by then no one batted an eyelid. As for the qur'an that is "sealed" by Mohamed under the direction of his invention Allah. The Qur'an can NEVER change. EVER. what was writ by mohammed 1300 years past is just as vital today as it was then. That is one of the many reasons that I loath Islam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I saw that, your point? My points are #1 the Talmuds are not fundamental to Judaism #2 the Talmuds change with time to reflect the changing nature of the world. There is a minor point and that is that some references that anti-Semitic crap that you pointed to included quite a lot of things that were not part of any Torah plus it's important to read what is in Talmuds while taking account of the context in which they were with and the overall historical context of when they were writ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
