You feel like you’re living in a foreign nation because you are
A nation is not lines on a map, a set of institutions, or a collection of propositions
A nation is its people
I don’t know all the issues with Nolan’s Odyssey because I saw a black Helen of Troy and a tiny troon playing a war hero and I didn’t give him my money because the movie was obviously made to destroy my civilization
Is that so hard?
Jesus was God incarnate, he came to show that the law that the Jews followed was insufficient
He did not follow that law, he was the fulfillment of it
He was, in fact, routinely attacked by Jewish leaders for not being sufficiently deferential to that law or tradition and was sentenced to death for it
If you told a Jewish person that they were just a bad Christian they would be offended, if you tell a Christian they are just following the Jewish tradition they should be equally offended
Paul was very clear in Galatians that there is no longer Jew or gentile, Judaism is not a valid path to God because Christ has come to show us the one Way, we are the church under Christ, the true Israel
It is impossible to be faithful to God while ignoring that truth
No Jewish person believes Christianity and Judaism are the same, it's time to stop lying to people about this
Any patrons out there interested in supporting the arts (the good arts) in a fundamental way, the ARC exhibit at Sotheby's starts next week. The auction link is in the next comment.
