They should not be held anywhere outside the temple in Jerusalem. For Moses said:
“He who does not bring his sacrifice to the door of the tent of witness, blood shall be reckoned for him; that man has shed blood.”
Meaning he will be charged as a murderer. But now, every hill, every city, every ravine is defiled by this impiety of theirs and enmeshed in the pollution of murder to enormous degrees.
Hear what Jeremiah says against these same Jews:
“Consider diligently, and see if there hath been done any thing like this. If a nation hath changed their gods, and indeed they are not gods: but my people have changed their glory into an idol.
Saying to a stock: Thou art my father. And to a stone: thou hast begotten me. They have turned their back to me, and not their face.
And in the time of their affliction they will say: Arise, and deliver us. Where are the gods, whom thou hast made thee?
Let them arise and deliver thee in the time of thy affliction: for according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Judah.”
He did not say: “My people have changed their gods,” for God does not change. But you did change your glory, and from it you will derive no profit: you did partake in their festivals; you did go over to their rites.
You Jews will say: “There is no necessity for the ordination of these bishops, because I said so.”
In doing so, you say there is no need for any priest like this one. Yet Christ poured out His blood on his account. He created the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds of the air, the fish of the sea, all for this one soul. But the impudent Jews, blind to all things, still insist there is no need for him.
This is why I hate the Jews. They drag the law and the prophets and councils into the synagogue not to honor them but to outrage them with dishonor.

@ftg961@IslamicQuiz_c Put this question to the Moslem. Even if he counts his shameless acts in the tens of thousands he will not be able to look this question in the face and stare it down.
@IslamicQuiz_c@NewsThatStinks “God cannot die. Jesus died. The equation solves itself.”
“Gods eternal word cannot burn. The Quran burns. The equation solves itself.”
It’s very simple. He isn’t pissing on your logic, because you don’t share it. Don’t take it too personally. He’s only pissing on his own.
You would think they would at least listen to Josephus, who is on the side of the Jews and should therefore be more worthy of their trust than others.
But though he was a Jew, he did not—on this account—let himself emulate the obstinacy of you Jews. He never said that the Romans killed Christ, nor did he ever even suggest that the Temple would be rebuilt (in fact, he even understood Daniel to mean just the opposite).
@rabbimoshex Granted it is not our outrage that changes anything. Why bring up that which does not matter?
You should be more concerned with God’s outrage, and that He rejected you once and for all after your mad rage against His Christ, the Anointed One.
What about this?
“Woe to them that desire the day of the Lord. Will not that day be darkness, and not light? Obscurity, and no brightness in it? I hate, and I have rejected your festivities; I will not receive the odor of your assemblies.”
Does God hate their festivals and do you share in them?
