I think America woul...I'm sort of on your side. I think America would be in much better shape if your arguments were sharper. Yet, you shoot yourselves in the foot.<br /><br />Dictionaries define "Judeo" as a combinative form. Thus, the compound word "Judeo-Christian" implies that Judaism (Torah) is no more than a dependent element of Christianity.<br /><br />In typical supersessionist and displacement Christian tradition, Christians thoughtlessly presume the prefix "Judeo-" to lay false claim to Judaism (Torah) by means of an impossible union of "Judeo-" (pro-Torah) with "Christian" (supersessionist and displacement antinomian=anti-Torah=misojudaism).<br /><br />Where values are shared, the accurate (and honest) way would be to state "Judaic and Christian…" (values, traditions, etc.) instead of "Judeo-Christian."<br /><br />It's reasonably clear to most that the founders of America were primarily Christians. Be content with that and stifle your greed to lay false claim to Judaism along with it. The history of the original Christian church of 135 C.E. was indisputably antinomian, and even viciously misojudaic (see Oxford historian James Parkes, The Conflict of the Church and the Synagogue). The 10 Commandments are an indivisible whole. Rejecting any one constitutes rejecting of the whole… and the Church rejected the 10 Commandments when it superseded and displaced #4 (and shredded #1-3 as well). Examples are endless. Dt. 13.1-6 explicitly precludes the Christian NT exactly as it does the Quran, Book of Mormon, Watchtower, etc. Consequently, claiming your NT is included in a "Judeo-Christian Bible" is no less wrong and offensive. The NT is not part of the Jewish Bible.<br /><br />Greed to claim supersession over, and displacement of, Judaism introduces self-contradictions that undermine and negate your arguments.<br /><br />Christians' religious greed results in fecklessness that enables the postmodernists to disassemble and destroy America.<br /><br />Contrary to many modern Christian overstatements, the founders of America guaranteed that religion be free to all in private and imposed on no one in public.<br /><br />Unfortunately, America's freedom to practice one's religion in private doesn't satisfy religious greed--particularly that of Christians--toward dominance. In such case, religions in America need to be declawed. By over-reaching you ensure the opposite--and probably disproportionate--reaction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
