Obviously, you are a Jew unfamiliar with the Scriptures if you think those are the only verses that talk about your stiff-necks and/or the resistance your people demonstrated in following God's covenant. :roll:
Maybe
your religion's version of a covenant. Personally, I am a Jewish Atheist (in the pattern of Einstein and Jubal Harshaw).
Oh yeah...like where? There is nothing in Lev. 20 that states women are inferior to men....more evidence of your "inferior" knowledge of your sacred writings.
Sorry:3oops: wrong scripture. I was referring to this:
I desire, then, that in every place the men should pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or argument; also that the women should dress themselves modestly and decently in suitable clothing, not with their hair braided, or with gold, pearls, or expensive clothes, but with good works, as is proper for women who profess reverence for God.
Let a woman learn in silence with full submission. I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. Yet she will be saved through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and holiness, with modesty. [1 Timothy, chapter 2]
What's your point? Christians have a New Covenant with the Messiah.
He wasn't incredibly nice to 'infidels' either(Although I suppose one could expect that). Most Christians are, indeed, New Testament people, but I could name a few radio and TV hosts that digress. One point for you.
We have. Why do you think God has to do things the way you "expect" Him too? Elijah learned that God will do as God will and he will revel himself as He will. You who place expectations an Him are rebellious and throughout the OT the Jews were rebellious.
1Kings 19
11
1 Then the LORD said, "Go outside and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will be passing by." A strong and heavy wind was rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD--but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake--but the LORD was not in the earthquake.
12
After the earthquake there was fire--but the LORD was not in the fire. After the fire there was a tiny whispering sound.
13
When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went and stood at the entrance of the cave. A voice said to him, "Elijah, why are you here?"
Elijah had expectations as to how God would reveal himself--Elijah was wrong. God was in the still small voice after the raging tempests.
For someone so unfamiliar with his own sacred texts, you sure speak as though you have some authority. Ignorance and stubbornness and hubris do not speak well for your ability to identify what is "silly."
Is there internet access in Heaven? God really doesn't do what I expect, if Heaven really is on Earth. Since Christ was the Messiah to you, born to die for your sins and deliver you from them, why is there still so much sin? What exactly did Christ accomplish?
I do not think of myself as having "authority". However, silliness is in the eye of the beholder. There are many things in the Bible I find silly, such as the six-day creation, the inferiority of women to men, the Ressurection, etc. I speak of these as silly because there is much else in the Bible that I find sad (most of the Old Testament, for starters). However, most modern Christian beliefs, not following the OT, are only silly to me.
