Understand Your Local Jewish People: Tikkun olam

[zone]

You see, whether the Hebrews were more guilty than the Roman Catholics

there were Roman Catholics at Golgotha?
who knew?

Acts 2
22"Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know-- 23this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death. 24"But God raised Him up again, putting an end to the agony of death, since it was impossible for Him to be held in its power.

Matthew 20
18"Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death, 19and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up."

amen

Hi Zone, sorry I took so long to come back to this, I've been working to make my own Interlinear NT. I'm mixing Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Aramaic roots together just to see how it reads, so Simon Peter is Shimˁown Petros, etc. I got involved for many days. Of course, in my interlinear, Jesus Christ is still Jesus Christ.

I want to get into some dark-hearted part of dispensationalism, which is going to involve Israel, Shoah, propaganda, alliances, etc. so it seemed like I should deal with my understanding of modern Judaism first.

That being said, Noam Chomsky isn't fooled by postmodern silliness and neither am I. Chomsky is a Jewish atheist anarchist (not Spirit) and I'm a born-again Christian, but that doesn't matter, we can both see right through linguistic devices and sophomoric propaganda and trickery.

okay.
Chomsky isn't really an atheist anarchist, though.
brilliant guy though.

Ok, he has his religion and politics. Tn either case it's a combination of linguistics and informal logic that I apply to everything. I know software and all computer software fits into the Chomsky hierarchy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Now the human psyche does not, but the language people use (their output) can still be the subject of rigorous analysis.

Sapir-Whorf hypothesis isn't taken that seriously in modern anthropology, I still use it though because it makes it easier for me to detect "propaganda", or at least what I decide is propaganda.

None of this exists in a vacuum either, I live in the 21st century, in a post-9/11 world (cry) where it's hard to trust those who struggle for power. I may as well vote for Jesus Christ for U.S. President at this point because it's hard to separate the any White House administration or the global media from old Looney Toons cartoons. (cry)

okay.
do they operate in a vacuum?

Nope! And I'm still stuck with one vote. Mocking them on the internet has more power I think.

So do you want Wile E. Coyote or Ralph Wolf for U.S. President? America YOU DECIDE!!!



If you don't like Looney Toons, well you call them Beavis and Butthead if you like...

So I look backwards in time, past the 20th century and the first thing I find is the U.S. Civil War--a necessary and just action--where over 600,000 Americans were killed. (cry again)

it was?
why was it necessary and just?

Because the Confederacy wouldn't listen otherwise, it shows in their language, this is 2013 and people still call refer to it as the "War of Northern Aggression".

-> Naming the American Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Other terms often reflect a more partisan view of events, such as "War of Northern Aggression", used by some Southerners, ..."

My point is that American culture isn't shy of gun violence and it never has been.

Ok you gave me some good links, I will get into Judaism, Israel, Talmud, etc. in the next post.
