**Would you appreciate if I called you a liar and idiot? I didn’t think so. Therefore, instead of returning to him the same ad hominems, I made him see… **
You complain that someone called you a liar and idiot but you did the following:
A Challenge to Our Intelligence
Then the soldiers that the women had not seen at the tomb, appeared at the house of the priests to say that the tomb was empty and of course, to get a good bribe with the advice to spread around that while they were sleeping, Jesus’ disciples had come by night and stolen the body.
That’s the insult to the intelligence even of a moron, let alone to those who have a mind to think.
That’s the puzzle that has been insulting our intelligence for too long.

Your thread title “A Challenge to Our Intelligence” basically says that anyone who believes in the New Testament is stupid.
And in your “The Alleged Sons of God” thread you basically called Saint Mary Mother of God a liar who was raped by a roman soldier.
You’re a hypocrite.

Christians would not exist in the first place. Jesus would not exist without Judaism.You would have never heard of him.
**
You show your level of intelligence. According to your Old Testament God was ready to destroy His people and make a NEW great nation out of Moses.
God’s will would move on whether or not the Jews existed, you’re not special.
The Christians would believe that God would have picked ANOTHER people from which to produce His Son.
Exodus 32:9
The LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this people, and behold, they are an obstinate people.
Exodus 32:10
“Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
**
That’s not faith that moves me to believe in Judaism. It’s Reason.
**
Reason? The Athiests would ask you to prove that God exists, so go ahead and prove it. I doubt you can.
**
The Christian concept of God is not Monotheistic. We would not settle for anything less.**
That is your OPINION of the Christian concept of God, how arrogant of you to think that your mind is powerful enough to contain the ENTIRE concept of God.
You say Jews “would not settle for anything less”?
Then prove that Abraham was monotheistic.
Since you want a specific witness to the resurrection, then I want a specific passage that absolutely proves Abraham was monotheistic.
**
Jesus himself said that the Truth is the Word of God. (John 17:17) And the Word of God was given to Israel only and to no other people on earth if you read Psalm 147:19,20.

Stop quoting the New Testament when you will not quote the other verses. The New Testament clearly states that “The Word became flesh”, (John 1:14). You pick and choose your qoutes taking ONLY the ones that help your position.
Perhaps I could have told him or her that half of all Nobel Prizes are won by 14 million Jews, who have “allowed” the other half to be taken by almost six billion of the rest of Mankind. This could hardly happen to a People made out of idiots…
That’s rasicm! You’re saying that Jews are smarter than everyone else.
Jews “allowed” the other half to be taken by almost six billion of the rest of Mankind.
Tell that to people who say that Jews control the world’s finances. I’m not saying it is true.
But many Jews ARE RICH. Rich people send their kids to college. Add the cultural effect of Jewish women who like doctors and men with advanced degrees and Jewish parents guiding their children into those fields, maybe it is a stereotype but there may be some truth in it.
but it is hard not to be reminded of idol worshiping when I see Catholics prostrated in prayers before statues of clay.
The Catholics deny that they worship idols, they just use those things to be able to form a picture in their mind and are really focusing on the real thing in heaven.
You want people to respect Judaism, but you don’t respect the religions of others.
