And this sentence..."You seem to revel in discord because you have this false assumption that the discord means your right and is a result of being right. The discord is a result of your sometimes less-than-honest tactics and poor behavior. " is a strange way to address anyone, especially someone you don't know from Martha Washington. And this: "Double standards. They expect others to behave and act in ways which they feel no compunction to honor themselves" You have absolutely no problem trying to slam someone else right after making that statement? Again, making my point. I always know from whom I will get the flaming darts; doesn't matter, I'm fireproof. And, btw, where did I say I KNOW I'm right because people disagree with me? I seem to have forgotten saying that...... Perhaps you could illustrate for me exactly where I "slammed" someone in this thread? I did not slam you or anyone else. If you are going to question others behavior and make heated statements to them, you should be prepared to receive a fair share of them yourself. As for not knowing you, personally, no, I do not, but I have been a member here for a few years now and have read many of your posts. So you and your posting style are not total strangers to me. You may be fireproof, but that does not mean that your behavior is always above reproach. You were the one who told Candice that "Life is not a polularity constest" as if the less people who find you popular, the more right you are. You made the statement, and that was the implication, unless I am suddenly unable to understand plain english. No, you understand English just fine, Cobalt. I admit I am sometimes abrasive and opinionated . So you don't consider this...."The discord is a result of your sometimes less-than-honest tactics and poor behavior. " to be a slam? Wow. Actually, if that's your opinion that's fine. When I say 'Life is not a popularity contest' I really mean it. I don't 'go along to get along' ,as we say down here, unless I agree with what's being said. Isn't it wonderful to live in a country that has freedom of speech? And I have no problem with others' heated statements being directed at me; that's just life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying that Other One sent you his info of where the Talmud says that Christians should be beheaded? We had a private conversation, and it was before he wrote that post. I will leave it at that because it was a private conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pretty intrigued by this thread because I've been listening to a librivox recording of John Locke's Letter Concerning Toleration. It is a really good listen, I reccomend it highly. Interestingly, when he wrote it, we were burning Catholics, or they were burning us Protestants. I forget who's turn it was. A Disciple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I DO agree that this thread has brought out some fascinating subtopics. Whether we agree or disagree, Worthy members are good at communicating their ideas and convictions.

I have not asked you to produce the quote katyann, nor have I asked other one. You will note in fairness that I have not singled you out in this or any other thread. Now I will ask you both to back up your claims. Where in the Talmud does it say what you both have claimed it has said. Katy, I asked both of you nicely, and you said you would tell us if we asked other one too equally. Other one has not replied in this thread. You have repeatedly and still ignored my request which did not single you out. Now I will ask you both again to back up your claims. Where in the Talmud does it say what you both have claimed it has said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, haven't found it. But I did find this, and thought it would be cool to share. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Psalm 2 says, "Thou art My Son; do homage to the Son, lest He become angry and you perish in the way." The Rabbis say that God has no Son; but they have a big problem. Here is where I tell you how to drive an Orthodox Rabbi into early retirement in Florida: Psalm 2 is put together with Psalm 110 and II Samuel 16:1, and then connected with the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53. These things can be read in the Midrash on II Samuel 16:1, paragraph 19 of the Lemburg Edition, p. 45; also the Midrash on Psalm 7, p. 5a of the Warsaw Edition; and Yalkut (SP?) Volume II p. 90a. (These things can be obtained at a Yeshiva or a religious Jewish library.) It goes on to say, then, when it has connected Psalm 110 with II Samuel 16:1 and Isaiah 53, "Against God and His Messiah: "If I find the Son of the King, I shall lay hold of Him and crucify Him with a cruel death." The Talmud actually says that the Messiah would be crucified 'Litzlov oto' is exactly what it says, 'crucify'. This is one thing they cannot answer; it shocks them. http://www.moriel.org/articles/israel/jesus_in_the_talmud.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
