    How did Jesus fulfil the law and the prophets?

    The starting point should be discovering what the Law actually is. Only then it may be ascertained if any one man can "fulfil" it all.

    Slavery IS Regulated in the Bible!

    Not everything was written down in the "Old Testament". Slavery was most certainly regulated because that was the reality of the times. Hence, we call that part of the Scripture Law or Teaching. The context it was presented in is why we don't practice slavery just like we don't practice polygamy...

    Slavery IS Regulated in the Bible!

    Neither Christianity nor Judaism practices slavery. The modern abolishment movement actually was born within Christianity. And even among the "Old Testament" Jews, slavery had always have a negative connotation- as in "remember you were once slaves in Egypt".

    Noahide Buddhism and Hinduism

    Seriously, without prejudice, as pious Jews-as the Chiristian texts maintain they were- assuming the Torah's origin of their judgement is the safest bet in the world. I perfectly well understand the reasons for the rejection of the Noahide Laws.

    Noahide Buddhism and Hinduism

    Personally, I don't care about the Noahide Laws or Christianity, one way or another. But, the judgement in the Acts came from somewhere and people who made that judgement, if they were proper Jews, would have consulted the Torah- the only Scripture available at the time. That's why their opinion...

    Noahide Buddhism and Hinduism

    Acts 15 19-21- those are Noahide Laws. Christianity is not that different from Judaism when it comes to the application of the Noahide Laws. Early Christians used them to circumvent the Mosaic Law. Judaism uses them as an alternative to conversation. Also.

    Noahide Buddhism and Hinduism

    There is no concept of salvation in Judaism nor Noahide Laws which are derived from Judaism. The Salvation is a Christian concept.

    The Moral Argument (revamped)

    Taking lives, even lawful killings have negative effects on people involved. We have a lot of examples of that from the 20th century Russia and Germany, for example. In the early Soviet history, the lawful executioners often became victims of alcoholism, severe mental instability, and in many...

    The Moral Argument (revamped)

    You don't need a Gd to lead a moral life. Morality is physically ingrained in our psyche- as witnessed by the PTSD reactions among people involved in taking lives- be that soldiers, executioners or mass murders. More so, the history of a human development and organization is purely based on what...

    Does Lucifer Have Free Will?

    When did this fascination with evil began among the Christians? Is this the New Testament thing or is it a later development? Lucifer must be a later invention as the name is but a mistranslation and certainly doesn't refer to any "fallen" angel, nor is the Satan an evil being.

    God fearing and did what was right..

    Putting fences around the Torah can be seen as going too far or beyond. We don't see it that way, however.

    God fearing and did what was right..

    My point being that oversimplifying is as bad as overcomplicating. We are tasked to do what is required- no more, no less. Anything below that or beyond can be a minefield.

    God fearing and did what was right..

    Lol! A Gd fearing individual does what is right. Ponder that statement, keeping in mind the effort Moses put into writing down what is right...and wrong.

    Query about believers who sin

    The relationship between sin/man/Gd is established early in the Bible- in the story of Cain and Able. It is repeated throughout the text. Actually, the very definition of a righteous man is of one who fails, numerous times, but gets up to try again and again.

    What is a moderate Muslim?

    Lol! That might be going too far. Historically speaking, a moderate Islam is one that allows other religions to exist- after paying a tax.
