Exactly.In fact another clue is when you drink 'the blood of Christ' in church in the form of wine - those blood/alcohol levels must be off the scale!

Yes it does. Because of your absurd vendetta against Asher nobody knows which son of Jacob we're talking about...
Are you really prepared to go to these childish lengths for the sake of not seeing his name on the OT?

Read the whole Old Testament.

And its nearly impossible to tell when he's going to be loving God, and when he's going to be angry, violent God.
Thats the point - to be chosen to be a kingdom of priests, to be chosen to have a special relationship with G-d. You guys are looking for a "fair" relationship to G-d, that of a ruler to citizens, or a parent over children. Some traditional Jews might say that that makes sense, since that is the relationship YOU were meant to have. Our relationship is different. Its more intimate, more passionate, more unpredictable, more fraught with all kinds of emotions. Its more like a relationship with a lover. Peaks of hope and joy, to depths of disappointment and dispair.
Harold Bloom, otoh, the literary critic, sees the unpredictability of G-d, His "uncanniness" as Bloom calls it, as a residual of an earlier text, the "J" text, which is said to be the earliest source text for the Hebrew bible. The God of "J" is a different figure from the calm but judgemental G-d of "E". The God of J has an intimate, passionate uncanny relationship to the world. IIUC, Bloom relates this to Gnosticism."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment

Re: Re: Let's talk about Asher
Seeing as God is evidently a somewhat subjective entity (though each believer / believer-group claims unswerving certainty and objectivity) the interpretation of the 'will of God' is inevitably going to be subject to a certain amount of ambiguity and difference-of-opinion. When applied to the ownership of land, a certain amount of discord and discomfort seems inevitable.Originally posted by lord of the mark

Put bluntly, that's a scary concept you have there.Comment

Uh, we were taught that the Jews are God's chosen people and the Gentiles are the table scraps that God graciously let us in.When Christians look at the Hebrew Bible, even athiest Christians, typically the Jews disappear, and all thats left is the "old Testament God", inferior, as always, to the "new Testament God". This is an old way for Christians to read scripture.
Not sure what 'Christian interpretation' you are looking at, but that's not been my experience.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
