Mercer: American Rabbis Practice Pop Judaism, For The Most
[Barely a Blog] America’s rabbis are mostly dumb, eschatologically and generally. I wouldn’t take seriously anything they say about President Donald Trump.Not unlike their Christian compatriots in the ministry and the priesthood‐rabbis are generally an unscholarly lot, more inclined to pop-religion and social justice. Like their Christian friends, rabbis aim to bring religion in line with self-help literature and common leftist spiritual and political hobbyhorses and quests. Thus, you have this silly "’Rabbi," who, "At Mike a Pence Rally Thinks Jews Who Deny Christ Go To Hell." It’s simply untrue, from the perspective of Judaism. Judaism considers Yehoshua, aka Yeshu, aka Jesus Christ, a prophet, not part of a Godhead (which we don’t have). Thus, there is no punishment of hell for giving the cold shoulder to a prophet. On the other hand, other Jewish leaders acted ungraciously, even disgracefully, in snubbing President Trump, on his visit to grieving Pittsburgh on Tuesday afternoon: Shameful. You don’t reject a show of mercy and compassion. Posted by: Besoeker 2018-11-01 |
