  1. In Texas, the GOP wants teachers to hang up the 10 commandments in every classroom.

    It is just funny to see how Talarico shows the hypocrisy of Republican legislators in mandating that.

  2. "Israel declared Taybeh, the last Christian town in the West Bank, a military zone, as local Christians cry out to the world for justice.

    What is going on in Taybeh is very serious. For the last three years, settlers have attacked the villages near the settlements and burned the olive trees and the fields belonging to the Palestinians.

    These settlers want to terrorize the people to flee and leave their homes. If they control the city, they could delete the long Christian history of this place."

  4. Goodbye Jerusalem

    Since the dawn of Islam, Jerusalem has been an integral part of its faith. Its air carries the blessed breaths of messengers who chanted the remembrance of God and called for His oneness. Its Al-Aqsa Mosque is the place of the Prophet’s Night Journey, may God bless him and grant him peace. God has blessed its surroundings and multiplied the reward for those who worship in it. How many stories have been told in its path, and how many heroic deeds and stances have been recorded in its courtyards?

  5. "[A] #Jewish #scholar of #Christian #Scriptures. Levine has worked to improve how #Christians and her fellow #Jews understand each other. She's spoken at many #churches and taught students about the ancient Jewish context of Jesus' life and teachings. She's #authored numerous #books, some in tandem with Christian #scholars; she and a co- #author even presented one #book personally to #Pope Francis.

    But after the #Catholic Biblical Association of #America announced earlier this month that Levine was elected its first-ever Jewish president, an #antisemitic backlash began.

    Denunciations appeared [...] Critics called her “anti-Christian,” claimed she's trying to hijack #Catholicism, denounced Jews for not accepting Jesus, and tacked on anti- #Zionist comments.

    While some questioned why the association would appoint anyone who wasn't a Catholic, much of the criticism was infused with anti-Jewish statements. They come at a time of rising #antisemitism in the country.

  6. RE: mstdn.social/@calmeilles/11713

    They have said the same thing about #Lebanon and #Syria. Their goal is to control all of the #Levant. They want an end to all #Christians and all #Muslims, and any #Jews from #Africa or dark skinned countries. They are an ethnostate enforcing apartheid with our money. We need to end support for Israel. Free #Palestine from the river to the sea.

  8. "The Forward compiled and reviewed video of 10 #pageants in the #US since 2020 that feature a #Jewish character named “zhyd,” “Moshko” or “Chaim,” and sometimes his wife, usually named Sarah. All were posted to social media, in many cases by the #churches themselves.

    The pageants mix and match a few motifs, all showing these two #Jews in a negative light as they try to lure #Christians to commit sin. Some tempt the faithful with goods, loans or liquor. Some mock believers for worshipping #Christ; curse Christians; summon and collude with the #devil, or betray baby #Jesus to #KingHerod, who is seeking to kill him.

    Most of the #actors playing the zhyd role wore what look to be #peyos, the sidelocks traditionally worn by #Orthodox #Jews. In one instance, the character wore an exaggerated #fakenose.

    The Forward located photos from an additional eight pageants for which video is not publicly available that show actors with what appear to be peyos or a fake nose."

  9. My people came from Vilna. I have zero desire to go visit Europe. Its just one giant Jewish graveyard in my mind.

    "A rare "antisemitic incident in #Lithuania: A local #blogger and #socialmedia activist was arrested after being filmed spitting at three #Israeli #rabbis visiting #Vilnius and urging others to do the same.

    According to #Lithuanian authorities, the suspect, #GintarasLiutkevičius, posted a video on social media showing him approaching the three #Jews, who were wearing traditional religious clothing, spitting toward them and encouraging others to follow his example.

    “I heard you love to spit on #Christians ... what if I spit on you?” he is heard saying in the video. “You need to go home. This is not your home. This is Lithuania — go home.”

  10. What is a captive that the right hands possess?

    first of all it confined the issue of taking captives to the period of warfare. This is just as a situation necessitated by hostility between warring states. Then it allowed the female captives to be married by their captors. But why? Does this mean giving men a golden chance to unleash their sexual desires or to sexually brutalize those captives? No, not at all!

    By the time of his passing in 632 CE, he had successfully unified nearly the entire Arabian Peninsula. Long-standing tribal divisions were replaced with a shared religious and political identity under the banner of Islam.

  15. Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·

    Samaritanism

    Samaritanism is an Abrahamic monotheistic, ethnic religion. It comprises the collective spiritual, cultural, & legal traditions of the Samaritan people.

    Often preferring to be called Israelite Samaritans, who originated from the Hebrews & Israelites. They began to emerge as a relatively distinct group after the Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire during the Iron Age. The Neo-Assyrian Empire was the 4th, & penultimate, stage of ancient Assyrian history.

    Central to their continuity as an Indigenous Heritage in the Holy Land is keeping the Patriarchal & Mosaic covenant as specified in the Samaritan Torah. Samaritans believe this is the original & unchanged version of the Pentateuch (which is the first 5 books of the Hebrew & Christian bible) since Moses & the Israelites at Mount Sinai.

    The Abisha Scroll is traditionally held by the community to be the oldest existing scroll written by Abisha, son of Aaron the priest, around 3,000 years ago based on living tradition. However, Jewish & Christian theologians have made attempts to dispute this claim which proved unsatisfactory.

    Judaism claims Samaritanism developed right alongside their own religion. Samaritanism asserts itself as the true preserved form of the monotheistic faith that the Israelites kept under Moses. Samaritan belief also holds that the Israelites’ original holy site was Mount Gerizim, near Nablus, the State of Palestine (West Bank).

    They also believe that Jerusalem only attained importance under Israelite dissenters who had followed Eli (In the Book of Samuel, Eli was a priest & judge of the Israelites in the city of Shiloh) to the city of Shiloh.

    The Israelites who remained at Mount Gerizim would become the Samaritans in the Kingdom of Judah. Mount Gerizim is revered by Samaritans as the location where the Binding of Isaac occurred. In comparison to the Jewish belief that it occurred at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.

    Today there are only about 900 registered communal members. This puts Samaritanism as 1 of the smallest ethnoreligious groups globally in the Abrahamic faiths. Samaritans believe that this is a prophecy fulfilled from the scriptures: “You’ll be left few in number.”

    Though they hope for a future time when a prophet like Moses known as the “Taheb” (Restorer) will perform 3 signs, namely the jar of manna, the staff of Moses, & Cherubim, or the Golden Candlestick.

    This time period they believe is when an era of Divine Favor would return, & the hidden tabernacle of Moses would miraculously be revealed for the Israelite people & Mount Gerizim is restored to its former glory.

    Samaritans trace their history, as a separate entity, to a period soon after the Israelites’ arrival into the “Promised Land.” Samaritan historiography traces the schism to High Priest Eli leaving Mount Gerizim, where stood the 1st Israelite altar in Canaan, & building a competing altar in nearby Shiloh.

    The dissenting group of Israelites who followed Eli to Shiloh would be the ones who, in later years, would head south to settle in Jerusalem (the Jews). Whereas the Israelites who stayed on Mount Gerizim, in Samaria, would become known as the Samaritans.

    Genetic studies in 2004 suggest that Samaritans’ lineages trace back to a common ancestor with Jews in the paternally-inherited Jewish high priesthood (Cohanim) temporally near to the period of the Assyrian conquest of the Kingdom of Israel. They’re probably descendants of the historical Israelite population. The Cohanim refers to the Jewish priestly class, male descendants of Aaron the priest.

    The Hasmonean king, John Hyrcanus, destroyed the Mount Gerizim Temple & brought Samaria under his control around 120 BCE. This led to a long-lasting sense of mutual hostility between the Jews & Samaritans.

    From this point, the Samaritans likely sought to consciously distance themselves from their Judean brethren. Both peoples came to see the Samaritan faith as a religion distinct from Judaism. By the time of Jesus, Samaritans & Jews deeply disparaged one another, as shown by Jesus’ Parable of the Good Samaritan.

    The main beliefs of Samaritanism are:

    • There’s 1 God, Yahweh, the same God recognized by the Jewish prophets.
    • The Torah is the only true holy book & was given by God to Moses. The Torah was created before the creation of the world & whoever believes in it is assured a part in the world to come. The Torah’s status in Samaritanism as the only holy book causes them to reject the Oral Torah, the Talmud, & all the prophets & scriptures, except for a version of the Book of Joshua (which they don’t hold as Scripture), whose book in the Samaritan community is significantly different from the Book of Joshua in the Jewish “Bible.” Moses is considered to be the last of the line of prophets.
    • Mount Gerizim, not Jerusalem, is the 1 true sanctuary chosen by God. The Samaritans don’t recognize the sanctity of Jerusalem & don’t recognize the Temple Mount, claiming instead that Mount Gerizim was the place where the Binding of Isaac took place.
    • The Apocalypse, called “the day of vengeance,” will be the end of days. When an entity called the Taheb (basically the Jewish Messiah equal) that comes from the tribe of Joseph will come, be a prophet like Moses for 40 years & bring about the return of all the Israelites, following which the dead will be resurrected. The Tahib will then discover the tent of Moses’ Tabernacle on Mount Gerizim, & will be buried next to Joseph when he dies.

    The Samaritans have retained the institution of a high priesthood & the practice of slaughtering & eating lambs on Passover Eve. They celebrated Pesach, Shavuot, & Sukkot. But they use a different method from that used in mainstream Judaism in order to determine the dates annually.

    For example, Yom Teru’ah (the biblical name for Rosh Hashanah), at the beginning of Tishrei (This is the 1st month of the civil year & the 7th month of the ecclesiastical year in the Hebrew calendar.), isn’t considered a New Year as it is in Rabbinic Judaism.

    Their Sabbath is observed weekly by the Samaritan community every week from Friday to Saturday, beginning & ending at sundown. For 24 hours, the families gather together to celebrate the rest day: all electricity with the exception of minimal lighting (kept on the entire day) in the house is disconnected, no work is done, & neither cooking nor driving is allowed.

    The time is devoted to worship which consists of 7 prayer services, reading the weekly Torah portion, spending quality time with family, taking meals, rest & sleep, & visiting other members of the community.

    Passover is particularly important in the Samaritan community, climaxing with the sacrifice of up to 40 sheep.

    The Counting of the Omar remains relatively unchanged. The Counting of the Omar is a ritual in Judaism that consists of a verbal counting of each of the 49 days between the holidays of Passover & Shavuot. However, the week before Shavuot is a unique festival celebrating the continued commitment Samaritanism has maintained since the time of Moses.

    During Sukkot, the Sukkah (the temporary hut built for use during Sukkot) is built INSIDE of houses, instead of OUTSIDE like mainstream Judaism. This Samaritan tradition is traced back to the persecution of the Samaritans during the Byzantine Empire.

    The roof of the Samaritan Sukkah is decorated with citrus fruits & branches of palm, myrtle, & willow trees. This is in accordance with the Samaritan interpretation of the 4 species designated in the Torah for the holiday. The 4 species are 4 plants (the etrog, lulav, hadass, & aravah) mentioned in the Torah as being relevant to the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

  21. @RationalizedInsanity “there are more rape claims against #trump than there are #transgender women in the #NCAA

    For #fascists, this is their foot in the door. Foment fear and hate against a very small minority, then increase the size of group to hate until the #maga #truebelievers are fully aligned against all #lgbtq and #GayMarriage… and eventually all non #Christians

  22. This week’s #EfM #reading is Paul’s letter to the #Galatians which largely answers the question of how #Paul if he were alive now, might respond to being trolled by #Christians online. You can almost hear the “yes, but…” and “that’s not what I meant” breaks in the letter which is fascinating given that one theory about when Galatians was written would make it the oldest surviving Christian document of any kind.

    As in many online “discussions”, Paul’s arguments are convoluted although his main points are relatively clear. He believes that 1) God’s favor is universal, 2) justification or being right with #God, stems from #faith, not works of the law, 3) the coming of Jesus was a radical shift in history marking the beginning of a new phase of God’s plan, and 4) the Holy Spirit produces what works and the law only describe but cannot actually create. Amazingly, there are modern Christians who still don’t believe any of that. Maybe I should begin quoting Paul at them when we disagree…

  23. So many of my students come to Hebrew not just with a love of language—but with a deep desire to connect more personally with the Bible, the land of Israel, and their faith.

    I received a moving video from one such student who shared how she found “Hebrew by Inbal” on her journey to read, write, and speak Hebrew - excited to deepen her spiritual walk in ways she never expected.

    Her story is beautiful, and it reflects the heart of so many who come to Hebrew with faith as their guide. Watch, be inspired, and if this speaks to you—know you’re not alone on this path. 💙✡️📖

    #Christians claim that God is all-forgiving—so why does the #Bible say there's one sin He can’t #forgive? In this video, I break down the doctrine of #blasphemy against the #HolySpirit, examining the verses, #contradictions, and #theological confusion surrounding it. We also expose how #Christian #pastors and #apologists can’t even agree on what this sin actually is or if it can be committed today.

  25. Thousands Sign Christian Petition Demanding #SamuelAlito Resign: 'Unfit'

    Opinion by Natalie Venegas
    June 16, 2024

    "A petition created by #FaithfulAmerica is nearing its goal of signatures on Sunday as they demand Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito to resign amid his recent controversies.

    "In its petition from Wednesday, with a goal of 15,000 signatures, Faithful America, an organization of #Christians supporting #SocialJustice causes while opposing '#ChristianNationalism,' is demanding the conservative justice resign after he was heard in a secret recording agreeing that the United States should return 'to a place of godliness' as well as for two flags that were previously flown outside the justice's home."
