Russ, there are other religions that also teach the Golden Rule, for starters. I don't know the exact wording, but I read that in the scriptures of Islam, Buddhism, & 4 others (not Judaism) it says something like, "No man is a believer until he wants for his brother what he wants for himself."

As to the common sense wisdom expressed in your long list, this is not exclusive to the Bible.

Also, I would like to know how YOU interpret Revelation 3:9? Never mind how your religious teachers have instructed you to interpret it.

I like the Book of Revelation, too, and since my brain is no worse than anyone else's, I interpret it according to my own sensibilities.

How incorrect it is for anyone to say that "Israel" in the Bible means Europe! There are no two broad races of humanity more dissimilar than Semites and Whites. My cat is closer to being a duck than your average white person (European) is to the Tribe of Judea.

By the way, if the people occupying Israel today are fakes, where are the "true" Judeans located?

It doesn't matter whether the occupants of Israel today are supposedly the Khazars of old, or the "true" Jews: they have over the centuries been made all the same in outlook by the centuries-old practice of infant male genital cutting. Maimonides himself described at least partially the way in which infant "circumcision" changes the mentality of a race of people over the years;and a few modern scientists have suggested the same thing. You could take any race, anywhere, and over centuries of infant circumcision - it has to be done to infants, not to adults or adolescents as in rites of passage - it changes the actual function and structure of the brain, producing an attitude totally at odds with the rest of the world's people - and is that not what we have in the "jews" of today, a people who have designated themselves as "Chosen" and everyone else as scum, sarcastically referred to as "the UNcircumcised"? (Read an unexpurgated version of the Talmud to see what I mean.)


Infant genital cutting is NOT just a symbolic marker of some kind of covenant; it is a form of eugenics. And it has been spectacularly successful. Abraham was no fool. The act of cutting away a portion of the infant's sex organ does its nefarious work through (A) the immediate, severe pain affecting the nervous system permanently; and (B) constant exposure of the glans penis throughout life also having a deleterious effect on brain function, through rubbing & chafing against clothing. (But I can assure you that the money needed for such research will never become available, and even if it is, the results will be immediately blasted as "racist".)

I don't think that all races of the world have access to the gift of salvation in the way the bible describes it.

You never asked me or anyone else here on this forum how we might interpret anything in the bible, esp. The Book of Revelation. I would like to hear the opinions of various religionists and non-religionists.
