No prize and 1 guess as to whom they would write in as the 'Chosen people' and the ones God love, even unto smiting other creations of God, and how their God would promise an adulterer-murderer that one of his descendants would be the Judean messiah (who incidentally for the Jews hasn't arrive yet)?<BR/><BR/>No different to what's happening (being written) here in Malaysia & ketuanan Melayu & the NEP & the so-called 'social contract', etc.KTemochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09951253039042572381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11109306.post-86279093613520871412008-02-09T09:44:00.000+08:002008-02-09T09:44:00.000+08:00Wonderful write up.Applying the rationale used her...Wonderful write up.<BR/><BR/>Applying the rationale used here I now have to question the righteousness of God Almighty himself when he levelled the walls of Jericho for Joshua to run over it and basically ransack the city. And all of this by just marching around the walls of Jericho 7 times and blowing their trumpets!<BR/><BR/>Oh yes, Joshua succeeded Aaron, the successor of Moses, the Prophet in Islam, and he was leading the Jews under orders from God Almighty himself. Presumably the residents of Jericho then were the ancestors of present day Palestinians! <BR/><BR/>So you see, it is not new that the Palestinians have just had a bad deal. They seem to have had a bad deal for more than 3 thousand years I suppose!<BR/><BR/>So talking of the miracle of Israel, I just cannot help but see it as a miracle indeed!Old Farthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473446507494861946noreply@blogger.com
