Nazi Attacks on the Talmud

i generally sympathize with Catholicism the most among Christian and probably all other religions, but you can't deny blemishes on its record. blaming Judaism for being cruel and passing selves as paragons of peacefulness and mercifulness while having richest history of violence is to put it mildly, a bit insincere. plus. i've met some other Christians, including one just last night, who are rather of the opinion that during the conquest of Promised land, for instance, we did not do enough in terms of 'decisiveness' in removing previous pagan population. damned if we do, damned if we don't: we're too 'cruel' for some Christians, and 'not cruel enough' for others )) Reply

I am a Christian pastor and one of my chief goals is end anti-semitism. It's one thing for a person to say they support the Jewish people. That's great. But anti-semitism takes on even more insidious forms when we fail to appreciate the rich heritage of the Jewish faith as found in the Talmud. So many lies have been told about this wonderful collection of wisdom, halacka and ethics. Its existence and its passing on from generation to generation has enabled the Jewish people to hang on during hard times, and flourish when given the opportunity. No other religious writings or group of writings encourages debate, discussion and critical thinking like the Talmud.
In many ways, Judaism is the more highly-cultivated and refined form of faith in G-d and Christianity has much to learn from it. The first thing it needs to learn is the surpassing value of Jewish tradition and sacred Jewish writings. Reply

I suppose, then the place to start is by reading the Talmud. Then you can revisit your response. Reply
