He has done it hereTheoryofrelativity said:well can you direct me to the explanation?
Yet he wont elaborate with any biblical or Torah verses to validate his approach to this chosen people concept .The Devil Inside said:"chosen people" means that the jews have a greater responsibility toward the rest of humanity, to teach them and to be humanitarian above all other groups of people.
How about offering up an explanation for these verses , you afterall readily voluteer your opinion on Islamic matters why not here ?spidergoat said:Every group wants to believe they're the best.
Brian Foley said:Old post ! you have only been a member here since February ! And that first quote was from 3 weeks ago . Dont crawl out of it , I have PMed Mountainhare to come here and see this climb down .
Where did i say Jews were a race ?
Okay , this from a poster who leads crusades about offensive Islamic verses and blod libels , finds the quotes about chosen people with a divine rod justice eventually ruling the world with all the worlds races serving them is acceptable . I expected you to argue you here , in fact you are running again Geoff , you are just proving and reinforcing my belief that you are just a anti-Arab bigot .
Brian Foley said:Yet he wont elaborate with any biblical or Torah verses to validate his approach to this chosen people concept .
So you finally agree with me and mountain that Jews are simply a loose confederation of converts consisting of many different races , nationalities and cultures .GeoffP said:Yawn...ok. Already clarified what the analysis means. I considered Jews to be a race in the genetic sense before I saw the data, but the data indicates that they are a 'race', best case, in the sense that they're a culturally distinct group with marginal breeding isolation. I was wrong in my assumption about Jewish genetics, but then again I'm not into human genetics. Crawling out of what, exactly?
No I never said anything of the sort on this thread , I have not said it was racist I said it was a supremacist ideology . Now I would like an explanation why you don’t find these verses offensive .GeoffP said:On this thread, dipshit. If you want to call those statements racist, then the Jews by definition have to be a race in your argument, since you claim they're excluding anyone not of the Jewish "race".
God did tell them to take it by force and murder the inhabitants its completely within Exodus 6:2-3 please read it .GeoffP said:Moreover, it says God will give them all this, not that they should go out and chop off the heads of infidels unless they capitulate or convert.

Yes it does ! What examples would you like of Biblical and Torah verses which speak of such actions ? Tell me and I will provide .GeoffP said:It doesn't say, for example, "strike at the necks of the unbelievers" or mirror the subtle fascist message of Q 2:256.
Sounds like to me you are fucked on this thread .GeoffP said:Seriously, I fail to see how you can be so dense.
Another cop out , you haven’t the mettle to engage me in a debate about religion you are a straw person .The Devil Inside said:i am not going to offer scriptural justifications because i am done arguing scripture with people on the internet,
As far as I know, Moses said it.How about offering up an explanation for these verses , you afterall readily voluteer your opinion on Islamic matters why not here ?
Moses only wrote up to the first 5 books of Exodus .spidergoat said:As far as I know, Moses said it.

The Jews believe only they have a special relationship with God which excludes Gentiles . And the Jews believe their God ends up making these gentiles the slaves ,whilst the Jews rule the world and all the worlds races and nations from their capital in Jerusalem .spidergoat said:Hmmm, it sounds like God is describing a special relationship with these people because they have acted like He wants them to.
Who wrote the Bible God or man ? You talk here as if you actually believe this Bible was written by God himself . The Bible is mainly a rip off from other religions stories such as genesis came from the story of Gilgamesh and samson from the Egyptians .spidergoat said:It's not like the Jews all get together and decide what's in the bible, it was written a long time ago. They can't just change it, either. I mean, we all know ham isn't that bad for you, but many Jews still won't eat it. They do alot of things just because it's traditional.
Self critical , could youn give me examples of this self criticism .spidergoat said:Most Jews that I know don't have an enflated ego about it, in fact they seem to be the most self-critical people around.
Could you discuss the verses I quoted and tell me what you think of them.spidergoat said:Sure, this passage may seem to justify living in Israel, but it's interpretation may be questioned. In Judaism, there are places where they all debate what things from the Torah mean. I saw it in Yentil.
No you have no idea I have and another poster have tried to engage you on this and :The Devil Inside said:it is obvious that you know absolutely nothing on the subject.
Theoryofrelativity said:The 'chosen one ' theme is accurate, please explain it? Devil inside are you able to explain it, maybe you have done so and I missed it? Please direct me to the reply..thank you.
This was your answer :Brian Foley said:Yet he wont elaborate with any biblical or Torah verses to validate his approach to this chosen people concept .
A cop out , you have no idea how to argue this point , because you have no scripture knowledge , so the matter is closed .The Devil Inside said:it is a cultural interpretation of the idea of being a "chosen people".i am not going to offer scriptural justifications because i am done arguing scripture with people on the internet, and i dont wish to seem "holier than thou" on a religious matter.
I meant first 6 chapters of the book of the exodus , besides you arent Jewish so why would it bo ther you and secondly before I forget :The Devil Inside said:exodus is ONE of the books in the torah, the torah is not called "exodus".
Now this will be the last time I answer you .The Devil Inside said:Todays lesson on working together
Brian Foley
This message is hidden because Brian Foley is on your ignore list.
No , it is completely a retraction and stand down from your assertion here :GeoffP said:No, that is incorrect.
GeoffP said:Cartoons - bad for your health?
Wrong again. One is offensive to the religious position of muslims - who, as you know, are not a race - and one to the existence of Jews, which are a race.
Plenty here agree with me , there is a concensus here now on sciforums that we a dealing with an idiot called GeoffP .Forrest Gump said:So, no, I don't agree with you, in any way. Believe me, Foley: agreeing with you is the very last thing a person of intelligence would want to do.
I dont think so , on here alone I have accomplished yet again showing you caught out contradicting yourself . I ahve to wait for mountainhare to see this and join in , he is at uni studying , dont worry if ever someone has made himself look a total Arsehole its you .Forrest Gump said:Why is it that you struggle so hard to achieve: nothing?
I know where its going , once again 7 posts from GeoffP and true to form he has not even touched the verses i quoted in my thraed .Forrest Gump said:I have no idea where you're going in this respect, and I suspect that you have no idea either.
Yeah , how many Palestinians have died since 1948 ?Forrest Gump said:And they're still doing this?
Ahhhh , for starters isnt the Jewish claim to Israel a Biblical claim ? I mean you can read here how Israeli Jews are doing just that .Forrest Gump said:Provide what you like; then, illustrate how such messages are meant not as historical reference; then, cite how Jewish people are using such passages to justify their actions.
Savvy ?Expert: Judea and Samaria belong to Israel
Biblical birthright
The Jewish people further trace their right to the land to the Bible, which records Israel’s original settlement of the area in ca. 1500 BC under God’s direction.
In the pages of what is known as the Torah, the Almighty promises all the land from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea to the descendents of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as a perpetual possession.
Overwhelming archeological evidence attests to millennia of Jewish sovereignty in what is now Israel, the “West Bank”, Gaza and much of Jordan and southern Lebanon.
Yasser Arafat’s Palestinian Authority recently aired an “educational” television program claiming the biblical Hebrews were actually Arabs, that the land was dominated by Islam in biblical times, and that “Canaanite Arabs” built Solomon’s Temple.
