The phrase that got me exicted was your error and was central to all my
arguments. There has been no later development of Judaism. Can't you support or
withdraw your statements instead of claiming each one I reject as tangential to
your argument?
You wrote:
It occurred to me after sending a recent post, an excerpt of which is below,
that there is a fairly clear way of making the necessary distinction between
biology & theology. The directions in the OT for the extermination of
non-Israelite
populations represent one way of guarding against "contamination" of a
group's gene pool
& thus improving the chances for reproductive success & survival for that
group.
Yet such tactics are profoundly inconsistent with the later development of
Judaism & with Christian theology & ethics.
You concede the argument but slip out of it by suggesting things have
changed. I repeat, what later development of Judaism is your statement profoundly
inconsistent with?
