How can you sacrifice at the "Jerusalem temple" in Brooklyn. Anyway...Have you been in Brooklyn during/after Yomkipur? Animals slaughtered everywhere.
This also still happens in Israel as well.
The practices of Ancient Hebrews are very much well and alive within the tradition today. It’s under the context of ancient prophecy that the land and state of Israel exists how it does today.
I ask my Hindu friends about the caste system. I ask my Muslim friends about Sarah 53:49 and Astrology being shirk. I ask my Candomblé/Umbanda homies about animal sacrifice. This is no different.
I can rock with that. What is the purpose of that text, and independent of the Kanye situation, who and what is it referring to?
My point is/was when people stereotype "Jews" they are not thinking of Jews in a biblical context. They arent tracing a geneology to corroborate their stereotypes. When people refer to 'Jews' they mosy mean in the modern secular sense. Someone can identify as jewish and be completely atheist for exampl.
Jesus spoke to 7 congregations, christian congregations. Christianity was an offshoot of judaism, just as judaisim was an offshoot of patriarchal practices of ancient figures like Abraham, Enoch etc. The synagogie of satan perhaps refered to people who still held on to the jewish religious practices and wanted to stop these 'new christians' from being christians. Jesus was not warning againstvsigning bad music contracts and hiring lawyers who overcharge on their billable hours.
