Why is Faith/Belief a Moral Issue?

[Drich]

Now I ask you in that light what should my response be?

Enlightening, I do hope. But your resorting to a barrage of common insults does raise some doubts.

Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished

Enlightened like Christ? or Buddha?

Again, if like Christ I will point to the examples of his 'enlighten' Harsh rebuking of the Pharisees who like you twisted the law so as to personally benfit from it. which is exactly what you are trying to do by cutting up Numbers 5 and skipping over context that proves you wrong!

You have made the claim that we cherry pick, but You have been caught red handed! Your post selects the 'cherrys' from the block of text, and you placed those cherrys in a row to support your lie. But when one reads the whole text without your cherry picking prompts you get a whole different meaning.

So give us the whole context of these beautiful words, oh wise one. But before you think of doing the usual stepdance of cherry picking your book and saying it doesn't concern christians because of Jesus, let me add another quote - out of context I'm sure.

I've already done that... "though they have eyes, they can not see."
Start reading at verse 19. If you go back to my response to you you will note I posted everything you cut out.

If you care to read carfully you will note that a suspected woman takes an oath that she did not cheat then drinks 'special water.' Through this water God punishes the guilty by killing the unborn baby (IF she has one) and it renders the woman sterile. But through this very same water a innocent woman is set free without consenquence.

No one is aborting babies. God used that water to punish the guilty and free the innocent.
