Encouragement and Advice

RE: Encouragement and Advice
Um...you don't know what you are talking about either.

http://www.myjewishlearning.com/beliefs/...Hell.shtml

Quote:The catastrophe of 70 CE caused a theological crisis. How could it be that the God of Israel would simply allow His sanctuary to be destroyed and His people to be vanquished at the hands of the Roman Empire? While the rabbis often claimed that it was the Israelites' sinfulness that led God to allow it to be defeated (mi-p'nei hataeinu, "because of our sins"), it was more difficult to explain why good and decent individual Jews were made to suffer.

This led to the development of another theological claim: "Rabbi Ya'akov taught: This world is compared to an ante-chamber that leads to Olam Ha-Ba, (the World-to-Come)" (Pirkei Avot 4:21). That is, while a righteous person might suffer in this lifetime, he or she will certainly be rewarded in the next world, and that reward will be much greater.

But the Mishnah was cobbled together beginning in the 2d century AD...long after your silly excuse for a god was dead even according to your own preposterous story.

Oddly...or perhaps not so oddly...while the NT excoriates the Pharisses it has little to say about the Sadducees. This is odd because,

http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsou...senes.html

Quote:The Pharisees also maintained that an after-life existed and that God punished the wicked and rewarded the righteous in the world to come. They also believed in a messiah who would herald an era of world peace.

It would seem that the Pharisees should have been the natural allies if there was anything at all to the jesus tale. But, the Sadducees disappeared when the temple burned down and all that was left were the Pharisees to serve as the "bad guys" in the comic book you call the NT.
