Whose view of the O T is authoritative? Jewry or Christianity?

Curse you for beating me to this joke.

also note christianity doesn't take anything away from the jewish faith, it just adds on. hygene laws are replaced with up to date hygene methods,

What the fuck are you talking about? Do you EVER know what you are talking about or do you just bend over and pull shit out of your ass. Every fucking thing you say needs to be checked because the vast majority of the time you're clueless.

The early Christians rejected most anything Roman, including the value of cleanliness. They considered it unsanitary to be clean, sinful to display material wealth. "All is vanity," stated an early Christian writer. St. Benedict pronounced that "to those that are well, and especially for the young, bathing shall seldom be permitted." A 4th century pilgrim to Jerusalem would brag that she had not washed her face for 18 years so as "not to disturb the holy water" used at her baptism.

When the Greek and Roman Empires came to rise, they were horrified by the stench of those they conquered. Cleanliness, on the other hand was a huge priority for both men and women of this time. The Romans are associated with inventing the “bath house” and the Greeks introduced the use of clay, pumice and oil in these bathhouses. Every conquered and established colony was complete with a large bathhouse. The early use of “soap” was a compound form of animal fat and wood ashes that would harden and naturally cleanse clothing, hair and skin.

But then....along came the jesus freaks!

With the rise of Christianity, bathing became associated with paganism. In fact, the early Christians took pride in not bathing and looked down on those who did so. St. Agnes, the young Christian martyr who died at the age of 12, was buried un bathed and unclean.

Must be where the phrase Dirty Xtian came from!

and jesus is a sock puppet to most of them as well..that is the very description of "idol" in the bible. They dont worship the Jesus of the bible. They worship the Jesus of their own making..like Aleu's aunt.

Why the fuck...those have nothing to do with sanitation...

The old testament says shellfish are abominations (like homosexuals are), then the new testament says shell fish are fine.

I deduce that if the God of the bible exists, then he is not perfect. Perfect gods do not change their minds on what an abomination is or not.

And circumcision is COMPLETELY useless...there is no reason at all why we should continue the practice other than religious reasons.

we were talking about how the jew's hygene laws. i've explained the thing about homosexuality and i'm sick of explaining it. circumcision is a way to keep that body part clean. it's easier to clean if it's circumcised. look it up, tell me i'm wrong. also, we're not talking about whether christianity is true or not, i stated my opinion on this subject, and Minimalist stated one of my claims were BS and i defended it.
