Emile Vidrine,

>>THE REJECTION OF CHRIST IS THE CORNERSTONE OF MODERN TALMUDIC JUDAISM.<<
On what do you base this statement? This is how Judaism is practices in th U. S. today. About 14% of the U. S. Jewish community are members of Orthodox Judaism. This group is the most committed to Talmudic Tradition. I have noticed some of them to be more vocal in thier rejection of Christ, but even in thier case cornerstone seems to be too strong of a word. 85% of all U. S. Jews are Conservative, Reform, or unaffiliated. If thier is a cornerstone to thier practice, it would be "Humanism". Do they reject Christ? Sure they do, but no more than any other unbeliever. An idividual rabbi or Jewish person may have been more vocal in his rejection of Christ, but that is no reason to hate the whole jewish community. While they were mocking Jesus on the cross He said, "Father forgive them for they know not what they do." It is this kind of love that I admire, and this kind of love I will persue.
Besides, rejection is an absolute, there is no grey area. One person cannot be any more guilty of this than another. You either reject or you don't.

>>Therefore, it cannot be considered only another religion among numerous other false religions. It is the mother of false religions--the mother of whores.<<
Humanism predates rabbinacal teaching. How about Aristotle, or the serpant when she tempts Eve with "and you will be like God". Humanism is the ultimate form of idolitry --- was first practiced by Eve before the Hebrew race even existed --- and is a trap that all men past and present struggle with. We all want to be the final authority. My prayer is that by God's grace that you and I don't fall into it's clutches.
John 1:14
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
"Full of Grace" --- God grant that I would be so. Truth without grace is cold and hollow. I know, I've been there.
