Whatever I can see why y'all get so freaked out... First of all, in doing a quick search of the Hebrew and Christian bibles, we find a remarkable difference. In the Jewish bible (Tanakh), we find three separate references to Satan (the book of Job is considered one reference because it is one continuous story). However, in the New Testament, a book 1/3 the size of the Hebrew bible, we find 35 references to Satan. If we add the word “devil” to the search, we get an additional 32 references in the New Testament. In total, a search using different euphemisms for Satan leaves us with well over a hundred references. So, the first thing we need to understand is that in Judaism, HaSatan is not a main focus of our relationship with HaShem (G-d). Whereas, Christianity almost seems preoccupied with him

Senators endorse Iran sanctions in budget vote By Jordain Carney March 26, 2015, 06:08 pm thehill.com Senators unanimously approved an amendment Thursday that backs bolstering sanctions against Iran if President Obama can't verify that the country is following a nuclear deal. The wave of support came after the amendment, offered by Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), was amended. The Illinois Republican's amendment originally supported restoring rolled-back sanctions, as well as applying new sanctions, if Iran violated the interim deal currently in place or a long-term agreement on its nuclear program. The final amendment supports reimposed and new sanctions against Iran if Obama "cannot make a determination and certify that Iran is complying" with an agreement. The amendment establishes a "deficit-neutral reserve fund," meaning that it can't add to the deficit, and is nonbinding, but it does get senators on the record on Iran sanctions. Kirk is behind a separate piece of legislation that would ratchet up sanctions against Iran. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said earlier this week that lawmakers would take up that bill if a deal isn't reached. Negotiators are currently facing an end-of-the-month deadline to reach a framework agreement for a long-term nuclear deal, with a final deadline at the end of June.
