Islam vs. Christianity

 

Apologies for my posting being a little hap hazard lately, but life has an uncanny way of interfering with blogging, making it difficult to produce the goods the way that I like to. I prefer to skip a day rather than to deliver something you may find disappointing. That's just me, and unfortunately that will never change....

I received this video from a dear Jewish friend of mine, who has been my closest friend for some twenty years, and who I treasure as a brother I never had.

A little something to make you laugh whilst we wait for life to take a back seat....

Ann,

I'm only saying it wasn't funny.

YES, I am.

GD,
At least you have a sense of humor.

Simple case of misidentification I'm sure... here's a snapshot of me representing one of my gestalts:

As for the clip, I thought it was kind of lame, but then my sense of humor has been deficient lately.

Shalom to all, Mac Brachman

I like the picture of the three frogs...it is very colorful :)

You sould. That frog is you, taken in a time-lapse sequential exposure.

Well bless you for missing me....yes I should be back on track soon, and fitting in real life with every day blogging is at times simply impossible. All is extremely well though, and back on track soon.

Alexandra, I hope all is well with you and that it is just the difficulty of fitting 36 hours into a 24-hour day that is keeping you away from your post here. I have to admit to missing it terribly when I don't see a new post in the morning, but I know what it's like to downgrade quality to make up time, and it's not the way to go. Your posts are worth the wait!

The video was very funny. I have to hand it to Stewart and Colbert, they are quick, even if I don't like their message. Are there any really funny conservative comedians out there?

Free Stinker,

Chill already, we are all God loving people here, be it Christians or Jews, but unlike the Muslims we are able to laugh at ourselves. Would you like to impose the Mohammad Cartoon sanctions on our humor as well?

Liquid,

Large swathes of the "Post-Christian" West are indeed regressing to that prior state of paganism.

Just watch TV on a Friday night. The pornographication of the West has begun...

Thanks for sharing that Alexandra! BTW, I don't know if anyone will be interested in this but I just thought I would share...

Today it is commonly said that Christianity needs to reappropriate its Jewish dimensions, including the Jewishness of Jesus, and that is undoubtedly part of the truth. But this should not be understood as a matter of taking some parts from the Jewish house next door in order to rehabilitate our Christian house. We live in the same house, of which Christians say with St. Paul that the Jewish Christ is the cornerstone (Ephesians 2:20). To change the metaphor somewhat, we live in the house of the one people of God only as we live with the Jews of whom Jesus was—and eternally is—one. The second Person of the Holy Trinity, true God and true man, is Jewish flesh. As is the eucharistic body we receive, as is the Body of Christ into which we are incorporated by Baptism. It is said that when John XXIII, then papal nuncio in Paris, first saw the pictures of the Jewish corpses at Auschwitz, he exclaimed, “There is the Body of Christ!”

All such insights are but variations on the words of Paul that must, for Christians, be ever at the center of our reflection on the mystery of living Judaism: “But if some of the branches were broken off and you, a wild olive shoot, were grafted in their place to share the richness of the olive tree, do not boast over the branches. If you do boast, remember it is not you that support the root, but the root that supports you. . . . So do not be proud, but stand in awe” (Romans 12:17ff). “Salvation is from the Jews.” This people is not, as the aforementioned Bible commentator suggests, a “point of departure” but remains until the end of time our point of arrival. By the appointment of the God whom we worship, we travel together, joined in awe of one another, sometimes in fear of one another, always in argument with one another, until that final point of arrival when we shall know even as we are known (1 Corinthians 13:12).

When we Christians do not walk together with Jews, we are in danger of regressing to the paganism from which we emerged.

“Salvation Is from the Jews”

This commits the grandest crime of humor - not being funny.

[Dr. Jeff]

LOL!

[Crusader.NoRegrets.]

Oh, well. So nice to see Europe getting what it deserves.

Ever notice how systematically countries that dabble in massive, government-orchestrated anti-semitism eventually go down the toilet?

And they said the Jews weren't G-d's chosen people...

Third Night of Ramadan Rioting in Capital of Eurabia:

It looks as if immigrants youths want to turn nightly rioting during the Islamic holy month of ramadan into an annual tradition. Around 8:30pm last night violence erupted again in Brussels, the capital of Eurabia. The riots centered on the Brussels Marollen quarter and the area near the Midi Train Station, where the international trains from London and Paris arrive. Youths threw stones at passing people and cars, windows of parked cars were smashed, bus shelters were demolished, cars were set ablaze, a youth club was arsoned and a shop was looted. Two molotov cocktails were thrown into St. Peter’s hospital, one of the main hospitals of central Brussels. The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fires at the hospital, but youths managed to steal the keys of the fire engine.
