Message-ID: Date: 26 May 91 05:56:07 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Lines: 20 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu In reply to the very Christian assertion by smithjh@argus.CS.ORST.EDU on the alleged divinity of J____: [Thomas Blake's quoted Lk 10:25-28, in which Jesus endorses "Love the Lord your God ..." (Deut. 6:5) as the basis for salvation. Jeremy Smith responded that since Jesus is God and Lord, that passage refers to loving Jesus. This is a Christian reinterpretation of one of the most basic Jewish confessions of faith. --clh] Thanks for making public and clear the basic premise of Christianity, which is familiar to me, and with which I, as an Orthodox Jew, necessari- ly disagree most strongly. It should lay to a well-deserved final rest all notions of compatibility of your religion and Judaism.
