No, i don't think that is the reason.
There was a time, that majority of people of Persia were followers of Zoroaster. But if you look now, their population is almost extincted. Less than 0.1 percent of Perisan population now are Zoroasterians. The same happend to followers of Abraham.

Because the politics of religion involves assuming the role of judge. In the Mosaic law Moses had that role, so there was motivation to marginalize it, for example by redefining Elohim as the Trinity.
And not as Moses, [which] put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not...
Jesus only endorsed the law while alive on Earth. Paul agreed.
ALL Scripture is inspired by God - 2nd Timothy 3:16-17
Christ fulfilled the Law - Matthew 5:17; Luke 4:21
Thus the Law ended with Christ - Romans 10:4; 7:6
Christ abolished the Law - Ephesians 2:15
Christ blotted out the Law -...
If we are accurate, Paul doesn't have 3 different contradictory versions of the event. Those scriptures are not in contradiction. That the people didn't see Jesus, is not the same that they didn't see the light. It is possible, and by the context probably, that they saw the light, why else would...
The year is roughly 36 AD, the place Jerusalem, this is the holy city where the teachings of Christ once rang out into the air but now just a few years after the crucifixion, the winds have changed direction and some people are on a hunt for Christian blood. An angry mob zeroes in on a godly man...
Paul never met Jesus and neither did Luke. Their target audience were gentiles who spoke greek.

Jesus did speak Aramaic, but I never heard whether what he said was in Hebrew or not.
Plus, the pole, the beam, the stake, the timber, Jesus was executed on did Not have to be a T-shaped cross.
Acts 10:39; 13:29 uses the word: tree. See also Galatians3:13 B
" xy'lon " the Greek word does not...
That's odd, that doesn't resemble the Tanach at all. I was asking specifically about the God of Abraham. Which books are you pulling those from? None of that sounds like B'Reisheet. That's *maybe* where you'd find something about the God of Abraham. You would call it Genesis.
The only...
I'm a materialist, a secularist, an igtheist, and a believer in reasoned enquiry including scientific and historical method. I have no wish at all for the bible to say any particular thing ─ its interest lies in what it actually says.
The Christian custom of claiming that the Tanakh foretells...
There is definitely a Christian bias in the translation of the Old Testament. But that appears to be in just the details. I doubt if you can find significant difference between the myths of Genesis between the two. You would not be able to make you God not have the same failings...
Do you deny that you are using "Christian" scholarship? Their bias is well known. Galatians3:13 declares that the law is a curse. You don't get more biased than that.
So perhaps you did not consider this, I understand. Is there any reason to ignore the obvious motiviation by Christian...
@John D. Brey Is this idea that the melody is a curse, and that the vowels are evil, some sort of ... I don't know how to say this... some sort of way of i don't know, justifying that Christians, like yourself, don't propoerly know how to pronounce or read Hebrew? Or maybe discouraging...
Boom! There goes an irony meter blown up by a person using a scientific device while denying science. It does not get much more hypocritical than that. Just because you do not understand something does not make it garbage.
Language cannot change basic facts. Yes, if that God was real he...
Nope. it was a miracle. your scientific garbage is meaningless
Nope. It's not evil. You need to read the story in the original language. You also should understand the obvious bias of a Christian translator who wants to prop up the "OT" as a "curse" (Galatians3:13) so that their...
Rest from one's own works.
Remember: besides the first Ten Commandments there is a number 11,12,13,14,15 all the way up to 613.
ALL of the 613 Mosaic Laws came to and end with Christ fulfilling the Law - Romans 10:4; Romans 7:6
Jesus did just as he said he would do at Matthew 5:17 and did at...
If law is not valid, nothing is wrong, and there is no need for salvation.
I think the law is valid. But, we should not be under it. And I think it means, if we do what the law says because we must do so, against our own will, we are under it and we are not actually good and righteous, because...
I wonder what is to disagree with "Christ is the end of the Law " as found at Romans 10:4 _____________
I find Jesus is speaking at Matthew 5:17 that Jesus says that he came to fulfill the Law.
I also find that Paul at Romans 7:6 said we have been delivered/released from the Law.....
Sure Paul...
Denial is not a valid argument.
Here's the verse in the Hebrew scripture which Paul attempts to use for his loophole.
לֹֽא־תָלִין נִבְלָתוֹ עַל־הָעֵץ כִּֽי־קָבוֹר תִּקְבְּרֶנּוּ בַּיּוֹם הַהוּא כִּֽי־קִלְלַת אֱלֹהִים תָּלוּי וְלֹא תְטַמֵּא אֶת־אַדְמָתְךָ אֲשֶׁר יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵן לְךָ...
