When you start digging into it, it’s kind of interesting how much stuff gets retcon’ed into the OT by the xtians of various stripes. And then there are retcons of retcons, like what LDS does [1].
There was some xtian on the Denver Post comment boards that would get his back up (and try to get my comments deleted/me banned) over the use of the term “Abrahamic religion”. He kept denying there was any such notion. The guy provided much hilarity. It’s like they know all the problems inherent in claiming that the OT is what gives the character of Yeshua legitimacy because of prophecy, etc., and then turning around and rejecting the original religion itself, therefore, this guy’s answer was to deny the relationship even existed? LOL. This same guy denied that the Southern Strategy was a thing, too. This guy wanted all his own facts.
[1] Overall the movie was a mixed bag, but I was surprised to see the nature of Abrahamic religions rather frankly discussed in the movie “Heretic”. I wonder how many people might have walked out before any violence happened…
Multiple devils?
I guess what I mean to say is that Jews dont believe in Hell. The idea of the devil and hell was created by Christians to force obedience with fear.
