Two, Two, Two, Two, Two, Two, Two... -- The Funniest Historic Things Come in Twos
Religion - is a fight between God and the people.
God says… …and the people do whatever the hell they want.
Let’s see how they dance the Texas Two-step…
The Exodus Jews were led by their first high priest Aaron (Moses’s older brother) to make and worship A golden cow. Moses came down with two tablets, inscribed front and back [oops looks like people who want to display them forgot this] and chucked/broke them.
Moses and God make two more tablets. [A skeptic might say they rewrote/edited them based on the current circumstances, kind of like how Noah was a ‘creation take 2’.] Law two - no golden cows.
Then, the Jews ‘create’ the red heifer purity (holocaust) sacrifice which is their highest temple sacrifice, even King Solomon thought its was weirdly too much. These red heifers are very ‘golden.’ Christians say this is the sacrifice of Jesus.
In the SECOND Jewish temple, the Molten Sea purity water basin stood on 12 …oxen/cows. They always look bronzishly golden.
Jesus says he is not here to destroy the law but to fulfill it. So, Mosaic law was over. Yes, it started with the Ten Commandments.
In Romans 6:14-15, St. Paul said the (Hebrew) Law, which includes the Ten Commandments, was over. Then, Paul goes super deep in Romans 7 explaining how a Jewish women is free to remarry after her husband dies. So also are Christians allowed to ‘remarry’ to Jesus now that the law is dead. And the super bonus, Paul doubles down on the end of circumcision. Oh no, and that was his second example/explanation of how the Law is dead. Circumcision and the Mosaic law are over. Goodbye Ten Commandments — all 11, 12… …of them.
Paul doubles this down and even says “two” in the second chapter of Ephesians - 2:15.
Christians today try to impose them upon Jews (their own Law ‘culturally appropriated’ against them) and non-Christians (a legacy that Christians are no longer supposed to observe). And Christians cannot even figure out what the 10 ‘are’, since there are two listings and unclear divisions.
The ultimate double blasphemy of the ages.
For further thought:
For fun, God gets the first born of every “womb”, and we humans get number two offspring and on. Well, except for donkeys. Use a lamb substitute for that one. Isaac was substituted with a ram/lamb. Donkeys get the same treatment. And, Jesus was the ‘lamb’ substitute for the Law, so says the Christian ‘New Testament.’ Why in the world are Jesus and donkeys getting the same treatment? See that exact thing here.
It is a ‘new’ testament because the old one is over? Yes. It is a new contract ‘by name’, just like the new set of 10 commandments. No bull …and your neighbor can have one really nice bull …and please keep your hands off of his donkey. And please sacrifice a lamb for that donkey’s first born. Sorry lambs.
This is a second time where donkeys rule. They were ‘cool ride’ for Sarah, Mary, and Jesus, but don’t covet your neighbor’s… … … a.. …donkey. Tenth commandment. :)
Did that say ox and donkey?
The tenth commandment states, "You shall not covet your neighbor's house, or his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his ass, or anything that is your neighbor's" Yes, the Vatican chose this translation.
No, an ox and donkey were not at the nativity. But they can be found hanging out together in these verses: Genesis 31:6, Exodus 23:4-5, Deuteronomy 22:4, 22:10, and Isaiah 1:3. The bull and donkey often are used as ‘negatives implications’. Yes, you know the nicknames. Along with canines, they are often ‘dogged', but it should be noted that neither the Christian bible or Qur’an disdains dogs in a universal way as some people often say they do.
