       The 10 Commandments: How to Read Them From a Tribalist Perspecti

       (This is how the 10 Commandments read from a tribalist
       perspective:)
       If we apply the logic of the Book of Deuteronomy:
       [quote]"To a foreigner you may charge interest, but to your
       brother you shall not charge interest, that the LORD your God
       may bless you in all to which you set your hand in the land
       which you are entering to possess." — Deuteronomy 23:20[/quote]
       [quote]Judaism condemns usury towards Jews, but allows it
       towards non-Jews. See: Deut 23:19–20.
  HTML https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usury[/quote]
       (Never forget it was
       Jews who created the "non-Jew" distinction in the first place!)
       to the commandments they would read like this:
       Thou shalt not kill your brother a Jew, but a foreigner
       (non-Jew\Gentile) you may kill.
       Thou shalt not steal from your brother a Jew, but from a
       foreigner (non-Jew\Gentile) you may steal.
       Thou shalt not covet your neighbors possessions, a fellow Jew,
       but you may covet a foreigners (non-Jews) possessions.
       etc....

       What about the laws in the Torah concerning foreigners? There
       are some laws that give amnesty and protection to foreigners.

       Why is Israel barring Ethiopian Jews from immigrating?
       [quote]Thousands of Beta Israel Jews in the Ethiopian city of
       Gondar are living in limbo while waiting to emigrate to Israel.
       Their chances of leaving Ethiopia and joining relatives who have
       already made the move to Israel are being complicated by
       religious factors: Israel doesn't recognize them as true Jews
       and won't let them immigrate into the country.[/quote]

       Just a few examples of how "foreigners" are treated in the
       Jewish State of Israel in Occupied Palestine.....
       "What about the laws in the Torah concerning foreigners? There
       are some laws that give amnesty and protection to foreigners."
       I don't know, what about them? You tell me? Perhaps you should
       list them one by one and we can see how those Jewish laws apply
       to the above examples?

       [quote]An oxymoron is a figure of speech in which two apparently
       contradictory terms appear together. Examples include a
       deafening silence, harmonious discord, an open secret, and the
       living dead.[/quote]
       [quote]Antithesis (Greek for "setting opposite", from
       ἀντί "against" and
       θέσις "placing") is used in writing or
       speech either as a proposition that contrasts with or reverses
       some previously mentioned proposition, or when two opposites are
       introduced together for contrasting effect.[/quote]
       I wouldn't argue that The Book of Deuteronomy is an antithesis
       to The Book of Leviticus and The book of Numbers....
       For myself it is not too difficult to understand how Judaism can
       make people schizophrenic.

       brother you shall not charge interest, that the LORD your God
       may bless you in all to which you set your hand in the land
       which you are entering to possess." — Deuteronomy 23:20[/quote]
       [quote]"The community is to have the same rules for you and for
       the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance
       for the generations to come. You and the foreigner shall be the
       same before the Lord: 16 The same laws and regulations will
       apply both to you and to the foreigner residing among you.’" —
       Numbers 15:13-16[/quote]
       You do not see the contradiction between these two ideas? Are
       these ideas not in opposition to each other?

       Ah, say no more. I ask because Jews, when accused of racism,
       will be very quick to point out about the passages I just listed
       in the Bible to make themselves look righteous even though they
       willfully ignore those same passages.

       I would argue that the Old Testament is one giant oxymoron at
       best. At worst it's a racial doctrine masquerading as a
       religious doctrine that creates a tribe in which it's own
       survival is most important above all else, including being good.
       Tribalists rarely care if they are good or evil, all they really
       care about is the survival of the tribe. Deuteronomy 23:20
       ensures the survival of the tribe, whilst Numbers 15:13 does
       not. Which teaching does the Jewish tribe follow more closely,
       Deuteronomy 23:20 or Numbers 15:13? Judging from the few images
       and video I posted above, Jews act on the law given them by
       Deuteronomy 23:20 above all else. Numbers 15:13 just becomes a
       convenient smoke-screen for this fact and helps Jews confuse
       non-Jews even further.
       I would argue that Deuteronomy 23:20 is the primary law of the
       Jewish State of Israel in Occupied Palestine, how could it not
       be?

       I figured it would be 'be fruitful and multiply', but I digress.
       In your opinion, what is the most accurate English translation
       of the Bible?
