The only verbal juggling is between you and the tourist brochure. It clearly refers to the belief among Jews in resurrection at the time of the Messiah. If you cannot read that for what it is, then so be it. I think this has been said, but those who have historically denied the soul's immortality and bodily resurrection, in your religion, are known as Sadducees.
I said to use the Scriptures to refute me and not tourist brochures. There is quite a difference right there. About denying immortality and resurrection, not only the Sadducees but Jews of common sense in general, except for the fool ones among us. Who else believed in immortality and bodily resurrection?
Does dropping white phosphorous on Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip qualify as "fighting the battles of the Lord?" Collective punishment sounds to me more like the strategy of Machiavelli on crack cocaine: when Bob attacks, annihilate Mary and her neighborhood.
I have told you already, their parents would attack our cities with terroristic acts and escape to their cities in order to spread the feedback punishment to their children with the intent to change public opinion unto themselves and bring a bad name to Israel. Perhaps you would be happy if we just sit duck and let them push us into the sea. Thank you but no, thanks. We are not of the kind of the Jews of the Holocaust. We are here to defend ourselves.
Would they be any less foolish to accept you and organized crime boss Semion Yudkovich Mogilivech as part of a collective messiah, sitting upon King David's throne, simply because you are born Jews? To me, that would be Einstein in reverse.
Don't blame us. Blame the Bilbical prophets. That's what they saw in their visions. The Jewish People in the throne of David in Jerusalem. (I Kings 11:36).
In view of R. Johanan's injunction (involving the death penalty to gentiles prying into your scriptures), perhaps you could tell me where, in the scriptures, God is said to have given Noah "laws" which apply to me. Where are those "Noahide Laws" given in scripture?
Soon after the Flood, a Covenant was established with Noah, which became known as the Noahide Covenant. That was a Covenant with Mankind. The seven Noahide laws were organized naturally as common sense dictated a few thousand years later when Israel rose. And here they are:
The Seven Noahide Laws
According to traditional Judaism, G-d gave Noah and his family seven
commandments to observe when he saved them from the flood. These commandments, referred to as the Noahide commandments. They are inferred from Genesis Ch. 9, and are as follows:
1) to establish courts of justice;
2) not to commit blasphemy;
3) not to commit idolatry;
4) not to commit incest and adultery;
5) not to commit bloodshed;
6) not to commit robbery; and
7) not to eat flesh cut from a living animal.
These commandments are fairly simple and straightforward, and most of them are recognized by most of the world as sound moral principles.
Any non-Jew who follows these laws has a place in the world to come.
The Noahide commandments are binding on all people, because all people are descended from Noah and his family.
The 613 mitzvot of the Torah, on the other hand, are only binding on the descendants of those who accepted the commandments at Sinai and upon those who take on the yoke of the commandments voluntarily (by
conversion).
In addition, the Noahide commandments are applied more leniently to
non-Jews than the corresponding commandments are to Jews, because non-Jews do not have the benefit of Oral Torah to guide them in interpreting the laws, although they do have the Jewish People. For example, worshipping G-d in the form of a man would constitute idolatry for a Jew; however, according to some sources, the Christian worship of Jesus does not constitute idolatry for non-Jews.
