Judeo-Christian values

Judeo-Christian values are professed by many people without taking the time to define what those Judeo-Christian values are.

Judging by what I see today and what I know about history most of the people sling those words around do not know exactly what those values consist of and what they have in common.

John Quincy Adams warned in a letter to Abigail Adams on January 27, 1795 that the United States Constitution was inadequate.

"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other," President John Adams

While Adams emphasized that a virtuous populace is essential for a republic to function, as laws and governance depend on citizens' adherence to morality and religion to control passions and maintain liberty, making the or any Constitution reliant on the moral character of the people and not just its own political structure.

Moral abandonment

Have the people traded moral abandonment for comfort and vanity?


Complicity by omission means being involved in a crime or wrongdoing by failing to act when there's a legal duty to intervene, rather than by taking direct action, often seen with bystanders, caregivers, or officials who ignore a known illegal/harmful situation, making their inaction a culpable part of the offense. It's about being a party to a crime through deliberate inaction that facilitates it, like a lifeguard not saving a drowning person or a parent ignoring child abuse, turning a moral failing into a legal issue when a duty exists.

Peaceful majorities are irrelevant.

Values defined

Judeo values should be defined by the words and ways of Abraham and Moses, while Christian values should be defined by Jesus Christ.

If Abraham, Moses, and Jesus all followed the same God and God is the same today as he was yesterday then Moslem, Jews, and Christians should get along and be in religious harmony with the same values.

It appears by the New Testament that Jesus and Moses were in agreement with each other and also Elijah based on the Transfiguration of Jesus as described in the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew 17:1-8, Mark 9:2-8, and Luke 9:28-36.

Then there is the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb is found in Revelation 15:3-4 where the two songs are sung in mutual harmony. What was not in harmony were many of the Jews at the time of Christ who though the knew Moses but did not.

Jesus also mentioned there would many Christian that will think they know Christ, say Lord, Lord, but do not do what He said and who are actually workers of iniquity.

Modern Muslims

Modern Muslims do not seem to follow Abraham nor Moses but are amovementmore a political movement giving many of their members a license to engages in practice seen as both immoral and destructive.

To some degree modern Christian are not immune to simmilar self indulgence and hypocracy.

Corbans

The corban of the Pharisees and Herod were a point of great contention with Christ and the apostles. There seems to be little knowledge today of what that Corban was, what exactly was wrong with it, and how it differed from the Corban of Christ.

The same is true of many other things like altars of stone and leaven. These and the meaning of many more words have brought a Strong delusion through sophistry.

If the masses of the world woukd repent and begin to accept the true values of Abraham, Moses, or Jesus Christ the problems of the world would diminish. Unfortunately that is not what Islam, modern Jews nor modern Christians do.

Values

Social values are not just beliefs that define the practicers but include a culture of virtues that express the nature and form of the social order in a collective or a society.

Judeo-Christian values maybe listed differently by the many different religious groups and sects of numerous denominations.

We should also learn how social values may differ from ethical and moral values. Some of the parameters used to define social values ​​are what is acceptable and what is not acceptable, what should be and what should not be, what is desirable for society and what is not, all based on a collective social opinion.

Social values are often based on, if not defined by, the means and methods used to establish the social bonds of a social or economic group.

While, Religious values are usually based on the values observed within a religious texts or by the influence of the lives of religious leaders and founders, the private interpretation of those texts and personalities are not entirely consistent.

Religious values are the moral and ethical principles that guide the behavior and daily practices of true adherents based on what should be the consistent teachings and texts associated with a particular textually defined religion.

Should be consistent

If there is one God of the Bible the religious message of Abraham, Moses, the prophets, Jesus and the apostles should be consistent.

Real followers of Abraham, Moses, or Christ do not depend upon systems of social welfare that force the contributions of the people to provide the dainties of rulers.
But the only way out of poverty is to strengthen the poor. This can only be done through a combination of the individual choices of Capitalism and charity. Socialist the welfare programs of modern State robs the choices of individuals that normally nurtures the soul of society and degenerates it's members weakening the poor financially and the character of the rich. It divides society. Forced redistribution of wealth nurtures tyranny.

Religions

The phrase "Judeo-Christian" may suggest a shared ethical and cultural roots of Judaism and Christianity where the testaments demonstrate an overlap in values from Abraham to Moses, John the Baptist to Jesus, and of course, Peter, Paul, James, and John.

Judeo-Christian values are said to be shared moral principles from the Religion of Judaism and the Religion of Christianity. Judaism centered on the Hebrew Old Testament starting with the teachings of Moses from the Pentateuch. Christian values are those expressed by the Doctrine of Jesus who was the Christ, as seen in the New Testament properly interpreted by the Holy Spirit.

They would include tenets of morality, free will, and core commands and directives like "Love your neighbor as yourself".

References to "religion" or "religious" in the sacred text of the Bible are mostly negative.

Only one single positive reference to Pure Religion in the New Testament seems to exist. This referred to the "moral and ethical principles that guide the behavior and daily practices of" early Christians. Religion was seen the duties directed by Christ to be doers of the word. [1]

The duties of early Christians differed from the those compelled by the "world" such as the corban of the Pharisees and Herod with their "leaven".[2]

The religion or daily practices of early Christians were identified as the way. In the Old Testament we do not see the word "religion".

The word in the Hebrew language associated with the idea of "religion" is דת (dath). It first appears in an oddly written verse of Deuteronomy and is translated law.[3]

Possibly because of the influence of the spirit of the Persian, its interpretation evolved into "law" or "ordinance" and finally "religion" in later Hebrew, and now in modern times.

Did this evolution alter the religious message of Abraham, Moses, and the prophets?

Judeo-Christian

"Judeo-Christian values" as phrase is easily misunderstood and subsequently often misused and abused, especially if we establish a list of thing and individual must believe or recite that are composed of ideas as facts that do not actually alter the morals, ethics, and principles that guide the behavior and daily practices of individuals claiming to be followers.

Those values should be based on the common precepts expressed and emphasized by Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the Christ who were all advocating the same way and practices that function according to the "perfect law of liberty".

Those righteous practices were contrary to the way or political system of Nimrod in Babylon, the Nissi rulers of Sumer, Bera the King of Sodom, who all saw the people who became members of their civil cauldron and as citizens subject to the administration of government the masses are reduced to [human resources]] by progressive degrees.

The values and vices of these two systems altered citizens and leaders.

What different religions do not seem to realize is the doctrines of Abraham, Moses, and Jesus and their prophets are in agreement but modern religions and their private interpretation are often in conflict.

Those values and principles should be based on the values expressed and emphasized by Abraham, Moses, and Jesus the Christ.

One list of ten

One list produced by Dennis Prager includes 10 items:

No. 1: "There is one God."- ... one universal morality."
No. 2: "The Hebrew Bible" which include the precept "that there are objective moral truths".
No. 3: "There are moral truths, good and evil."
No. 4: All men “are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,”
No. 5: Man is “created in the image of God.” "God has no race."
No. 6: "The world is based on a divine order, meaning divinely ordained distinctions." Ncluding man and woman, human and animal, good and evil.
No. 7: Man has basically rejected the tree of life in order to decide good and evil based on his own knowledge of goods and evil rejecting the light of the tree of life and embracing the darkness he will have a "natural inclination to do evil."
No. 8: we must have a heart for the whole truth and provide for it.
No. 9: There are Ten Commandments — or statements concerning the values of one God.
No. 10: Mankind has free will.

A Judeo-Christian Perspective

When Christ was asked about the end of the world, He said to understand the book of Daniel. It begins with Daniel in captivity (military force or martial law that Christ implied was the sign in Matt 24:15). And in that setting, Daniel faced with the social safety net of the rulers who exercise authority one over the other.

We were not to have an appetite for the dainties offered for our welfare on the king's "table" with his deceitful meats.

Daniel purposed not to defile himself. Similarly, Proverbs, David, and Paul tells us that those systems of social welfare are a snare and a trap".

True Jews and Christians everywhere need to repent of such covetous practices of asking rulers to provide for them at the expense of their neighbor.

What benefits these systems of legal charity provides are the "rewards of unrighteousness" provided through the covetous practices of the welfare state in violation of those Ten Commandments.

Just to sign up for the Welfare State require you make a covenant with the rulers of those system which is another violation of those Ten Commandments.

The greatest threat to world fiscal solvency is the people's appetite for benefits and the habit of receiving them from men in government who call themselves benefactors but exercise authority by taking from our neighbors and the future of children against the teachings of Abraham, Moses, and the Christ.

To restore western civilization we would need to End all legal charity. https://preparingyou.com/wiki/Legal_charity Return Everyman to his family and to his possession. Return to lawful money. This will require a change in thinking and the institutional associations that feed the virtuous social bonds of free society rather than the vices of tyrants.

    • James 5:16 "Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."
  2. Bread of oppression
    Matthew 16:6 "Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... 11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning daily bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? 12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and [of] the leaven of Herod."
    Matthew 16:11 "How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?"
    Mark 8:15 "And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod."
    Luke 12:1 "In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy."
    Jesus and John the Baptist opposed the leaven of Herod, the Pharisees and of the Sadducees because they misinterpreted the way of Moses and the LORD. They collected the resources for their tables of welfare, their social safety net of free bread and care for the needy of society through forced offerings. Peter, Paul, David, and the prophets have been warned us that such covetous practices were setting a snare and a trap. Herod and the Pharisees had set up a system of legal charity rather than fervent charity which always makes the word of God to none effect so that Christ would say the kingdom of God shall be taken from them and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits. We should know that their system "degenerates" the "masses" until they become "perfect savages". Legal charity and its benefits and dainties provided through men who exercise authority are the wages of unrighteousness and the covetous practices that makes men merchandise and will curse children.
  3. Deuteronomy 33:2 "And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand (מִֽימִינ֕וֹ mîmînōw) [went] a fiery law <01881 or <0799> for them."
