Summary

What are we to make of the fact that Urban Dictionary, a crowd-sourced website set up to define slang words and phrases, has become a hotbed of hate-speech, racism, and sexism? With offensive definitions of Auschwitz and anti-Zionism just two recent examples, Rabbi Dunner dwells on the fact that what is found on the fringes soon winds its way into the mainstream, a point presciently made by Moses in his stark warning regarding false prophets and the dangers of idolatry for those about to embark on the conquest of the Promised Land.

Removing the Stumbling Blocks: a Deeper look at the Writings of Paul Household of Israel Temple of Jesus Christ Greetings brothers and sisters, for the month of January, we will be presenting audio presentations concerning the writings of the Apostle Paul, which are often misread and misinterpreted. In fact, the misinterpretation of Paul's writings can become a "stumbling block" for those who do not read his scriptures closely and carefully. What is a stumbling block?...an obstacle or hindrance to progress, belief, or understanding. In this case, an obstacle or hinderance that prevents one from fully understanding, believing or progressing in the laws of God. Many churches of this world have used the writing's of Paul to justify the following ideas: 1) "the laws of God are nailed to the cross;", 2) "Sunday is the modern day Sabbath;" and 3) "all animals are God's creatures therefore we can eat want we want." We will dispel these false ideas and take a deeper look at the writings of Paul, explaining its true meaning.
