Reza Aslan Quotes

When It Comes To The Heart And Soul Of The Jewish Faith - The Law Of Moses - Jesus Was Adamant That His Mission Was Not To Abolish The Law But To Fulfill It (Matthew 5:17). That Law Made A Clear Distinction Between Relations Among Jews And Relations Between Jews And Foreigners. The Oft-repeated Commandment "love Your Neighbor As Yourself" Was Originally Given Strictly In The Context Of Internal Relations Within Israel. The Verse In Question Reads: "You Shall Not Take Vengeance Or Bear A Grudge Against Any Of Your People , But Shall Love Your Neighbor As Yourself" (Leviticus 19:18). To The Israelites, As Well To Jesus's Community In First-century Palestine,"neighbor" Meant One's Fellow Jews. With Regard To The Treatment Of Foreigners And Outsiders, Oppressors And Occupiers, However, The Torah Could Not Be Clearer: "You Shall Drive Them Out Before You. You Shall Make No Covenant With Them And Their Gods. They Shall Not Live In Your Land" (Exodus 23:31-33)
