Subject: Age of accountability? |
Bible Note: Freeatlast, The practice of Bar Mitzvah, as you have described it, only became conventionalized in something less than the last 500 year. Furthermore, that was just the Ashkenazi Jews, certainly not Judaism as a whole. Bat mitzvah (for girls) is only practiced amongst Reformed Jews and originated in the 1920s, United States. Saying that "our heritage as Christians is based in Judaism," can lead to all sorts of specious arguments, like the one you have inferred in your post. Although it is inadequate, it would be much more correct to say that "our heritage as Christians is based in ANCIENT Judaism." Judaism is far more varied in its tenants and practices today than it was even in Christ's time, let alone David's. In Him, Doc |
