God in nature and history involving the whole community of Israel in the
real event of the Exodus does not fit well for him,» that Buber's view of revelation is «essentially mystical and nonhistorical,» and that «the realistic disclosure of Yahweh as the Lord of nature and of history recedes into the background because of an overconcern with the experience of personal relation» — criticisms which are all far wide of the mark, as is shown by the present chapter.)

but thats not what i'm talking about... i am discussing the
god you claim to worship... even if you believe jesus was
god on earth it doesn't matter for if you take what he had to say as law then you should take with equal fervor words and commands given from
god itself... it stands as logical to do this and i am confused since most only do what jesus said... the dude was only here for 30 years and
god has been here for the whole time — he has added, taken away, and revised everything he has set previous to jesus and after his death... thru the prophets — i
base my argument
on the book itself, so if you have a counter argument i believe you haven't a full understanding of the book — and that would be my overall point... belief without full understanding of or consideration to
