Pure religion.... is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction; (James 1)



Uri responded:
While Christians here will "jump on board" with this quote from the Epistle of James, guess from where this concept was lifted out? From the Torah (Deut. 10, 14, 16, 26, 27), from the Prophets (Isaiah 1; Jeremiah 7, 22; Ezekiel 22; Zechariah 7; Malachi 3) and from the Writings (Psalms 146; Job 31), among others. Judaism has first claim on this. Christianity is but a "knock-off" from it.


Uri,
Absolutely, the tanakh is chock full of the truth and wisdom of God for us all (it's the larger part of the Christian Bible, you know?).

So let's encourage each other to do good, to help those less forunate !
That is what God wants from us! \0/
