The relevance of 2,600 years ago

Connect the dots to see how an incident from 2,600 years ago is relevant to the present:

• If priests and scribes created the Scroll of the Law mentioned in II Kings 22, which later developed into the book of Devarim/Deuteronomy, • then it’s not the Law of G-d given to Moses as the priests claimed, and so • if Deuteronomy is the work of man, • then the credibility of Torah as the word of G-d through Moses is undermined, and so • if Torah is the work of man and not the word of G-d, • then Judaism can’t be true because it was founded on Torah being the word of G-d, and so • if Judaism isn’t true, • then its outgrowths, Christianity and Islam, can’t be true because they assume that Judaism is true, and so • if the religions of the Book aren’t true, • then no covenant was made with Moses and the people, nor with Abraham, giving them the land forever, and so • if there was no covenant with G-d, • then Israel has no basis for its current occupation of Palestinian land 19 centuries after it ceased to be a self-governing nation of Jews, and • Muhammad didn’t ascend to Heaven from Mt. Moriah and, of all the people crucified by the Romans, • none of them was the Son of God, and so • if Christianity isn’t true, • then the writings of the Apostle Paul and the other writers weren’t inspired by God, and so • if the writings of the New Testament were just the thoughts of people living in the first century CE, • then the Tea Party/right-wing conservatives have no basis for imposing first-century thinking on a 21st-century society.
