Perhaps in response to "The Passion of the Christ", Rabbis Joel
Bainerman and Marvin Antelman of Israel have issued a challenge
to a public debate on Judaism and the Talmud.
See:

I have responded this challenge with the following e-mail:
Dear Sirs:
I saw your challenge to debate about the Torah/Judaism on
Rense.com and decided to send you a comment:
My understanding is that Genesis 2:7 is a clear description of
the Revelation of the Memory of Creation--one of the elements
of the Revelation of the 'resurrection of the dead'; the other
element of which is the revelation of the memories of previous
lives.
My argument is that the rabbis have departed from this fundamental
Revelation of both the Torah and the prophets, and that it was for this
reason that the Jewish priesthood was so infuriated at Jesus--who
described in cryptic terms the revelation of the memories of previous
lives in his response to the Sadducees in Luke 20:36 and claimed that
John the Baptist was Elijah 'raised from the dead'.
My question is this: Does not Deuteronomy 28 directly imply the living
of more than one life? in other words, that the Doctrine of the
'resurrection',
subsequently referred to by Isaiah and Daniel, is a Doctrine similar to
the
Buddhist Doctrine of Rebirth?

published on rense.com about 4 weeks ago.
