In the old testament, the god of the prophets never was completely on israel's side. there was a primitive national religion, but it was always a transcendent god who had judgment first in the house of god. this is the true religion. it has a sense of a transcendent majesty and a transcendent meaning so that that puts myself and the foe under the same judgment.

In The Old Testament, The God Of

Reinhold Niebuhr

In the old testament, the god of the prophets never was completely on israel's side. there was a primitive national religion, but it was always a transcendent god who had judgment first in the house of god. this is the true religion. it has a sense of a transcendent majesty and a transcendent meaning so that that puts myself and the foe under the same judgment.

More From Reinhold Niebuhr

Which israel should we recognize? the israel of 1917; the israel of 1936; the israel of 1948; the israel of 1956; or the israel of 1967? which borders and which israel? israel has to recognize first the palestinian state and its borders and then we will know what we are talking about.

The new testament rests itself for credulity and testimony on what are called prophecies in the old testament, of the person called jesus christ; and if there are no such things as prophecies of any such person in the old testament, the new testament.

What i believe is that the united states is going to be playing on a level playing field in dealing with israel and the palestinian people. i am 100 percent pro israel in the sense of israel's right to exist, i lived in israel, i have family in israel, israel has the right to live not only in peace and security, but to know that their very existence will be protected by the united states government.

As soon as you look at the world through an ideology you are finished. no reality fits an ideology. life is beyond that. that is why people are always searching for a meaning to life. but life has no meaning; it cannot have meaning because meaning is a formula; meaning is something that makes sense to the mind. every time you make sense out of reality, you bump into something that destroys the sense you made . meaning is only found when you go beyond meaning.

Anticipating attacks, i should like to emphasize that i do not subscribe to the myths propagated by enemies of israel and i am not blaming jews for anti-semitism. anti-semitism predates the birth of israel. neither israel's policies nor the critics of those policies should be held responsible for anti-semitism. at the same time, i do believe that attitudes toward israel are influenced by israel's policies, and attitudes toward the jewish community are influenced by the pro-israel lobby's success in suppressing divergent views.

Israel exists; it has a right to exist in peace behind secure and defensible borders; and it has a right to demand of its neighbors that they recognize those facts. i have personally followed and supported israel's heroic struggle for survival, ever since the founding of the state of israel 34 years ago. in the pre-1967 borders israel was barely 10 miles wide at its narrowest point. the bulk of israel's population lived within artillery range of hostile arab armies. i am not about to ask israel to live that way again.

And that works for me. so that if this is it, you better take it at its right proportion. that there are serious things, but most things are temporal and ephemeral, and you should cultivate that attitude. that joy and love and all the verities are what counts. so i try not to take too many things seriously, and if i find myself caught up in the seriousness of the moment, within a period of time, i'm able to cajole myself out of it.

All the history of human life has been a struggle between wisdom and stupidity.

The struggles waged by nations are weak only when they lack support in the hearts of their women.

Nothing so tires a person as having to struggle, not with himself, but with an abstraction.
