No true

See our nation was based on a biblical belief system. The difference is Jews do not believe in the Messiah Jesus Christ. Were Christians do. The Ten Commandments appear in both th Torah and the Bible as well as the first five books of the Bible plus most of the prophets. OS it is correct to say our nation is based on a Judeo Christian belief system.

No such thing

James, there's no such thing as a 'Judeo-Christian' belief system - this is huge misnomer.

That's the point I'm making in the post.

The 'Judeo' worldview denies Jesus Christ is the creator. The Christian worldview reveals Jesus Christ is our creator and Savior.

The Law and the Prophets point to Jesus Christ - without this basic truth, the Law and the Prophets are pointless. Clarity is crucial here.

A Judeo-Christian belief system is a contradiction of terms.

Contradiction

You cannot say Judaism agrees with the Bible - which is what America's heritage is based on - yet adherents to Judaism 'do not believe in the Messiah Jesus Christ'.

The Bible's whole point is to profess Jesus Christ's deity and role as the creator and Savior.

Stopping short at the Ten Commandments and the Torah - has zero to do with the worldview of our nation's founding-population . . . historic, biblical Christianity trusting Americans.
