Some of you may be unfamiliar with the ‘Torah', what is reputed to be ‘the laws of God' found in the first five books of the Bible. You may also be unaware that protesting against the Torah is a very ancient and venerable tradition, both within the writings of the Jewish prophets and in the documents of the early church. Now it is typical to hear the doctrine taught that states that the bible is 'infallible' and that one must believe in the 'inerrancy of scripture' and this pious sounding sermonizing is alleged to be the hallmark of the only 'true believers' for the bible is alleged to be consistent and to portray, in its divine inspiration a single and consistent 'revelation' from cover to cover. Nevertheless, the truth of the matter is that the Bible is not consistent in ideology and you can find many protest writings in the Jewish prophets condemning the Torah (and rightly so). For examples of this you can consult the following pages on this site...

You might not know that the Palestinians have not only been dispossessed (demonized, and subject to extermination) they have also been herded into a poverty stricken Bantustan, a source of cheap labor for Israel (a first world country with a convenient pool of third world labor sitting right on their doorstep - now if only they would behave like good little slaves...) Palestinians are worked for five to seven dollars a day, and don't have much choice in the matter. So, once again, while we are cobbling together prophecies of ‘Israel in the last days', I could not forget to gather together the following words, appropriate as they really are.....

Amos 5:18 Woe to you who desire the day of YAHWEH! Why would you have the day of YAHWEH? It is darkness, and not light;

Zephaniah 1:15 A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and devastation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

Isaiah 10:3 What will you do on the day of punishment, in the storm which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help, and where will you leave your wealth?

Zephaniah 3:4 Her prophets are wanton, faithless men; her priests profane what is sacred, they do violence to the law.
Zephaniah 3:8 Therefore, says Yahweh God, wait for the day. Wait for the day when I stand up to accuse you. For my decision is to gather nations, to assemble kingdoms, to pour out upon them my indignation, all the heat of my anger; for in the fire of my jealous wrath all the earth shall be consumed.
Zephaniah 3:9 "Yea, at that time I will change the speech of the peoples to a pure speech, that all of them may call on the name of YAHWEH and serve with one accord.
Jeremiah 8:8 "How can you say, ‘We are wise, for we have the law of YAHWEH'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
Jeremiah 8:9 The wise men shall be put to shame, they shall be dismayed and taken; lo, they have rejected the word of YAHWEH, and what wisdom is in them?

Isaiah 30:11 leave the way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more of the Holy One of Israel."
Isaiah 30:12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, "Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on them;
Isaiah 30:13 therefore this sin shall be to you like a break in a high wall, xracked and bulging, and about to collapse, whose crash comes suddenly, in an instant;
Isaiah 30:14 and its breaking is like that of a potter’s vessel which is smashed so ruthlessly that among its fragments not a sherd is found with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern."
Isaiah 32:5 The fool will no more be called noble, nor the knave said to be honorable.
Isaiah 32:6 For the fool speaks folly, and his mind plots iniquity: to practice ungodliness, to utter error concerning YAHWEH, to leave the craving of the hungry unsatisfied, and to deprive the thirsty of drink.
Isaiah 32:7 The knaveries of the knave are evil; he devises wicked devices to ruin the poor with lying words, even when the plea of the needy is right.

Isaiah 32:13 for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers; yea, for all the joyous houses in the joyful city.
