Why would the Torah bother with overkill unless it's true? <br />His subsequent debates with detractors exist somewhere on the web.

They are well-reasoned people with well-reasoned arguments. My dream is to have both side show up, in the same room, at the same time.

It just shows that in Shlomo's time people were aware of this law. So what?<br /><br />I think it comes down to emunah. mikeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309929059139673041.post-12802341353164230612014-03-26T16:15:30.545+02:002014-03-26T16:15:30.545+02:00Marvels, not marvel's.

This seems strange as Chazal say the mitzvah refers to a kohen doing avodah so how can it be connected to the Yoav episode? Avraham1noreply@blogger.com
