Is HR6090 a direct threat to the 1st amendment and the Bible?

Republicans Voting for Bill That Could Make 'Bible Illegal' Outrages MAGA


quote:

Congress on Wednesday passed the bill, which would require the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of antisemitism when enforcing anti-discrimination laws. It comes as colleges across the United States have seen pro-Palestinian protests that critics say at times have allegedly veered into antisemitism.


quote:

While the definition in the bill does classify the idea that Jewish people were involved in killing Jesus as antisemitic, it does not make the Bible illegal.

The bill's text states that it would require the Education Department to "take into consideration the definition of antisemitism as part of the Department's assessment of whether the practice was motivated by antisemitic intent" when investigating allegedly antisemitic discrimination at colleges.

quote:

Some conservatives are taking issue with the bill over the IHRA definition of antisemitism including "claims of Jews killing Jesus or blood libel," arguing that it could mean that parts of the Bible would now become "illegal."





The question I have is does this take something all Christians can agree is morally intolerable in anti-semitism, and use a law to ban certain parts of the New Testament from being quoted that “THEY” or “WHOEVER” views as being anti-Semitic, such as the written account of the Jews getting the Romans to kill Jesus?

So Jews feel guilty/responsible for something that happened 2000 years ago? I don’t understand how this is remotely antisemitic.

Do we not hire Indian bridge engineers because their people 2000 years ago made rope bridges?

As much as those believing that nonsense do not understand the purpose of Christ dying, and willingly laying down His life as the final sacrifice for ALL sins of humanity, as it was humanity and the sins of mankind on a whole that was responsible for that, not just the Jews.

This is all fueled by biblical ignorance in the Jewish population as well as people who claimed to be Christian in the past but used this as a means of attacking the Jews to give reasoning to their hatred of Jewish people. Neither pass muster, and neither can stand up to biblical scrutiny because it’s all built upon ignorance.


quote:

Yet it was the Lord’s will to crush him and cause him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes his life an offering for sin,
he will see his offspring and prolong his days,
and the will of the Lord will prosper in his hand.

Isaiah 53:10

Agree. The bill literally ends with a disclaimer that it doesnt negate the 1st ammenment, because the bill is negating the 1st ammendment.

The definition of antisemitism is wide open and includes perceived speech. Definition is from another non-binding act. Holocaust rememberance act i think.

Perhaps you should read…


When you allow people like the department of education, or any random unbeliever or group of unbelievers to determine intent, especially one who has an axe to grind with Christianity or wants to silence Christians, you open the door to abuse at the highest level.


There is a very good reason for the 1st amendment, and it is NOT TO BE INFRINGED, for very good reasoning.

Its the perfect act. Progs want it because it erodes free speech and gives them a legal mechanism to oppress.

Conservatives like it because it protects israel.

Will pass. Hopefully it doesnt take a "rightwing terror" attack to generate even more public support.

Isaiah 53:10

Thanks. I was trying to think of what I could write what you did. It cannot be written better than what you wrote. Our Savior came to die for us
