        No it is not. The blood libel is a later medieval conception premised on certain specific texts found in the New Testament
        "It ain't necessarily so
        The things that you're liable
        To read in the Bible
        It ain't necessarily so
        ."

          Shows what incredibly poor character you possess.

          But, let's be clear.... you made an accusation that appears, on its face, to be false, but you will neither back it up with proof, or retract it?

              No CP, its just an attempt to see if we can agree on that basic moral example. Seer has said we are not obligated to what our ancesters have done. He said that as an absolute. My example creates a clear case where we ARE morally obligated by what our ancestors have done. It is hypothetical in that neither of us specifically is faced with that directly, but nevertheless it is a counter example that shows we can be obligated by what our ancestors have done.
              My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

              If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

              This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

                I'm getting at the fact there are conditions where we could be obligated by what our ancestors did.

                    But in your example I would have directly benefited from stolen money. That is not my case, or probably yours. So it would be specific to particular a case. You can't generalize. Which you did: We are responsible for the legacy of what was done, the impact of it. No we are not all responsible for a legacy that neither we or our ancestors had any part in.

                      Part of that sentence is correct we do not know who wrote the gospels and there is no rational debate or dissension about that.

                      We know nothing of the kind. There is a theory that the writer of Matthew may have come from a Hellenised Jewish background but it is by no means an established fact. Among various NT scholars it remains a matter of speculation and discussion.

                      In what specific respect, in what particular details, and which precise prose texts?

                      You will need to specify definitive texts. Which precise Qumran document [s] are you referencing?

                      Examine it for yourself and apply a modicum of critical and objective textual analysis to the prose.

                        It's literally blood libel. That the term itself was introduced later does not make it magically not blood libel, just as transgenders have existed for a long time before the term was invented. Etc.

                          Well, . . . ah not the point of my posts, and no I have not addressed this issue. I could document that White privilege did give a huge economic advantage to the white population of America, but I cannot bring that down to the individual level.

                          Again, I never referred to individual responsibility nor guilt. I said:

                          No one is proposing that take responsibility for the sins of others. What is important is to acknowledge the racist history of the USA, and the devastating impact it has had on the blacks, their society and culture. But yes, the sins of our Anglo-Saxon ancestors and many today is brutal and immoral.

                          Your family heritage had the Anglo-Saxon advantage. All whites in the USA have the Anglo-Saxon advantage it is a fact of history.
