HABIT  many lived within Jewish society,\nthe error of your logic is that that you are equating the apostles ability not to follow the laws with their ability to choose to do so

Looks like it should have been a felony.  See sentancing guideline below:\n\nSec. 387.\n\n(1) A person, other than the burial right owner or his or her representative, heir at law, or a person having care, custody, or control of a cemetery pursuant to law, a contract, or other legal right, shall not willfully destroy, mutilate, deface, injure, or remove a tomb, monument, gravestone, or other structure or thing placed or designed for a memorial of the dead, or a fence, railing, curb, or other thing intended for the protection or for the ornament of any tomb, monument, gravestone, or other structure described in this subsection or any other enclosure for the burial of the dead and shall not willfully destroy, mutilate, remove, cut, break, or injure any tree, shrub, or plant, placed or being within such an enclosure.\n\n(2) Prosecution under subsection (1) may commence upon complaint by the burial right owner or his or her representative, heir at law, or person having care, custody, or control of a cemetery, tomb, monument, gravestone, or other structure or thing described in subsection (1).\n\n(3) If the total amount of damage is less than $200.00, a person who violates subsection (1) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 93 days or a fine of not more than $500.00 or 3 times the amount of damage, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine.\n\n(4) If any of the following apply, a person who violates subsection (1) is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by imprisonment for not more than 1 year or a fine of not more than $2,000.00 or 3 times the amount of damage, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine:\n\n(a) The total amount of damage is $200.00 or more but less than $1,000.00.\n\n(b) The total amount of damage is less than $200.00 and the person has 1 or more prior convictions for committing or attempting to commit an offense under this section or a local ordinance substantially corresponding to this section.\n\n(5) If any of the following apply, a person who violates subsection (1) is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 5 years or a fine of not more than $10,000.00 or 3 times the amount of damage, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine:\n\n(a) The total amount of damage is $1,000.00 or more but less than $20,000.00.\n\n(b) The total amount of damage is $200.00 or more but less than $1,000.00 and the person has 1 or more prior convictions for committing or attempting to commit an offense under this section. For purposes of this subdivision, however, a prior conviction does not include a conviction for a violation or attempted violation of subsection (3) or (4)(b).\n\n(6) If any of the following apply, a person who violates subsection (1) is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 10 years or a fine of not more than $15,000.00 or 3 times the amount of damage, whichever is greater, or both imprisonment and a fine:\n\n(a) The total amount of damage is $20,000.00 or more.\n\n(b) The total amount of damage is $1,000.00 or more but less than $20,000.00 and the person has 2 or more prior convictions for committing or attempting to commit an offense under this section. For purposes of this subdivision, however, a prior conviction does not include a conviction for a violation or attempted violation of subsection (3) or (4)(b).\n\n(7) The amounts of damage in separate incidents pursuant to a scheme or course of conduct within any 12-month period may be aggregated in determining the total amount of damage.\n\n(8) If the prosecuting attorney intends to seek an enhanced sentence based upon the defendant having 1 or more prior convictions, the prosecuting attorney shall include on the complaint and information a statement listing the prior conviction or convictions. The existence of the defendant's prior conviction or convictions shall be determined by the court, without a jury, at sentencing or at a separate hearin

I am not a Jew but I spent a year in Israel and worshipped with Messianic Jews and have friends among them. I've been to Messianic Jewish churches in England too. I know how they think.\n\nMost of the answers above are inaccurate.\n\nIn Israel there are many Christians like you who want to respect and adopt the Jewish tradition. I warn you strongly against it.\n\nRead Galatians and Acts 15. The early Church had to square up to the issue of whether or not gentiles should obey the Torah, and came down firmly against it. It leads to re-enslavement, this time to the Law, which Christ died to set us free from. We do His will by the help of the Holy Spirit, not by attempting to keep the Law, which we will fail at anyway.\n\nThe Christians I've met, mostly in Israel, who start to dabble with Judaism begin by worshipping on Shabbat (Sabbath), keeping the Jewish festivals and using Hebrew terminology. Many become more and more influenced until they believe we have to obey all 613 commandments in Leviticus. There are even extreme cases who ditch Jesus altogether. I knew a New Zealander in Jerusalem who had been baptised in the Spirit and spoken in tongues for 15 years or so. He became convinced that Judaism was correct and that Jesus was a deceiver and, in fact, (God forgive me for repeating this) that He was Satan.\n\nBEWARE!

sacrifices are not neccesary for the temple is gone for now (the real messiah will see it rebuilt) and jews follow the 613 laws of torah the best that they can. Yes the laws of the torah (the old testiment is christian, not jewish) the tanakh is jewish, correct, and unchanged are still aplicable to all jews.

I think you are talking about the re burials?\n\nhttp://starbulletin.com/2005/12/27/news/story02.html

First you have to get a permit from the city then talk to the place where the burial took place they should be able to tell you.

I doubt that this is still practiced.  Most coffins now are metal; Orthodox Jews use wood, but metal is not permitted.  Years ago when coffins were made of wood, the cover would be nailed to prevent accidental opening during transit, potentially exposing contents.

I am not sure what you are referring to, by "the Jewish Holy Figure"?\n\nGd forbids the Jews from having any figure, sculpture, or artwork that is worshipped, as that would make it idolatry, if that helps.\n\n          Exodus 20:3-3 3 Thou shalt have no other \n          gods before me. 4  Thou shalt not make \n          unto thee any graven image, or any \n          likeness of any thing that is in heaven \n          above, or that is in the earth beneath, \n          or that is in the water under the earth:

At the time the laws were originally given to the Isrealites they were actual laws.  They were known as the Mosaic Law covenant.  As long as the Isrealites stayed faithful to God they would have his protection and favor. Unfortunately the Isrealites did not remain faithful and they lost that favor.  The Mosaic Law covenant became null when Jesus was put to death.  A new covenant was put in place that all nations were bound to not just the Isrealites.  This covenant provided a complete forgivness of sin through Jesus' ransom sacrifice.

The standard practice is for the remains to be returned to the grieving family. Beforehand, an individual soldier may make other arrangements (during Vietnam, one Navy pilot requested to be buried at sea if he was killed in action).\n\nA detail is assigned to assist at the funeral. A friend of mine was killed in Iraq, and at her wake there was an active duty sergeant assisting.

Not for Israelites under Old Testament law.  Now whether it is accceptable to God now, I don't know, but I wouldn't think it would be wise to do so.  Better let the past stay past.

casue they were jews.

hi. the answer is... because a convert to another religion, i.e. christianity, has deliberately and specifically rejected the the jewish religion and people, by actively leaving it and joining another, whereas most "jewish" atheists have not. to us, a "jewish" christian (including "messianic jews") is a plain-old christian like any other, but a "jewish" atheist is just a non-practicing jew. \n\nalso, there ARE many christians, even who are not at all jewish under jewish law and never have been, who are eligible to go to israel under the law of return. the law of return says that not only jews, but non-jewish children, grandchildren, in-laws, etc of jews can immigrate as well. there are two main reasons - the first is to  keep families from being broken, and the second is to protect non-jews who are at risk of being persecuted for their jewish background/heritage safe as well.\n\nhowever, israel rejects applications from actual jewish people who convert to another religion to immigrate under the law of return. to them there is a difference between an innocent christian child getting sent to a death camp in nazi germany because his grandfather was a jew, and a fully jewish person who, aware that converting to another religion will make him forfeit his claim to jewish peoplehood, does it anyway. converts out of judaism have to immigrate to israel the regular way, by moving in, spending a couple years there, and then applying for citizenship. in the unlikely scenario, though, where some new fascist regime persecuting jews surfaced and converts out of judaism were being persecuted as jews, israel would let them in. but that scenario is pretty unlikely. in this day and age, most of the jews have already fled the countries that persecute jews and are now already in israel.

The laws you are quoting are from Levitical law.  We wouldn't understand them in our 21st century culture, but they were necessary is keeping the society that was present more than three millennia ago in check, as all laws do.  If you could see what was permissable in societies surrounding the Israelites, you'd probably be horrified; infant sacrifice, for instance.  \n\nThe New Testament, being composed 1200-1400 years later, takes a different view of the law; as society has changed, it needed more than laws to keep it in check, but someone to embody and fulfil the law; hence Jesus.  Even with that, though, sin is still there and certain practices (homosexuality and witchcraft, for example) are still forbidden.  But they don't have the same command of death as a result.\n\nWhat you're referencing is Levitical law without the presence of Jesus to atone for the sins of the people.  Since I assume you didn't invent this list yourself, I would hypothesize it's actually used as a criticism of Jewish culture; or a particular figure like Dr. Laura.

burying and burning r the common practices.however the parsis(zorashtrians) lower the dead body into a well and the eagles come and eat it.sometimes the body is beaten with shoes so it attracts the birds.\nin the harappan days people used to bury the dead bodies intheir courtyard with ornaments,weapons and food.

According to Rabbi Maurice Lamm (author of "The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning") the custom of placing stones on the monument "probably serves as a reminder of the family's presence. [The evidence that this grave is attended, visited and cared for, is respectful for the deceased - NS]. Also, it may hark back to biblical days when the monument was a heap of stones. Often the elements or roving vandals dispersed them, and so visitors placed other additional stones to assure that the grave was marked."\n\n\n\nAlso, by placing a stone we further participate in the "construction" of the tombstone -- which in itself constitutes a mitzvah.\n\n\n\nIncidentally, it is not a Chabad custom to place stones on tombstones
