So why do you dispute Shoshanna?  Anyhow, I fail to see what this post
has to do with the Hebrew Bible.  It is quotes from the book of Romans
ascribed to the apostate Paul, whose identification as a Jew cannot be
taken at face value as representative of Jewish thought, especially when
what you are quoting is apparently how Paul represents Christianity to
non-Jews.
