How can religion help in resolving the world conflicts and in achieving peace and prosperity

1. How can religionhelpinresolvingthe worldconflictsandinachievingpeace andprosperity?
The Israeli–Palestinianconflictcouldbe resolvedif we refertothe religionteachingsastaughtbyMoses.
The core of the issue isthe inaccurate understandingthatthe Jewsare the unconditionallychosen
people of God;that iswrong accordingto the teachingsof Moseslike Exodus19:5, Leviticus18:4-5,
Leviticus26, Deuteronomy11:18-20, 11:26-28 , Deuteronomy28,Deuteronomy30:15-16 , and
Deuteronomy30:19, Deuteronomy32:46-47
Those are the mostreiteratedandconsistentteachingsof Torahwhichteachthat the choice of God and
the blessingsare conditional ‘blessingsforobedience andcursesfordisobedience’
Mosesdidnot teach that the Jewsare the onlychosenpeople;the correctdefinitionof the chosen
people of Godas taught byMoses isan openinvitationtoeachpersontobe a chosensonof God by
obedience,bymaintainingjustice,byapplyingone measure orone law forJewsandNon-Jews, for
takingcare of the orphans,the widows,andthe strangers
Jewishscholarsdonotteachthe original teachingsanymore;theyteachthe distortedteachingsof
Deuteronomy9:5-6and Deuteronomy7:6in orderto claimthat God has chosenthemregardlessof the
conditionof obedience
Those claimswere nottaughtby Moses,David,Solomon,Isaiah,orbythe Prophets;those prophets
have warnedof the wrong teachings
Psalms4:3 teachesthatpeople are consideredasthe chosenpeople of Godbecause of theirobedi ence,
not because of the righteousnessof theirfathers
The main reasonof the conflictisthe assumptionthatthe Jewsare superiorto othersandthat they
have the right to dowhatevertheywantwithoutmaintainingjustice andwithouthavingtoapplythe
same lawfor JewsandNon-Jews
Moseshas warnedof the expectedturningfromthe wayhe has commandedhispeople,in
Deuteronomy31:27-29 he said
For I knowhowrebelliousandstiff-neckedyouare.If youhave beenrebelliousagainstGodwhileIam
still alive andwithyou,howmuchmore will yourebel afterIdie!
And
For I knowthat aftermy deathyouare sure to become utterlycorruptandto turn fromthe way I have
commandedyou.

2. There ismuch more warningof the scripture changesbymanyprophets;examplesare Amos8:11-12,
Jeremiah8:8-13, 5:30-31, and 23:16, 21, 32, 36, Isaiah30:9-11
In orderto resolve the conflict,itisnecessarytofollow the originalteachings,tomaintainjustice andto
have the same law forJewsandnon-Jewsasperthe original TorahteachingsDeuteronomy25:13-16,
Exodus12:49, Leviticus19:33-37, Leviticus24:22, Numbers15:15-16, Deuteronomy24:14-15
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessarytomaintainJusticeastaughtby Mosesand the Prophets;if any
house or landisnot soldto the Jews;thenthe oldowneror hisdescendantmustbe fairlycompensated
To resolve the conflict,itisnecessarytouse the same measure andthe same law for Jew andnon-Jew
as taught byMoses andby the Prophets
Good Jewishteachershave arole toplay;theycan teach the original teachingsinsteadof the distorted
teachings
Good Muslimscholarshave a role to play;theycan explainthe teachingswhichencourageforgiveness
insteadof revenge;theycanteachthe verseswhichencourage reconciliationandfriendship
The most frequentlyusedHebrew wordisShalom;the mostfrequentlyusedArabicwordisSalam;both
wordsmeansPEACE;those are the most importantgreetingsinHebrewandinArabic.JewsandArabs
shouldapplythe meaningsof theirmostfrequentlyusedwords
We shouldfollowthe wisdomtaughtinIsaiah2:4; itteachesthat
‘Nationshall notliftupswordagainstnation,neithershall theylearnwaranymore’
Isaiahalsotaught thatthe effortsandthe resourcesshouldbe investedinthe agriculturaltoolsto
produce foodinsteadof wastingthe resourcesinthe militaryhardware
‘theyshall beattheirswordsintoplowshares,andtheirspearsintopruninghooks’
We shouldalsorememberthe wisdomtaughtinIsaiah9:16
Those whoguide this people misleadthem,
and those whoare guidedare ledastray.
That wisdomteachthat some leadersdonotlistentothe poorpeople whoneedfoodandpeace;they
listentothe powerful militarygeneralswhojustifymilitaryexpenditureandwhoglorifywars todefeat
theirenemies
We shouldalsorememberthe wisdomtaughtinIsaiah32:16-18
The wisdomteachthat justice will bringpeace
We shouldalsorememberthe prophecyof Isaiah19:23-25
23 In that daythere will be a highwayfromEgyptto Assyria.The AssyrianswillgotoEgypt and the
EgyptianstoAssyria.The EgyptiansandAssyrianswill worshiptogether.24In that day Israel will be the
third,alongwithEgyptand Assyria,a blessing[b]onthe earth.25 God Almightywill blessthem, saying,
“Blessed be Egyptmypeople,Assyriamyhandiwork,andIsrael myinheritance.”

3. Isaiahmentionedthatwe shouldnotlistentothe leaderswhopromote wars,we shouldchange the
prioritytothe agricultural toolsandprosperityinsteadof buildingthe militaryhardware,
Isaiahhas alsomentionedthatwithoutjustice;peoplewill nothave peace orsecuredhome;thenhe
predictedthatthere will be peace andcontinuousroadsbetweenEgypt,Palestine,andIsrael andthat
those nationswill be blessed.
