Hello
A priest wrote in the local newspaper that there was very little in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR ) that hadn't already been written in the Law of Moses. I want to respond with an artivle but I'm not a bible-expert like you guys. So, could you help me find examples where the articles of the UDHR are broken? please ![]() I've already found examples for articles 4 and 5. |

So because a 'modern' document reflects some of the sentiments of an ancient moral standard, where it does not agree makes one of the documents "broken"? I do not understand what you are looking for. This Moses thing is a little outdated. What is "missing" from the UDHR that you would add? The right to stone blasphemers or something?
Maybe if you post your examples for 4 and 5 we can see where you are going with this |

Sorry.
What I'm looking for are examples where the Law of Moses violates the UDHR. |

Well, Moses wasn't very strong on religious freedoms. For example, Deuteronomy 13:7-10:
