Well you're laughing at something I believe Silver.
The commandments to care for the widows and orphans, the edict to leave the surplus wheat ungathered for the poor to take (instead of dumping it in the ocean as now), the commandments involving morality, the stories that give moral guidance. Judaism is based on the old testament. Many Pentecostals delve into the old testament with fervour for human rights, morals and the like.
