Thomas said: “Hi Clear — just to pick up on this and clarify my position on a couple of points.” Hi Thomas. The last post between us concerning this topic was October of 2025 when it came to a halt. I am both traveling and I am in the middle of a historical debate on another website and will...

Clear said: “…me’olam Le’olam (rendered “forever and ever”) refers to “forever past” from which ones spirit came out of and “forever future” into which ones spirit is going into. The spirit existed before this life and will exist afterwards in early Judeo-Christian Literature. “ Mohammad_Isa...

Hi Muhammad_Isa Muhammad_Isa asked: “Is "forever and ever" longer than "forever"? The idiom “forever and ever” seems, in English to simply be a redundant idiom. However, this phrase, in the ancient Enochian Hebrew literature occurs as me’olam le’olam. "Olam" is often translated “eternity” or...

Hi @iBrian 1) REGARDING THE DEFINITION AND USAGE OF THE TERM "JUDEO-CHRISTIAN" iBrian quoted Clears statement that: ” I am trying to understand why the various Christian schisms and later movements feel their theologies and interpretations of sacred texts are superior to the theology and...

Clear said: “The inspiration, when it occurs, seems to be an interaction between the Spirit of God as the actor of inspiration and the mind and heart of the individual themselves as those being acted upon, rather than inspiration being an experience given to us by the physical bible and the...

IBrian asked regarding ancient Judeo-Christian theology: “What is this? “ Hi iBrian, Though the term used historically, typically refers to the basic theological principles shared by both ancient Jewish (including pre-Rabbinic) and Christian religions, I am specifically referring to theology...

Hi @Thomas Clear asked: One hears the common Christian claim that "Scriptures are Inspired". IF this is a true statement, Where is the locus of inspiration and its effects? Thomas replied: “I'd say the heart, in the classical understanding of the term.” I think you are right Thomas. The...

Hi EricPh This is a wonderful story Eric. Can you clarify regarding the locus or source of peace and reassurance you felt in this case? While ”faith” in God exists within your personal heart and mind (independent of others), where do you think the actual sense of peace came from? Do you...

One hears the common Christian claim that "Scriptures are Inspired". IF this is a true statement, Where is the locus of inspiration and its effects? Is the locus of inspiration in the actual paper and ink of the text (such as in the manner of a magical object)? Or is the the effect of the...

Clear said: “MY SPECIFIC QUESTION WAS (AND STILL IS): WHY is the Jehovahs Witness interpretations and theology to take priority over the interpretation and theology of ancient Judeo-Christian theology?” Walter claimed: “I myself have my own Theology I explain my fundamental beliefs with Jesus...

Walter said: “Boy that's a lot of words.. Why do you find it necessary to say so much? “ And I have wondered why your responses lack data and logic and clarity. Caritas started the Opening Post by offering to answer J.W. belief, I assumed you understood this context. However, many of your...

Hi Walter: Walter said: “If I used only scriptures would that be useful?” Simply quoting a scripture is not as helpful as adding explanatory comments regarding what YOU think the scripture means. YOU, yourself pointed out: “one person has 10 scriptures that prove a point and another person has...

Walter said: “I see you like to debate about so many words. I don't find it useful to prove other people wrong and carry on an endless debate.” Walter, the usefulness of discovery of error (we ALL have, including me), is that it gives us a chance to abandon error and to adopt more correct...

1) MAKING A CLAIM AND DENYING MAKING A CLAIM ISN’T LOGICAL AND IS CONFUSING TO INDIVIDUALS EXPECTING A LOGICAL CONVERSATION Walter offered a link: “I found this site with only scriptures about producing fruit. I thought the scriptures were relevant.” Clear replied: “…I visited the first link...

Hello Walter. Thank you for the links. I typically do not even look at links or videos since I am more interested in what you think than what others think (though I understand the borrowing of the thoughts of others that seem well said). In your case, I visited the first link. However, the...
