    When interpretations go beyond the text

    This is always gonna be interesting to me...2/3s of the Christian Bible is the Old Testament, which many (if not most) Christians see as the Jewish bible...but without the mishnah and midrash we are missing the interpretations and discussions of the texts written well before Jesus came along.

    When interpretations go beyond the text

    You fell into my issue ...not fully explaining, it was.fully composed and made sense in your head after watching and everyone was on the same page...alas... As to the story of Noah, and checking sources, the size of the ark, the worldwide flood destroying mankind, development of the...

    AB Higashi, again, how to do theology with the bible

    As I see it the Jews and their prophets came down from the mountain and across the desert and wrote down what they devined. Jesus and his band of merry followers said "Yeah, but..." And then the.mountain came to Mohamed. And the Bahaualla, Bab, Halle Sallasi, Joseph Smith, the Transcendental...

    AB Higashi, again, how to do theology with the bible

    Litterally....yes. lol, but can I, have I, have others benefitted from alternate interpretations of the allegory and parables and metaphysics contained within the abramshamic texts? Also, literally YES!

    AB Higashi, again, how to do theology with the bible

    I still can't in any way buy the creator G!d. That old white man in the sky is stuck in my brain and pokes out everytime I hear the word. Butch is the closest I can get and even his use of the word makes the hairs stand up and stomach rumble.

    If you meet Eckhart on the road ...

    As I see it, if anyone finds anything that improves any part of their attitude or life or motivates them to be a better more empathetic and caring person...from someone they met on the road I wouldn't kill them.

I think all religions have value...how much...

    McClellan, again...

    My belief is...if it happened he was doodling...taking a time out to go within, to cogitate, commune with the father, his higher self....at a minimum it is a parable for not immediately following the crowd, take ten deep breaths, respond rather than react...

    One God, Many Paths

    I have been to a few of these types of events over the decades...put on by various religions, bahai, seventh day Adventists, Moonies, etc. It often seems to me they are actually advertisements for their belief, trying to increase their numbers by gathering from those on the fence or...

    An unfair fight - Atheists vs Believers

    My reason is single. Atheists have nothing to lose.... and agnostics in this case are worse in that respect. Prove a believer wrong, pull the rug out from under them and you have taken their G!d, their community, maybe initiated ostracization from their family. Prove an atheist wrong and...
