I did not realize that.

I'm curious too, I hadn't heard that as either a devotional or scholarly theory. (??) EDIT - I added this before reading other remarks, good information from @Thomas

This is a clever little YouTube Short If it doesn't play on our site it's called Who Invited Astrology to the Science Party @ElleCordova https://www.youtube.com/@ElleCordova/shorts

This is a thoughtful examination of the painting The Mocking of Christ by Danish artist Carl Bloch. The channel host offers a thorough and meaningful analysis in the work of art and the context of its place in art history in a nutshell -- only 8 minutes. The last few seconds is the channel host...

More transparently and less paradoxically, one could say "freedom becomes/can lead to slavery to a path of your own choosing" Freedom though, could also lead to a winding and desultory path rather than a path of any discipline at all.

I have heard that Tikkun Olam means "repairing the world"

Debatable. Some denominations say no. In Judaism the ideas vary depending upon denomination as well, or particular scholars or rabbis. But you asked about concept. I asked about facts. Does anybody have factual knowledge about souls? Does anybody know what they are? It's one thing to pick up the...

Must they have cosmic meaning? Also who says there is no meaning just because it comes to an end? Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Conditional immortality - salvation is the resurrection and eternal life - the wicked do not get eternal life.

Are there any known facts about it? Does every religion or even any religion explicitly clarify this? Definitely not taught in those denominations that teach conditional immortality.

Welcome. I like your avatar. Tell us a little about yourself. I look forward to reading your posts.

Matthew 10:28 https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Matthew%2010%3A28 How do you know the soul cannot be destroyed? G-d cannot?

How can I explain? I guess I am not making myself understood. But I will go back to this I have no idea what you mean by this.

akin to karma what does death mean then? do you think destruction and failure mean the same thing? Do they mean something different from ceasing to exist? All 3 could mean something different I suppose all 3 words are used to describe the collapse of a structure like a building. Failure of the...

Or natural ability. Also interest.

I understand that last remark, I just don't see how it follows from the first, or how or why it would be called freedom.

Well it was considered the 9th planet for decades until it was fired or demoted in 2006. I even remember a sly entry in one of the news magazines at the time, which had a little section on which famous people got fired that year. Mostly sports coaches or movie directors, a few high profile CEOs...

Were Matthew and John known to be the actual authors of the books or were their names just put to them? Long before I knew anything about bible scholarship per se, I picked up the idea from somewhere that the authors of the gospels were the students of the disciples and not the disciples...
