Here's hoping all went well. Some rain down here in Somerset. I don't know why many people think that England is a rainy country. It is vastly exaggerated...IMVVVVVHO :cool: (V=very)

It just occurred to me that 'turning the other cheek' doesn't tell you what to do with your fists or feet. (yes, I know this is silly)

I have a cousin who says he is vegetarian who eats white meat(chicken I suppose) and fish. He was quite serious and I kept a straight face. 🙃

Thanks for the informative reply. You are correct. The person who gave that Bible(over 30 years ago) was a Messianic Jew who may well have wanting to recruit. I'll see if I can find a different Hebrew or Aramaic translation of the NT. Cheers.

Yes, that's what I meant. @666morningstar999 Thanks for the correction, I changed my post to reflect this.

Very interesting. I did a search using 'god' and could not find and occurrences of YHVH however I did find this 136 'Adonay ad-o-noy' am emphatic form of 113; the Lord (used as a proper name of God only):--(my) Lord. Which is what Jews today say in place of (YHVH). I did find elohim, 430...

Yesterday was very sunny and my wife and self went to the local abbey grounds and had this

@Faithfulservant Thanks, this came up in a discussion I was having with a close (Christian) friend. Have a great day..:)

This is the first verse I have heard quoted In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. However, I was shown the JW's version(NWT) and it says In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. Is the NWT saying that the Word...

Thanks for that. It makes sense to me as I grew up Jewish and we were never to even try to pronounce YHVH(although many of us did). So, as I understand, the NT was actually written in Greek. My next question is then did the Greek have different words for elohim and YHVH(if you know)?

The copy of the New Testament that I have sometimes used is printed by The Society for distributing the Hebrew Scriptures. It is written both in English and Hebrew. Up until today I have only read the English, however I was viewing some discussions about using one of God's names(YHVH) and...

In 1973 I came in contact with a Guru who claimed he could reveal God to anyone directly. He said he had the Knowledge of God and could give it to anyone, whether they believed in God or not. So anyway I received this Knowledge from the Guru (whom I later came to believe was the incarnation of...

Also I like being in the company of those with no agenda other than a simple or not-so-simple love of life/existence.

The whole book is worth a read. It's not very long. There are loads of translations into English. The first one I read was the Penguin version which is just the text translation without comments, leaving the reader to form their own opinion. (IMO :>))

The Bagavad Gita is a part of a larger writing, The Mahabarata(The Great War). The BG is a conversation between a fighter(Arjuna) and his charioteer(Krishna), Krishna being the incarnation of Vishnu, the Supreme Being(God). Arjuna is questioning the justice of the war, particularly because he...

I just watched a good documentary that some here may be interested in. It's on BBC IPlayer Here's the introduction: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00lpk70/storyville-the-trials-of-oppenheimer J Robert Oppenheimer was one of the most celebrated scientists of his generation. Shy...

So, I found this series on https://www.angel.com/watch. I'm half way through series 3 and loving it. Excellent acting and brings the whole story down to Earth.

Several decades ago, when I was peaking in my search for Truth, I became a renunciate(monk) in the religion I was in. I had already given up all 'wordly' things, or rather had no more desires for those things. I left everything(worldly) joyfully and didn't feel I was running away. I stayed in...
