I don’t want to disrail this thread, seeing as I am non-Christian, but not a disciple of Jesus. I would, respectfully, like to ask a question of you and this seemed like a good time and place to do so. Would that be okay? If not, I can find an alternative.

Sometimes I don’t mind repeating myself. This secular year Erev Yom Kippur begins Wednesday evening, October 1.

I wasn’t trying to argue or start a debate. As I mentioned I was simply answering questions posed in the less restrictive Abrahamic Religions subforum.

Only because this thread is not in the Christianity sub forum and you included us all do I give my answer your question - No.

Well, I celebrated my forum bar mitzvah year in January so I’m just a teenager……with white hair, white beard and age spots.

@badger - Take your time reading and responding to the post. The person you responded to has not been on the forum in 13 years.

Tomorrow eve marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, 5786 on the Jewish calendar. If it was not clear from what I wrote above, let me clarify here that my hopes and prayers are for all people, everywhere.

@walter - You seem reluctant to acknowledge that Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Jesus and Michael, the archangel, are one and the same. Why? Anyone can go to the organization’s website, jw.org, for confirmation. I have had to deal with some of the health issues you have. I wish you well on...

A review of the conversations on this forum would show that your perception is incorrect.

@mystic_friend - You are the one who stated that some people are born greedy. You seem to be indicating that some people are born liars. You indicate that certain negative character traits are mental disorders, but you seem to be saying that these are not inborn. Care to explain?

Beat me to it.

If we are to assume that what you say is true, should then we assume that some people are also born with any and all other negative traits including, but not limited to: racism, any other form of prejudice, dishonesty, murderous rages, cruelty, larcency?

You have misconstrued what I wrote. I did not say that Archarya S’ theories were wrong. I simply stated that her positions were not widely accepted and were disputed and/or refuted and as such, since you were presenting her those positions spelled out in her book as proof of a position, I wanted...

@mystic_friend - I’m sure you are aware that just about anything said about Acharya S in the present tense is not accurate since it has been 10 years since her death. I assume, as well, that you are aware that her views are not widely held and have been refuted and/or disputed by others. Given...

When you say you’re “into” do you mean as an academic study or do you mean as perspectives and practices you share and want to integrate into your life?

For most diaspora Jews Greek would have been the common every day language spoken by them in contrast to the Aramaic spoken, with some regional dialect differences, in Judea and the surrounding area. Contrary to what some believe, Hebrew remained a spoken language by a limited group of people in...

@Longfellow - Adon Yeshua Christos? Why the mixing of Hebrew and Greek?

Let me welcome you to the forum. It would be nice if you would tell us a bit more about yourself via a post on the Introductions section on the forum.
