@Guru @Autumn - So, in trying to be informed where would you go, what source would you use, to get the least biased information?

I don’t think you’ll find many, if any, Christian faiths that would approve, at least based on the Hebrew scriptures, but I am not a Christian. Christian members of the forum can probably give you a more definitive answer.

@badger - Perhaps you meant excommunication, not execution regarding Martin Luther?

I’m confused. You posed a question. Thankfully, @Thomas was here to provide a clear and concise answer, noting without criticism that you had apparently misunderstood what Jesus had been saying. Your response seemed to indicate that you thought that Thomas had not correctly understood what you...

That’s not what the Bible says. Where did you get the idea that it does?

Do I believe in G-d? Yes. However, the video you posted is no more compelling than any of the other myriad restatements of the argument from design. Do you anything else to share on the subject or anything else on your mobile mind? Welcome to the forum.

If the king was, in fact, Balak as you indicated in a later post, then your description here of the incident is wrong, at least according to the Bible, starting in Numbers 22. This raises some questions. Did you read the story in the Bible, but misread, misunderstood or misremembered the story...

What about the paintings from other parts of the world that depict a Jesus who looks like a man from those parts of the world? The color of Jesus’ skin remains an open question. I do have to wonder if there is some agenda behind your description of Jesus as a “Palestinian person of color”.

Is there a contest to see which forum member can file the most incomprehensible post? The only thing consistantly identifiable in your posts is your condescending arrogance.

@Thomas - As you can imagine my day to day living, and not infrequently my evenings, is spent in the trenches. I will get to your request in post #15….. but it won’t be today.

As noted by others the membership of this forum is diverse. There are devout Christians from several different denominations. There are Jews and Muslims, Baha’is and those who follow the spiritual paths of the Far East. We have New Agers and Theosophists and those who follow their own...

There have been stone coins, but as far as I am aware stone coins were not used during the Stone Age.

You have provided nothing besides your unsupported assertion that atheists do not believe in morality or in philosophy. Your third sentence is equally unsupported.

You’ve shown here that you don’t know Hebrew. You’ve shown elsewhere that you really do not know much about Judaism. That you lack knowledge of either is something that could be corrected if you took the time and made the effort. You don’t have to. You’re not required to. Here’s the thing...

A link cited more than 20 years ago no longer works and you’re surprised??

His brothers. Reread the Joseph narrative. See ifvyou can figure it out.

In Hebrew scripture, what you have called the old testament, the word satan is not used as a name.

How about you try writing your thoughts in Dutch and put that through a program such as GoogleTranslate to see if the English is any better.

@spiritualbee - Joseph was not king. The cup involved was made of silver not gold. Besides not knowing the basics of the story what else don’t you understand?

You have responded to a thread that had been dormant for 21 years. You have responded to a forum member who has been gone from the forum for 12 years. With the exception of @iBrian all of the other participants in this discussion have not been heard from in years and years. You may get...
