Whether you like it or not, the reference to "sons of the Most High" appears in Psalms. Brace yourself: Jesus was one such son. I am not in a very healing mood today and, in any case, am always such a piss-poor Christian that I lack sufficient faith, so, if you want to cure yourself of...

Mordechai? That helps to explain things. "MORDECAI (; probably = "belonging to Marduk," a Babylonian divinity)." Serv

Not only do the territorial maps of Palestine, over time, tell another story but so does the number of Palestinian refugees worldwide. As I see it, Israel isn't so much crap at ethnic cleansing as it is somewhat slow at it. I see that Dani Dayan, a visionary Eretz Israelite with what sounds...

Here it is. Source: Moses Maimonides (Epistle to Yemen) "... Thus Daniel in his description of the rise of the Arabic kingdom after the fall of the Roman Empire, alluded to the appearance of the Madman [i.e., Muhammad, sorry Muslims, but this is a polemical Epistle and the Jews, at the time...

"I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High." It seems to me that if St. Paul did not preach a Judaizing message, neither did the Psalmist sing a Judaizing song. I don't doubt that there are many Graecophiles out there who would argue that the Jews, in this case the...

[tongue-in-cheek mode on] Not so fast there, Ben. Your first sentence has registered an 8.5 on the homophobia meter. The subject is not disgusting. As any happy multi-culturalist (and Woody Trotsky) will tell you, homophobia, like anti-Semitism, is a big No No! If you want to overcome it...

To me, that is increasingly evident. I don't consider America's complicity in ethnic cleansing as proof of its "blessing." On the contrary, it is proof of its demise. Serv

Hi bananabrain, Aye. That is enough said. I have no need to dredge up insults to women in any text, ancient or modern. I will now excuse my sometimes hot-headed and temperamental self from this thread. By the way, that, your above-provided link, is an interesting theory. I am quite sure...

That word, the dramatic sentence in which it was found, was followed immediately by my saying that I was writing partly tongue-in-cheek. I think you're still speaking English as a Brit and I as a Yank and, as usual, neither the twain is meeting. Something about these posts of Ben's makes me a...

Aaargh! That sentence lacked an important word. It should read: To me, an invisible, all-powerful real estate agent for Zionism sounds like the ghost of Baron Rothschild. Serv

Should have been worded: "I think, then, that the parents who educate their children at home are often reactionary ..." Serv

Hello, Hermes Austin Spare, There is a first time for everything, and this is it for me. I've never had the chance to congratulate a friend on discovering one of his or her past lives, but this, apparently, is it. Congratulations! Should we, like, have a cigar or something :)? Serv

Your concept of God, in this case, seems no higher than that of an invisible, amorous and all-powerful real estate for Zionism. With that said, how do you know that your beloved, the one who has thrown you into a full nelson, is not the ghost of Baron Rothschild? I know you would. I read...

Thank you for asking, Radarmark. The subject is complex, but, generally speaking, to me it seems a choice between Scylla and Charybdis. I don't see that children educated, or, perhaps more accurately put, socially engineered, in public schools fare much better. Catholics, if at times arguably...

Thank you for hearing me, Amergin. In the scary future, when we are besieged by atavistic religionsts from the east and amoral scientificists from the west, I do hope that we are assigned to the same bunker. Therein, we shall enjoy ourselves, write rebuttals, devise imaginative and effective...

If you are citing this as an instance of America's theocratic tendencies, I think it is really little more than an example of what Michael Harrington called America's pro forma religiosity combined with de facto atheism. It seems to me that the state-sponsored religion of America is mammonism...

Thank you, Sandy K. I have no more questions at this time, your honor, Servie says, addressing the bench. Serv

Source: Zbigniew Brzezinski: "... But the little secret here may be that the vagueness of the phrase ["war on terror"] was deliberately (or instinctively) calculated by its sponsors. Constant reference to a "war on terror" did accomplish one major objective: It stimulated the emergence of a...

Thank you, Amergin. I don't understand, from this introductory essay, if you consider that the portions of Daniel called prophecy are actually that, prophecy, written before and descriptive of upcoming events, or if they are history posing as prophecy written after the fact. Is the whole...

There is no need to apologize: it was hot! :D That, I must say, is a thought-provoking essay for the Christian forum. Oddly enough, the editors of my King James Version of the Bible, evidently having had some difficulties understanding the exact nature of this erotic poem, describe the Song...
