    Adultery...bad?

    With as much grace and humility as one could muster, this one has a few comments on the matter. I too, sought answers to this... some time ago. The answer lies within a paradox that stalemates the union of said couples. The paradox... is if one is to embrace the love of God, while denying one...

    Greatest tug of war!

    The more one looks within themselves, the more they're aware of this struggle between the temporary and the eternal ? Yet, there is something defined, that when the look within has diminished, whereby the self has no resting place, the impulse from what is known and unknown collapses yet again...

    Greatest tug of war!

    zenzero, Yes! As you say! Yet, for all of mankind to have lived... the manifestation that separates is experienced for a time. Most it is fair to say, remain consistent in that. Here, the tug of war resonates. This post is an Act (scene) considered from the same play you mention. Sharing in...

    seyorni, My day! As most all days... as they should be! Quite a ride! It is a pleasure to be a householder. Wifee and 3 grown... 30 yrs+. Though rapidly becoming a minority. lol Friends don't know what to think. Wifee says we are too dysfunctional to break up. I like that. Blessings!

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    logician, You wrote, "...there is simply no reason a virgin birth was necessary." Assuming this was a valid conclusion and not an attempt to stir the water, this one would like to ask, "Was it your methodology of thinking that had come to reason, that if divine is divine... all things are...

    11 errors by Jesus and friends.

    Pshady313, Yes!That will be a most interesting debate... that most all could take something from. The Torah, New testament, Holy of holies, conclusion of the Torah with Ecclesiastics, and all related fodder with regards to the timing of it all. This one truly believes much has been missed...

    Greatest tug of war!

    One must always remember that duties must be carried out, whether one is a householder, a son, or warrior etc. Hence all decisions should be weighed, with this insight, and interest in mind. It is likewise beneficial to examine how each like, and dislike, factors in. Esp. when approaching...

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    sojourner, Regarding consistency and truth. Should the Torah have continued its divine inspiration whereby more insight could be added... running side by side with the fantasy and ramblings of the new agers (new testament); one could have certainly weighed the inspirations between the two. Such...

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    Yes! One must consider the comings and goings esp. after the prophecy whereby Isaiah establishes 700+/- years... whereby the imitator could start his ramblings. Interesting to note how Ecclesiastes was canonized to sum up the Hebrew Bible just about the time of Yeshua. 12:12 And further, by...

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    s-word, It is my hope, that considering new age or new testament teachings does not threaten your study regarding "older" text. As you quoted the book of Enoch, The Second book of Adam and Eve, and perhaps even The Cave of treasures along with the Torah and others you are venturous no more, nor...

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    s-word, Let it be said that deception is no stranger to me. In this it is far better for me not to linger over a word that denotes virgin vses young women as in Isaiah 7:14. Perhaps one should look with eyes open and consider verses Isaiah 7-25 as well as what can be seen in the rest. Ps. It...

    Greatest tug of war!

    Continued: Krishna in the gita gives ample testimony of what is seen by the divine; the likes that mankind cannot fathom. Yet, the struggles that are placed before each soul are tasks that are viewed from the whole that is this God-Consciousness. Initially, such thoughts as being "watched" by...

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    s-word, You are beginning to impress me... perhaps even a lot! lol I have not "heard" from any other.. the insights you share so readily. This does pose a bigger intrigue to me... the fact you have explored as much would have me believe you have been inspired to do so. Yet, there remains...

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    s-word, Pleased to "met" your acquaintance and your reply. Why have we been kept apart for so long... you are a joy to me. lol Perhaps we could debate the gospels that were left behind at the Council of Laodicea in 302 A.D. You are sold on the canonized literature placed before you. Thou since...

    Why was a “virgin birth” necessary?

    This takes a certain measure of acceptance (understanding) and not all will be ready to do so. Mary, daughter of Anna and Joachim was promised to the temple as her parents were initially barren. Joachim and Anna could not be the first to give alms in the temple for they did not have an...

    New to the RF and wish to say, Hello!... to each reply here on this thread. For the record: As any layperson can, i have peeked into most religions and supporting scripture's. It has been to my astonishment to see an uncanny consistency running through them all. Often, one must distinguish...
