    The Contribution of "JW's" to RT

    You can say that again! I like to watch TV-Evangelistic shows and none can open his or her mouth without promoting the Pauline policy of Replacement Theology.

    The Estraordinary Man

    THE EXTRAORDINARY MAN The other day I picked up the book, "Crime and Punishment" and read it wholy in three days. The thing that touched me the most was the concept of the extraordinary man in the Philosophy of the author, Fyodor Dostoevsky. Dostoevsky postulates in his book that all people...

    Cloud by Day and Fire by Night

    And what would you call a more appropriate forum? I could not bring this to a Christian forum because it wouldn't be too wise to go for a Christian opinion about a Jewish issue in the Jewish Torah. What's your opinion about this matter, literal or metaphorical?

    John Shelby Spong

    And you still "Love this dude" with the same credibility even after his testimony about Paul as he whose thorn in the flesh was his struggle against repressed homosexual feelings? If he is right as his credibility stands for him, his remark is quite compromising vis-a-vis the founder of...

    Cloud by Day and Fire by Night

    CLOUD BY DAY AND FIRE BY NIGHT I have just read the book of Hugh Joseph Schonfield, "And the Bible was Right." The man exhausts himself to prove that there was nothing supernatural about the column of cloud by day and the column of fire by night during the crossing of the Israelites through the...

    John Shelby Spong

    Tell me Xkatz, are you talking about that Episcopal Bishop who wrote about the thorn in Paul's flesh as being his struggle with repressed homosexual feelings? I am not putting up the issue for discussion. I just would like to identify this "Most intelligent and convincing philosopher and...

    Treats to Perform or Behave Well

    In a way, you right. It reminds me of the 613 commandments for the Jews and only the seven Noahide laws for the Gentiles. Because the only reward the Jew is after, is obedience to the Law. There is some kind of inherent pleasure in the number of commandments to obey. One of the reasons why many...

    Treats to Perform or Behave Well

    Yes, I agree with you. Paul used it in one of his letters. I just don't remember right now in which one. I am gonna look for and quote for you next time. Perhaps any one of the other posters could help me with it?

    Treats to Perform or Behave Well

    The quote in Ecclesiastes 9:6 is just a confirmation of my views that Paul, in I Corinthians 15:32 was dealing with an illusion or false hope that the dead will ever return from death. I think I should have quoted Job 10:21 and 2 Sam. 12:23 that there is no coming back to a kind of afterlife.

    Treats to Perform or Behave Well

    Yes, but observed from the angle of the natural law of cause and effect. But to behave well with the eye on a promise is childish. You know, things of the realm of faith, which is fed by religion. It does produce some kind of a passing state of happiness, but at the end or close to it, it might...

    Treats to Perform or Behave Well

    Yes, I agree with you that in dealing with children, it is entirely something else. I think Paul himself said that when we were children, we acted like children; but now that we are adults, we must behave as adults are supposed to. When he wrote his letter to the Corinthians, he was an adult...

    Treats to Perform or Behave Well

    Well, I think I mentioned Paul recommending the same kind of behavior with regards to the resurrection. IOW, he recommended to behave well with an eye on the resurrection of the dead. Perhaps someone asked him: What about if the dead won't resurrect? Then, in that case, Paul said, "Lets us eat...

    Treats to Perform or Behave Well

    TREATS TO PERFORM OR BEHAVE WELL I have just finished reading a book about the ability to learn among the animals. That the main reason to develop that ability is by the use of exquisite tastiful pellets of food to be given them after each performance of the animal. I am sorry to share with...
