As I said, I invite you to participate. Anyone for that matter.
However, you have a bad track record on here with other scholars, that repeatedly tell you about "your history" of the situation. So, I have to take you historical projection carefully. Is that not understandable?
So, if you want...
I get that everyone has strong opinions here. I am asking to look directly at the work we have available to us.
I get the feeling that is not a welcome endeavor?
I get that everyone is looking for agendas, angles, and the like, then spread them out and present an opinion. That is not that...
I have to say, just being new here. That it is B E A u-t-ful to see a lesbian moderating a "Religious Forum"
I have to say this also, I imagine it must BURN the heck out of some members that this is so!
Quite lovely...
Please don't litter the thread with your projections, or I will ask that your comments be removed. I invite you to join the discussion, but tone it down a whole lot.
You said nothing specific, but spewed bitterness from the word go. Slow down, and give me some specific examples from the books...
I spent the last few weeks going over a few of the Pauline letters, largely in part from the many comments I have read on this forum about all the contradictions between Paul's writings and the Gospels.
Would anyone care to present some of them to me, so I can understand your reasoning? I had a...
Well for kids, not much beats visiting the castle used for Harry Potter, and the Nottingham Forrest. Two very neat things indeed. Indian food is excellent as well.
London can be hit or miss for people in my experience. If shopping is desired, it is great. There is a lingering stench in London...
I do wonder about how it will develop. Which naturally we can see the need to sometimes consider magic given the state of the world.
I too think the idea you state that tikkun olam comes first then moshiach emerges sounds like the only non-magical solution, at least on the surface.
Something...
Oh, they will have good times over there. The people are generally more laid back. They can be a bit sensitive to Americans, but I realized after being there enough, there is a British pride that just isn't going to disappear :D, so I just let it fall off my back.
I do hope the economy...
And I would expect no less of the opposite if I were on the other side, so rather than blab like a fool, I will try to bone up a bit.
Talk to you soon.
OK thanks, I have only opened his first link, and I am still reading it.
I will refrain from posting any further on the topic until I read up some more.
Sorry for the trouble.
Wow! This is what I was afraid of.
Maybe it is true, maybe there is some deep rooted effort I am not aware of that will want to proselytize. However, on the surface, I simply have never asked someone from the Jewish faith about the topic of their views on Messiah. I suppose the links then, were...
Appreciate the welcoming.
So, I am pretty familiar with the Torah, the prophets, and not so much the Talmud. A two part question comes to mind from your response.
The qualities you list:
Teacher
Tactician
Scholar
All Jews will move to Israel
World Peace will happen (I am assuming from His...
Thank you for the clarification.
Aside from that, I would like to be able to come to this thread if that is OK with you. However, I am reading the links currently you provided, and I may simply have questions that need clarification. Is this a good thread to do that, if it pertains to the...
I have read the outline and beginning of the provided link.
From the outset here, I would like to explain my approach to religion in general, so at least those who respond will know a little more about me.
I loathe and detest greater than anything perhaps, a person holding a religious belief...
Sure, no problem.
What a lovely link, thank you.
To your point, about Muhammad or Bahá'u'lláh, it is an excellent point. Though I am still admittedly eager to learn this one subject as well.
Perhaps, some Mulism, or person that is in the Baha'i faith could interact with me about that as well...
