Hi, well I have heard numerous reason why Jesus doesn't qualify as the Messiah, but only in passing conversations, never from a direct dialog with another person.
I fully respect and accept that Jesus is entirely not part of the Jewish faith.
One thing I have not done, is taken the time to ask...
Whether they go off at different times is irrelevant. They do go off and are measurable. Even predictable. I grant you there is much left to learn about the brain, but we do no how the electrical paths fire.
The point is, that our universe is governed by forces that are opposing in MANY cases...
With all due respect, I wasn't really interested or concerned about what you feel about Jesus. I mean I can understand why you would think I was angling for that, but I really wasn't trying to sneak Jesus into being your Messiah. I just want to make that clear.
No, what I was interested in, is...
It is basically a biblical issue. The irony, at least I hope, is when Jesus comes to collect his folks, all the bigots will be up front waiting to go with him, and Jesus will be like, "Excuse me, excuse me, not you, no not you" Then like Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings, Jesus Slams down his...
You made the statement earlier that the world is not measured from negative and positive, but that those are artificial things that can't be measured. Yet, we measure that kind of activity all the time.
So, from Nihilism and its ideology, you move to a position to define what emotions are based...
Perhaps the biggest and most common folly of all, to think one can answer for the entire bible. Readily what comes to mind is the following:
This poor girl can do as she wishes, but it is easy to let pride get the better of our senses and force us to devote a wasteful amount of time building...
And this is what you think she is involved with doing here?
This is a remedial task at best to try and laundry list these beliefs.
There is a difference in telling others about your hope, if you have been asked, and trying to answer a laundry list that is only going to be fuel for negativity by...
The bible also says not to get caught up in endless arguments about genealogies, and other aspects of the bible.
It is difficult to believe God gets any enjoyment from endless arguments that detract from a life of worship. You have to accept others simply won't believe and will indeed say...
It is also assumed at least for Christians, that the meaning and purpose of God's books are foolishness to the "wise" of the world, and is only revealed to those who are truly broken.
From a secular, purely literary point of view, this would be the case in most instances.
Concerning divine...
Only answer for me can be, it is complicated.
I think for Jews, it is a life long endeavor to follow, or understand or try and implement the Torah and other books in some practical way in their lives, for the express purpose of being close to and right with their God. Unless the Jewish person is...
Have you ever considered magnetic forces act in a positive/negative manner, and other forces do as well.
As time evolved we as humans witness these events over and over and realize there is many time if not all times and ebb and flow?
The tides come in, the tides go out.
The sun appears, the...
Hi, if you don't mind I would like to probe this a bit.
If this is what most in Judaism are taught, and if I happened to be a young Jew studying such topics. I think I would be inclined to investigate in a manner similar to this.
Take for example:
I set up a group with a set of rules:
to...
Hi, as mentioned before. Part of what drives my choice is to test the benefits claimed by those that have been doing it longer. I may again eat fish or cook sweet potatoes, etc... However, for the mean time I am enjoying what I eat, make and share with friends and family. I am not on a crusade...
Never said this in bold, so please don't retort with projections.
This is wrong. The lobbying power by diary and meat industries is unmatched. The benefit of fortified food, snacks, milks etc is simply a marketing ploy. While I am sure there are limited benefits to it. The source for those added...
Nice post. In the end, that is what matters. You eat what works for you. And, unfortunately if that happens to be pizza, whom am I to say different.
You mentioned the Omega 3. I would look into the benefits of Hemp Seeds. They have a complete offering of 3 and 6.
I will be perfectly honest. I...
Let me also say this. I didn't start the thread to preach or convince anyone of anything. I personally believe it is all a person's choice, and what it right for me may not work for other people.
So, I welcome information that educates, you won't get any resistance from me, as I am not on a...
The facts are B12, is so complex the jury seems to be still out on how it is taken, absorbed, obtained, etc...
Example, yes meat has it, but when meat is cooked, it kills most if not all of the bacteria known as B12. Hence, why most b12 is said to come from eating raw meat products.
Eggs for...
And I have never said anything opposing this or absolutes, and if I did I was mistaken. In general, it can be a combination of both.
However, in the US where the majority of things are processed and trickery labeled, it is safer to say it will be healthier to eat raw.
Most people don't even...
Certified Organic, or produce that is label with a number that begins with a 9 is as pretty safe to be free from pesticides. Aside from that, we buy from local sources or grow it ourselves. If we cannot get organic, we make sure to peel the fruit or vegetable, as the skin may be suspect. Raw...
