    The historical Paul

    What you are doing though is stripping material out of context, in this case the life of Paul, and trying to create or surmount something that isn't possible? If you know it isn't possible, why do it?

    Fact or Fiction on the Religious Forum

    So, I see this is the joke section. I thought this might be a good place to share some of the many hard hitting would be facts that are fiction circulating on the forum. Do you have any favorites?

    The historical Paul

    How does this fit into your "investigation" you claim to be doing? It is as if, you are trying desperately to paint a picture out of infantile, sloppy and loose methods. What is your goal here, to simply argue from a position of opinion?

    Raw Vegan Life

    Cold Turkey. However, I did weeks of research before I took the plunge, and I lived mostly at the health food store which sells pre-made fresh raw food at the deli. I did this as I learned how to do it at home. So it was indeed awkward in that regard, but exciting as well. I haven't really...

    Raw Vegan Life

    Fun little tidbit, for when you go grocery shopping next time. On the label of produce of fruit or whatever you are buying that is in that department, here is how to decode the PLU label: If it starts with the number 4: This item has been convetionally grown and has been treated with pesticide...

    Raw Vegan Life

    This will be more shocking, but if you are interested, see this link about Monsanto, the daddy of seed companies. Monsanto's Dark History 1901-2011 Good :) I was a regular meat eater, and shopped at any ol' store. So it was a dramatic change for me. One I was ready for, after doing enough research.

    The historical Paul

    Based on Paul's writing, we find a man that was more intellectual than anything. I am sure before his conversion, he was simply passionate about his beliefs, and role of being Jewish. I agree with what you say here. I am a bit baffled at why Outhouse is dialoging in such a manner.

    Choice Poll

    One interesting aspect to this, is even though we are often aware choices will effect our lives, it still bites us in the rear end. I personally have scratched my head asking why did I make that choice? Of course this is after time has gone on, and I can see why those choices were wrong, bad or...

    Raw Vegan Life

    Hi Sweet Marie, Maybe you have had the lovely experience of taking a nap after a Thanks Giving Dinner? I know I have :D. Well, despite popular belief that Turkey has a secret tryptophan sleepy pill in it, it really doesn't. So why do we get so sleepy? The fact is, our body is busy breaking down...

    Raw Vegan Life

    Thanks for the questions. Switching was not hard at all. I was told I would feel more alive within weeks, and I chuckled a little bit to be honest. But weeks went by, and I do recall I felt better than I had ever felt before. So much so, that when I did go back to eating meat and other stuff...

    The historical Paul

    That's a rather silly statement given what we know. Paul spends a good 25% of his writings talking about what a low life he is, and only does what he does, because Jesus interjected in his life. He in fact, talks about the thorn in his own life, that Satan uses to buffet him. Regardless of how...

    Raw Vegan Life

    Hello again, Little more about myself. I am living a life that not most are aware of, though it is becoming more mainstream these days. I eat only raw (uncooked) food. No dairy, no soy, nothing unnatural. I make my own milks out of mostly almonds, coconuts, Brazilian nuts, and a few others...

    Race - Should It Be Ignored?

    Simple. Humans are not born to like or dislike the color of skin. It is a learned horrible way of life. Humans however, are born to like or dislike sweets or sours. cummings got this one dead right.

    My thoughts exactly. Thanks for the follow up.

    Choice Poll

    Well this answer can only be subjective. However, I would be inclined to say to ourselves. As it is ourselves we must face in the mirror and ultimately affirm to the reflection that we are either the sum total of our past choices and circumstances, or that who we are has not yet been...

    The historical Paul

    Apostles? Paul didn't kill anyone directly that I know of, but was consenting to certain deaths. Mostly of the followers. Though there was one account of Stephen, and Paul most likely sanctioned that.

    The historical Paul

    I doubt it. I have spent enough time studying the Epistles and the NT in general, that the intricacies of what Paul taught had to be humbling to the other apostles. of course IMO. Even though Peter is not generally credited with writing Peter, we read. Take for example 2 Peter Ch 3 starting at...

    The historical Paul

    Maybe you can answer this for me. After I thought about this a bit. Isn't it true that in part the data we have concerning Ebionites and Nazoreans is scarce, and there is no consent that they all rejected Paul? Now, I don't mean modern day messianic Jews, but those we have records for in...
