    The importance of Judas the Iscariot

    Yes, that is correct. But what’s your point on that? Please elaborate! I totally and completely agree with you, but I think that this is another story for another thread :) ~~~

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    I’m sorry to spoil it for you dear, but you are still a Sagittarius and you have every right to be proud about it. Ophiuhus was a very much well known constellation since ancient times and was not included in the zodiac for good reasons. The last 10 years or so it has been a trend that the...

    Judaism's connection with Astronomy/logy?

    Yes. And also that connect the 12 tribes with the 12 constellations. But, I have found two different references: Reuben = Aquarius or Cancer Simeon and Levi = Pisces or Leo Judah = Leo or Aries Zebulun = Capricorn and Gemini Isaachar = Cancer or Taurus Dan = Scorpio or Capricorn Gad =...

    Judaism's connection with Astronomy/logy?

    Thanks for that, it's really helpful! :)

    Judaism's connection with Astronomy/logy?

    I'm more interested in Astronomy. Astronomy and Astrology where one and the same until about 100-200 years ago, but I’m not interested in the fortune telling part of this science. My interest in Astrology is only around Esoteric Astrology, which has absolutely nothing to do with fortune...

    Judaism's connection with Astronomy/logy?

    That’s the Jewish cannon, right? Which books of the Tanakh have been included to the OT? What do you mean? Isn’t there something like a “common teaching”? Like, for example, the official opinion in Christianity is that there is no connection. There are of course people who think otherwise...

    Judaism's connection with Astronomy/logy?

    ~~~ Hello everyone! I have a question about Judaism, and I’d love your answers: Some parts in the OT are considered to be connected with Astronomy/logy. Is that true? Does Judaism accept this connection? ~~~

    The importance of Judas the Iscariot

    Who else would? And also, even if there was someone else, wheren’t we having this same conversation for the other guy too? Did you notice the part where the devil enters him? It does make sense, but it’s a little too much, don’t you think? After all: Jesus was a Jew too and so where all his...

    How do you prefer eating your fruit?

    ~~~ Laika and Wu Wei, thank you for your votes :) …I’m trying to picture that… Help me out: is the fruit whole or cut? :D Wow! You slice in half the grapefruit… and then? Use spoon? ~~~

    How do you prefer eating your fruit?

    ~~~ Me and my hubby are having a debate on how people prefer eating their fruit (stop laughing! It’s a real debate!) We both agree that most (if not all) people will not slice or cut before eating them fruits like bananas, grapes, cherries and all fruit that are already in bite-size. The...

    The importance of Judas the Iscariot

    Thank you :) I was following the BLB Strong’s Lexicon ( https://www.blueletterbible.org/lang/Lexicon/Lexicon.cfm?strongs=G2455&t=KJV ) Interesting connection! But, what about the suicide of Judas? ~~~ So, you would agree that Judas should not be hated? ~~~

    The importance of Judas the Iscariot

    ~~~ According to many, the role of Judas was very important. Judas -which literally means "glorious"- it was he who helped Jesus complete his work. The work of Jesus was prearranged to be completed in a specific way: to be betrayed and crucified, in order to resurrect. But who would betray him...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    Here is another connection: The betrayal of Judas In ancient Egypt, the Scorpio constellation was associated with the mythological scorpion that killed Horus, and the one that killed Osiris. In ancient Greece it was associated with the scorpion that was sent to kill Orion and finally killed...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    How about: it’s time we agree that we disagree? This conversation is pointless and I still don’t like your attitude. If there is anything else in the other examples presented that you like to comment on, besides the Scorpio-Eagle connection, I’m willing to talk about it. …Oh wait! There is...

    God VS Evil

    Who is?

    Spiritual Superiority

    Is knowledge and wisdom the same thing? Can a "non-initiate" or just a simple person be wise? Can a person with deep knowledge not be wise?

    God VS Evil

    So... we are the evil? If so, wasn't God that created us?

    God VS Evil

    Then, how?

    God VS Evil

    ~~~ 0ne-answer, I saw the whole video. It was really artistic and well presented, but: 1) It does not answer the question about why we are created 2) I totally disagree with what he said about the Qur’an (being perfect, with out contradictions etc). ~~~

    Spiritual Superiority

    Just for the sake of argument: "faulty" according to who? You? .
