    Why we are created, according to your beliefs?

    God VS Evil

    ~~~ Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? -Epicurus ~~~

    Spiritual Superiority

    ~~~ This is a question for everyone who feels safe and complete to her/his spiritual/religious choices: Where you ever tempted to feel spiritual superiority? It is said that the trap of spiritual arrogance is to remove you from the very thing you are arrogant about. Have you ever felt that? ~~~

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    That’s really weird, because I did that too. And guess what: many things came up! I found 2 of them really interesting: 1) From the book “Horoscopes and Public Spheres: Essays on the History of Astrology”, page 150 (presented to the link) it says that Ibn Ezra in his commentary of Num 2:2...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    How can you mention a Middle Ages’ opinion to a New Age point of view? Can’t you see that it’s an oxymoron? Also, it’s really funny that you both (you and Quagmire) prefer to focus all your time and energy to only one little reference, rather than comment on the many other examples we have...

    Astronomy & Esoteric Astrology in the Gospels?

    The Wise Men in Mt. 2:1-2 Shortly after the birth of Jesus, it is mentioned that from the east bearing gifts Wise Men visited the infant, following the star of the east. Traditionally and from further research of the NT scholars, it is considered that the Magi came from Persia. But there is a...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    The Book of Genesis is considered to be written sometime around the 6th century BC. Moses is much older than that (considered to have lived sometime during the mid 13th century BC) and, through his story, we know for a fact that the Egyptian civilization with it’s Solar Religion was already...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    Apparently you didn't notice this quote: <<…Many ancient astrologers, including Ibn Ezra [Arabic astrologer], recognised eagle symbolism as valid to this sign, since the biblical prophet Ezekiel described a vision, believed to be drawn from Babylonian astrology and representative of the ‘fixed...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    Here’s another astronomical connection with the Gospels: The flight to Egypt After the departure of the Magi (the Wise Men), Joseph saw in a dream an angel advising him to take his family and flee to Egypt because a great danger was lurking for the infant. Indeed, Joseph immediately got up...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    Here are more, from Greek sites: <<…The zodiac sign of Scorpio as we said has two symbols. Your mission then has two parts. The first is associated with the scorpion that creeps on the earth and has a tail ending in a venomous stinger. […] Second, as the eagle that flies proudly above, it is...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    I was referring to my previous post, but anyway… Fair enough. So, here are relative fragments from the sites I gave you. But, if you want more explanations, you will have to read the whole thing, in the actual sites: <<…Scorpio has not just two symbols but three: the Scorpion, the Eagle and...

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    What would qualify for you as proof of that connection? We already gave you links about it (did you see the others I posted?) and I can ask you to ask any astrologer about this to confirm what we say. If those are not enough, what is? Maybe we can provide the proof you need. .

    Astronomy & Esoteric Astrology in the Gospels?

    That's interesting! I'll look in up :) Unless one of the Jewish members can help us...? .

    We posted the same link! hahaha... :D

    Do you call yourself a 'Panentheist'?

    He is not entirely wrong. Like I said before, for a Greek Orthodox Christian “god is everywhere and within everything”. That's pretty much Pantheistic. ;)

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    It's not just Native American symbology. It is also ancient Egyptian and Babylonian (which is probably the actual origin of the connection for Ezakiel). The Eagle is the higher expression of the Scorpio. To understand that read this and this and this and I've got more if these are not enough ;) .

    The Bible and the Zodiac

    I absolutely agree with you :) Not to mention that, during ancient times, the so called “Holy Books” of each religion, served multiple purposes: spiritual, moral, social, posing laws, and -most importantly- educational. Consider this: for many ages, the children (of those who could afford...

    ...So... what do you think is the reason? What's your opinion? :) .

    . But, I think that the most important question to all this, is WHY there is such a connection... .
