    Victim souls

    I imagine that philosophy would be considered an obscene justification of child abuse by those who suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church ... so the suffering inflicted on them was for their own good?!

    Are you Abrahamic?

    Just sharing observations if ok Abraham did not follow the religion of his forefathers Jos 24:2 And Joshua said unto all the people: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Your fathers dwelt of old time beyond the River, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor; and they...

    Proof for the existence of the Abrahamic god?

    I don't know what scientific evidence or mathematical formula can be used to prove that love, truth and justice exist, yet they do exist. When you can disprove them scientifically, you can disprove the Abrahamic God, since He is love, truth and justice. BTW, what scientific proof is there of...

    Do you believe Moses parted the Red Sea?

    Yes, why not ... IMHO the entire exodus event seemed to involve seismic & volcanic activity ... including a darkness you could feel, red water (when waterways heat up here during heat waves, they suffer poison algae blooms), stinky dead fish, fire raining down burning the crops, seeing fire by...

    Finding Jots and Tittles in the Bible

    Jesus was a Jew. There were a few sects in Judaism then and now. Pharisees followed written scripture + an oral tradition/law (Talmud). Pharisees became Orthodox Judaism. Sadducees rejected the oral law and so did a few other sects. Modern Karaite Jews also reject an oral law. Jots and tittles...

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    I appreciate your thoughts about this, but there have been multiple seats of Moses unearthed so far eg Chorazin (basalt in good condition) Hammoth Tiberias (limestone deteriorating) En_Gedi (also mentioned in magazine 'Archaeology in Israel' piece by Jacqueline Schaalje) & diaspora synagogues...

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    I'm glad you don't say that nibbling grain is work. The issue of any possible caveat was raised by Tumah, who claimed there is a caveat against picking and nibbling grain on sabbath. I responded there is no such caveat in scripture The only caveat specified in scripture about refraining from...

    It's Sunday night here & I have a full work week coming so I may not be around for a bit. Thank you Disciple for an excellent topic and thank you all for enlightening discussion. Blessings

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    I really I am truly sorry Levite. I'll try again ... and maybe it will be ok to copy the last paragraph to ensure it shows up Chorazin "Renewed excavations within the later synagogue, as well as new excavations within the town, were undertaken by Z. Yeivin in 1962–64 and 1980–87. Based on...

    Apologies for not specifying place in reference ... it's 3rd last sentence 4 lines before the bibliography

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    From Jewish virtual library link in response to Levite "A stone chair found inside the synagogue may be a "seat (cathedra) of Moses" such as is mentioned in Matthew 23:2, but there have been dissenting views about their function (Rahmani 1990)" People may argue over the function, so it can't be...

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    I simply shared dictionary standardized definitions of work. I didn't write any dictionaries. The dictionary definition of 'work' being an activity for a purpose doesn't include natural body functions which don't require deliberate thought or effort. Breathing can usually be done by most people...

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    Thank you for doing a Google search in the spirit of open-mindedness. I'm sorry everything you found were Christian websites. A well-researched site you may like is the Jewish virtual library which discusses it. How Jews or Christians choose to explain the physical seat of Moses relies on their...

    Here is a link to images of some of the actual common physical seats of Moses, but a web search will show you many more http://www.discerningtheworld.com/images/wpi/chorazin_seat-of-moses_fjenkins033106_83t.jpg...

    Understanding More About God of Israel.

    Dear BilliardsBall, I appreciate the plunge and cost and also appreciate it is so worthwhile. Well done. I think this may be the woman at the well section you were considering. The woman knew Messiah was coming. Jesus admitted to being him ... Messiah is not God Himself but a human anointed by...

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    No that verse does not equate eating with harvesting (otherwise people could not have eaten quail since they didn't harvest them), but simply says that fresh produce may be harvested that year and consumed, while other verses clarify that non-harvested produce may be consumed other years: I'm...

    Was Jesus anti-Pharasaic?

    apologies for delay responding. The dictionary definition of 'work' in English-speaking languages, is to 'perform an activity for a purpose'. Common activities (for a purpose) of daily life include eating, hygiene, dressing, toileting etc. The purpose of 'eating' is to relieve hunger (or the...
