    Historical Case for the Resurrection of Jesus

    * [27:51–53] Veil of the sanctuary…bottom: cf. Mk 15:38; Lk 23:45. Luke puts this event immediately before the death of Jesus. There were two veils in the Mosaic tabernacle on the model of which the temple was constructed, the outer one before the entrance of the Holy Place and the inner one...

    If Christ wasn't the messiah, what was he?

    Not only difficult but impossible, just as is not possible to understand the Christian Testament without Exodus. Some theologians have it that the historical man named 'Jesus' was an eschatological Jewish prophet whose original disciples(A.D. 30's) knew him only as such, and whom the...

    Do you prefer Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom for U.S. President?

    Notice the fourth - grade language he reads from a teleprompter. He can neither write nor read with any intelligence. His only concern is himself, always has been.

    Do you prefer Michelle Obama or Gavin Newsom for U.S. President?

    Which has become more apparent during the last few days abroad. As a young man he had a pronounced stuttering problem and overcame it. So yes sometimes gives him a problem. I loved how he made a campaign add from the mouth of Marjory Taylor Green...

    Could this land Trump in jail?

    As I understand it intent must be proven. Did Trump really believe he won, which I think he did, or did he acknowledge the loss and attempt to fraudulently change the vote.

    Critical Thinking, Logic, Reason & Empathy. :-)

    Deconstruction is normally followed by a hypothetical reconstruction. In your case maybe without the dogma.

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    One theology has it that Jesus was with God from creation and was the reason for the incarnation. Another has it that Jesus was an afterthought because of man's sin, for which Jesus became a scapegoat to avenge God. In this case the rabbi was referring to a literal reading of the Torah...

    That's why the wording 'in order to form a more perfect union'.... It's never a done deal.

    How can you be a True Christian™ if you don't take the Eden story literally?

    Chalk it up to free will and human nature. As for Jesus do you believe he to have been God's first thought or an afterthought. According to a rabbi friend to accept the literal only is to 'see only her outer garment', speaking of the Torah.

    Glad you enjoyed whatever you thought you saw, but there is no God of Christians, only the God of Israel.

    The trial as per the gospels vs. Jewish law

    The Gospels are not history books, but faith documents. They are penned by a sub-apostolic generation. First, the evangelists did not write the Gospels to give us "histories," as we understand the term. They were written, as the Gospel of John explains, "so that you may come to believe that...

    After a year of SCOTUS decisions, where are we?

    I think its more than 'somewhat' different. I am reminded of Justice Scalia, a devout Catholic but never let his religion define his position on the Court. The present Court seems to be in the morality business and that's not an issue for the Court.
