Nothing the hand of man touches remains undamaged, this is simply the nature of things, but much of the truth can be found if you seek it. As for the message, it exists, but whether or not you ask the right questions to find the truth is up to you.
How hard you try to discern it requires great...
It is apparent that a lot of the people on this site await the coming of The Son of Man. When He comes we will hear what He has to say. At that point if I am wrong, I will freely admit it without offering excuses. If you are wrong will you offer the excuse that this is what you were taught and...
We are all born with free will. Man is allowed to do as he wishes, whether it's beneficial or not. We were warned about the scribes, the teachers of the law. What man does he has always done. Does the truth remain? Can it be found? Yes, but man is man. It was explained that the way had many...
You argue semantecs, even when the meaning is apparent. It's a waste of effort. If I were to call Him by any other name you would argue that as well. It seems to be your nature.
Eashoa was liberal, tolerant, and acceptant of all people, except for the scribes, pharisees, sadducees, and money lenders in the temple. With these He was stern. Yet, with Samaritans, gentiles, women, children, and the common people He displayed incredible compassion, and understanding.

I stated facts in my original statement. With scriptural statements and other information derived from study and searching. If you don't want to accept it, that's fine. It still doesn't change the evidence. You're using the basis of Paul's, and possibly Luke's, writings to affirm his status...
I don't believe it has anything to do with your assumption. I think people are trying to find the truth of the matter. What each one believes is their right. That I don't believe that Paul was an apostle, as I have written, is by preponderance of the evidence, and the weight of Eashoa's words...
Nice titles, but I doubt that a man such as Eashoa would have been impressed by them. I try to call Him by His original name out of respect. I would call Him Yeshua, but I figure that, for the most part, those who used His formal Hebrew name were trying to get Him in trouble. I believe that His...
First of all the you have quoted the man in question, Paul. Secondly, you have quoted the man, Luke, in Acts, who was Paul's follower and companion, and obviously influenced by Paul. You need to reach beyond these to prove your point. Thirdly, Paul is the only one who claims his apostleship. No...
You may call Him Jesus, but in the common language of the time, ancient Aramaic, He was known as Eashoa. Almost everyone spoke this. In the high tongue of the priests of Israel He was called Yeshua. Not everyone spoke this. I prefer Eashoa, and He called Himself, Al Bar Nasha which is translated...
All I see here is arguments. How can we learn anything by pointing fingers and deriding each other.
Solomon wrote: Eccl. 7:29 - "This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.", and its meaning is the same in all the different versions of the...
I have been reading much of what has been said so far, and it distresses me to see so much argument, and so little discussion. Some try to reason, but others seem intent on asserting their superiority. I seek to study The Way, which is what it was called in the common language, ancient Aramaic...
