    The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

    Re Russia. Would you prefer a nation run by an "incompetent" monarch or a highly competent and ruthless Bolshevik/Communist state? What incompetent monarch HAS THE POWER controlled by Communists? In an old fashioned kingdom you had the power shared by the church, merchants, nobility, army and...

    The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

    The bottom line is though, having grandsons of Victoria on various thrones of Europe made it so much harder for those nations to go to war. And had Russia kept its monarchy we would have had a vastly different outcome since 1917. There's more tied up with monarchy than just rule - as was...

    The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

    Nontheless, I doubt Europe would have suffered the calamities it did had it not abolished monarchies. And catagorically, had USA remained in the Commonwealth there would not be the massive slave trade to the southern states, the Civil War or World War 1 and 2.

    The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

    Queen Victoria's son Edward VII was king with German background. So too was Queen Victoria, the monarch called the 'grandmother of Europe' - so long as these monarchs ruled there would be fewer wars in Europe. Kaiser was the grandson of Victoria,

    The Coronation of Christian King Charles III

    Yeah, Spain, France, Germany, Russia and China all abolished their monarchies. The result from Spain was civil war; the result from France was violent revolution and the rise of Napoleon; the result for Germany was the Kaiser and Hitler and two 'world wars', the result for Russia was Bolsheviks...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    Thanks. Looks like this dodges one of the most interesting parts - the West Bank.

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    So maybe you can tell us - if we get a hire car, can we drive from Galilee (or further north) down through the Jordan Valley to the Gulf of Aquaba?

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    Quote - " get falafel from Moshikos on Ben Yehuda street in Jerusalem" I'll do that. Going to spend two or three days in Jerusalem.

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    Now, two points. You CAN be 'part Jewish' - in my case it was my great great grandfather who has his name chiseled on to synagogue wall. The 'part' is biological part, not a religious part. Half the Cohens in the world are 'part Jewish' in that they have 'haplotype DNA' that takes them back to...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    So if the Jews are right (I am part Jewish) and Christians are wrong, why haven't the Jews been able to worship in this temple?

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    Under the law of Moses there are various sacrifices ordained. Are there Jews (and I am part Jew too) still performing these?

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    The latter portion of your reply is true - there's the sacrifice given by God to the Jews. Now, why aren't the Jews performing this sacrifice now?

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    It's interesting that Zechariah tells us the Jews will see the one whom they pierced, and understand this. This figured died an excruciating painful death as Isaiah and David mention. And of course, Daniel's account of the Messiah being 'cut off' by the enemy who destroys Israel also points to...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    This is disengenuous. Christians believe that Jesus is this Messiah, that he lived a perfect life and was the 'Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." We hold that the crushing, the sweat, the blood, the piercing was the process of his final sacrifice.

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    .... ignoring actual words ... he took up our pain and bore our suffering, .... he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. .... the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    Yes, he's 'cut off' from the land of the living, and made his grave with the wicked. But he will live again and be pleased for what he has accomplished. You don't have to explain away one word, but whole themes.

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    Evidence?

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    A common tactic in religious discussions is to settle upon ONE DEFINITION of a word, one which is convenient to the argument. (ie virgin for Mary, pierced for Jesus etc..) And this serves to put the discussion OUT OF REACH of mere plebs who haven't 'studied' the language (ie Bart Erhman) But the...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    I am in the land of the living, and I won't be in Israel till September - my first visit there. And grave usually means a hole in the ground, or a tomb. And 'cut off' is the same term found in Daniel - this same mysterious figure who died for his people, killed by the people who destroyed the...

    Isaiah 53 and Human Sin

    he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression[a] and judgment he was taken away. Yet who of his generation protested? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was...
