Brother. That was not a response to you badger.

Okay. So your reasoning is that historically there is no reason to believe something, thus it would not have happend. Like historically there is no reason to believe Jesus was anything but a man, so you believe he was nothing but a man. Historically is there a reason to believe Jesus did...

I don't understand your point badger. But maybe you could explain. Sorry badger. I still understand your point. It maybe my fault. Not at all. I never asked anyone about the possibility of Jesus marrying. I asked why he believes Jesus was unmarried. I was asking for his sources of knowledge...

Good God. Well, though your source of salvation is wikipedia, at least you have finally after the half a dozen attempts acknowledged the "word" in contest. ;) That's not based on "classical arabic" which you have just now falsely attributed to for some reason. that's due to like you, blind...

Krauss is not a very big mouthpiece from what I understand because a lot of atheists have not spoken against him. But what I can see is that he is banking on the anti religious sentiment of his audience. But dawkins has been criticised enough and more by respectable and educated atheists...

Lol. in that case, why do you ask for evidence for something that does not "exist"? Why don't you put your mind to it a little? And you should know, this is not science. What you are posing is your own religious dogma. It's not science. Science does not speak that way. Why don't you honestly...

what's that got to do with Magdalene. I respect your post badger, but magdalene just means someone from the town called Magdalene. Also, Paul was known to be unmarried at what ever age. So the proposition that everyone has to be married at a particular age is a very elementary proposition, but...

What in the world are you talking about my friend? What does samma mean? Just clarify from your understanding. And as I told you if there was a word to word translation, this is probably great. But still, I am surprised at your response. Please tell me what Samma means in Pali.

Fascinating. I am not very well versed in Mahayana Buddhism. Only recently I learned a bit from a few kindhearted people who taught me. Thank you for this thread.

This is a very good translation. I think this is professor Buddharakkhitha's translation. That's why it sounds so good. But I don't know if it really provides the picture it's painting, but pretty good. It will still not make one understand what's actually being said. Appease does not really...

I am not sure how that reference works. But you are right, it's in Dhammapadapali, Yamakavaggo.

@Cino You know what? I didn't even realise this is a new thread you created. Fantastic. I hope there are others geeking out like you and will contribute. We were discussing the Pali language. In Pali, there are certain issues I have seen a lot of people mistakenly understand due to their...

Muhammad. How do you know that Jesus was never married within his lifetime? You may very well be right, I am just asking out of curiosity. Thanks you.

That's irrelevant and just some ad hominem. The point is, don't hide behind the word "science" and "scientific evidence". No educated and honest atheist will speak about scientific evidence for the metaphysical. It's like asking for feathers from a turtle. This is a problem with your...

Oh God. I gave you the verse several times, gave an image from the same source you gave, and you are referring to the other word. I am referring to the same verse. 3:55. You are referring to another word in the same verse. Read the full verse, not one syllable or one word. It's innee...

That could be true.

It's the wrong translation. I'd like to see how you translate it so that I can explain better.

Im sorry. I cant see what I skipped over. Apologies. Maybe you could show me what I skipped over. Nevertheless, the blunder as I said is someone rendering averen as love. It's rather nonsensical. Wait. It's just nonsensical. ;) Anyway, since you know Pali, could you give the meanings of...

I have already spoken about the same thing. You just said "it’s only settled by love: this is an eternal truth." I said Avera does not mean love. It's the wrong translation. I mean mindbogglingly wrong. Anyway, since you know Pali, could you give the meanings of Vera, Veren, and Suvera, and...

I gave you a whole list of the same word. You have completely ignored it. Maybe you wish to see it again so that you do not ignore it again. from your own source. What you should do is question why in this particular instance they have shown a different meaning. Not blind follow because it suits...
