Ramsey Lewis "The In Crowd"

Thanks. I'm a newcomer, although I was co-threading with Flowperson at one brief interval. For a little while I thought you had moved on, Wil. I heard you were globe trotting. Where did you go? How was the trip? Did you visit Thomas on English Muffin lane? Drop in on Nick? Wrestle with...

It says I need the latest version of Flashplayer which I may download from Macromedia.

I actually read this book many years ago. I'm not usually one to pick up books at random but I did. I enjoyed it, but I was quite confused at the end. I enjoyed all the parts about him living on the raft with the wild animals. Perhaps I should go see the movie.

Yay! Green Tea is my hero!

From that Kiddish, Christians obtain a similar rite. Bread and wine are consumed, bowing is performed and there is a lamb. The Bowing is respect, understanding, patience for others. The Bread is shared life. The wine is common blood. The lamb represents peaceful coexistence. Roughly...

Jews don't believe in that. Some of their heretics did, as mentioned by 'Exile'. Eating the sacrifice is required in Jewish sacrifices, some must be eaten by the Levites and sometimes by the participants in the offering. The laws state who is to eat the meat and how, but it is always to be...

Sacrifices must be eaten, and anything left over must be burned up. If they sacrificed humans, they'd have to eat them. Its a cheat, because he gets resurrected. Similarly the Nazarite does some time in service to the LORD and then gets to go back to their regular life.

Its not an idea so much as a way of life, and it does not involved eating humans. The assumption threaded throughout is that 'because the Mayans, Egyptians and some Sumerians did it', that it means its part of Jewish practice right up through the time of Jesus. Jews are a bifurcation in...

Oh, here's a good one. Ok, there are these 'Palestinians' right, and they like to launch missiles at people they've never met, see; but they are not slaughtered for it. Hmmm. Why is that I wonder? Maybe they taste too much like bacon.

Dumping assumptions into the Christianity forum won't make them verifiable. This is like the work of an eight year old. Its got no insights into what Jews actually did. You say you understand the Bible, but you stop at only the first time the LORD relents. Didn't read the rest? Not...

Making things up again. No sources, asking other people to do your research for you. Asking questions about made up histories that don't even matter, then also not accepting answers. To begin there are no answers to questions about things made up in one's head. Its not other people's jobs to...

I just try to spell it with deference to whomever I'm typing to. For most people I type 'God'. For others I use 'G-d' or 'G!d' whatever they prefer. I make no claim to understand it, so there's no particular way for me to spell it. I like to think of the 'G-d' spelling as a way of saying...

Yes, one or two told me that they "Have the truth." Not everybody believed that. Most believed that they had something good but that they could be a tiny bit wrong. Yes some people stay for their family I think, but where I visited I did not sense control. I believe it would depend upon who...

EJK, I can see you're going to draw me out by not responding and talking like you know something about Christadelphians. Thing is, you don't know all that much about them. I was a lifelong charismatic, who then became a Baptist; but still I was not happy with my understanding of the gospel. I...

I learned that in my seventh grade Abeka course. You say you didn't learn that until secondary school?

That is very significant if true, because the Borgias are something I've heard about multiple times from people saying that they were 'Evil' and murderous. Its a serious smear on RC, very effective. That does not mean I'm very knowledgeable about the last 251 popes or their campaigns, but the...
