(Sorry, I didn't see your post until now.) I think that I agree. I have thought so and said so, but I'm not a scholar like most of these other folks. It just seems like it is very obvious to me that this was by design, so I'm willing to agree with you. There is a scripture verse that says...

Slight to Unorthodox The BBC has not commented on whether it intended to purposely slight un orthodox persons by describing a cockroach eating contest in Deerfield, FL, in which a man died from choking, as 'Unorthodox'. The suggestion appears to be that the unorthodox are cockroach eaters. It...

At the same time nobody is perfect except Jesus, and he got discouraged during his first ministry. He told a parable about what would happen after he left, that some servants would beat their fellow servants but he would find out about it and punish them. He also said many would claim to be...

The falling away, however, happened long before Constantine. Recall that the apostle Paul warned that shortly the disciples would fall away and be divided, and John said the antichrists had already appeared during his lifetime. It did not take 100 years, much less 400! If Christianity...

I think you could attribute it to Jesus prayer in chapter 17 of the gospel, John. He prays for unity for his followers, even as he and his Father are one. So he prayed for a unity of different people (many different people), universally. He and his father are different but same, and so are...

No, no, no! There is no goddess except for phyllis, you heathen. She of the flippety floppety kitty cat rebukes you.

Hi, I'm Dream. Thanks for introducing yourself. There is some basic information on Hinduism (you probably have found it already) on the main interfaith.org page. There are several members who know a little bit about it, although I don't know much myself. Feel free to post and discuss. I...

Its ok we're in the Christianity section, but when you gang up on someone you are supposed to make sure they have some money first. Then you must turn them upside down and shake thoroughly.

I was just whining.

True you did not, but you did say a true Christian must be born of the spirit. I'm saying they're the same thing, because they are so closely related as to be indistinguishable. I suppose you could pretend to take care of orphans and widows, or you could only incidentally take care of them. I...

The liberal churches teach a completely different gospel from you. There's so little overlap that I would not call you distant cousins. If your churches were to disappear theirs would be unaffected. A true Christian takes care of orphans and widows, is his brother's keeper, and anyone...

What if scripture disagrees? There is a sense throughout all of scripture that people are liars, and only God is true. I'm convinced that confessing your sins involves recognizing that on a continual basis. Since you are only a human being you can't ultimately know if you are right in the...

That was not always the case. In fact it depended upon where you lived and also in what century, but many and perhaps most Catholics did believe at one time that Lutherans and some other groups were definitely going to hell. Usually the feeling was mutual. Once a 'Christian' has cut off all...

Hi, not Jewish but was pentecostal for a long time. This is many claims in a single breath. How do you know it was dreamt up? How do you know it was by 'Those in power' to 'Keep humanity in their place?' What place? Additionally, what lies are you referring to, and why did you say 'Full'...

Was Theosophy the first Neo-Paganism? It seems to predate the Neo Paganism movement, and I've already met two Theosophists who were part of the early Neo Pagan movement. One was a member of this board for a while. My first encounters with Neo Paganism were some girls in high school and...

New developments in 3D printing: BBC News - US army builds its own 3D printer A universal production unit is doubtless the appliance of the future. I wonder if I will buy a Maytag or a Whirlpool? You know what I could go for is a machine that makes custom clothes. Then instead of buying...

The air is beyond our control, but we rely upon it and we change it. I never know what aspect of my comments you are going to respond to or whether you will respond at all. I've no control of the conversation, and therefore it seems real to me. I remember when there was smoking in public...

I know what you mean, but I will tell you a secret. To do it right all you need is love, not lye. The love makes it real, so love is the true lye, the ink the real dye. When you are afraid someone might steal it, then its real. I'm sad because I haven't seen certain members around here, lately...

Help, my money was in my sock and it got all sweaty!!! I can't spend this money. It would be too embarrassing. Perhaps if there were someone to launder it for me?
