Hi everyone, After posting a question in Judaism, I started to wonder if any of the world's major religions have a credible eyewitness account outside their own tradition. This would be some kind of record of more than one or two lines, and have no question as to authenticity. Any leads...

Hi everyone, Not to hijack this too much, are any of the "New Testament" characters mentioned in the Talmud? thanks Joe

I also like the heaver whole wheat type of bread. Do the wild starter breads have the same rise as the yeasted? Seems it takes a little more attention to making this type of bread work. I'd like to share my 33 year old copy of tassajara bread book which is quite dogeared and lovingly well...

Sorry I havn't said hello. I mostly lurk here (almost every day) don't sign in except when I feel a need to add something so missed any message. Kinda doing the wandering in the desert thing lately, but doing ok. How about yourself?

Hi, I agree it has to do with the heart. Starts with a serious inventory of one's self. Grasping for a new standard with life. Postmaster, a question if I may. Do you believe Jesus is G-d? Do you believe G-d has shown you that Jesus' "way" is the path to salvation (or whatever other state...

What, I gotta learn greek now? :rolleyes:

Hi Dream, Pardon the side track here. For -> me <- I could not tell if there was more to Thomas than just official RCC teaching. It's the warts and all that's lead me and others to scrutinize the teachings. Although there is agreement that the warts do exist, it never changes the official...

I was thinking, lets say all religions come from the same hub, like on a wheel. Is it possible to turn around and travel back towards the hub, the center of the wheel, and find common ideas of G-d and creation?

I would think there would be some "basics" to review or fellowship, for those that view things as one humanity and one Supreme. What attributes of G-d are shared throughout all religions? Maybe we can start here and view the rest of one's religion's dogma as "commentary". Is it possible?

Hi Alex Perhaps one should be looking elsewhere, different book, different religion, if all he/she has is a G-d of confusion. Why would G-d want us to be confused? Joe

Looking through the lens of New Testament scholarship, I think you've got something here.

If it quacks like a duck...... insurance is just protection money against the health care racket. That's why the gov should get involved. Maybe they will see that we're just getting the shakedown and take care of the perps.

Hi Thomas, Conspiracy? Somewhere I have read that Paul was the apostle to the gentiles. We read in acts of the meeting Paul had with the other apostles, what he argued should be required of gentiles to be part of the Christian body. As we read through Paul's letters, it's apparent that he...

Hi Blazn, Which translation, translations do you prefer?

Hi Blazn, The thing of it is, I have to reconcile what it written in my bible only. I don't have a problem with Matt 24:36 just the way it is written. I don't have to add or take away to grasp the meanings of the words that are used. Does the bible that I read have the correct words, there...

Ah, one more time. Jesus says "no one knows". nuf said, over and out.

Hi mee, Matt 24:36 "But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, But the Father alone. Why spend so much time in speculation? Jesus tells me that no one knows the time, not even himself. Why should I listen to another, when Jesus puts the issue to...

Isn't that another of those "cults" they talk about around here.

Hi, at home, linux with firefox, thunderbird and openoffice. At work xp with all the microsoft trimmings. Wil, some of the newer live disk linux distros make it alot easier to get up and running fairly quick, you ought to burn one and give it a spin.

Hi Dream, In actuality I'd suppose my comment was not really directed at the messenger but the idea contained in the commentary. Given Jesus' heritage, Lev 11:3 'Whatever divides a hoof, thus making split hoofs, and chews the cud, among the animals, that you may eat. and Lev 7:26 'You are not...
