You could be right to think so. Myself, I am fun of metaphorical language. It helps eliminate contradictions. But if you are thinking that Elijah did all that killing himself, probably not. Perhaps not even a single one was done by him, personally, but by those under his authority. And then...

Eunuchs are not by definition homosexuals. Many of them even had normal sex. They just could not produce children. Babylonian, Persian and Roman kings would castrate some intelligent youngmen to make them eligible to serve in Court. Probably, Daniel and his three young friends were eunuchs...

Does it mean you believe that homosexuals are born so? If that's so, were the guys who wrote the Bible morons? Ben

Well, believe it or not, that's what I thought at first. Perhaps he could have even been paid by some religious organization to lie. But we never know for sure what goes on in the hearts of men. Ben

You didn't answer my question. Many homosexuals justify their choice by saying that they were born so. A former long lived homosexual man declares that none is born a homosexual, but becomes one as a result of psychologial insecurities or just for being morally too loose. What is what if the...

Hey Radarmark, you didn't have to get God into this. He has nothing to do with whatever we choose to do, as long as we are aware of the law of cause and effect. He granted us the attribute of free will. So, whatever we do with it, that's up to us. If there is any commandment pro or against...

JESUS AND EINSTEIN ON THE EXPANSION OF THE UNIVERSE Dear Ben, Q. - According to Torah in Genesis 2:3, after the six days of Creation, God blessed the Seventh Day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work He had done in Creation. But in John 5:17 Jesus declared that God has...

ATTACKS OF DIZZINESS Dear Ben, Q. Since I passed my 70th birthday, I have had attacks of dizziness, especially when I look upward. Am I in danger of having a stroke? A. Attacks of dizziness, as one gets older, can be due to a number of reasons, including high or low blood pressure, low...

I am sorry, but you are not thinking. Why? Because you set up the traditions as high as the Scriptures and ask me why my views about homosexuality and the Arab-Israeli conflict are so neanderthal. What is the Biblical tradition about homosexuality? What is the Biblical tradition about...

Hey Will, all I did was to share with the posters here the testimony of a former homosexual man, who had been all his life attracted to those of his kind. Why, instead of criticizing me, you don't tell me what triggered his hormones to, all of a sudden, be now attracted to women, so much so as...

Why bollocks? Does it mean you don't agree with the testimony of this former homosexual man? Why would he demoralize the whole gay community by speaking thus in public? They said that the interview has been recorded in CD, and that we could find it in any public library. Ben

You could be totally right if we were talking about the Greek gods of Mythology. As we were naturally granted with Intellect and the attribute of free will, it would be to act like a man to interfere with the businesses of man. We have created our own laws to live according to the laws and this...

Nice theme for a Bible lesson, Arthra. It was very salutary to read it. Now, with regards to Elijah and the 850 prophets of Baal and Asherah, you have mentioned above that it was he against the whole bunch. Needless to ask, IMHO, Elijah did not himself do the killing. He had some of his people...

Well, Elijah was acting according to Torah law. The apostates were on the verge of causing a civil war. I guess Elijah was on the right place at the right time and acted as the extraordinary man for the sake of future generations. Ben

I can't believe we have agreed on something. I wonder how long will that feeling last. Ben

We have indeed learned from history, mind you. That's how Joshua earned for us this land; by acting militaristically in the Spirit of the Lord. That's how we have Jerusalem today, because David acted militaristically in the Spirit of the Lord. That's how Judaism was saved at the time of Greek...

Obviously, you have never read the book of Esther. Ben

What do you mean by "ethnic cleansing," trying to blame Israel for something? Before you do, open your TV and listen to the news. Israel is rescuing refugees escaping from Syria's civil war. We are rescuing our own enemies in their predicament. This is like blazing coal on the head of...

I take literalness as the method to interpret a text based on what one sees. Some thing like saying that 7 is found twice within 77. The inability to see beyond the eyes of the flesh. Ben
