At a church!!! They were preaching at a Jewish synagogue in Antioch. They were the Jews along with the women who expelled Paul and Barnabas out of the town. Perhaps they would not have been chased out if it was a church, considering how Hellenistic the Church is. (Acts 13:50) Ben

The problem is aggravated by the fact that Paul was raised as a Hellenistic Jew whose morality had been too loose, as it was common among the Hellenists. When he found out in the Law that homosexuality was sinful, to use his own words, "the commandment that should have led to life brough me...

Good question which demands a good answer. Yes, he was channeling Daniel during a vision of his. He was aware of Numbers 12:6, where we have that, "Should there be a prophet among you, in vision will I reveal Myself to him, in dreams will I speak to him." So, he spoke of Daniel during his...

Magnific, Amergin! I got more than impressed at reading your research above. And I thank you for reminding us that the Historian who wrote the book of Daniel was also called Daniel, as we agree with and I missed to have mentioned in the thread. However, there is something which I don't agree...

You can keep your favorites, including Daniel, because there is nothing in the thread implying that he was not real. And he was a prophet too in the first part of his life. The point is that his book was written by a Historian in the Hasmonian period and not by himself. Ben

Can they explain the Primal Mover in their philosophical aspirations? I don't think so. That's what I meant. Regarding my awareness of God, yes, but on the basis of the concept of probability, as I am not 100% sure about anything. When the David in 14:1 refers to as possessed with a...

So, what does Mythology has anything to do with the issue of this thread? Ben

AN INSULT TO THE LADIES When Paul was in Antioch, at the invitation of Barnabas, both of them took upon themselves to preach against women by advising single men to remain as they were, free of women. (I Cor. 7:8) Now, imagine this gospel being preached by two bachelors in a Jewish synagogue...

WHERE IS DANIEL? WHERE IS HIS BOOK? Yes, if Daniel was a prophet, where is he? Why is he not among the Prophets? We all are so fun of his book; why is it not one of the prophetic books in the Tanach? Dear fellow posters, if you haven't noticed, neither is Daniel accounted as one of the...

Wow! Do you mean what you say? I mean, do you agree that Christianity came out of the mind of Paul or you are somehow just testing me? The Hellenists who wrote the gospels were former disciples of Paul's. Whatever they said was according to their master. Ben

Yes, Malku, even if you find my reply too childish, I'll venture to let it go: God. Not the literal god of anthropomorphic interpretations, but the Spiritual God that we cannot conceive through our senses, but that, somehow, we are aware of. The Primal Mover of the Phisolophers. Ben

THE SCOURGING THAT WAS NOT ASKED FOR The Gospels paint the Jews so cruel as to have asked Pilate to crucify Jesus; and Pilate so good as to run out of arguments to save Jesus from the cross by claiming that he had found no fault in him. (John 18:38) But then comes the strike that broke the...

In the vaccum, you mean? Space is the distance between matter and matter. Ben

The beginning of time is in the inertia of matter; and the end, whenever matter stops moving; as matter is subject to genesis and destruction; or, for that matter, transformation. Ben

Sorry Radarmark, but you did not present a situation about the existence of time and space independently of matter. Even for the vaccum, which you include energy, was not a good point. Energy in the vaccum, which I am aware of, as a result of the production of photons in an X-Ray tube, does...

THE ISSUE ABOUT TIME AND SPACE Nothing existed before something started to exist. BTW, time and space do not exist. They are accidents of matter. Space is the distance between matter and matter. Considering that matter was created, there was no space before matter. Where there is no matter...

Sorry Showme, but this time you have juggled with mere words that could mean a lot and ended up meaning nothing. Try again next time. You might have something to say somewhere somehow. Ben
