    The End of Abraham

    The Hindus on the Sword of Truth were citing Sanskrit words and Hindu religious concepts that Muslim Arabic has incorporated which is not easily molded to a specific nationalistic propaganda agenda. For instance if "Arabia" does not mean "Land of Horses" in Sanskrit then there's reason to...

    The question of Israel

    Bananabrain, I know all about ben Pantera being much earlier than Jesus Christ of the Gospels. It's additional evidence that Yeishu ben Pantera and Jesus Christ are linked because the time differential gives time for oral legends of Yeishu to expand and magnify with supernatural mythology as...

    The question of Israel

    I was a cancer patient and I'm not a young man but 65 years of age. Your post reminds of some of the nastiest anonymous comments I've ever received when I posted my anti-Zionist views on a local blog in my community. There some Jewish anons wished me to die of cancer but I guess God is with me...

    The question of Israel

    Avi, why are you trying to assassinate my character? Show proof of hatred of Jews in anything I've posted. You do not seem to know the difference between dislike of theologies or ideologies and hatred of people. Until you can show evidence of hatred what you are doing is lying about another...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    The Dalai Lama is touted as THE living Buddha and one must suppose after a childhood and life of Buddhist contemplation that he would have better sense about obvious conflict of interest between Communist "peaceful" annexation of Tibet and Tibet Buddhism vs. Communist ideology with its...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    Never read Dan Brown. How does one "believe" in the Bible? The Bible is the product of men and since all human beings are fallible creatures what men produce is not perfect so I save my "belief" in the Spirit which is true. The Bible for us Gnostic Christians is not an idol as it is to most...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    Thomas, where would one begin in citing all the pagan references in the Old and New Testament.. Let's start with Adam and Eve, characters and story borrowed from Sumerian and Babylonian mythologies. Noah and the Flood? Revised Epic of Gilgamesh flood story by Hebrew authors. Abraham and Sarah...

    Race/Ethnicity

    I was raised in a more or less religiously neutral family as my father at the time was rebelling from his very fundamentalist Christian family and my mother was an atheist. I did get doses of Christianity when my missionary aunt came to visit, she being one of those incredibly brave First...

    The Holy Name of God

    "I asked you about impact of those Holy clashes in our world? As you believe in Human common understandings so think it is not imaginable to human mind that a family is LIVING without clashes. If God would say sun to rise from east, wife will say sun not to rise. And we see, the world is in its...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    Jesus tells you how. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Yes, there are a lot of contenders for spiritual authority in our times, just like there were a lot of prophets running around in Jesus' time or so history records. In our times, one has to seriously wonder if Paul was a false prophet...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    Tell that to the Jews and Muslims and any university level professor of comparative religions and see what they tell you. Read sometime the attributes of Mithra and see Jesus Christ's ancient predecessor. If you tried to cut out all the pagan religious concepts from both the Old and New...

    God's Plan

    When Jehovah's witnesses start healing the lame and raising the dead I will believe you but I think you're not seriously thinking about what Jesus told of the future of those who followed him. And also, when Jehovah's Witnesses know the origin of Yahweh I will give them credit for spiritual...

    The End of Abraham

    Blue Moon You saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own Blue Moon You know just what I was there for You heard me saying a prayer for Someone I really could care for And then there suddenly appeared before me The only one my arms will hold I heard somebody...

    God's Plan

    Boy oh boy, am I glad I do not follow Paul but Jesus! No Christian who believes Paul's gospel over Jesus' teachings will ever understand what Jesus was trying to teach us. God's Plan as revealed by Jesus is now available in plain language. The Gospel of Humanity explains what Jesus could not in...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    "But everybody knows that! We have 'The Fourfold Sense of Scripture': Literal, typological, analogical, anagogical. It's no secret, really. The Jews were there before us, too." --So what's the problem with a Gnostic Christian interpretation? "All truth is one, so it's hardly surprising that...

    One Way: the reason why Christian ecumenicalism is impossible

    I'd want you to judge Christianity on the acts of Christians; "by their fruits ye shall know them" is such great wisdom because it cuts through all the verbal b.s. and gets right to the heart of spiritual teachings--the talk means nothing without the walk. If the Dalai Lama as an enlightened...

    The question of Israel

    Thank you, Brian, for at least showing some objectivity about my beliefs although being me, I do have to question your remark, "dictatorial self-promotion" referring to me. We have gone round and round about "proselytizing" and one of these days you will get it that while I do make what seem to...

    The question of Israel

    Avi, are you Jewish? It is my experience that if anyone hates what I believe and express in public forums about Israel it is Jewish people who are the first ones to try to shut me up. Anti-Zionists are branded as Nazis and worse yet what we are are people who are standing up for native people's...

    Why do Christians use the cross?

    "The Mithra cross. The cross was developed by Mithraism centuries before Jesus Christ was born. The Mithraic festival in celebration of Mithra's birth was held on December 25, the recognized date of Jesus' birth. Long before Christmas was celebrated, December 25th in the Roman world was the...
