When I was little my mom told me she thought reincarnation was the most likely scenario. My grandmother believed in ghosts and my grandfather had not believed in that kind of thing at all, until he converted to a denomination that taught annihilationism / conditional immortality. He was quite...

By this I mean I have known people who died by suicide, including some people very close to me, 😢 😢 not that I attempted.

WOKE- THE WORD THAT COULD NOT SIT STILL.

Definitely not😢 (Myself having far closer connection with occurrences suicide than with abortion, though I know my grandmother had several miscarriages and I am amazed she survived, I do not know whether emergency termination was an option for her or on the table at all--but if I knew someone...

I think Talmudic sources may have something like this.

Intriguing. Why "no"? 🤔

I was always puzzled by what this one might actually mean, as it seems to be in tension with the idea that God created the world and saw that it was good. There must be more nuance to one or both of those statements. How can one be a good Berean and be sure?

Me reading this over now a couple of months later, my take on it was that denominational identifications --which is what i think he was referring to-- @muhammad_isa can you clarify if I am wrong -- that denominational identifications at least used to matter tremendously in terms of who was...

Does the bible say any zygote, embryo, or fetus gets a soul at any time?

Well, I think there's a thought that woke is related to social justice and leftish politics. I mean by your definition of "woke Jesus" that would look just exactly like what the other, non-woke (sound asleep?sleepwalking?) side is precisely doing... Truly, nobody does seem to be able to define...

Well, hopefully we see them all. They certainly made the forum a lively place. I hope Cino is continuing to get well. I don't remember where in Europe he was located. I hope he's not directly affected by the wars but I don't know his locale at all.

Great picture!! I tried to figure out who was whom! I lost count! Some people in the picture must have more than 1 identity you mention 13 identities but I only see 10 faces assuming i counted correctly!🫨

These are interesting ideas, it sounds like every word adds up to a very literal allegory. How do you know that it means these things? I love Unity's Metaphysical Bible Dictionary, but I'm not quite sure how they know their reported symbolic and allegorical meanings of a lot of things in the bible.

Head Canon about Jesus I was not explicitly taught to think or believe anything specific about Jesus when I was little. The conclusion I came to in the absence of any catechism: HEAD CANON: I knew Jesus had lived a long time ago and was supposed to be returning very soon. I thought what had...

Did you return to high school or get a GED (what we would call a GED in the US) Or were you able to pass tests and go straight to college? It takes confidence and diligence and determination to chart your own course and develop your own educational path. Good for you.

Unity is different from the UU in the sense that Unity is more focused on matters of the spirit and UU not so much. They attract a lot of agnostics or atheists. Both attract people who are "in full flight" from negative experiences with more conservative churches. (I remember my Unity minister...

I have heard that in decades or maybe centuries past, Catholics were discouraged by the Church from reading the Bible. Is that true? 🤔

Imagine him going top speed swinging his head!!😧

My sad face :(reply because we lost RJM--do you know why he left? Is he ok? Is he coming back? I don't know if you can say. I certainly notice his absence. His and Cino's. 🫤 Also notice juantoo isn't around... they three added much.
