    Sometimes I realize I am speaking an alternate language to myself. I wish I understood it.

    Keep the sabbath holy

    Namaste is a word in the Hindi language. It is not a religious term unique to Hinduism. Hindi is not Hindu. Jesus is derived from Ἰησοῦς which is a Greek approximation of the Aramaic ישוע This is probably pronounced eeso, although it is debatable how closely the no longer spoken Galilean...

    What music are you listening to?

    Great rendition of the great Johnny Cash song Includes a battle of the basses :) Avi's two octave drop is countered by Tim's sustained - OMG! - is that a G1 ??? The song itself is only two and a half minutes. :(

    @A Cup Of Tea Attention: History Lessons The ‘he’ of Daniel 11:45 was Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Daniel 11 3 Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of...

    Keep the sabbath holy

    @2ndpillar I missed responding to a point in your previous post. Yes, Daniel 11 and Daniel 12 are a continuous narrative. Daniel 11 ends with: Daniel 11: 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help...

    Keep the sabbath holy

    Oops, I missed responding to that. The story of Lazarus and the rich man incorporates the worldview of the Book of the Watchers, the first and oldest part of 1 Enoch. The influence of 1 Enoch can be seen here and there in some Rabbinic writings speculating about the nature of the afterlife. What...

    Keep the sabbath holy

    In 4th century Rome a caesar was not a king, merely an heir apparent to an Emperor. The title Caesar stopped being used by Emperors in the mid 2nd century. By the 3rd century it had become common practice to name one’s successor with the title caesar. But this title carried no authority in...

    That is incorrect. As I previously stated, Constantine defeated Licinius. But Licinius had first defeated Daia. Constantine did not defeat Severus. The Emperor Severus died of an illness in 211 CE. Constantine was born in 272 CE. Instead of trying to reinvent history to support your otherwise...

    Superfruit is Scott Hoving and Mitch Grassi, both from Pentatonix, having fun. They both have amazing voices and incredible ranges. In case you don't know, Mitch is the one with the ultra high end. If you do not know the song - and where have you been - it is from the play Wicked.

    Keep the sabbath holy

    And predictably you are ignoring Matthew 19:16 which disproves your claim and simply repeating your claim in bold large font letters. Matthew 19 NASB 16 And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do so that I may obtain eternal life?” 17 And He said to him, “Why are you...

    Keep the sabbath holy

    Since Mathew 19:16 refers explicitly to eternal life, your understanding of Matthew 19:17 as not referring to eternal life is clearly wrong. Matthew 19:16-17 And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” And he said to him, “Why do you ask...

    Wyatt Earp on ABC? Dobie Gillis was on CBS. And your third channel was presumably NBC. In NYC we had a whopping 7 channels on VHF and might get as many as 3 on UHF depending on weather. Those were the days when TV programs usually had 39 episodes a season, unless there were scheduled...

    Mary Ann was always my favorite as well and it saddens me that she is no longer with us. Some more info about Dawn Wells: https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/30/entertainment/dawn-wells-obit/index.html To date myself, I watched Bob Denver (Gilligan) in his Maynard G. Krebs persona in the Many Loves of...

    The Baha'i Calendar

    The concept of Leap Years was known from antiquity, not surprising since the main occupation of mankind was agriculture. The Roman calendar incorporated Leap Years, Having an extra day every four years, since an estimated 700 BCE. The beginning of a year was originally the Winter Solstice. When...
