I think you are really asking again but without realising, which is the most relevant denomination. The answer again is always personal. So what Jesus will look like on any return will be personal perhaps? If you want an objective answer then there simply is none. Something that does intrigue...

I think someone has been learning new words. ;D If your question is which denomination has it most correct then there is no answer. If you are asking which authority is best used for the exploration of scripture my only answer will be your own. Of course if someone is honest in their approach to...

I see it as a perfectly feasible idea. How would it concern itself with disparities within Luke but especially John after? I see many small groups with different ideas in the Early Church. The Gospels were for different churches were they? If one church wished to use their own tradition and...

We should never fear needlesly. Unfortunately there is so much in man that we need fear.

Certainly issues will tend to have more than one solution. Perhaps though it is a case of major explanations accompanied by minor reasons in addition. For example what else may have marked the oak as special for some cultures?

In all seriousness the gender control issue is likely a myth. There is no gender monopoly on compassion. I just thought I'd say that.

If you have a special interest in the Roman Empire then what are your own ideas on why the Roman Empire collapsed?

It would be wonderful if we knew more about the connection here between Egypt under Akhenaten and the Holy Land. Are there any specific references I can use to look at this more closely for my own personal study?

You are ineed lucky to have all those ancient ruins over there in Britain. I will use your link to eye some places for when I fly over the pond to visit one day. :)

A very sweet plus I'm sure!

I do not believe the meaning has ever been able to reach beyond the personal and self-perception. We see our own place and extrapolate from that to all other beings. It is easier that way though not necessarily proper.

Absolutely not! I would not believe it possible that anyone could be so unfeeling to their fellow human being, let alone the little children! Yet it happens! A blight indeed.

Re:The Two Commandments Hello Polycarp and thanks for the link. Are you related to the other person of that name? ;) There was a little trouble as there is an extra apostrophe in the URL but I soon took it out. It is a shame there wasn't much more to read on as Barnabas has an intriguing...

I really would like to find out more about Eastern Thought in general. They have such a fascinating perception of the world that is so different from our systems in the West. I am going to follow your links now.

I do not think I can imagine Mr Spock speaking the Desiderata without making the work seem a little parodied.

I did not mean for that to sound like an endorsement. I was being good humoured and stating the obvious. :)

You are in a cynical mood Brian?

The soul is our essence of being. The body is the shell that holds it. Our personality is like clothing but not the actual essence itself.

Yes I think this was mentioned on another part opf the board. I am sure that Brian will fix it soon. :)
