What is your definition of Judeo-Christians? Judeo-Christian tradition is often spoken of, but worded that way it sounds like you are talking about people or practitioners of faith... few people today would be described as Judeo-Christians, nor any that I can think of - maybe the early Jewish...

This thing is amazing. Is it indeed ancient and authentic? By that I mean not anything like a modern extrapolation or anything (I know now there is no way of determining exact authors oftentimes, esp of ancient txts, and definitely know way to know if something is "inspired" or even to define...

I made ground beef with some seasoning, an a dab of tomato sauce and beef broth and a little sprinkling of cheese and diced vegetables to make it not quite a stew, more like the filling of a cheeseburger pie before you put it in the pie. And then some carrots and snap peas, and corn on the cob...

Apparently quite a few Prime Ministers of Japan have been Christian, including the recently resigned Prime Minister - even though Christianity is in the extreme minority in Japan. https://suburbanbanshee.wordpress.com/2024/10/01/new-japanese-prime-minister-is-protestant/...

The Independent God believers?

The fact of different epithets is very interesting. In that, there is a kind of similarity there with the G-d of Abraham, who has various names like El Shaddai, El-Elyon, I think there is a Jewish tradition of 72 names of G-d and an Islamic tradition of 99 names of Allah. I was also sort-of...

My husband made roast chicken, gravy, biscuits, baby potatoes, and sauteed brussel's sprouts. He had also made a cucumber and tomato salad. I made the corn on the cob - put it to boil right as we were eating our salad, as we almost forgot!

This is an interesting blog with many interesting entries. https://thomasjayoord.com/index.php/blog/archives/eleven-ways-to-rethink-religion-in-light-of-science I like the eleven points he makes here. I especially like the first three assertions. I find the fourth item confusing. What does...

https://www.thevintagenews.com/2020/05/17/jesus-japan/ I happened across this interesting item. I had never heard of this before. I know Christianity has existed in Japan for a long time as an embattled minority. I was not aware of this heterodox interpretation of things.

I know early Christians held slaves, but the church itself held a population of slaves?

I see. I confused the use of the word "annihilation" with the annihilationist doctrine of soteriology.

Are the spirit and soul the same or different, and how clear cut is the difference if there is one?

I guess Gooseberry Patch was just the name of the cookbook. For some reason, I thought the vegetable platter was going to have a gooseberry sauce or glaze. That might be tasty.😋 EDIT: I guess gooseberry plants are illegal in some states in the US to protect local ecosytems, because the plants...

I know the question was directed at someone else, but I wanted to chime in my 2¢ Soul sleep and annihilation are also doctrines of Seventh Day Adventists and some other movements related to them. The theory as I understand it is this: When the body dies, the soul sleeps. Nothing is annihilated...

Binitarians like the Armstrong churches have more grounding in ancient Jewish ideas and theology than many may have realized.

Or is that what monolotry is?? 🤔

I would have thought of it that way too. The distinction being whom or how many you worship, if I have it right. Monolotry only worships one, henotheism can worship other with clear elevation of a supreme deity, correct? So both trinitarian theology, or thoughts about having angelic guardians...

Yeah, I think so too. Not understanding is starting from zero but one can learn and add knowledge False understanding is like starting from negative numbers but with a barrier that no equation can solve🫤😑 Those all sound like good ways to live. 😃😀🥰

Very interesting.
