Hello all........ This thread is about 'Sin'. These are my opinions about what sin is, and they're going to differ markedly from the Christian idea, for sure! There were 613 Mosaic laws and if they had all been kept by any nation then that would have secured the nation in safety, strength...

Two days before November and its 21*C in our unheated home and 15*C in the garden, the longest 'Indian' summer I can ever remember. The trouble is that nobody really seems to know what will happen or when; we could be locked in to a serious freeze very quickly, or be gardening in...

In a recent Trial in Iran, a number of Bahais were convicted of offences and imprisoned. This thread doesn't address that trial, its evidence, nor its verdicts... it is about the Bahai defence claims and the country's prosecution claims about the nature of Bahai, thus:- Bahai Defence was based...

My late wife suffered from both peitit-mal and grand-mal epileptic seizures. Grand-mal seizures are now called something like 'tonic-clonic'. She would have several petit-mal seizures each day and might have a grand-mal seizure every other night. I 1973 (ish) I took her to meet Harry...

The New International Version translation of the Gospel of Mark warns readers if there is evidence that verses were adjusted, added to or cut. A typical example is in the very first verse of chapter one, where the reader is informed that 'the Son of God' was not present in earliest copies of...

I propose that the 613 laws of Moses (from Genesis, Numbers, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and others) were a perfect piece of legislation for the production of a fast growing, surviving, strong, healthy and cohesive people. All were important, and I think that Jesus wanted their return, especially...

On Saturday my wife took me to the hospital to have a cataract removal operation. They carry out this op on one eye at a time here. I asked that my right eye be the first for this op because it had the worst cataract (like a very thick autumn fog) and had such distorted vision that my brain had...

I'm not particularly 'green', but have always had an interest in electric vehicles. Electric cars are wickedly expensive, and even tiny micro-electric cars can cost from £7000-12000.. For two decades a little two seater electric car has been seen whizzing around the London streets, called the...

Please can you give me an example of G-JOHNs geographic accuracy?

I have often heard the rubbish about 'Islamic Gangs' controlling parts of the UK and enacting 'Sharia'. Once spread around this got repeated and repeated ....parroted, and became the focus of shivering fear amongst many people who have never bothered to discover more. Many years ago (circa...

Basky was a proud man! It had taken 'Bas' most of his life to work his way up through the never ending ranks to become a skipper, and as he stood at the helm of the old Gamecock for the first time he knew he was almost bursting with pride about the haughty position in creek-side society in which...

I wonder what happened to the Druids. Recently, at another meeting place far away, a druid introduced me to his ideas about Druidism, or is it Druidry? I never did get a chance to ask much more because that was the day I emigrated to here, an asylum seeker, if you like. :) But I did buy a...

Hello again and thank you again for such a kind welcome here. Soon after joining here I asked admin if Christian Creed can be questioned on the Christian section, and was surprised to discover that this is ok. Since then I have noticed that some Christian members have clearly been irritated...

The Rebels. This document, written in Western Aramaic, was discovered during an archeological survey being carried out at the Misr Railway Station Car-park in Western Alexandria prior to the construction of a seven acre bus-depot. The jar which held the scrolls is dated to circa 10 BCE, but...

This is just a 'thank you' for the kind welcomes and responses I have received during this last couple of weeks. It feels as if I have always posted here, as if this was the only forum I ever came to. truly. Twenty years ago I wrote a story about my perception of what the life of a Jewish...

I have often wondered why Jesus gave Simon BarJonas the name 'Cephas'. I have often wondered why so many people have become used to calling him 'Peter', a name that neither he nor Jesus heard, imo. And I've often wondered what Jesus did for work along the Capernaum shoreline, before he started...

Back in the 70's a nice man listened to my ideas and beliefs and told me that I was a Pantheist, and explained to me that believing in everything being a part of God was ....Pantheism. Many years later I discovered that Theism is all about aware, involved, participating God/s, which didn't...

About a decade ago a Muslim household in Cardiff, Wales, UK were so frustrated that their small child could not remember verses from the Qu 'run that they beat him, until one day he died. To cover this murder they burned their house down but were both caught, convicted and punished. Obviously...

I don't think it was............. a denarius! Let me start by fishing out a pic of a coin.....:- ....and let me fish out another (in slightly) smaller scale:- .......... so let's imagine that you were there, watching that whole scene and that priest tried to catch out Jesus with a nasty...

A piano teacher, Rene Salm, gathered as many archaeological reviews together and discovered that although showing habitation from earlier and later times the Hilltop of Nazareth had not produced more than oil lamps from the early 1st century. Evidence of maybe one building from that time, but...
