    Icons and the last few years on CF

    Thanks for the clarification. IMO and experience there is no where near a collective "conscience" (for lack of a better word) on what Noachidism is nor what Noachides should/shouldn't do. There are schizoid components from within and without the structure. FWIW, the strongest incorrect...

    I need to ask: is there a level of paranoia behind this post?

    Icons and the last few years on CF

    Please don't take my curt response as a reflection on your statement. I'm just clarifying where I'm at when I say that I haven't a concern nor thought in my mind with what may or may not happen after I die. At this point in time in my life, I simply could not care less. Que sera sera.

    Icons and the last few years on CF

    Speaking simply from my experience and opinion... 1) Not at all. It's a different understanding of expectation and pursuance. 2) I haven't seen nor read anything that can be construed as such. However, admittedly, I'm skeptical of my sources before I vet them for any sort of personal...

    Interesting perspective. Wrong, but interesting.

    Jewish people don't need Messiah Yeshua...

    It appears that we're both of fuzzy brains this morning. I apologize for not seeing more clearly where you were going with this. I do not have a remark to make on the point you've raised above, because I simply do not know. You have absolutely no reason to self-depricate. I have a...

    Jewish people don't need Messiah Yeshua...

    What type of sacrifice are you asking about and to what capacity? The type to sustain an active priesthood? The type to express an outward showing of repentance?

    Jewish people don't need Messiah Yeshua...

    I like to think more in the temporal than the eternal, but this coincides. Teshuvah, Tefilla and Tzedakah Repentance, Prayer and Charity

    A response to the "MJ only" thread

    Kudos to CM for two great posts IMO! Back in the early to mid 00's, the MJ forum was a time of great conversations, insights, and discussions (amongst other things). Personally, I credit this forum (or at least, it's past self) with helping me get to the point where I am today...

    Did Jesus Christ complete all of the prophecies in the Old Testament?

    Is there anything linguistically significant between 7:14 and the culmination of the prophesy in Isaiah 8 that designates her as Isaiah's wife?

    Evolution and Science

    Point of clarification: I wrote: I didn't say "should only be". I said "found it to be". Hence, an experiential statement; not one that classifies as fact nor did I intend it that way. My apologies for not being clearer on this point. I see that now, and understand the confusion. I...

    Evolution and Science

    Let's rehash from the very beginning. Here is the OP: Two questions arise from Wesley: 1) Are humans better off because of scientific discoveries? 2) Where does scientific theory disprove God? I responded with the following post that puts the questions in reverse order: So, I...

    Evolution and Science

    Well... that all depends on what coherent thought you actually want to bring about. The amount of non sequiturs that you propound are numerous. Furthermore, I'm not about to help someone see the faults in their statements/beliefs that they place on others.

    Evolution and Science

    The circularity inherent in this statement is rather strong. And you know this because? Your idiomatic understanding of Hebrew? The intent and context of the author? I would suggest that you read Dr. Gerald Schroeder's "Genesis and the Big Bang". He will help present a harmonic...

    Evolution and Science

    I'm intrigued by this statement. In what manner are you using the word "philosophy"? It can mean much more than conceptualization. Before I forget, do you have any feedback on my earlier post in response to you?

    Evolution and Science

    There are a number of items within your short post. I'll leave it to the discretion of the moderators whether they need to modify/delete any portion of my post. "Should" doesn't necessarily equate to "will". It's a matter of personal perspective/belief structure contained therein. As a...

    Evolution and Science

    As for the "better off" statement of the OP, I thought I'd present this article. It summarizes my POV perfectly. Richard Feynman on How Scientists Can Believe in God - Blog As for scientific discoveries (evolutionary, in particular), I believe that the vast majority of scientific...

    Did Jesus Christ complete all of the prophecies in the Old Testament?

    I was always under the belief of unfinished work by Jesus (even when I was a Christian) due to the belief in the Second Advent.

    All Things Talmud

    I never inferred such. :confused: Isaiah 29 doesn't have anything to do with commentary or interpretation of the Torah. I steered clear of the John revelation on purpose as it doesn't pertain to the point I was making. But since you bring up Jesus, then I guess it would be safe to...
