For some reason, just thought about stopping by the ol' stomping grounds. Can't believe the last visit by me was 12/19/2008. Hope everyone's well. This will be more of a pass through, but maybe I'll check in a little more often. :rofl:

A post was recently made which made me wonder: Am I an irritant to the members of this forum? I've stated overtly many times that I'm not here to recruit anyone to my belief structure; therefore, I'm left with the conclusion that this poster is irritated with me. The post also makes it...

This is a summation statement from an acquaintance of mine regarding the Tzaddik Gamur: From the little that I have researched this, it appears that there are a handfull of Tzaddik Gamur in each generation. Just thought I would put this out there for thoughts and considerations.

I don't believe I had informed everyone here that my wife is pregnant with our second child. Yesterday was twenty weeks, and we went in for THE ultrasound today. We found out that we're going to be having a baby boy! All three of us are quite happy. No names have been decided upon, but...

I saw another thread that talked about Sabbath observance and talked about Sabbath-observing businesses. Therefore, I thought I would start a poll to find out where people stand. There will be three options to the question: Do you believe that all people should observe the Sabbath? 1)...

Just figured I would start a poll regarding the membership of this forum. Who is Halachically Jewish? This would mean that you were: 1) Born of a Jewish Mother. 2) Had a halachic conversion. If you were born of a Jewish mother; then please feel free to share your tribal lineage (if...

Is this wonderful Psalm compatible with Pauline Theology? Psalm 119 1. Praiseworthy are those whose way is perfect, who walk with the law of the Lord. 2. Praiseworthy are those who keep His testimonies; who seek Him wholeheartedly. 3. Not only have they committed no injustice, they walked...

I had written this some time ago, and I'll let it be part of the OP again: As we look at the book of Isaiah, we should first make mention of the fact that the division of the Bible into chapters and verses is only for finding; not for determining theology. I bring this to attention...

The misconception that a Jew must keep the Torah perfectly from cradle to grave has arisen in a couple posts I have read. I wanted to open up this thread so that we might discuss this misconception. Within all of the Torah and the 'NaKh, there is no mention of a the need to be perfect in...

A post was made today where the writer used the phrase, "Torah/Yeshua". I thought it was interesting that the two entities were considered interchangeable; therefore, I figured I would start a thread about it. I've read Avi ben Mordechai's books on the Messiah within the Tanakh and different...

I wanted to start a thread, and see what sort of dialogue we can make out it. Without relying on the Christian testament, I would like to see if you can show me why you believe that G-d is a trinity? Why just three? Why not two? Four? Ten? 137? Thoughts?

Does Toney still come around here?

I've been long removed from this debate (a number of years), and as I came back to peruse some of the thread titles today I wondered: "What is the impetus that keeps this debate going?" Is it a matter of educating the other side? Trying to get people to switch sides? Just curious.

Folks: I've had a few brief posts with a gentleman that swears our kids are getting dumber in the sciences, because "creation" is being taught in the schools. Therefore, I figured I would ask the question of those who may be "in the know". Have the text books changed in the last 10...

I figured I would start a counter thread to one start by another forum member. These are five distinct Messianic prophesies that were not fulfilled by Jesus. Taken from: http://www.jewsforjudaism.org/web/faq/general-messiah-criteria.html I ask that the prophesies above be addressed...

Quick question for those who are interested: I was thinking to myself today, as I was reading the last book in the Bourne series, about religious buildings and how they sometimes change hands. Through the past two thousand years churches have become mosques, pagan meeting areas have become...

I wanted to open a thread to discuss the nature of Replacement Theology, and how it plays a role in anti-Semitism. I shall give a definition of said doctrine, and then demonstrate how it leads into anti-Semitism. I make one request: in the attempts to rebut my statements and sources, I ask...

Wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in discussing Hyam Maccoby's The Mythmaker: Paul and the Invention of Christianity on a point by point basis? If so, let me know, and I'll start it in this thread or start one anew. m.d.

Upon reading the thread(s) regarding Christian Dude/Spoken For, I thought I would go ahead and update everyone on my situation. With the restraint of the moderators in allowing this thread, I will inform all those inclined that I have decided that I cannot swallow the Nicene Creed. I have...
