    Orthodox Jews only: Noahides

    I read, a while ago on the Internet, about Noachides and there were some positive comments from some in the Jewish community. However, I would like to know what is specifically the Orthodox opinion on the Noachides?

    Roger Peyrefitte novel: The Jews

    I'm reading this novel by Roger Peyrefitte called The Jews published in 1965. It is very pro-Jewish and absolutely against anti-Semitism. The book is about discrediting anti-Semitism and basically showing how stupid it to be anti-Semitic. The author, I read on Wikipedia, was a French diplomat...

    Religion Family Tree

    Perhaps because Egypt was always heavily influenced by what happened in the Middle East? I would agree that, geographically, Kemeticism is an African faith as you say. But then I also heard some Africans denying Egypt as authentic African. I would further argue that Sufism should not be on the...

    Question for Baha’is. Does Baha’ism entail Quranism.

    As far as I understand Baha'i history, they grew out of Shia Islam. My assumption would be that the Hadith of the Shia Muslims will then be, if not most important, at least preferred? But that's just an educated guess. Please correct me if I'm wrong @Tony Bristow-Stagg

    Language of Angels and Glosolalia

    Hi there I grew up in the Pentecostal church (first Apostolic Faith Mission of South Africa and after that Pentecostal Protestant Church) and although I don't see myself as specific Christian anymore I do still take an active interest. I label myself Omnist and as such try to read as many of...

    Liberals, how do you choose?

    As a liberal, I can only agree that it is difficult and extremely so... Personally I don't support any autocratic leader or repressive group and am against any oppression of any kind. BUT, and it is a big but, if said autocratic leader or repressive group have some policies I actually do agree...

    Two paths but not for all

    Originally that's what I also thought, but actually Swami do believe in (quite a few) heaven(s) and hell(s). He explains these later in the book and they are not completely the same as the Christian heaven and hell. It does reminds me of the Catholic idea of Purgatory - apparently, according to...

    Two paths but not for all

    He said exactly that - that these two paths are not for all people on earth... And after that there is no explanation of why not, so I'm immediately wondering on which path the rest is then...

    Two paths but not for all

    Namaste all I'm reading a book 'What Becomes of the Soul After Death' by Swami Sivananda. According to Swami there is two paths: the path of light followed by souls liberated who go to God and the path of darkness followed by souls who only did good because they wanted something out of it, this...

    Bhagavad Gita translations

    The ISKCON version is the only version of the Bhagavad Gita I have at the moment. I once saw one, translated by Mahatma Ghandi, and would love to read it (unfortunately didn't have the money at the time to buy it).

    Administrative gods?

    Namaste all I have some questions which I guess ISCKON devotees will be in the best position to answer, nevertheless I would like to hear the opinion of anyone in this DIR. At the moment I am at Chapter 8 of the Bhagavad Gita (As it is). In 8:2 Swami Prabhupada comment saying that Lord Indra...

    Puja question(s)

    I strongly believe God is One with many Names and many Manifestations so I guess my answer can be Yes I do or Other. When praying I try to use as many of the Names I can remember at that stage and I do say several different mantras as well

    Part of the Book and a Chosen Race

    HaSalaam A'laykum I've got a lot of questions as I'm reading through the Holy Koran but I don't always get a change to come on the forum to ask them (keeping a notebook, so I'll get there). For now I have two questions. Please keep in mind that my copy of the Koran is in Afrikaans. - First, in...
