Their intentions are good as written but I don't know what Rev. Moon's intentions are of course.
They have owned a newspaper in Washington D.C. for many years and have met behind the scenes with Presidents etc. They have been out or sight for the most part for many years.
Mr. Moon did 6...
I was reminded of this forum because someone posted to it recently and I got an e mail regarding it.
I believe that the UC would bring Christ but not the Church together with other beliefs. But their Divine Principle book on their teachings mentions nothing of other beliefs and is...
Brother2,
I agree with you regarding following the Principles of a teaching and not the ones who call themselves leaders. Ian Paisley had the nerve to call himself Rev. while being a hate monger of the worst type. There are a few preachers like that here in the US and I can't believe they...
Logician, I have answered you before and very soon you just disappear. I had to ask for your reply in the past. Why not give some kind of reply regardless of what it is?
I don't remember reading that book but through the years I have read a lot pertaining to the subject. I will check out as I like to hear all points of view.
The whole "Pious" image that is given to us by the leaders of the Christian religions is in my opinion, very misleading. To live a...
Did you notice that when Jesus cured someone He said, 'Go and tell no one.'
Leaders hearing about miracles would react the way you and others do, saying that such things are not possible. And people do so to this day.
The eye witnesses passed on the teaching and it was written later--what do you expect after two thousand years.
I have many questions about Paul, pos. and neg. as they would be understood today. I think he forced his opinions on the leaders of the time and any group not agreeing with him...
Popularity of who? No one was looking to win a popularity contest.
In this case since I was talking about Jesus etc. I was referring to the NT
Isn't that what we are discussing here.
I'm not here to get anyone to agree on anything.
You are assuming a lot about me. My...
The Gospels are known to have been written after the apostles had gone out in different directions to speak the teachings. Those who later wrote them quoted as best they could what had been passed down. Maybe the apostles wrote about them and maybe not, but it does not change anything...
Exactly, Walkntune.
His words have been remembered and quote more times than any famous person. Just realizing how advanced in wisdom those words were and are today tells us that there were reasons for everything he did.
Written words have been contradicted--anyone can write anything...
The Gospels say, 'according to Mark,' or whoever, meaning according to what Mark taught. The Gospels were passed on verbally until such time as they were written as I said according to the teachings as given from Jesus to his followers.
Jesus didn't need to write anything as he must have...
The biggest contradiction seems to be between the OT and the NT. The images of God are very different. Jesus has to communicate with people with deep beliefs and try to give them more advanced knowledge. In order to do so he had to change some beliefs that did not apply or should not apply...
The OT at the beginning describes, many Gods, and later says that God can not be 'seen or known etc.' There are many descriptions of 'God' and his communications with certain people but when we go into the NT Jesus talks about our Father who is his Father who never talks to anyone. The...
I could swear I added one more post that said, "Evolution has to be a part of Creationism,"
just as Religion and Science will have to eventually mesh together to find a reality that encompasses all things.
I was showing apparent contradictions in the OT that never seem to be mentioned by Judaic Christianity. Contradictions regarding the Creator or God.
In short, it is saying that there is the One Infinite Creator of all, but also those mentioned in Genesis as Gods--male and female with human...
It appears that the entities 'from off planet' were the Gods of The Garden of Eden which may have been in Atlantis. Ezekiel's meeting in the desert was with entities with greater power than humans of that period. Same with the 'tribes' encountered by Aaron when sent by Moses to check them...
Did I not start off talking about Creationism and the suggestion that SOME of the creationism mentioned in the Bible are far from being by a One Infinite Spirit/God?
FORKIE,
God a human? No, although a common belief is that we and everything in existence is part of the Creator, us being...
I'm listing parts of the Bible that I am curious about and leaving it open to anyone to comment on. I'm not after anything or trying to prove anything. Just like to discuss those things.
Later in Genesis: (An interesting sentence.)
The Nephelim were in the Earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them.
Four types:
1. The Nephlim. 2. the sons of God. 3. The daughters of men. 4. Their...
