    Was Noah insane or a traitor for finishing the Ark?

    No, you are missing the point. Noah did let mankind die out. Ultimately, he had no choice. All but himself and his kind were worth saving, those that were true to Yahweh. Everyone who did not subscribe to this particular moral and ethical worldview, was wasted. That is the traditional Jewish...

    Was Noah insane or a traitor for finishing the Ark?

    Noah and the Ark are metaphors for your own life. What shall I do, follow a path that leads to derision and scorn, or go along with the crowd, to perdition. It's as simple as that. Ultimately, Noah and his family prevails because they stay true to God, while the rest of the world founders...

    I See Skies of Blue...

    Yes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Beauty itself is not proof of the existence of God. But is it not remarkable that a portion of creation is capable of recognizing and appreciating itself.

    Reincarnation Videos

    Can a person remember how they may have died in a past life? Since I was a child I have had dreams in which I am a grown man driving along a causeway during a storm. My car quits running so I am forced to run along the road in the wind and rain, with the ocean waves splashing over the...

    Where has the love gone.

    This is perhaps the most difficult thing for a Christian to do, and if not for an outpouring of Grace it would be impossible. Remember, it is not enough that we stand idly by while others are being unfairly persecuted, but we must defend them. If we truly believe homosexuals are being...

    The Shekinah.

    Jaareshiah, did you copy that post from "Watchtower" or "Awake?"

    Journey through the mind...

    Either a mathematical theologist or a blackjack dealer, I would think. Still plenty of those jobs available in the Seattle area; good money, low stress, and lots of breaktime to spend contemplating the universe. Good luck.

    Swordplay

    I think depictions of angels are meant to be symbolic representations of divine attributes. For example, a sword, weilded by and angel, usually represents divine truth. Of course you are free to interpret a symbol any way you like. I tend to think of a sword as a phallic symbol, so when I see...

    The Shekinah.

    Oh, so that's what it is...thank God. I thought it meant kosher sex.

    spiritual?

    I would agree for the most part, but sometimes someone paints a picture or writes a song that contains much more within it then they ever realized or intended.

    I can haz bibel?

    I left this page on my screen to go get a coke and my cat jumped up and saw it. Now there's no living with him!

    spiritual?

    I find your desire to preserve dying languages to be of great spiritual importance, and definitely a vocation. It must be a truly mystical experience to revive a dead language, hence the metaphor of the "rosetta stone." Riverwolf's vocation to safeguard poetry and storytelling is equally...

    today's holidays

    Tango Day! Now that's for me. But it's not just in Buenos Aires, people all over the world are invited to strut and dip their way to happiness on this International Day of the Tango. Of course, for Argentinians, every day is Tango Day.

    World Parliament of Religions to be held!

    Just out of curiosity, what do you suppose the Western World would be like today, if Gnostic Christianity had won out over Orthodox Christianity in the first few centuries after Christ? I wonder if the Gnostics would have tolerated dissenters any more than the Catholics did? Would the Solitary...

    If you were going to choose a religion, how would you go about it?

    Research the various religions with your head, but listen to your heart, it will lead in the path you are destined to follow. Merely examining a religion to see if it conforms to your existing views is not enlightenment but validation. Religious faith is suppposed to enlighten us, to help us...

    Hell

    Based upon your apparent unwillingness to accept any particulary spiritual viewpoint (Hindu, Mormon, whatever) you will probably not make it to Hell at all. You will probably end up on the melancholy shore of Acheron with all the cowardly angels, your fear having become desire, which will never...

    What would it take for you to obey God?

    Right on. "Jesus wept," indeed. Can you imagine that poor Jew coming face to face with Joyce Meyer? Yikes!

    What would it take for you to obey God?

    Money, Scott, and lots of it.

    Generalizations Based on Beliefs

    Well, a Taoist is prohibited from making judgements until as much evidence that can be gathered is gathered, and even then he can't be certain of his judgements because of his prejudices. That you carefully observe is good, that you judge before all the facts are in, not so much. I mean a man...
