"Stop trying to suck Jesus out of the hyperbole of the minor prophets" is certainly the view of mainstream Judaism."
But to be honest, the "Mainstream" would have to be considered Reform because of their numbers. But most Reform do not even believe in Torah and in many cases, God either...
Unbelievable! Can this many people really believe that this deplorable act is natural and permissible?
Do we not defile ourselves enough by omission or ignorance?
Just the subject, alone, should be considered unspeakable.
How dare they who would speak in favor of this act even mention...
No philosophy necessary. Take a short cut.
Self is the worst word in any language with regards to religion.
To learn to control self is to become more human and more able to comprehend God's message to us.
Not all would agree that the NT is God's word or include it in the Bible.
That being said, to add to a book is to take away from it and to take something from a book is to add to it. Both were forbidden by Tanakh.
Yes, Caladan, I am living in a Biblical era.
And you, Darkness and others are living in a Secular Humanist era.
You tell me to stop? I will only stop when the Palestinans and other Islamic nations stop whining and blaming all their troubles on the Jews.
You ask, "which nations." Any who...
Wow! I thought I had wandered into a session of the auto da fey.
A simple search of The Epilepsy Foubdation will show that vision can, indeed, be affected by siezures.

I have studied anti-missionary material for years and missed the significance of this.
The ramifications of this are more far reaching than most will see or acknowledge...
I asked the question here because I did not know where it belonged.
I searched the forum and found no mention of Armenians.
My question was because of my lack of dependable first hand information about the Armenian Genocide.
I would like to hear from any Armenian who has such knowledge...
I believe the header of israpundit.com is correct.
"THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION"
Eventually the surrounding nations will attempt to, once again, destroy Eretz Yisrael
and those nations will be decimated unmercifully.
Israel will fight by the rules of its enemies the next time instead of...
Terrywoodenpic: For a moment there you had me confused.
I actually meant Armenian, from Armenia, Turkey, etc., as opposed to The Dutch theologian. Different spelling.
Since WWII we have not been allowed to fight wars to win.
By the same token we do not want Israel to fight to win.
It is not the business of the American Administration to dictate terms to a sovereign nation such as Israel, especially in light of the fact that Israel is our only ally in the...
Zardoz,
I spent much time on ebionite.org yesterday and then went on to Google Scholar for a secular view.
