    Reading in the right order

    Imagine you unknowingly read a fan-fiction about a world in the Star Wars universe. In this world, father is a colloquial term not just for a parent, but also a grandparent. One day, you go back and watch the original Star Wars. In the movie, Darth Vader says to Luke Skywalker "Luke it is true...

    Some thoughts on RF political views

    I've been reading some of your posts on the election and Trump and seriously, a number of you sound like partial- to full blown conspiracy theorists. I'm actually surprised at some of the people making these comments and for the benefit of the doubt I'm chalking it up to media-inspired paranoia...

    ... and if you're wrong?

    What if the small handful of men on whose backs rest the entirety of Christianity were actually liars? It seems to me that this is greater issue for Christianity that most other religions as Christianity rests almost entirely on the back of a previous code of law that directly commands not to...

    Where Lexicons Fail in Tranſlation

    Many the argument has been formulated to render a certain tranſlation uſing the lexicon, by thoſe who are not familiar with the language in queſtion. Here I note the danger in doing ſo. Here iſ a quote from Biblical Hermeneutics: The apparent difference of translation between the LXX and the...

    The Lying Scribes of Jeremiah

    We've all heard of them. Those Scribes, the ones who write the Books of the Law. They sit with the Pharisees in Moses' seat. And they're evil (like the Pharisees, amirite?)! They falsify G-d's Law and gave birth to the present day Jewish people! But do we know who they really are? I don't think...

    A Look At the Talmud - Part 1: The Gentile

    This thread is courtesy of the honorable Charles Crosby who was kind enough to garner a list of sources from Jewish literature about non-Jews. I recently had a brush with an anti-semite. He was happy to believe anything about the Jews...but only if it was negative and came from a person who...

    Ye Olde Compendiumme of Sacrifices

    I've come to the conclusion that the best use of my time is to present the plethora of sacrifices found in Judaism (decision making may not be my forte). I'm making a post describing every type of sacrifice found in Judaism and it's purpose. I'll break them up by categories and try to provide as...

    Quoting your religion's verses for others to act upon

    In another thread a Christian poster brought the following NT verses to a non-Christian. 1 Thessalonians 4:10-11 (ESV Strong's) But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more, 11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, 1 Peter 4:15 (ESV Strong's) 15 But let none of...

    Some Questions on Gen. 1

    I thought it would be interesting to show how some commentators approach studying Tanach. The following is a list of questions on the first chapters asked by three Jewish commentators (the Abarbanel, the Malbi"m and the Gr"a.) edited out for duplicates and other sundry reasons. I chose these...

    To Those Whose Ears and Eyes and Hearts are Open

    So I'm noticing a trend in proselytizing religions. It goes something like this: If you listen/read/pray with a pure heart and open eyes/ears/heart, then you will come to believe in the same thing I have come to believe. I've heard this from Christians, Muslims and Baha'i here. If I've heard...

    Daily Life

    There being different religions represented here, I thought we could share what our daily/weekly/monthly/yearly/... life looks like in terms of religious obligations, rituals and the like. Things like "We have to love G-d" don't count as I'm looking more at "a day (month/year) in the life of"...

    The Dome of the Rock - the new Bayt alMaqdess?

    Some news from today: At a conference on Thursday, archaeologists Assaf Avraham and Perez Reuven presented an ancient Muslim inscription that refers to the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount as "Bait al-Maqdess," an Arabicized version of the Hebrew words for the Temple, Beit Hamikdash. The...

    You! Stop reading this and click on this thread!

    Thanks for dropping by. This thread was made as a continuation to a debate taking place in another thread with another poster who may or may not want to remain anonymous and so I'll refrain from calling him out. The question of this thread is as follows: In as much as Christianity replaces...

    Basis for Trusting Muhammad?

    A man comes out of a cave and claims he recieved a prophecy. Why do you believe him? Yes, I understand he was successful in his wars. But does that make him more heaven-sent than any other successful general? If you were around in the time of Muhammad, on what basis would you believe he's...

    Qaballah to me...

    ...is like describing riding a bicycle using words associated with pizza: First you need to sit on the dough, while holding on to the two sauces. Then you put your feet on the cheeses by your feet and press down first on one side then the other. Build up speed and then your off baking all...

    Jewish Noahidism

    Noahidism This thread is meant to be a primer on Jewish Noahidism. Although many people may claim to be Noahides, the term itself (as discussed later) is a Jewish term originating in Jewish literature and refers to a specific concept. It’s that concept that I'm going to be discussing here. Its...
