Spin, if you look at the bottom left hand side of the screen, you will see a small circle that is sometimes gray and sometimes green. The green means the person is on-line and the gray means that...

Many don't know this but breakfast is the best time to eat a large, rare rib-eye steak. I told my cardiologist that and he had that sad, woe-be-gone look on his face.:icon_razz:

A practicing Buddhist that drinks a couple of six-packs of beer a day while enjoying rib-eye steaks?????

Sounds similar to a Christian preacher that likes gay sex while snorting crank.:D:D

What makes you think that "LIFE" has a purpose?

I think that Jesus would gladly go to a biker bar to preach His message of love and compassion. And He would not be drinking any sarsaparilla either.

Yeah, it's call Associated Press.

No way did the authors of the Gospels view the events first hand or had interviewed eye-witnesses. They got their information either from the oral tradition or...

This article explains it. A lost document.

My copy of the book "Excavating Jesus: Beneath the stones, behind the texts" arrived a couple of days ago. Recommend it to anyone interested in what was happening in Galilee in the '20s. In fact,...

The Gospel of Thomas is not based on Mark as are Matthew and Luke. It, like Q, are independent documents based on the oral tradition.

Iscariot represents the Hebrew word *Ishqarya*, "man of falsehood, betrayer."

If we assume the existence of God, what makes you think God would perform miracles here on Earth? Isn't our own existence enough of a miracle to the most devoted worshiper? Or is our faith in God so...

I ordered a book of Josephus' writings. Not the one you have but another one. I decided not to get the one by Paul L. Maier when I saw he also wrote "Guide to Creation."

Anyway, to answer your...

Josephus wrote his histories in 94 AD. Mark was probably written 75 to 80 AD.

Anyway, a number of observers think Josephus reference to Jesus was added later by copyists. That's one of the...

I might just do that.

Who says Jesus was lying and trying to deceive? He always said that He was the son of man.

Conceptualization will never lead to spiritual knowledge.. What is true in the New Testament for one person may be false to another.

The New Testament still contains a good amount of information about what Jesus taught. Probably most of the stories have a message if viewed as a parable. The New Testament works on many different...

We know we are in the desert because we can feel that the soil is sandy,rocky with no grass, the wind is hot and dry, and the overhead Sun is baking us. We feel the temperature is extremely hot, we...

No surprise there.

Saw Godzilla on TV last night. How do I know that that is not a true story?

According to the Bible, Jesus was execute as a subversive to Roman rule, or something like that.

Thanks for your concern. But we are all blind men wandering in the desert searching for the oasis.

My worldview is that Jesus is love.

Since the stories about Jesus are mostly fiction, why should we accept the story about Him predicting something as accurate?

Josephus was in the 3%. But you knew that. The rest of your post is typical "Tyler" offerings.

Maybe God has opened my eyes already that it is YOU and your fellow Christian believers who are...

How about "daggerman"?

Or "backstabber"?

Not at all, DD, it's just that maybe Josephus was reading the Gospels while he was writing his history. It's like a lot of things at that time. A lot of sub-plots and intrigues.
