I'd like to have a one-to-one time w/ Horowitz. Seldom do I have the opportunity to converse w/ another high IQ. (hopefully not boasting, but just being factual.) Both Christians and Jews would cringe, as would any w/ a religion..... One key is the true meaning of religion..... Religion: a guilt management system...... But figure this out...... I'm a believer......

All issues on this subject are cleared up when you realize that women come from the factory with a marker (hymen; a membrane with a fairly significant blood supply) that breaks upon first sexual encounter. It's pretty clear that the designer meant this to be the contract (maybe covenant) with the man that her blood was shed on. It's also interesting that she, the woman, is equipped to make only one of these contracts in her lifetime. Christianity hasn't done a very good job of preserving this moral truth the past 100 yrs. It used to be a near universal truth. Biblically divorce was only for breaking off a betrothal (engagement) Mt.1:18 &19....... that is while she still had an intact hymen. Also the betrothal was so binding that they...

Chosen for what? To go to heaven? Rather than whatever the alternative might be?

Chuck...... wrong...... I'm not a follower of anybody but my own studies..... Having had 8 yrs. of Gk. in seminary 42 yrs., ago, I'm still studying every day. In seminary I declined to take any theology classes, only the Gk and Heb...... So I've ferreted things out for myself...... 180+ IQ and all. Don't like to boast, but when forced to do so....... I still stand by my comments regarding BamaBoySlim's assertion regarding Jesus commenting...... "LAKE of fire" appearing only in the book of Revelation. You, Chuck, need to check out your concordance. The verses you cite don't refer to the LAKE of fire. There is a big difference between LAKE of fire and the parabolic use of the word fire where you cite. A parable is a similitude, a...

Is that an empirical statement or just wish fulfillment?

Correction: BamaBoySlim said..... :Christ himself spoke of hell, refering to it as "the lake of fire". The only places where "the lake of fire" is recorded is in the last few chapters of The Revelation and they were written by John.... also..... Jesus never said the word "hell". He used two Greek words that were translated over 1500 or so years later into the English word "hell". One is Gehennah which was the town dump for Jerusalem and burned all the time. It's now a park and you can buy some KFC right across the street and have a picnic there. It didn't burn for eternity. The other word is hades which was a Hebrew idiom for "unseen". Try to figure out something called eternal punishment from that!! ....... Me thinks the "Old Adam" has...

If the 30-35 comments of the 340 that I've read so far are any indication of the intelligence common in our country...... God help us....... I guess I can't just up and leave w/ that comment, so I'll leave a website for one to scan. If but one in a couple of thousand checks it out.... I'll be happy.... Concordant Publishing Concern........ But then maybe I should add..... Cross and Throne......

I have yet another starting point for the black situation...... Self-image has become a big, if not the biggest, problem in all Western society. Self-image has basically to do with how one identifies themselves with the picture in one's conscience of what it means to be fully male or fully female. The main marker, in the case of young males, is what kind of female I'm worthy of having for a lifes partner. ALL males, at some level, desire a virtuous female to fill that role. (If you don't know what it means to be a virtuous female, you'd best throw this email in the trash, because you won't understand it.) When a young male looks around at our society, perticularly black society, he sees his chances of having a compliment to his being a...

This not a trick question..... I really want to know........ Was/is Jesus a Christian?
