The Athanasian Creed is not clear at all. It is the attempt of fourth century Greek speaking Gentile Christians to explain the nature of God in the language of Greek philosophy. To the modern ear it sounds like gobbledygook and even if you have some background in Greek philosophy it is not much...

For many years I have struggled to understand the doctrine of the trinity. To say it is a mystery that we are not expected to comprehend simply doesn't cut it for me. Some time ago I discovered that in the original formulation of the trinity, the word in Greek which we traditionally have...

I should add that one of Mussolini's body doubles actually was assassinated.

During WW2 the USA suggested assassinating Hitler but Churchill vetoed the idea. Both Hitler and Mussolini employed body doubles but not Churchill. Interestingly enough the USA essentially assassinated Japanese Admiral Yamamoto.

Every medication can have side effects. In the case of the covid vaccines used in Canada the incidence of side effect is vanishingly small.

The end result could be anything up to and including war. The best solution in the service of justice would be for the third country to suspend Diplomatic immunity and arrest the Western world leader and then turn him/her over to the World Court in the Hague.

Do you hate people from Non-Christian background because I certainly do? No, I don't hate non Christians. Hate is like a powerful acid. It corrodes the container in which it is stored as much as the object on which it is poured. You really cannot hate and still claim to follow the words and...

The USA has done this many times either directly or by proxy. We have learned to our regret and dismay that many times this was done fraudulently and almost always has made matters worse in both the target country and usually in the entire region.

"The earth is very much a spherical round table, all inhabitants are equal to the furthest side no matter their location, just as the Angels are round about the Throne of God who is omnipresent." A sphere is round by definition in just the same way that a circle is round by definition but being...

There is a chain of stores in Canada called The Bulk Barn where you can buy any spice or dried herb or spice mix in any quantity you want even some very unusual or exotic ones.

Over the centuries and going right back to the New Testament itself, the Pharisees have been viewed very negatively by a great many Christians. In my opinion most of this negativity is quite undeserved. The first thing to be pointed out is that the Pharisees were not priests. The priesthood...

Yes, they had one that I am aware of --- fermentation. If you are aware of any others I would appreciate a source that I can look into.

Wine is alcoholic by definition. A little context is helpful. In biblical times wine was normally fermented to the maximum of about 16%. At that concentration the alcohol actually kills the yeast. Biblically this was called strong drink. However the wine was usually cut with water to bring down...

I certainly agree that the ego can be a huge problem.

In your interpretation of symbols I think that more is revealed about your nature than about the nature of God.

The human brain seems to have evolved to search for familiar patterns --- animals or objects in cloud formations, faces in rock formations or tree trunks and of course the familiar Rorschach inkblots. However people usually disagree on what they are actually seeing. I suspect that a lot of this...
