    Creeds fall short when it comes to the Mystery of the GodHead

    Holy Trinity is not a description of God, but a description of a human experience of God. The Holy Trinity is a doctrine, adopted by the Christian Church in the 4th century CE, as a way of processing and understanding their experience with God. It is a product of dualistic Greek thinking which...

    PETER AND PAUL AND THE RESURRECTION AND SALVATION

    After about 300 years the early Jerusalem church of the apostles was virtually extinct. That extinction was aided and abetted by the church of Paul from which modern Christianity has descended. I think we lost a great deal in this process.

    Biden names VP running mate

    I think her an excellent choice in both her credentials and in her experience. If she debates Pence she will rip him up. If she ever went nose to nose with the Donald she would chew him up and spit him out.

    I found out what the Tree of knowledge was

    The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil is symbolic of mankind emerging from their mental and moral infancy into full adulthood as moral human beings that are responsible for their actions. In brief they graduated from animal status into being fully human.

    Shroud of Turin: Absolute proof the man in the Shroud is Jesus Christ

    My belief in Jesus is completely unaffected by being unconvinced that the Shroud is indeed a miracle. To me it is an intriguing scientific and historical puzzle. I know more of it now than when I first learned of it 60 years ago and I may go to my death with the puzzle unsolved. That frustrates...

    NRA in Deep Trouble

    I see the NRS itself as a blatantly political exercise but I am content to leave the matter to the courts.

    NRA in Deep Trouble

    It looks like the National Rifle Association is in deep trouble for two reasons. First, due to the spate of high profile mass shootings, their donations are way down taking them from a $28 million surplus in 2015 to a deficit of $36 million in 2018. Secondly, the executives appear to be...

    My own Skins

    I have no idea what a "skin" is so I went to the website you posted. I still have no idea what a skin is.

    USA Mail In Voting

    I did not realize that the USA had fallen so low because none of that is happening in Canada. There are a number of good reasons for that none of which reflect positively on the USA response to this crisis.

    USA Mail In Voting

    I mean we shut down our country for less than a 1% virus. Is a 3% loss of mail now okay? Are equating a human death to a small annoyance? The comparison is quite unfair.

    Shroud of Turin: Absolute proof the man in the Shroud is Jesus Christ

    Nothing has been proven. The verdict is still out. The human mind seeks patterns and we can find them in many places --- a face in a rock, a horse in a cloud, etc. A few years back an image could be seen at night on the wall of a fast food restaurant in Nova Scotia. Someone claimed it was the...

    Biden wants schools to teach the Islamic faith

    In Canada a large number of high schools and all universities have courses in "comparative religion" in which the history and content of the major faiths is examined objectively. No attempt is made at proselytizing or conversion. A great many people today would benefit from taking such a course...

    Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

    As a progressive Christian I do not regard the Bible is as either inerrant or to be understood literally. but, like the Rabbi I quote below, I do take it seriously. Rabbi Brian Zachary Mayer wrote ~~~ I do not take the Bible literally. But I take it seriously. To take it literally would mean...

    Jesus, Mary, and Joseph

    During the ministry of Jesus he visited Nazareth and people said in effect "is this not Jesus the son of Mary?" To identify him through his mother is to question his parentage. My personal opinion is that Jesus was the natural son of Joseph and that the story of the virgin birth cane as a result...

    chinese food

    A lot of Chinese restaurants will have a "meal for 1 or 2 or 4" that come with a variety of dishes. That might be a good way to sample a variety. For your first meal do not ask for spicy! It might take a week for your mouth to cool off.
