I have seen a lot of males wearing all sorts of items of jewelry and clothing that are traditionally female. If that is their thing....

Maybe. But, most of the regular people DID call Him Rabbi, and it was kind of a normal thing to do when the disciples "followed" Him. Remember, the Jews were steeped in traditionalism and fell right in step with those things. That is why the act of baptism was nothing new to them when John...

Well, all Jews probably came from under the influence of one "school of thought" or another. The big thing for most of them was to find a Rabbi to follow and learn from.

It is a toss-up about him with some Scholars, but who knows?

This is interesting since we do tend to damn all Pharisees, when some were good people. Jesus even received help from some of them.

They are never directly mentioned in scriptures, but it is believed Jesus referred to them about three times. They seem to have come into existence about 150 BC, give or take ten years.

You will also find them called "Essenes", a Nasserite sect of the church of Mt. Caramel.

I didn't stutter, did I?

Well, I'm old and straight, so I will leave this to you others. :)

Check with your Holy Spirit, you Turkey. Your "discernment" mojo is malfunctioning, I was trying to defend you.

Actually, the only way any of us has any idea — and then, we really don't know — is by whatever sign the grocer props up in front of a particular pile of fruit (or meat). Kinda the same for doctrine, a lot of times. (Most of us, even preachers and priests, just go by what we are told is correct.)

"Traditionalism" dictating to us again how to speak and act. We all are VERY susceptible to that. I guess it is hard to fight. We have a woman at church who prays to her "Daddy." I think some of the congregation would burn her at the stake if they could get away with it.

If you have ever encountered a window that had been painted shut, you know better than that. That might be the excuse a desperate slick lawyer would try to float, but it would never fly with a sensible judge. It comes down to the fact that a painted-shut window will not budge a fraction of an...

Well, personally, I think it was September 11th, at around 10:45pm.... even if our yearly calendar may be off a few years.

Since none of us actually knows how God may decide to do anything He chooses, why do we assume we are to cease praying for people at their deaths? It may do nothing, but I doubt God is going to be torqued-off if we do so.

Undoubtedly, it would have been a magnanimous act for the pastor to have offered to pay all the hospital bills for the boy. But, why bankrupt this man and leave his family destitute for something that was not his fault, and that the insurance all responsible people carry would largely take care...

How is it anyone's fault but their own that they run their arm through a window? It is sad and kind of tragic, but where should the actual "blame" be?

Ginger Rella posted this on another forum. She used her phone, and it was a little messed-up (as phone posts usually are) So I condensed it for us: Ben Stein — something to think about Apparently the White House referred to Christmas Trees as Holiday Trees for the first time this year which...
