    QUOTE for the day

    “Atheism is not the knowledge that God does not exist, but only the wish that He did not, in order that one could sin without reproach or exalt one’s ego without challenge. The pillars upon which atheism mounts are sensuality and pride.” - Fulton Sheen

    What books are you currently reading?

    * Not meant in any way to diminish President Grant or his purpose in addressing a limited audience, I’m taking the liberty of going beyond what he wrote to the children and youth of the United States nearly 150 years ago and extending his message to the old, and to the youth, to the children, of...

    What books are you currently reading?

    * I consider the Bible to be the Book of books. If for some reason someone can only read one book, I hope and pray that this is the one which that person will choose. *

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    I‘m a Christian who believes in one God. That’s right. But as I’ve stated a couple of times now, Jewish monotheists are unitarians. Jesus himself is a Jewish monotheist; a unitarian. His God is only one person; the Father alone. One God -> Monotheism. One God, only one person ->...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    I’ve already explained it to you. My God is only one person, the God and Father of Messiah Jesus. That is Jewish monotheism. You aren’t nearly as surprised as I am. Have they at least taught you that Jesus is not a human person?

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    Why would you prefer listening to a unitarian explain it to you, which I have, instead of one of the most important figures in Catholic history? When I’m speaking with Catholics, I use Catholic sources. I meet them where they are. I seldom, if ever, would use a unitarian source in those...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    See Gregory of Nyssa. What I’m saying should make perfect sense to you when you do. Gregory was certainly in a position to know. Wow! You really should take advantage of the opportunity. Ask them whether or not you must agree with Catholic dogma. It is with your best interest in mind that I...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    That’s right, as far as it goes. The problem is that it doesn’t go far enough. Your dogma destroyed my dogma. The testimony of my witness, Gregory of Nyssa, is someone whom I would expect you to trust. We are, however, moving away at this point from the topic of this thread.

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    It isn’t redundant at all. It’s very well-known that Jewish monotheism is more than just belief in and worship of only one God. I’ve mentioned Gregory of Nyssa in several conversations. His comment about the need to destroy the dogma of Jewish monotheism points to the reason for it -...

    Were Jesus's brothers born of another woman?

    No. Jewish monotheism is unitarian. The one God is only one person, the Father. That’s fine. I’m a civil engineer by training and profession. It’s an occupational hazard of engineers, in general, to “over think” even the simplest of matters. As you say, it can be a good trait. No. I’m...

    Who is “the new Moses”?

    Another “Jesus is the new Moses” sighting. “As the devil said it would, the distribution of bread moved the crowd to acclaim Jesus as the New Moses, the provider, the Welfare King whom they had been waiting for.” (John Howard Yoder, “The Politics of Jesus,” pp. 34,35)

    * That was certainly true when I was still working. Nowadays looking in the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, living room, personal library or man cave will find me 90% of the time. *

    The happy thread

    * I obtained my cell phone number in 404 but now I’m in 502. (Thank you, Jesus.) Feels strange, and people sometimes ask me about it, but it’s very easy to remember - even if you see it only once - and I’m not going to memorize a new number. That’s just the way it is and the way it’s going to...

    The happy thread

    * My family didn’t have a color tv set until the mid ‘70’s. I only found out the program (which I loved in the 60’s and enjoy rewatching now) was in color until the ‘90’s! *
