I don't disagree ➛ I also find it faulty + ambiguous. I think some (sects of) Judaism share a similar belief concerning the pre-existence of souls: they are held in the guff, prior to birth, iirc. It's found in commentary, though-- not the Torah. It isn't in the New Testament, either, so I...

Brilliant. ♡

Thank you. I want the old (old) English version of 2 Cor. 5:2 emblazoned on a mug (Daniel Mace NT c. 1729). Long on poetic license, but still accurate. ESV For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling -- MNT 2 Cor. 5:2 While I am thus incas'd I long to have...

That's a commitment. And a daunting one, at that. ➛ '... thousands of pages long.' [ yikes ] When did you stumble onto this ? Are you familiar, @A Freeman or did the info just have some similarity? I've never heard of it before. -.-

This thread is definitely getting interesting. Urantia | Wiki . . .

I read the book ages ago... pretty creepy, but it held my attention. Lisey's Song was a little different. It's strange, but if you haven't read it and you like Stephen King... it's good. Haven't seen the movie, though.

I think Adventism believes Jesus was created before Mary. Other than that, based on your post-- you two agree. Interesting, isn't it.

Not that anyone asked me, but... :) Jesus was crucified on the enemy's cross-- so in this context (and imho), it's reasonable to associate the symbol with Saturn and the enemies God. I wouldn't be surprised if it was understood at the time. The temples of the old gods were supposedly built a few...

Four glasses of wine per week is negligible. Four glasses of wine for breakfast adds a bit of whimsy to the morning. A warning about either practice from the media adds nothing. I looked at the article. "It would be wonderful to have a fresh brain." The liver can regenerate; the brain...

Amen... me too. On the laptop, I mean. I try to stay away from it at home. Feels like work. :/

Thank you ♡ It is much easier to see imo. I've only met a few people who prefer dark, but they tend to be adamant about their preference. I am, too. Notably, they are not A-Types... not ime. Hence my curiosity. The star gif is in white. Can't see the animation without a dark screen.

Thanks~! "If it's weird, it's important." Dr. Michael Heiser If you're watching Dr Kim, then you will probably love Mike Heiser. I binged watched all 4 parts over a weekend when it came out. It's remarkable. Have you seen this already? P.S. There is nothing sinful about studying the Bible...

I LOVE Gene Kim! :) I haven't even read your post-- that threw me. In a good way. (lol)

Yes-- the Bible alone supports the existence of the Nephilim, as the result of the Sons of God and the Daughters of Adam... I think that's what you're saying. :) You may be familiar, but if not and you're interested-- skip to the 3:10 mark. He breaks down the error of the Sethite theory and...

I'm out of the loop. ☺️ I know the Roman church has its own trinity-- or quaternity, since the queen of heaven has been promoted-- but I guess I wasn't aware they'd been accused of creating the concept. -.- I'm glad there is (more) evidence showing otherwise. -

Good point -- First Enoch has always been a part of the Ethiopic Bible. Whether it is canon or not, I consider it a valuable resource. The intro is significant imo, considering its resurgence as of late: The words of the blessing of Enoch, wherewith he blessed the elect and righteous, who will...
