Quote:Logic alone is completely useless in understanding MOST spiritual matters. It's actually a SEVERE HANDICAP in some cases.

Quote:I have studied, in depth, Budd-hism and Tao-ism, and see little difference between their teachings and those of the Jews. Contrary to what the wonderful orthodox people who run this website believe, I suspect that the main difference between Kabbalah, Buddh-ism and T-ao, and the Ved-as, is one of semantics.

Quote:If you believe that Jsus is a liar because you misunderstand his statements. . .
Quote:John 7.5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him. 6 Therefore Jsus told them, "The right time for me has not yet come; for you any time is right. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that what it does is evil. 8You go to the Feast. I am not going up to this Feast, because for me the right time has not yet come." 9 Having said this, he stayed in Galilee.10However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.

Quote:The last clause is just plain false and would have contradicted the message of the NT as well as Jeremiah 31
Quote:This would make Jesus a liar. Anyone who has taken over a city or country has not been a follower of Jesus. They might have been a believer in Jesus in a certain way, but they certainly were not following Jesus' instructions

Quote:(Paul) wasn't being psychotic, it was a set of deliberate moves, following the instructions of Jsus. . .

Quote:Now, what you have done here, Gideon, is exactly what so many Christians have done over the centuries. They knew just enough of the NT to get themselves into trouble. You are rejecting the NT because of your misunderstandings. They did atrocities because of their misunderstandings. Either way, the NT is blamed for what it does not say, or for what is taken completely out of context. If you want to reject the NT that is your prerogative. But don't reject it for what it does not say, please.The issue of the number of Peter's denials has been brought up by many as an error in the NT. It was an issue I struggled with as a young believer. However, I didn't throw out the NT because of that seeming contradiction because I had too much at stake. It would have torn me up to walk away from the hope that the NT had given me. So, instead I agonized over it.

Quote:5 When Silas and Timothy had come from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus is the Christ. 6 But when they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.
Quote:If you want to throw it out, the Lord will provide you the excuse you are looking for.
