If you think it makes sense, please explain it. I must be missing details if it makes sense to you and not me, no? The world couldn't exist if God destroyed every sinner, nor could it exist if God sat back and did nothing. This is irrelevant to the discussion. It doesn't matter what...

Sin is an action. It cannot 'kidnap us'. Stop making up nonsense, please. Kept denying Jesus? Besides the obviousness of that course of action giving history and the prophecies. Funny how all you need is Jesus and then you can be as wicked and prideful of a person as you want and still...

Lies, deceptions, ignoring questions? Like what? The 9/11 Commission Report was fairly thorough. Did they miss things? Sure, but not that much. Unless you're suggesting the typical Bush/Jewish conspiracy ideas that far-left people often cite, there's not much to talk about anymore.

So explain this to me: Why would God give human beings a revelation that doesn't make any sense? Is God so wicked that God would go out of God's way to confuse us? I say no. God loves us, and as long as God loves us, God will give us answers that can, in general, be rationalised. Christian...

Not to mention that the Catholic Church spent a lot of money for his very elaborate funeral. Too true.

Sorry, but I call bollocks on this one. That statement makes absolutely no logical sense.

Adam and Eve weren't Jews. Jewish tradition holds that Abraham and Sarah were the first Jews, not anyone before them.

Funny that I'm the only one in this discussion who actually is a monotheist. Like I said before, grow up. You're older than me, but you speak with the insecurity of a small child. I'm not here to soothe and pet your fragile ego.

It's not my fault that you're ignorant and don't want to learn anything. Grow up.

Actually, Jesus's name is Y'shuah. Joshua is Y'hoshua. Different names entirely, sorry.

I don't agree with the first statement. Abortions are not morally incorrect. I can agree with that. Rape isn't the only reason abortions occur. Preaching abstinence doesn't work. I don't think abortion is evil. You lose more cells off your body every day than there are in a...

"Jehovah" is not how YHVH is pronounced, sorry. There's no "J" in Hebrew. And Jesus isn't YHVH, even in Christianity, so your argument breaks down anyway.

I'm sorry that you're ignorant. Too bad. You're still wrong. Hinduism has existed for more than 20,000 years, regardless of whether you like it or not.

Son? Eh, maybe. But Jews do refer to God as 'Avinu' (Our Father) in a number of different prayers, so I'm not sure how 'radical' it would really have been. Hence, I argue that the portrayal of the Pharisees in the Gospels stems from the anti-Jewish bias of the Gospel writers. This bias...

Well, there shouldn't be any question over whether or not it did happen... I'm from the area, and when I look at the NYC skyline, two buildings are mysteriously missing. :\

Oh really? Stop making things up, Reba, it's unbecoming of you.

Paganism isn't a religion, it's a very vague term indicating nothing with regards to theology, world outlook, ritual or practice. Hinduism is the oldest living religion, also the oldest religion we really know anything about. After Hinduism came Zorastrianism, after which came Judaism and...

I don't think that statement is really defensible. The Pharisees portrayed in the Mishnah are essentially identical to the way Jesus is portrayed in the Gospels. I can't see how he was any more or less liberal than any other Pharisee, nor can I see his philosophy being at all original.

Primates are very similar to humans genetically and there are a number of diseases, both bacterial and viral, that can easily infect both humans and other primates. As for how SIV changed to HIV, the answer would be evolution. A group of viruses find themselves in a new environment (a human...

Actually, the Pharisees were liberals... The Sadducees were conservatives. The Essenes were essentially the Jewish version of the Amish.
