The online translators are a little untrustworthy sometimes as Latin is such a complex language, so any help would be really great. Merry Christmas! :-) x

JOHN W asked for Jews to answer his post which enquired which of the 'prophecies' in the 'old' testament/Tanakh Jesus fufilled. About eight Jews gave accurate, polite and logical answers.
JOHN W then gave 'best response' to a Christian who utterly dismissed the Jewish interpretation of THEIR OWN BIBLE.

Does this make sense to me? Surely I'm not the only one who thinks this is madness? It's like me asking for Hindus to please explain something about their faith - and then ignoring them and listening instead to someone not even of that religion!

If the father warns the abusive ones that they will be punished for abusing the good ones, but the bad ones ignore his warnings, what else should the father do, except carry out the punishment in order to protect his good children?

There can be no purpose in an eternal heavenly life as everything is provided. What exactly can be so grand about purposelessness for eternity? Oh I'm sure you will be able to do things but they will serve no purpose. How can they? How can you find joy in that? It would have to be an artificial purposeless joy.

No? Then why judge Islam by jihadists and those that hurt and kill? Why assume that those who preach hate in Christianity are the whackos, but those who preach hate in Islam MUST be the accurate representations of their religion?

I overheard a conversation between two teenage girls. They were talking about each one's accounts with being raped. I believe with personal experience that probably closet to 90% of rape claims from teenagers is a lie. We had a lot of girls in our high school 10 years ago that went around telling people they had been raped. A teacher was fired and a student lost his scholarship that were innocent to start with.They've cried wolf that makes it hard to believe when someone has been raped. They ruined it for the real victims. Now I will always second guess what a woman is telling me when she says she's been raped. It's almost like they wanted to be raped. I know it technically wouldn't be rape but do you think some girls want to be raped?

i mean lots of people with fet!$hes, used to not have fet!$hes.

just like how a lot of teenagers say "i used to like girls, but now i like guys"
similar to someone saying "i used to like skinny girls, but now i lke really really fat girls"

i'm just a little confused because i DID used to like girls, but now i like guys for some reason.

so would it be considered a fet!$h?


(i'm trying to censor the word fet!sh cuz i don't know if it's a bad word.)

In I Am Legend, when Will blows himself up, wouldn't there be a chance that some of the night seekers could still be alive if they were still running to the house for the attack? Or was the grenade like really powerful. Then they could follow the lady to Vermont and like practically start the movie over?? One more, does anyone out there think that in the future something like this could actually happen? ( lol gas prices are gonna be like $7 when I get driving! )

The over valued home loans deserve major prison sentences IMO. One guy made 4.5 billion is serving 4 yrs. and pays back 2B. He'll still be a billionaire after prison.
Should the buyers have been more astute about the loans?
If you can afford to buy these foreclosed properties for a song is it ethically wrong? Someone is going to buy them.

I understand the main difference of the soul between the two, in Buddhism it being on-existent, but how long after death do they teach it takes to be reborn in these religions.

Please stay away rude people who follow monotheistic faiths, thanks.

I plan to take these answers very seriously, in deciding what to do when confronted by those who subscribe to any particular religious belief.

Here are the principal arguments:

1) Total lack of historical evidence that he ever existed.
Fundamentalist apologists cite a lot-- ALL of it bad
and easily refuted by a competent scholar.

2) The close resemblance of the Jesus story to the essential
outline of the Mystery Cults: god-men, born of virgins on
December 25th, who die on a tree and rise from the dead,
giving immortality to their devoted disciples. Plus a
sacramental meal of bread & wine. Plus ritual baptism,
even being literally "washed in the blood".

3) The convoluted distortion of Old Testament passages use
as "prrof texts", and the indication that a lot of the details of
the story were borrowed from the OT and inserted into the
text of the NT.

In all, it's highly fishy. There is no reason to conclude that Jesus ever existed. Only wishful thinking. But all the wishful thinking in the world cannot make delusion real.
