That’s beautiful.
We always think we ‘know’ famous people. Most of the time we know very little at all about them.
Kirk was a Joo. One half of him. Didn’t’ read the article but I did see the movie Lust for Life. Great flick. Intense between him and Anthony Quinn.

Why don’t you read the article? It’s inspiring.
Once, fed up with a certain passage when he believed God was being harsh, he slammed the book shut and said “Ach, get me a better story.” Yet he would also say over and over that the stories in the Bible were the wisest in the world, and if he were young, he would start making movies of them, beginning with King David. He knew his life was possible only in America.
Article was too much information.
What the heck is your problem? You claim that you didn’t even read it.

That’s beautiful

I think it’s sad that someone can spend so much time with the Bible and never come to know Christ and ultimately the Kingdom of God. Eternity is a long time to spend away from God.
He was one of the great ones, RIP.
A friend of mine, who did know Christ, was dying & in her last days when told me she could not wait to be “forever in the presence of God’s love”. I thought that was a beautiful description of Heaven.
Bkmrk.
I think that sincerely striving toward an understanding of *God* is very valuable to the individual human life.
I don’t believe that religious Jews are somehow ‘damned’ because they may not believe that Jesus has ‘saved’ them.
God has His plan for each of us, as we present as Individuals.
(And I don’t think it’s very smart to try and second-guess Him, just because we are inclined toward merely human - and very subjective - religious prejudices.)
“I don’t believe that religious Jews are somehow ‘damned’ because they may not believe that Jesus has ‘saved’ them.”
Our personal beliefs don’t constrain or create eternal realities.
ok Jamestown. I read the whole article-just for you. Inspiring but nothing surprised me. Quite accomplished.
“I don’t believe that religious Jews are somehow ‘damned’ because they may not believe that Jesus has ‘saved’ them.”
The Bible says otherwise:
18 ¶ He that believeth on him (Jesus) is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
- Jn 3:18
Yes. God creates ‘eternal realities’.
And He has His own reasons and purposes. I believe that he deals appropriately with every entity that believes in Him.
We don’t need stupid little people on Earth making God’s decisions for Him.
Funny,
I obtained a copy of
“Spartacus”
A month ago and
I’ve watched it at
Least a dozen times,
I’m Watching it now!
.
It’s a love story.
“I said “When you were young, you probably had a block of ice and a fan.” He fixed me with a stare and said, “Who had a fan?””
Haha
