After a nine month hiatus, The Neverending Story, the granddaddy of daily threads, has returned to Free Republic. Originally begun on March 24, 2001, as a religious discussion thread, the NES evolved over time into a daily thread spanning a wide variety of topics. The new and improved Neverending Story will feature conversation on religion, politics, culture, current events, business, sports, family, hobbies, general fellowship and more. We welcome you to hang your hat in our little corner of FR. We ask you to abide by the FR posting rules and, even in the midst of serious debate, to keep the discussion friendly and respectful. Those who wish to "duke it out" are asked to take it over to the Smoky Backroom. I placed this thread in "General/Chat" for a reason, so play nice and have fun! :o)
I'll wait for IMRight to respond, then.
That's where I got it from. Sgt. Schultz and I have a lot in common except I am not fat.
Can't even post on a chat board and you expext us to listen to you?

Oh, by the way, the DSS fragment of Psalm 22:17 has been dated as late as the second century C.E. by scholars and researchers including Geza Vermes, the primary translator of the DSS.
I'll be fine. My expectations weren't that high anyway. :-)
Do you assume a deliberate mistranslation to support the development of the Cult of Mary?
Luke 1:28 (DR) And the angel being come in, said unto her: Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
The RCC no longer teaches that.
Someone really ought to break that to the trads, then. ;o)
I have gotten used to your double posting but triple????????????
I guess they figured 1,963 years was enough. :-)
At this moment John Kerry is pontificating though he is really no worse than all those other assholes who are making noises for the camera.
There'll certainly be no daytime freeping for me at the ole postoffice.
Don't exaggerate. There was no RCC until Constantine invented it.
No, sorry. I only said it was possible to cede that it doesn't technically say "virgin" without affecting the reality of Jesus' birth.

Whoa, you started TODAY, didn't ya, Cliffy?! :-) How'd it go?
Don't exaggerate. There was no RCC until Constantine invented it.
Ok I take that back. I'll just say they left it in there until well after the Shoah. :-)
Interesting. There is no one who disputes the historical reality of the birth of Jesus. You are willing to cede it was not foretold in the Old Testament?
Off the top of my head, there is also ...Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
I just looked up Isaiah 9:6. God does calls the Son, God and Father.
