The Neverending Story
An ongoing debate on Scripture, Tradition, History and Interpretation.


Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams

that wouldn't be enough. He'd want me to visit his "convert to Judaism" link. :-)
Is there ANYTHING in the LAW & the Prophets to prevent you from trusting in Jesus for your Salvation?

The problem with so many of these so-called 'prophecies' of Jesus is that they don't make sense when read closely and in context.
Forest? WHAT forest!!?!?!?

All I see are these dang TREES!!

windshield-mounted tags

How DO those work?!


Do they ping a radio signal, or can I merely use my digital camera to, ahem, copy one from a car found on a public street?

2. Upon This Rock: St. Peter and the Primacy of Rome in Scripture and the Early Church by Stephen Ray
Didn't I post, umpteen pages back, all of 'the rock' references found in the OT that point directly to GOD?

Let's not think that all of a sudden it now points to Pete! (As Delmar might say.....)

"Keys" in the Bible (OT and NT - all references) confer some sort of authority or stewardship on the holder.
Why didn't Jesus give all the disciples the keys?

You're saying that Jesus gave the literal keys to heaven to a man? In other words, that one must go through Jesus AND man to get to God?

2. Jesus did not write anything down himself.
Chapter and Verse?

We KNOW He could READ!

NIV Luke 4:17-21
17. The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
18. "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed,
19. to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."
20. Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him,
21. and he began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."

This is not the same as proving that Jesus himself quoted it.

So, what did He just read from???

I'm sorry to hear of your husband, and brother, and friend.
That line stopped me for a moment, and then I re-read it. Although I have had no pain associated with that war(?), I could feel yours.

I touched down briefly at Saigon's jungley little African Queen scene evoking airport in '61 on my way to Bangkok.
18 months later, going home, I landed their again, at something that looked like Dallas-Fort Worth!

A proper evaluation of Justin is way beyond me, since my reading of him has been cursory and because he is hard to follow anyway. I think the Church regards him as orthodox, a good source of current doctrine and someone who is trying not always successfully to mesh what philosophy he knows with Christian doctrine. Of course, there is a lot of his stuff that has been lost. I personally don't see anything in what he says as consistent with the Scriptures.

Looks great. I think I'll send my own to the local parish (minus the "not Catholic" part).
