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 |

Nee ner nee ner nee ner.
Care to discuss what you said? Jesus is the Logos, the Eternal Word.
He is not the Bible, the Book.

Eddie can't get off work, He says someone has to work to pay the bills.
That's derived from Pagan philosophy, most of us here have found a better way. Lol
Jacksonville (Mayport). JJ and my Mom and I.
Jacksonville's about 5 Cracker Barrel's, or one six pack from here, or for you being from Piggly Wiggly country, about an hour and forty five minutes, I know miles mean nothing to Texans. Lol

Hey Jesse, welcome to the threads.
Dave welcomed me into the threads in a similar fashion as soon as he realized I wasn't a Catholic, so don't take it personal, just take revenge! Kidding, heh, heh, heh.

Once you've eaten a Cracker Barrel breakfast, Waffle Houses don't count.

Which Homer are you talking about? Homer Briarhopper or Homer Simpson? :>)With Robby either one would be acceptable. :-)
To: Invincibly Ignorant
Lol. This must be the type of Cabala madonna is into. I expect so. On the other hand, it is something, which is better than mindless hedonism and materialism. Maybe it will lead her and others into something more serious.

One would hope that she has found
something of substance, but with her track record of trying on various personas, we have to wait and see. A full apology for her actions in helping to sexualise children in our culture would be a good start to a serious evaluation.

To think that we can somehow distill them and guard them from one another so that they don't change the meaning of the text strikes me as a naive task. I agree. My point was, we need to remain aware that speculation is speculation, not absolute fact. And likewise, whatever criticism can tell us about scripture, it doesn't tell us what the scriptures historically meant, and what they mean to believers today. It analyzes the "body" of the text, but cannot perceive the "soul".
These historical events are given meaning through the theological grid that Scripture superimpose upon them ... The meaning given to these events as sacrilized secular history is the crucial factor.
Again I agree. I've said in the past that, whatever one thinks of the inspired nature or the reliability of the Hebrew scriptures, it at minimum can be said that they reflect what the Jewish people believed about their history and their relationship with God. It can alternatively be seen as God's gradual self-revelation (the "insider history") or as man's gradually evolving concept of the divine.

The best part was reading Macks, "where are you", I know yall are out there,""someone post something" posts. :) Heheheh...
To: RobbyS
I mean that we cannot pretend that Homer and Isaiah can be placed on the same footing. For academic purposes, why not? See my above post to Sass (and also the post of hers to which I was replying).

Did you tell us this thread will only handle 60K post?
