I wonder if the literalistic adherents realize the the measurement of the Temple itself as described by Ezekiel did not include a height.
Or that the measurements exceed the current area by 3x - 4x.

I agree with Doom. I've been following Trump for over 40 years. He isn't above deception to get what he wants. Case in point. He bought property in Manhattan but didn't have the money to finish the job. He hired construction workers and heavy equipment brought to the site. When he met the loan offic...

I was wrong about the new moon thing; eclipses are of course (duh) a full moon thing. And I found old eclipse dates: Old eclipse dates . For 30 A.D.: May 06 Jun 04 Nov 28 For 33 A.D.: Apr 03 Sep 27 So do any of those 5 dates coincide with the Sabbath? ETA: One thing that I found problematic about d...

Not that the date is all that important in the grand scheme of things, but I'm in the camp that leans towards a date of 30AD. I think he should go there in 5 years. No, the crucifixion was on April 3, AD 33. That is the only date on which all the scriptural data, including a lunar eclipse, happened...

I read the same thing that Doom said: It's more for restricting Muslims than religion in general.

I think that era was influenced by Godspell, which in turn may have reflected the Jesus Movement of So. CA. I heard of Godspell before I heard of the J. M., so which came first, I'm not sure.

Obviously, not in this case. Like father, like son.

My DNA is about 1/3 Scottish. On paper it should be about 1/8. Since some of my English ancestors were from West Yorkshire, perhaps there was some intermarriage between English and Scottish.

Besides, I'm short, and I wouldn't even get in a helicopter again, let alone fly one!

I've heard of it. Only heard the urban legend. I like your assessment better.

In my part of the world, media simply carried the headline "Mary is not the co-redeemer, says the Catholic Church". Social media comments boxes had the usual unintelligent comments, mostly by Protestants and Muslims. "Finally, the Pope started reading the Bible", someone sent. S...

I'm trying to understand what a barycenter is.
Is it like saying that if a mass at one end of a fulcrum is greater than at the other end, then the fulcrum needs to be moved closer to the larger mass?

further theological development is required. Well, whose responsibility is this? If not the Pope and/or the CDC, then who? If a theologian were to write a thorough explanation, then the Vatican would have to weigh in on that. So, why not just do it yourself in the first place?! That's like saying, ...
