Re: Using the Septuagint

Paidion wrote: The Septuagint having been translated into Greek from the ancient Hebrew without doubt gives the sense of that Hebrew better than the Masoretic text, of which we have no existing partial manuscripts until the ninth century. Even in the tenth century, the Masoretic text of the entire ...

Re: Using the Septuagint

Sundry inklings: (1) The Herrell article is plainly anti-Semitic; you can google the author's name for further insight on the author's objectivity. My favorite part of the article is where it claims that Jews twisted the Hebrew text of Isaiah in order to combat Christianity. If so, it seems that the...

Re: Prayers to the Saints/Mary

I suppose they would say that G-d provides for the mechanics in his ability, as the posting indicates.

Re: Does The Ark Represent Jesus? or Mary?

Or, the ark represents a divinely-ordered watercraft that saved eight people and a bunch of animals, and some Christians have a creative imagination. ;) Let us take the type to its rational extension: G-d says "I am bringing the destruction of evil, so set about building the means of your survival a...

Re: Patron Saint Joseph of Home Sales

What? A church with over a billion members worldwide has some who are laughably peculiar? How could this be? This is folk religion, and we should be measured in our reaction to this. Sometimes G-d stoops to meet us even in our sillyland. A child's cry for help, however comical it might seem on one l...

Re: Is Allah a different God?

So when a Muslim prays to Allah, who answers their prayers? And when a Jew prays to Hashem, who answers their prayers? And when a Christian prays to Jesus, who answers their prayers? If you or I had a loved one who was mentally confused, and imagined that we were a large pink bird named Frank, would...
