Re: Is an eye for an eye a good standard of justice?

Jesus seemed to think so. Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you..." (Mk. 4:244) The notion that "all sin is the same" is one of the most deplorable and cowardly aspects of Christian popular thinking (and even the one...

Is an eye for an eye a good standard of justice?

Is an eye for an eye a good standard of justice? God does not seem to think so. Our standard of justice as shown in the scriptures and in most governments is based on an eye for an eye where the penalty has a relationship to the severity of the offence. God does not go by this standard. In his eyes,...

Re: Can you confirm the Jewish view of our elevation in Eden

Cooperation is good for survival and is our default position. Babies prove it it.

We so called adults are the ones who must be retrained.

Re: Can you confirm the Jewish view of our elevation in Eden

Apologies for my error. Historically, the Jews have shown a healthy discontent with God. We should all hate those who would lord a God over us. After all, are we not free men? Why would we want a master? Compare the freedom loving Jewish and Gnostic Christian Jesus to the boot licking Roman construc...

Re: Can you confirm the Jewish view of our elevation in Eden

Indeed. That is what we think as well. Jesus said that one must have the heart of a child to know heaven and God. You might want to get off your idiot adult mode and try it out. Regards DL He said the mind of a child. Exactly where the laws of God are written. Knowing the words does not mean that y...

Re: Can you confirm the Jewish view of our elevation in Eden

Myths can certainly get nutty. Especially Gnostic myths. I do not agree that looking to the old Jewish tradition as a dead end. For me, it leads to the real original myths, so to speak, that came from Sumer and Egypt. I agree with your last. That is why the Gnostic messiah is a teacher and not reall...
