Variation on the Ontological Argument

The Book of John states: [1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] He was in the beginning with God; [3] all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. A Being this Powerful could not have simply appeared on the Wo...

Re: Everyone will be salted with fire.

Mark 9: [42] "Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung round his neck and he were thrown into the sea. This is a Herod Story. "Did anyone ever throw "great millstones" into the sea?" (Aramaic:...

Re: Demons and unclean spirits in Mark.

Hello Ben -- I believe there is a Pattern to this. You also have to see women, for example, as Symbols of nations and peoples (leading to Mary and Martha). "Unclean Spirits": Roman Sycophants. The Godly (esp. the Priests) have been given the Way to God and there is no way that Rome, conque...

Re: Was Jesus a false prophet?

Mark 14: 55 - 59 (RSV): [55] Now the chief priests and the whole council sought testimony against Jesus to put him to death; but they found none. [56] For many bore false witness against him, and their witness did not agree. [57] And some stood up and bore false witness against him, saying, [58] &qu...
