Re: The precise point about Paul where Georgios Sidirountios meets Joseph Turmel

Thanks for starting the thesis. When I was writing I was not trying to become Christian again. I assume you met a hurdle/s just in my comments above. For over two million years our mammal character is designed by nature to follow leaders. We also are designed by nature to have a sense of justice. W...

Re: The precise point about Paul where Georgios Sidirountios meets Joseph Turmel

Hi Giusepe. Thank you for bringing this here. Could you please give me a reference for Joseph Turnel, title, page number? I do not know his work. I don't know anything about the man but this book might be of interest. Think I'll download the kindle sample. In his autobiography Joseph Turmel (1859–1...

It is not you. Most browsers cannot open these files. You need to be an expert in IT nowadays to do the most simple things. If you go to GeorgeSaos.com you will find my email. From there I could send you my thesis in Pdf format in an attachment.
Thanks.

Re: Sacrifice of Jesus to "purchase" our souls from???

"Dawkins' charge" is entirely irrelevant. This has nothing to do with any value judgement placed on Christian theology. Its purely a matter of understanding what they heck they were talking about. "What was being said" not "The merits of what was being said". It is cle...

Re: Sacrifice of Jesus to "purchase" our souls from???

This issue of the sacrifice of Jesus being the price paid to purchase mankind from a possessor is I think extremely important. Indeed I think this matter lies at the heart of understanding the Pauline scriptures. Richard Dawkins: Among all the ideas ever to occur to a nasty human mind (Paul’s of co...
