The only reason you 'like' this contradiction is because you think you can use it to win an argument. But the point shouldn't be to demand that people change your mind when you know in advance you aren't listening to what they are saying. It might be more productive to seek out friends or join Meet ...

It sounds like an 'eyewitness' to you because you want it to sound like an 'eye-witness.' Every child that starts playing football thinks they are going to grow and play in the NFL ... that is until they test those ideas and find out they aren't that good. If you want someone to prove your ideas are...

Exactly. These people are so reactionary. I am friends with most of them on Facebook or was corresponding directly with them when the initial testing came out. They were running scared and settled on this new set of arguments (and an incredible public relations blitz) to make everyone forget that th...

Why is the entire approach of this group so narcissistic? It is about the ideas not the person. My first major in university was psychology. I think there is a fundamental disconnect and it has to do with the differing socializing habits of males and females. The problem has a lot to do with the num...

I researched the company's claims for historical accuracy. They seem to be pretty good - enough for some re-assurance. The rest of my comments stand. I think the ancients already accepted astrology.

ἡ θύρα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ The echo is found in the gospel of John ἐγὼ εἰμι ἡ θύρα τῶν πρόβατων. I, and no other, am the door of the sheep. The Aramaic equivalent is בבא. I wonder whether Jesus was really saying that he was the father or whether Pharisees were asking about the Father. There are countless rabb...

Well I might be wrong still. But it would make sense of the symbolism of the crucifixion finally.

Ha ha ha I am going to have to reference Robert Tulip in my book. Mon Dieu, que la vie est bête. Please someone disprove some part of this. For love of God. I can't believe that these people who know nothing at all about the Bible. Rape the texts associated with it. Haven't a clue about what is and ...

I found this according to one writer cited by Acharya: In his first labour Hercules strangled the serpent, as did Cristna, Bacchus, &c. This is the sun triumphing over the powers of hell and darkness ; and, as he increases, he prevails, till he is crucified in the heavens, or is decussated in th...

Can someone here make an independent analysis of Robert Tulip's evidence for the 21 CE (doesn't have to be 'the spring') as the year we 'the earth' entered Pisces? Is that an accurate statement based on this 'star gazer' alone? Let's leave aside the question of whether or not the ancients could have...
