Re: The Mishna, etc

. This thread is a repository of information about the Mishna, particularly information that might help understand it during the 1st to 4th centuries, and possible influences it or its development might have had on the development of Christianity.

Re: Should we declare gods public enemy # 1.? Do you understand why we call immoral gods, “Gods”?

The Trinity concept is a stupid expression of the godhead and it is not surprising that it had to be forced down Christianity's throat. Thinkers reject it out of hand. Regards DL The Trinity is only one way of designing god and that alone is no more difficult to understand than other religious ' re...

As an example of the evolution of ideas in the political field I offer Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin in the history of Marxism. Marx offered the possibility of change with no r...
