TRUTH -- ALWAYS INCOMPLETE

Truth is what we pursue but never know. He who says he knows, in reality, knows not. They who think he who says he knows, knows, know less. "The Truth is out there." (X-Files) It is that light in the far distance, but it is not here and now apprehended. Maybe that is why our individuals truths vary... Sign in to see full entry.

JESUS WAS A RABBI

That's what Yeshua was called in the Gospels -- original Greek is Rabbi where KJV renders "Master", or "Teacher" -- Eusebius and those who decided what goes into the New Testament originally did not want connection to Judaism.

Only in the New Testament are there proscriptions against women being prominent. This is from the Apostle Paul. He had a Hellenistic instruction, therefore a more Hellenistic viewpoint of things. This is why he became the apostle to the Gentiles. He conformed to the Hellenistic world, which viewed... Sign in to see full entry.
