Re: One down
jar writes:
So you agree that prophecy can be transmitted through an intermediary such as an angel?
To which Faith replied:
No, not until I've reread the books of Daniel, Revelation and Zechariah to check out whether it was ever the case in the Bible, or until somebody produces a Bible quote clearly showing that an angel did actually give prophecy as well as explain it.
Faith, have ever read ANY of the Bible? It's beginning to sound like you're just like most Fundamentalists and Literalists and have never even read the Book you're quoting. Who, may I ask, spoke to Joseph relating the birth of what he believed to be a bastard?
Then jar asked:
If so, is the Christian GOD the same person as the Jewish GOD?
to which Faith replied:
Yes.
So again I ask, "Do you agree that prophecy may be transmitted through beings other than GOD (if you do not agree then Jesus is nothing but a bastard) and that the GOD of Christians is the same GOD as the GOD of the Jews?
And this really is on topic as you will find when we work through this.
Please excuse my slowness but I'm just an old man and can't handle big ideas and concepts. I'm afraid I have to break them down into little pieces to get my old mind to fathom them.

Re: One down
Prophecy is NOT simply predicting future events. If that were true then Mose would not be a prophet. Are you sure you've read the Bible?
So again, "Can prophecy only be transmitted directly by GOD or can {S}He send word by an intermediary (which would mean you are again really limiting GOD), and is the GOD of the Jews the same GOD as that of the Christians?"

Re: ...and the hatred lives on...
Jazzns
Please understand that there are many who will help try to counter attitudes such as we encounter from the more fanatical factions of Christianity, Islam or Judaism.
