Yeah, thanks Paul - saw that after I sent the message through. You can see stuff without signing up, but it's full of adspace all over the place. Yuck!! ... --...

I have not seen many E-mails from this group lately. Is there a discussion taking place somewhere else. I have finished the Secret Message and may need to go...
Hi Steve, Maybe I misunderstood your email, but are you discounting the expiatory death idea? In my mind the life and death of Jesus can be seen with both the...
Hi Steve – could you say briefly what Wink believes about the crucifixion? Thx David ... From: NKOC@yahoogroups.com [mailto:NKOC@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf...
Not discounting at all--but I had never heard any other idea period. I think both have relavance. Too often though we or atleast I have tried to shove the...
In the words of Wink: "The Gospels are at great pains to show that the charges against Jesus do not hold water, not in order to avoid suspicion of subversion,...
It sounds as if the logical implication of Wink's analysis is that the God who is the Father of Jesus is not the God of the Old Testament who did use violence...

Hello, I was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction. One of the things holding me to orthodoxy is prophecy. It really does seem like the...
Hi Chris - you could look into preterism. Preterists believe that all biblical prophesy was completed at the destruction of the temple and the sack of...
Chris - Try preterist.org. If Jesus and his disciples all believed he would return in their generation, why are we looking to our future for his return? What...
... This statement sounds very troubling to me. Why would Israel and what happens to it (or any other country!) suddenly matter less because of Christianity?...
I think that the biblical prophecy contains both the warning and the promise. I don't think it takes a Bible scholar to predict where the society is heading...
... Sorry that this is so long, it is partly taken from something I wrote elsewhere, but I hope that it might be helpful. When you refer to "prophesy" and...
