The British Government has formally recognized the Druids as a religion. As half a Celt, I think it is great. As a Jew, with Pagan friends, it is about time. For, as far as I can see, nature always wins. I just nature in my G-d. Others find it where they may.

Many Christians believe that the Jews killed Jesus. Or more factually, that they got the Romans to do it.

What if they failed to do it. Jesus was released by the Romans, and was once more free to preach. What then? Does he grow old and die? The rises from the grave and then all the other stuff? Does he fight the Romans in the revolution in 72 CE? What happens?

And if in fact G-d made the Jews convince the Romans to kill Jesus, was it then the Jews fault?

"Last night many Christians and Catholics went midnight services."

How does it feel when a major news station omits Catholics from the community of Christians? (This was a true into to the story)

Hope it is a good one for you and to all here in R&S in these very hard times.

The last two weeks I keep having the same short dream. I am at a stop light, and about 10 feet from the car in front of me. My foot is off the brake and I am slowly rolling toward the car in front. My foot is stuck under a piece of cloth and I can't lift it to the brake. I am so afraid I will hit the car, but just before I do, I finally able to stop the car. Any input would be appreciated.

One year, I got called upon to address the congregation on what being Jewish meant to me, and how it related to the High holidays. I got up and approached the podium and had decided to open with humor. I spoke about my New Year Eve plans and how to deal with the hangover the next day. So much for Rosh Hashana, and then I talked about my day long BBQ on Yom Kippur. I got a laugh, and then got serious. I actually enjoy the fast.

Now, to add to this, 1) there is a question above. 2) The people here, mostly the JPAA/JPA has renewed feelings of why I love being Jewish. Shabot Shalom. Happy Holidays.

Several centuries ago, the Pope decreed that all the Jews in Italy had to convert to Catholicism or leave.

There was a huge outcry from the Jewish community, so the Pope offered a deal. He'd have a debate with a religious leader of the Jewish community. If the Jews won, they could stay in Italy; if the Pope won, they'd have to convert or leave.

The Jewish people met and picked an aged and wise rabbi to represent them in the debate. However, as the rabbi spoke no Italian, and the Pope spoke no Yiddish, they agreed that it would be a "silent" debate.

On the chosen day the Pope and rabbi sat opposite each other. The Pope raised his hand and showed three fingers. The rabbi looked back and raised one finger. Next, the Pope waved his finger around his head. The rabbi pointed to the ground where he sat. The Pope brought out a communion wafer and a chalice of wine. The rabbi pulled out an apple.

With that, the Pope stood up and declared himself beaten and said that the rabbi was too clever. The Jews could stay in Italy. Later the cardinals met with the Pope and asked him what had happened. The Pope said, 'First I held up three fingers to represent the Trinity. He responded by holding up a single finger to remind me there is still only one God common to both our beliefs. Then, I waved my finger around my head to show him that God was all around us. He responded by pointing to the ground to show that God was also right here with us. I pulled out the wine and wafer to show that God absolves us of all our sins. He pulled out an apple to remind me of the original sin. He bested me at every move and I could not continue.'

Meanwhile, the Jewish community gathered to ask the rabbi how he'd won. 'I haven't a clue' the rabbi said. 'First, he told me that we had three days to get out of Italy, so I gave him the finger. Then he told me that the whole country would be cleared of Jews, and I told him that we were staying right here'. 'And then what?' asked a woman.

'Who knows?' said the rabbi. 'He took out his lunch, so I took out mine.'

1. Is Jesus the son of G-d or a co-equal part, or something else?

2. If Jesus G-d, then he knew he was going to be crusified, then he never really died, so he never really rose from the dead, is that right or wrong? Did he only join the Trinity after? Was he cut off from G-d for the time he was on Earth?

3. I guess i am trying to figure out how G-d can die for our sins, if he cannot really die?

Please give any scripture that answers. I am not offering an opinion, except an atheist would answer there is no such thing.

Thanks.

When did this start? Really? At what point in history, did anyone who did not believe in Christ as the son of G-d start going to hell? Did everyone before your messiah go there? Did it start the day Jesus died on the cross? The day he rose again? The next week, month, year, decade, century or when?

Of the 90 billion souls that have lived on earth in all of human kind, did only the 10 billion or so Christians get in to heaven? Are the other 80 billion just waste product in hell?

When did the "only way to the father is through me," take affect?

I have seen so many questions about Jews not accepting the Christian Gospel, what is wrong with the LDS one?

How can violent outbursts be broken into either autistic action vs the low IQ issues?

When such person acts out, how do you break them into one condition or the others.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - At least eight people were killed in gunfire at a Jewish school near Jerusalem on Thursday, the ZAKA emergency service said.

What do you think?

Witnesses said two gunmen entered the yeshiva, or religious school, near Jerusalem and opened fire.

Ambulance workers said they were treating several people wounded.

An Israeli police spokesman said he was checking the report.

to vote for him if he wins the nomination? I worked for Bobby in 68, but could not go to Eugene because of what he said.

How do others feel?

All the time I keep hearing that there should be laws against it and in favor of it. What right does the USA have to legislate about youth in Asia?

I took it into the Apple Store and left it for servicing. I got it back and works fine, but the paperwork says they just ran a dynastic and could not find anything wrong. Is it possible they did fix something, but for some reason do not want to say? It use to heat up quite hot, but now is just gets warm (The under side). Any thoughts?
