budaatum: That context will include the minds of those who "trembled and stood afar off" when they heard "the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking", and the minds of those who wrote the story, and the minds of those who now read it and claim they heard God, along with just about every major thought on the book and the written word throughout the history of time, and our collective context, and our individual personal contexts too plus some.
Its not like your context is my context (perhaps due to different schooling, upbringing, effort, capability, interests, resources, time, location, etc), and we obviously do not place the words we've been using in the same context, as you must have noticed.
That's why I like Jesus by the way. He is written to have said, "love your God", which many do claim they do, then he added, "love your neighbour", which most think they do though they don't bother with their neighbours context.

Rosement: I cannot obey the law of the creator of the universe that you believe in because the creator I know is different from the creator you know. My own creator, Jesus Christ of Nazareth wants me to listen to the teaching of His apostles, so I will not ignore their teachings.
Ephesians 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Ok it is enough. Your God is sucking bress.. No noise.

budaatum: Hack what you read please.
Are you suggesting the language of God that was very distinct when we read Moses heard God was, "the thunderings, the lightning flashes, the sound of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking" that the people saw?
Apart from the fact that they obviously did not hear nor see any God (except perhaps for Ogun the God of Thunder), do you seriously believe evidence provided by those who "trembled and stood afar off"?
Sonmvayina, can you see even God coming from what you call "pagan" as opposed to what I'd call the religion of understanding what you read? I clearly understand, but I sincerely doubt you do. We are not present when does things or events occurred. All we try to do is to make sense of context. Which I have always advocated, hence I opened the thread " the letter killeth" but people like MaxInDHouse and Co will want to try and interprete them literally ....and even you sometimes.. |

If I want to follow your doctrines, I would simply convert to your religion and I am not interested in your religion. I only practice Christianity, please let me be.
Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Well, it is the law the creator of the universe decreed for every human being on earth. Even if you want to worship your idol(Jesus christ) I am not stopping you but at least obey the creators commandments. Don't make the mistake of following Paul writtings he is not God. He is only going to lead you astray.. |

Real jews practice Judaism which is the religion of their ancestors. The Roman empire created the Jesus character and Christianity on the order of emperor Constantine who wanted a single religion for his empire. The jews follow the Torah. Which is meant to last forever. The Messiah God promised to send them 8f they behave well is a normal human being from the line of David. ... The romans just added their idolatry at the back of the Jewish holy book to make it sellable to the gullible public.....no more no less. |

When was Jesus born?
A. Popular myth puts his birth on December 25th in the year 1 C.E.
B. The New Testament gives no date or year for Jesus’ birth. The earliest gospel – St. Mark’s, written about 65 CE – begins with the baptism of an adult Jesus. This suggests that the earliest Christians lacked interest in or knowledge of Jesus’ birthdate.
C. The year of Jesus birth was determined by Dionysius Exiguus, a Scythian monk, “abbot of a Roman monastery. His calculation went as follows:
a. In the Roman, pre-Christian era, years were counted from ab urbe condita (“the founding of the City” [Rome]). Thus 1 AUC signifies the year Rome was founded, 5 AUC signifies the 5th year of Rome’s reign, etc.
b. Dionysius received a tradition that the Roman emperor Augustus reigned 43 years, and was followed by the emperor Tiberius.
c. Luke 3:1,23 indicates that when Jesus turned 30 years old, it was the 15th year of Tiberius reign.
d. If Jesus was 30 years old in Tiberius’ reign, then he lived 15 years under Augustus (placing Jesus birth in Augustus’ 28th year of reign).
e. Augustus took power in 727 AUC. Therefore, Dionysius put Jesus birth in 754 AUC.
f. However, Luke 1:5 places Jesus’ birth in the days of Herod, and Herod died in 750 AUC – four years before the year in which Dionysius places Jesus birth.
D. Joseph A. Fitzmyer – Professor Emeritus of Biblical Studies at the Catholic University of America, member of the Pontifical Biblical Commission, and former president of the Catholic Biblical Association – writing in the Catholic Church’s official commentary on the New Testament[1], writes about the date of Jesus’ birth, “Though the year [of Jesus birth is not reckoned with certainty, the birth did not occur in AD 1. The Christian era, supposed to have its starting point in the year of Jesus birth, is based on a miscalculation introduced ca. 533 by Dionysius Exiguus.”
E. The DePascha Computus, an anonymous document believed to have been written in North Africa around 243 CE, placed Jesus birth on March 28. Clement, a bishop of Alexandria (d. ca. 215 CE), thought Jesus was born on November 18. Based on historical records, Fitzmyer guesses that Jesus birth occurred on September 11, 3 BC |

Marduk is more akin to Jesus than a supreme diety.
The letter must have killeth ye.
The stories are just stories until you decide that Mr G-d Hashem commanded something or the other.
The stories are different and the interpretations are varied. But when they are similar, they are probably copied. Your dear Jews are famous for copying.
Pray tell, what is the message?
You already said this. Which Is? |

KnownUnknown: Answer the questions if you are capable.
I did not call you Jewish. I said you worship Jews.
The Jews don’t recognize your Chukwu. History is replete with the Jews not recognizing other peoples gods. Their sacred book is filled with Hashem commanding genocide. So the chukwu and hashem are not the same.
Igbos and Jews are not the only ones who have a concept on one “creator god”. Even trinitarians of every stripe believe in one creator god. The Hellenized Jews of Alexandria who created the New Testament scriptures were trinitarians. Even you understood the trinity, then you wouldn’t be disputing the Christian’s concept of god. Lastly, there is no jew anywhere citing chukwu to support belief in hashem, but here you are.
HE is not a man but HE commands, HE doles out pardons, HE forgives, and HE has taboos and abomination but HE is not a man.
Authors of the Old Testament did write that he has sons. Maybe he decided to sacrifice one of them. However, if you understood the esoteric meaning of the scriptures, you’d understand why the authors wrote that only the incarnation of “god” can serve as sacrifice for the “original sin”. But you still think god is real so you are just as blind as all the Christian’s you criticize.
Hellenized Jews of Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt wrote the Jesus story. Was Philo of Alexandria a Jew or not? The essenses, the therapetaue, the Nazarites, are some of the names referring to the eclectic Jewish philosophers of Alexandria who wrote the allegories. The Romans merely adopted them.
Careful research leads to erudition. If you do more than “simple research” you’d know that Serapis is an earlier incarnation of the same “god” as Jesus. If you do more than careful research, you did see that the ritual artifacts of Serapis is just one o the multiple “pagan” symbols the Christians adopted after they solidified their position in the Roman government.
You think you are knowledgeable but you can’t even decide if Jesus was created in Nicea or Serapis was converted to Jesus in Ephesus. I never know you were also a dummy. Sorry to say. Hashem = Chukwu = Marduk = Olodumare = Osanobua = Abasi ... The letter killeth...my dear. The letter killeth. The message and spiritual truth is what is consistent. Not the story. The stories are all stories. Nothing more. Learn the message in them. It is just the nomenclature that is different. The messages in the stories are consistent... The jews used Cain and Ebel The babylonian used Enki and Enlil The igbos used Emeka and ifeanyi The Greeks used Zeus and poseidon The messages in the story are the same. |
