The Neverending Story
An ongoing debate on Scripture, Tradition, History and Interpretation.

Statesmen may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue. - John Adams

Greetings, friends! Due to technical problems on our old thread with the introduction of the new forum software, I decided to go ahead and create a new thread free of any sequencing issues. Please continue the regular discussion here.

I didn't want to say this on the other thread, but I can't believe nobody complained that we didn't have MARY as a keyword. I mean you aren't giving her the respect and deference she deserves, right?

[JHavard]

Is that you Big Mack? You look different over here, where’s Becky? Was it something I said?

Hi, I wanted to follow up on your suggestion of posting a weekly Torah portion discussion thread. I did some searching and most of the sites that have something online for this post commentary only, not the actual scripture. But Chabad has an excellent page for this:

Parshah

You can click on the text link in the right column for the first portion, and from there for the full reading.

If you need any HTML help, let me know!

[malakhi]

Mary who?

;o)

[JHavard]

Iowegian, would you say something profound for me, so when I look back at the beginning of these threads in years to come, I'll impress myself.

Please use "JHavard", Thanks (^g^) JH

I lost weight from the long trip over here. :) Becky in bed, but she was saying something about you today, but I can't repeat it. :)

How do you like our new home, new thread, new format, alot of bitc#ing going on all around us, eye of the storm....Toto I don't think were in Kansas any more. :)

I prefer churches that preach and teach against abortion and don't cover up for child molesters. It's not an either/or thing, you know.

[history_matters]

Iowegian,
Since this is a new-ish sort of thread, it would be very exciting if you could say something that wasn't aimed at offending Roman Catholics either directly or indirectly.

Hey Jim, saw you talking about the bread and wine (grapejuice) on the "old" thread...last week was the first time I've ever did the bread and wine thing...it was pretty awesome to think that I was performing a ceremony that's been handed down for thousands of years and to think of the link back to Christ. Truly moving. Did you feel that way for you first one?
