Hello Interplanner, The OP and previous video is a good intro. to the UB,.....and we've covered lots in the thread already. Open for dialogue if interested. You can also use the 'search thread' feature for looking up any subject we may have covered already.

intellectual honesty....... intellectual honesty....... According to your own concept of such, since there was only the OT and some inter-testamental writings extant at the time of Jesus.....we have no litmus text for authenticity for Jesus approving of what was written about him...

Your assumtpion above is just that, your own biased personal religious opinion, self-serving at that. Comical actually. Its the same ole script. You have to face reality with your judgments with the consequences when you discover they are untrue. :wave:

Thats your assumption which you cannot prove, let alone prove your 'god' is any more real. - and thats the truth. Reality itself is what actually exists....here, now and eternally. It is prior to and beyond even these more petty and diverse religious opinions and concepts, however some religious...

speaking from ignorance....... speaking from ignorance....... You have yet to read even the first 3 papers of the UB so are unqualifed to critique it and refuse to do so. You cannot add to the discussion having not read the theology from the book itself, but can only presume, presoppose and...

All human beings are children of God. "We are his offspring". God is the Original Father of all. You can put a qualifier on that if you like but it would be your own 'spin' on it. Of course a tree is known by its fruit, but all mortals sin from time to time since we are all evolving, growing...

Already addressed here & here. Furthermore, your quote from John above does not necessarily imply anything about blood-atonement, since drinking human blood NEVER is a means of atonement. Jesus was speaking figuratively about nourishment, he being the bread of life. Only in John are these...

Not quite............ Not quite............ Having refused to research or read the UB, I dont see how that qualifies him to be an informed participant in the discussion. This goes for everyone else here on the thread. If one is not willing to learn the subject, engage in a real dialogue...

Yes, the UB would agree with the latter, since one who recognizes the truth and value of Jesus teachings will honor and DO THEM. It's not rocket science,...but a matter of both intelligence and faith. Now as to those worshipping the 'Bible' as 'God',...this can be a form of idolatry....since...

Lets get to the truth here...... Lets get to the truth here...... If you'd like to challenge what I wrote specifically, address what concept you disagree with, - actually deal with the propositions I shared, not simply come here to troll the thread as usual, offering nothing pertaining to...

sin, sacrifice and atonement...... sin, sacrifice and atonement...... Let us continue to explore the UB's explanation of 'Sin, Sacrifice and Atonement' in paper 89 - E1w7kGvWaxU Paper 89 (text) Important to note is the 'redefinition' of 'sin' being the deliberate disloyalty to Deity, while...

The essentials The essentials I see you're still stuck on the 'blood atonement' concept. For those reading along we've already covered that here (see all linked commentaries). The good news includes the fact that we are already children of God, and in that fact, coupled by faith in the...

Sonship with God is the core of the gospel message Sonship with God is the core of the gospel message And here we see the 'gist' of the gospel of Jesus as presented in the papers,....its central theme of we being God's children, and the goodnews of realizing his 'kingdom' within that...

Note for posting..... Note for posting..... Ad hominems do not contribute to the quality of discussion here, as such is veering from the subject at hand, so while we are bantering away from pertinent subjects,...its important that we try to stay on topic. I'll try to comment on some of the...

There's wholesale genocide too, and getting 'stoned' to death for minor violations like gathering wood on the Sabbath, disrespecting parents, etc. - modern Jews however interpret these 'metaphorically' more or less these days,....since some things just cant be taken too 'literally' in modern...

Wrong again........... Wrong again........... Your assumption is presumptuous, beyond a simple recommendation of at least familiarizing yourself with the TEXT in order to have an informed and fair discussion about the TEXT. Understand? What thread are you on? Hello? I simply suggested anyone...

Again you assume many things, and apparently have not been exposed to many of my other older threads which represent study on various other religious traditions and scriptural texts here (this is just a snapshot). Furthermore, Caino and I have different religious backgrounds and even approach...

Serving reality....... Serving reality....... 'Skimming' doesn't facilitate a genuine discussion, let alone merit respect towards a fellow board member. Such does not constitute a true dialogue. Perhaps you haven't yet stimulated the creative intelligence or intellectual versatility to...

meta-tations................. meta-tations................. It appears any benefit or interest is reserved for readers here following along, since he's not interested in discussion but is here to deride, harass and ridicule. Most serious readers probably just pass over his posts, I mean those...
