Having read this response again I decided to set the record straight for anyone else who reads it. I have never portrayed my country as a manipulated puppet. The UK went into Iraq because Tony Blair our prime Minister at the time was convinced that Saddam Hussain had WMDs and Parliament...

You are right. In your analogy the central facts are that there was a road accident and people saw it. In the resurrection account the facts are that the tomb was empty, and angels told his followers that Jesus had risen. Trying to square the details in different resurrection accounts only...

If we quibble about who went where and when we miss the whole point of the text. The main message is that Jesus rose from the dead as he said he would.

As the Chinese might say we live in interesting times! There will be Fireworks before Bonfire night this year. Roll on the General Election.

I wasn't sure where to place this thread so I played safe and stuck it here. I read a recent news report that scrolls recovered from Pompey are being read for the first time. The scrolls were part of a library found there. Because they are badly charred and fragile up until now they were...

I am fully aware that there are more than two sects in Islam but most of the worlds Muslim population are either Sunni or Shiite. The Sunni branch being the majority. I didn't intend to write a book about Islam here. I don't need to be a political or religious bigot to be devoted to Jesus...

correction to my post second paragraph should have read - factions fighting in Syria seem not to know where they are.......... This five minute limit really is irritating

To begin with You don't need to depend on Wikipedia to know about Domitian and the year of the four Emperors. Its common knowledge among historians of that period. We don't know when or how long John was at Patmos. Domitian officially became Emperor in AD81 following the death of Titus. One...

An interesting response. So Obama is a die hard Muslim. Please tell me whether he is a Sunni Muslim or a Shiite Muslim. In case you don't know Sunni and Shiite Muslims hate each other. Iran is a Shiite country so a Sunni supporting Iran would have been rather strange especially when Sunni...

This information is on Wikipedia under their page about Domitian. The section you need is titled The rise of the Flavian Dynasty sub titled The year of the four Emperors. I had seen this mentioned in a book about Revelation before but cant remember the title in any case it didn't go into...

Obama and European leaders made an agreement with Iran. Trump scuppered it. Question is was that really because Iran was secretly producing more fuel or because it was Obama who set up the agreement ?. Remember Iraq and Saddams weapons of mass destruction which no one's found to this day...

Domitian was the the younger brother of Titus they were the sons of Vespasian. When Vespasian became Emperor in AD 69 following the death of Nero there was a power struggle with two rival claims to the throne. Because of this Vespasian didn't arrive in Rome until AD70. During his absence...

Yes one or both of the sons wives must have something in their lineage that was passed on

What it says about not adding or taking away in Revelation only applies to that book which John sent to seven churches. They didn't have leather bound Bibles in the first Century not even the KJV. Martin Luther didn't add or subtract from Revelation. He got rid of it altogether. Books like...

All truth comes from God wherever its found because God is truth. Jude had no problem quoting a verse from Enoch in his letter. Paul quotes at least one Pagan Greek Philosopher in his letters. Martin Luther didn't think James,Jude, 1 and 2 Peter and Revelation were inspired. He called James...

To me this is really a puzzling response. The Book of Jubilees is neither Gnostic or a Gospel. Both Jubilees and Enoch are ancient Hebrew books and were around centuries before any Gnostic Gospels were written. Copies of Enoch were found with the dead Sea scrolls. I'm not certain whether...

Noah's family were considered righteous. Physically they had the same genetic fault as the rest of mankind because after the flood the Israelite's were still coming up against Giants.

There is also more information in the book of Jubilees about the Sons of God. They not only had intercourse with women but also experimented with animals. The text reminds me of DNA research. Another interesting feature is the names of Adam and Eves Daughters and that they married Cain and...

Jeremy Hunt the runner up in the Conservative leadership election is quoting as saying about Boris Johnson - '' I hope he is enjoying doing the job as much as I am enjoying not doing it'' It looks like hunt was the real winner after all

Yesterday upon a stair I saw old Corbyn standing there He stood there again today I don't think he will go away
