Review: Draw Close to Jehovah Book
by Sirona ini read the draw close to jehovah book because a jehovahs witness told me that it had some ?deep?
spiritual information in it.
the book appears, at first glance, to be all about knowing jehovah god and his attributes.

Assumption of Moses
by googlemagoogle ini've read claims (mentioning origen) that jude 9 would be a quote from the "assumption of moses", also known as the "testament of moses".
however, i can't find any reference in this pseudepigraphical writing that would even losely have a connection to a fight between michael the archangel and the devil.
what i also find confusing, that the "book of jubilees" is sometimes called "testament of moses" too, but that's a whole different story.

Mark 14:62
by peacefulpete indid mark intend his jesus to openly declare that he was the messiah?
through out the text we find mark hinting about the identity and even having his hero forbid others to declare their conviction that he was the messiah.
yet in mark 14:62 most bibles have jesus openly declaring himself to the high priest be the coming one, saying ?i am?.

walking on sea or on shore
by peacefulpete insome have suggested that ?walking upon the sea?
story of mark 6:45-51 was based upon an older resurrection appearance story that mark misinterpreted.
the similarity to luke 24:36-7 (surprised disciples seeing what they took to be a spirit) suggests that mark misunderstood his source?s use of the expression (epi)?on?

"Who Really Rules The World?"
by TrailBlazer04 infound this little tract stuck in my door when i got home today...what a bunch of pessimistic rubbish!
the last paragraph starts with "happily, the time is now near when satan and his cohorts will be no more!
" so, the end is still near, satan rules the world, world conditions suck.... no wonder so many of them look like they've sucked on a lemon..... i can't wait until they come back (if i'm home).

The Red Tent--a question about the story of Dinah
by athenafirestone ini just finished listening to anita diamant's "the red tent".
this was the second time through for me with this, in my opinion, really good book, but i realized that i have forgotten what the bible actually says about dinah and her brothers (well, but of course, the bible has a lot more to say about her brothers in general, simply because they were male).
i don't have a bible anymore and wouldn't know where to look if i did have one, so i was wondering if someone could point me to the approximate location in the bible of the "story" of dinah.
