Defining Christianity
by Carmel init seems i constantly am confronted with those who are trying to make a "christian" out of me.
in various threads on this forum the term is used as if everyone understands what it means and there is no fuzzy edges.. i wonder if all here assume that only those that follow "jesus" are to be considered "christian"?.
consider that the title "christ" was not the name of the nazarene, only a title!

THANKS to Steve and Rachael
by Carmel ini just want to take the opportunity to thank steve and rachael (princess) for hosting an excellent party.
contrary to what may have been a false impression, though there was beer and wine for those who wanted, the gathering was not a "kegger" and teetotalers and children were both safe!.
my personal thanks and warmest regards to our wonderful hostess and host.

All Scripture Inspired?
by Carmel inlet's assume you believe that jesus was the "son of god" had a direct link to all knowledge, okay?
would it be fair to conclude that he was "informed" of the other greater and older civilizations around the world as he trudged from nazareth to jerusalem?
would he not also be aware of zoroaster, relatively next door, chrisna and buddha further to the east?

Introduction
by Carmel ini just wanted to introduce myself.
i grew up as a witness in the 50's but found that there were to many issues that i could not resolve without going "outside" to investigate.
