Rainbow Spirit Christ
by peacefulpete injust found an interesting article describing and defending the recent syncretic conceptualization of christianity in aboriginal australia called rainbow spirit theology.
(5) rainbow spirit and the cosmic christ | philip cox - academia.edu.
to sum up the essay, the aboriginal conception of deity, as pervasive in the land and cosmic in scope, was lost through the narrow confines of christianity bound by limited storyline and text.

2nd Isaiah 49:6
by peacefulpete in6 and he said, it is too small a thing that thou shouldest be servant to me to raise up the sons of jacob, and to bring back the netzurei yisroel (preserved of israel,); i will also give thee for ohr goyim, that thou mayest be my yeshuah unto the ketzeh ha’aretz.. 2nd isaiah, actually an anonymous prophet at the time of cyrus, did his best to inspire and hearten his fellow countrymen.
many judahites had lost hope and even lost faith.
the explanations offered by previous prophets, namely that their own sins had resulted in their situation, were not adequate nor convincing.

The UN, was the WTS given special knowledge?
by peacefulpete inthe league of nations and the united nations in prophetic speculation
how is it that so many individuals through the centuries have found such a pleasure in playing the role of prophet, despite the fact that their prophecies so seldom come true?
regularly their predictions fail, yet they go on with prophesying.

What If?
by peacefulpete inrecent news about beards is getting lots of attention.
it made me wonder if any guys will return to the church under the impression that 'so much has changed'.
back when, i knew a couple guys who were outspoken about beards, seeing it as an issue, and was never terribly moved by their viewpoint.

Female Angels
by peacefulpete infor some reason i never noticed this before: .
5 then the angel who talked with me came forward and said to me, “look up and see what this is that is coming out.” 6 i said, “what is it?” he said, “this is a basket[b] coming out.” and he said, “this is their iniquity[c] in all the land.” 7 then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!
[d] 8 and he said, “this is wickedness.” so he thrust her back into the basket,[e] and pressed the leaden weight down on its mouth.
