It was also the way nations communicated with each other after the Babel confusion. There were sets of universal symbols that were
You do realize that Babel happened in Old T times, not in the NT era.
The Bible is a written version of the symbols and the mathematics involved with creation. You see a history book and stories that make no sense. Others see beyond the words into the underlying story told by the symbols.
gobblydook!!! bringing mathematics into it, pseudoscience at its finest, a bit like that other thread runniing at the moment about quantum physics and christianity

What's the purpose of church? To pray and praise god, right? What other reason is there? Why would Jesus say not to go to the synagogues (churches) when you went to pray? That's the whole point of church! Besides being spoon fed someone else's interpretation (in my opinion).
So why would Jesus say that church-goers were hypocrites? If you shouldn't go to church to pray, then what other reason is there to go?
I only reject what Paul taught. I pay attention to Jesus' words, not some guy who was known for killing his followers. You're implying that there cannot be a middle-ground, why?edit on 13-2-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)edit on 13-2-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)

He also said he was of the tribe of Judah. So which was he? A Benjamite or a Judah?
If he were either a Benjamite or Judah, he would have never claimed that Jesus was a god. Labeling a man as god is heretical in Judaism, so once he claimed Jesus was god, he cut all ties to Judaism and the twelve tribes.

I've never come across anything that says Jesus said to confess sins to priests. Could you point out a particular verse? The same for the Lord's supper too please.
So you just accept his conversion without knowing why? That's not a very smart thing to do.

Since the answer to your question was obviously supposed to be church, I assumed you also meant confessing to the priest (who they usually call "father", a big no-no with Jesus) because that's who you usually confess to at church.
How are they "obviously" inspired by god if he contradicts him on several occasions? Just because you refuse to acknowledge the contradictions doesn't mean they aren't there and shouldn't question them. You refuse to question the words of Paul, even though lots of evidence points toward you the fact that you SHOULD.
Your ignorance is showing because you refused to read past the first line because of "time" and "day"...... REALLY? DAYS ARE MEASURED IN TIME! That is a petty excuse.edit on 13-2-2013 by 3NL1GHT3N3D1 because: (no reason given)
