A foreshadowing of my Messiah in Numbers 21:8-9? I have to admit that it is a possibility; with those two verses being compared to John 3:14 and all.
That's not foreshadowing, that's taking and applying passages out of context. The GT is rife with such.
Hi Tow,
How could you expound on such if you do not believe the OT so have nothing to compare it with?Hey Nick,
You might want to buff the scratches out of your CD, it keeps skipping and repeating itself.
Hi Towshab,
Towshab means stranger.
We were warned about listening to the voice of strangers.
Their strident accusations could distract from listening to the voice of the shepherd.Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 15 2008,16:45) Hi Towshab,

Num 35:15 These six cities shall be for refuge for the people of Israel, and for the stranger and for the sojourner (“towshab”) among them, that anyone who kills any person without intent may flee there.Psa 39:12 “Hear my prayer, O LORD, and give ear to my cry; hold not your peace at my tears! For I am a sojourner (“towshab”) with you, a guest, like all my fathers.
1Ch 29:14 “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.
1Ch 29:15 For we are strangers before you and sojourners (“towshab”), as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.Hi Tow,
Nonetheless you speak with the unbelieving voice of a stranger,
one who would not be welcome as a sojourner with the sincere believing Jews.Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 15 2008,17:13) Hi Tow,

Some sects, you are right. But let us not forget about Reform Judaism and Reconstructionist. I would likely be welcomed as a convert to one of these should I earnestly pursue it.Hi tow,
You have shown how the disunity noted here is familiar territory for you too
And what would be the advantage of joining one of these varied walks?
Do they go anywhere useful or just further into the swamp of disbelief?Gee, I don't know. But they don't brag about an indwelling of the holy spirit, which is supposed to unite believers. Real life refutes this most fallacious claim.
Hi tow,
Are you serious?
Do you think anyone should share their precious walk with the Lord with You?
Your spectacular abuse of God, His servants and His precious words makes you an endangered species.
No one would be foolish enough to offer a spiritual oaf such as yourself anything more valuable than Harry Potter's latest book
and that too would be questionable.Sheesh Towhsab, we believe in sharing the message of our saviour, but there are limits, you oaf!
What do you take us for, some kind of meek, loving, forgiving, peaceloving other cheek-turners?
Boy did you get that wrong, you oaf!
How's my mockery? Phone 001 666 3:16

Hi,
Who would entrust treasures to those who respect nothing?
Why should we help them to trample them underfoot?
They should take their hatred of God elsewhere.I find it hard to hate things that are figments of others' imaginations. If the Judeo-christian god did exist, there would be room for outrage then.

Hi Stu,
Then why do you bother coming here if what we speak of is fantasy to you?
Surely true reality calls you elsewhere?
Do you have an evil agenda
Or are you just bored?Quote (Nick Hassan @ Jan. 16 2008,20:20) Hi Stu,

'Evil' is your judgement. Perhaps the original reason I posted here, to defend science against creationist lies, (it doesn't need defending, but ignorance is no excuse to believe mythology to the detriment of how we do science, and what is taught in schools) has nearly disappeared here. As the activity in t8's evolution thread has stopped being about evolution, it would seem that people have had the honesty to realise that there is no good argument against Darwin, and that he was fundamentally right about the fact of evolution explained by the Theory of Natural Selection.Of course the fantasy, more specifically how people become so attached to it sometimes at the expense of personal relationships and other normal human activities, is completely fascinating. Perhaps I am addicted to the fascination of the nature of the fantasy more than people here are to the fantasy itself. Actually, I couldn't possibly be!
