What is my religious affiliation?
I am Jewish by birth (this is not the religious affiliation), Christian by faith (this is the religious affiliation). Very simple.

Is 'Jesus' an example of an error in the bible? They're not even possible. And, there's nothing wrong with transliterating names into other languages. This is often done because foreign speakers cannot articulate words in other languages, so words need to be transliterated. For example, Greek does not have a /sh/ phoneme, so does that mean it is wrong to transliterate the /sh/ phoneme (which exists in Hebrew) into Greek as the /s/ phoneme, although they sound distinctly different? No, it is not. |

Is 'Jesus' an example of an error in the bible? It's not a "translation." It's a transliteration. And, "Jesus" is a transliteration of the Latin Iesus, which is a transliteration of the Greek Ἰησοῦς, which is a transliteration of the Hebrew יְהוֹשׁוּעַ and Hebrew/ Aramaic יֵשׁוּעַ. There's no such transliteration as "Yahshua" or "Yahushua." |

Does swearing on the Bible have any spiritual significance? Jesus says let your "No" be "no" and your "yes" be "yes." There's no need to swear unless you need some higher authority to vouch for your honesty and fidelity. As a Christian, you shouldn't need to. |

Was the Last Supper not the Passover meal? @DJClayworth: No, it is not clear that the Last Supper was a Pesach seder ("Passover meal"). If it was so "clear," we wouldn't be asking the question. |

Praise people who kill This isn't a strong argument, IMO. Cain was punished for killing Abel before the Law was given. |

Genesis 9:7 fruitful and increase in number Is there any evidence that Genesis 9:7 applies to anyone but the generation that existed immediately after the flood? It's quite obvious that virtually nobody existed after the flood, hence there was certainly a need for people (i.e., Noah and his family) to "be fruitful and multiply." |

Condemnation of early Christians [edited] Seems like a false premise, saying "since they did not believe in Jesus as we do today..." Says who? |

Is the Virgin Mary ever referred to as “the Holy Table” (ἡ ἁγία ἡ τράπεζα)? What do you mean Ark on the Holy Table? The Ark was located in the Holy of holies. The table where the bread of the presence ("shewbread") was located outside the Holy of holies. There's no way the Ark was located on any table. |

Why is the Eucharist referred to as «ἀναίμακτον θυσίαν» in consideration of “transubstantiation”? I see. Thanks. The footnote also metions "unbloody priesthood." Now if we have an unbloody sacrifical action, but a bloody sacrifical victim (Christ), how then is the priesthood called "unbloody"? Is the priesthood not present during the actual transubstantiation? (I know you don't have time to answer. Just some thoughts of my own.) |
