    Christmas

    If you are talking about all the sale and present HYPE---Good for you. I feel that Christmas should be about reflection and 'thanks', not what kind of present you give. Teddy

    Did Jesus visit the Americas?

    I have never studied anything but the old testament, so my beliefs are based on that bible. I know very little about Jesus, but is he considered the 'messiah'? If so, it seems to me that Jesus preached 'man's salvation' and that is good. However, it seems to me that Jesus has been elevated to...

    Did Jesus visit the Americas?

    This is the first I heard about the Pale Prophet. Being the septic that I am, does anyone know the commonly accepted definition of the American Indian word "Pale". I don't know, and I don't have time right now to search, but, the word may have a couple of meanings and interpretations. Please...

    Did Jesus visit the Americas?

    Your idea of being connected reminded me about a eastern philosophy called the "I-Chang" where each of us is a simple thread in a never-ending cloth or rug. Any way, I don't think I spelled it correctly or interpreted it properly...but it works for me. Here's another one of my favorite...

    Did Jesus visit the Americas?

    There are good actions and bad actions. One of my favorite sayings is "You see in others what you are yourself". Of course, I have no idea who said it. I try to follow it. Teddy
