    Adam,
    Once you read the book you will be truly enlightened by God. It was written by Him through me and there are so many topics that will be germane to issues in your life. You will tell me how God has touched you as you read His book.

    Thank you for putting the book on your wish list.

Stop by and check it out: http://bookeventcenter.ning.com (I try to go to the chat there on Tuesdays around 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.)

    First of all, regarding your not being a native speaker, it does not show. You express yourself very wellin English. much better than most native speakers.

    Second, I appreciate the reference and will review it. However, predestinationism, even in the miild form espoused by most Methodists is one of the reasons I disaffiliated from Christianity. It is also, IMHO, one of the principal defects in at least contemporary Islam. Judaism is not a theologically oriented or belief oriented religion but one thing all Jews agree with is the absolute free will of men [whether in groups of individually] to make good or evil choices. Religion is, at best, a sham without such a core doctrine. So I doubt that we're going to agree.

    I would appreciate your review of a Forum I've started on Shelfari entitled Real World Jews - particularly the two priincipal threads in that Forum. It would be very helpful to me to get the take of an intelligent well spoken Calvinist on these materials.

    Hi Adam,

    I apologize to posting this to your homepage, but I have tried to do so a half dozen times to the thread in the Theology Forum to which it belongs. The software is somehow misfunctioning and won't accept it as a response in that more appropriate place. The following is with respect to your observations on the principal post in the "Libel On Allah and Hashem" thread, in which I understand you are referring to the doctrine of "becoming Christ-like" which I refer to below - although it appears that we may have somewhat different understandings of that doctrine. In any case, thank you for that post, and I trust we will have less glitches in the software in the future.

    ===========================
    Adam, it may surprise you to learn that I am not completely ignorant of Christian doctrines. In fact, until around age 15 I was a purported Christian, a "mainline" Methodist to be exact. 15 was the age of confirmation in our Church, however. Being taught in detail what I was suppose to believe combined with an accidental look at how the ministry of our Church actually behaved, resulted in me leaving that Church shortly thereafter. I then drifted around from one Church and denomination to another for a few years and finally disaffiliated completely from Christianity. With the exception of some positive, but not personal, exposure to traditional Quakerism [there is really no such thing any more], I have never had any reason to doubt that decision.

    As for the comparison or analogy you are trying to draw, I don't believe that it works. The reason I don't believe it works is that Christians are trying to become "Christ like," which is impossible. Christ, if you ignore the examples of Jesus' own somewhat uneven character in the Gospels, is an aspect of G_d or person of the "G-dhead". Men cannot become G_d, regardless of what the Mormans teach.

    This is one aspect of one of the major things that bothers me about Christianity in general - it demands both too much and is content with too little. It demand too much in that human beings can never be "Christ like," particularly when one notes that being "Christ like" means to not only behave perfectly but to have only good and perfect thoughts and intentions. I don't know what your branch of Christianity asserts, but I am personally highly skeptical of "Saints" and it was one of the few aspect of Methodism that I agreed with that Methodists were also highly skeptical of Saints. The flip side is that this standard demands too little because the worst among Christians, acknowledging that one can never attain to the impossible standard of being Christ-like, thus conclude that they need have no standard of actual behavior other than fervid belief in Jesus as savior. And, no, I don't think that is limited to the Reform Christians.

    Judaism, at least nonHaredi Judaism, is different. The emphasis is on discrete behaviors, behaviors like not eating certain things, engaging in certain rituals. giving charity and not going out of one's way to embarrass others among their peers or otherwise acting in a highly inappropriate manner [I had a common term for that in the original post, but this software also censors such terms.] While most of us also fall short of these more limited and modest standards, they are standards that are at least conceivably attainable by human beings, and the aspiration to "be good" is thus not impossibly high.

    Further, Jews emphasize behavior not thought or intentions. Thinking about adultery, particularly in passing ["lusting in one's heart" to quote a former President] is not adultery. But, apparently it was the same thing according to Jesus and is the same thing for those who want to be "Christ like."

    In any case, whether we agree or not, I thank you for your thoughtful comments.
