nevermind, started 4 and he explains (sort of) the smell in a pod. ok..no barbecue space smell...pity really, space would make me hungry.
According to the astronauts, the Moon smells like spent gunpowder, if you can imagine that. Not burnt meat, but not a particularly pleasant smell, either.

This is exactly what the bible is, or at least genesis. It's the Sumerian tablets, after about 3000 years of telephone game. For me the clincher is the story of Noah, except 3000 years earlier, and with all the names changed.
Originally written by Sumerians, who were told about it by their gods who walked among them, ruled them, and they were in fear of. I think it's safe to assume they weren't really gods, only people with superior technology that came from the sky.
I for one believe there's more truth in what this guy is saying than fiction. It doesn't mean there's no god. It just means that these guys weren't him, or her.

It has always bothered me that in 3 years studying Christian Theology I couldnt get a teacher , minister or adherent of any biblical denomination to explain to me exactly why , there is a plural there in Genesis which sticks out like a sore thumb , without repetition or further literal explanation .
So I see you're big on Sitchin and a few other subjects that a lot of folk consider 'nutz' just as that same applies to my own beliefs.

The Vatican did right by firing him. He can now go preach his belief in demonic UFO's elsewhere.

What is/are "MMS?" How do you translate Hebrew without inserting vowels? The language had vowels, you know, they didn't go around clicking consonants and glottal stops at each other all day. You have to insert vowels into the written language to translate it. You said "all three Abrahamic religions" used only consonants in their writing ... but I've seen the Greek New Testament, and I'm pretty sure it has written vowels, too. I recall something about an Alpha and an Omega. What's up with that? Is Christianity no longer an Abrahamic religion?edit on 19-1-2012 by FurvusRexCaeli because: (no reason given)

Thats what i'm saying. This guy in the video thinks he knows more than jewish priests who spend their entire lives studying this stuff. They don't just spend 4-6 years in college studying it they spend up to their entire lives starting at the age of 12.

You do realize the OT is apart of the Jewish Torah And that Jewish scholars had it and have read and translated it far longer than there has even been a "Catholic" church...
Just saying...

How about this one. In renaissance and early modern England, when bible translations such as the King James were instigated, it was usual for royalty to speak in English as "we" rather than "I", i.e. the royal we, especially when making official declarations.
As in "we are not amused".
It would be unacceptable for the divine king to speak any other way had he been speaking 17th century English.
Hebrew is probably sufficiently different that this is an artifact of translation but I don't have specific knoweldge. Try asking a rabbi instead of a minister, as they read biblical Hebrew for a living.
