Question of the Week: Why is Judaism passed down through the mother?

Why is Judaism passed down through the mother? I understand in olden times it was easy to know who your mother was and there was no way of proving fatherhood. But these days we have DNA testing, so why can't someone be Jewish even if only their father is Jewish? Answer: Jewishness is not in our DNA. It is in our soul. The reason it is passed through the maternal line is not just because it is easier to identify who your mother is. It is because the soul identity is more directly shaped by the

Can We Really Know Who Is God?

Continued from Part 19 A debt to Philo God, according to Philo, is an incorporeal, indefinable, absolute Being without any knowable attributes and qualities.  God, being so removed from the world, cannot have direct relations with it. 12 Therefore, Philo introduces an intermediary existence (“words”) between God and the world.13  The “words” are identified with the angels in the Scriptures.  These powers are also conceived of as a single independent being called Logos (“Word”), a term which P

Continued from Part 33 Leaving out reference to the holy sprit In the opening salutation of Paul’s letters to various churches (Romans through Thessalonians) he sends personal greetings from “God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”  If “the Holy Spirit” were an integral and personal part of a triune deity, then why does He not send His personal greetings as well?

Continued from Part 34 Is the Trinity Doctrine a New Testament teaching? Paul, speaking of Jesus says, “for in him all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form” (Colossians 2:9).  Whether Paul is teaching a form of dualism or that this supposed supernatural power that has indwelled Jesus has become God’s unique representative to mankind is a dispute for Christian commentators to ponder. Suffice it for us to ask, if God was in the incarnate Jesus and was one with Jesus ontologically why is
