Where "those whom thy right hand possesseth" are "slaves".

Hey, I'm a moral relativist so I'm not saying this is right or wrong but between this law and the Constitution of the United States, that outlaws slavery, I take the latter to result from a "higher understanding"

I am willing to bet that you did NOT read the whole article....probably just skimmed to the end.


However, for those who are open-minded....they can see how all this relates to Perennial Philosophy.

Well, what subtle nuance do you think I missed?

Yes, I skimmed, but through the whole thing and I am familiar with most of the passages quoted from the Quran and the Bible. Most of the commentary seemed content free, for example:

....people will understand the true evolution in consciousness that has taken place.
C'mon River, what do you think is the:

1. Explain why you are so enamoured of the prose you quoted.
2. What you think the greatest secret is and why.

How on Earth did you interpret shedding of the form of " Isa Masih/Jesus Christ" as an endorsement of slavery? That statement was completely off...


Believe me....if you read the article slowly and carefully.....you will learn certain things that 99.9% of the population do not know.....heck , most of the secrets in this article are of an esoteric nature.

By the way , you jumped on this article....I would imagine...that the article was beyond you....I'm sorry if I sound rude. But this article is not written for the average joe......

If I have to explain to you what is in the article....it kinda defeats the purpose of reading the article. Just accept the fact that the article ...ETERNAL PROPHET was not written for everyone.

I don't see any reason why this thread should stay in [P]. Off to another place and time we go!
