IF YOU LIKE THE CLASS, FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT.

NOTE ON THE 6-18-23 CLASS
>> In my opinion the open discussion is a waste of time that should be skipped.

CORRECTIONS TO MY STATEMENTS AT THE 6-18-23 CLASS
>> At the 6-18-23 class I stated that “as far as I have ever been able to tell” logos comes to us only from John chapter 1 verses 1 and 14. In fact logos occurs in the Greek New Testament several hundred times. It is the metaphysical meaning of the word that comes to us from John 1. We discussed this at the 6-25-23 class.
>> At the 6-18-23 class the idea was presented to the class that “only begotten son” comes to us from the Nicene Creed. In fact it comes to us originally from the Bible itself, which I should have remembered and which we would have seen if we had been using some other translation of the NT. We discussed this at the 6-25-23 class.
>> At the 6-18-23 class from about 11:15 to 14:03, I stated that the Eastern paths do not put emphasis on interpersonal relations, the “horizontal bar of the cross.” At later classes we discussed that Sai Baba, the Hindu Reform Movements, and the Sikh religion are exceptions to that statement.
