  • How r these videos stille around, guess they're just left-overs from a failed idea. The Jesus Seminar was proven 2 b a total fail (namely the idea that Jesus didn't live in a Jewish part of the world). Archaelogists have uncovered 1st rubbish dumps, w/ ZERO pig bones; as well as limestone pottery (important 4 the 'puristic' jews, that prove almost w/ no question that Galilee was indeed very Jewish. Hope no one's still taking these claims seriously?!?! Do an internet search 2 find out more.

  • TJS is the most absurd panel for determining a thing ever assembled, all the more because so many who buy it are not thinking of one obvious point: why don't we study brain tumors that way or quasars or ancient Greek pottery? Assemble a panel of 150, the vast majority of whom are not even close to being specialists in the named fields and then let them vote! LOL! If Chris J. Willott has something to say about Quasars, I want to here it, but if Whoopie Goldberg does, well, you know the rest.

  • One God, or One Being...different names obviously.

  • Islam erases all this nonsense of rainbow colors and votes islam is shining and these people have yet to define what is Christianity Allah Akbar

  • If grey means the Seminar couldn't decide - why can't he say so, & quit waffling :( ? People who waffle on w/out end try their listeners' patience & waste time. If other colours were needed to point out various shades of opinion, why didn't the JTS use them ? If he couldn't explain things clearly & briefly - why could someone capable of doing so not make the presentation ? Was he trying to assimilate his hearers ?

    I believe in the apocalyptic Jesus, because the whole NT is apocalyptic :)

  • The TJS NT sounds like the "Tartan Bible" which divided the OT into sections according to their sources - so that method, at least, has been used before.

  • It's an interesting discussion though, especially considering how literally most Christians take the entire Bible
