Thr true nature of Passover.

[Nearly Sane]

NS, I read the whole post, several times and as it stands I can see that what you have produced as a summary is clearly a summary of what i think Matt is trying to say, but only by reading between the lines and already knowing Matt's way of thinking.  As it actually stands, it actually says something different - namely that, once he passes in the Summerlands (indicating that they exist regardless of his belief or otherwise) he will only then discover whether or not they exist.  That doesn't make sense.

Which is why you are misreading it. The only way the statement makes sense is, if, as I have already pointed out, you take that use of Summerlands to be how owlswing refers to a post Death state, and in context uses that even if it doesn't match what will actually happen. It's got nothing to do with reading between the lines, just reading all of them,including the whole sentence.

[Owlswing]

Its a good summation of what I suspect you wanted to say, but it isn't a good summation of what is written in the post, Matt.

Suspect all you like - you can't prove a thing! Just like you can't prove the existence of your god!

I wrote exactly what I meant!

[Owlswing]

Yes, it is if you read the whole post rather than only read part of the sentence. I am beginning to doubt your motives here.

Give it up, NS!

Professor of Absolutely bloody Eveything Hope cannot be wrong and is, in his responses to you, demonstrating the very "wriggling that I mention in my response to him.

Get this - it is the law - Hope cannot be wrong - ON ANYTHING - he can only be misinterpreted or misread or misunderstood - never wrong!

I am going back to my 2015 way of dealing with his nonsense. I should never have stopped doing so!

Are you a Jew? If not shut up!

Actiually I don't care how many do or not.

I posted:

One: I would rather have no responce to this question than have the usual load of old rubbish from those who THINK that they know anything about Judaism and the Jewwish faith.

Two: I would rather have no reply at all.

One: What you would rather is of no consequence.
Two: I can, at least, spell "Jewish".

By putting his case the way he did, he is assuming that he will pass into the Summerlands which, if he is wrong, won't exist.

It's a nursing home in Eastbourne. He's already booked his place.

If that's the case, he would have used a capital T for 'the'.

You're talking about a man who put two "w"s in "Jewish".

Now, how many people here have you decided 'can't be wrong', Matt.  I'm certainly not the first.  Regarding your "2015 way of dealing with his nonsense", I don't recall you ever starting.  However, if you aren't interested in debating with me, I'll happily keep correcting you when you make errors and congratulating you when you make good posts, and not expect responses.

True.  Hadn't thought about that when I originally responded back in the early posts

You've got a greater connection to Judaism than I have.

I'm sure these guys could answer your question far better than anyone here.

 

But you are right IMO, you have to ask Jews about the true meaning of things in Judaism.

( they might not agree with each other, but that's a part of it  )

Mr Perfect takes 32 posts to notice a typo!

[Owlswing]

True.  Hadn't thought about that when I originally responded back in the early posts 

And Mr Too Perfect didn't notice the typo at all.

And Mr Too Perfect didn't notice the typo at all.

I did notice the 2 ws, but chose to ignore it as it had already been spotted by someone else.
