As you know I like to put up my unformed studies to perhaps make it a stepping stone for other people’s research. So here it goes, a history of Samaria.

I am compelled to post this?a 16lb baby…at birth!
Okay…I’ll Say It…Homeschool
?Homeschool?, apparently, is a curse. Go ahead. Try it. Go
into a room full of parents sending their children to public or private school
and say ?I?m going to homeschool?. Appreciate the perked up ears and ominous
silence for a few moments while realizing that you?re in for a battle of
Lucasfilm proportions.
So the results are in showing out of the visitors on this site
who decided to vote in the SF and F item poll, 18 of you (52.9%) would rather
own a lightsaber over any of the more docile items. This just goes to show you
that people like laser swords over flying brooms, skateboards or lizards.

This particular discussion was after the healing of a lame
man on the Sabbath. The Jews sought to kill Him because He worked on the
Sabbath and was making Himself equal to God.
Jesus goes on to make several claims which build upon one
another illustrating his actual equality with deity. This would mark Him as mad
but He's already performed tremendous miracles before them. His statements aren't
left empty, but he welcomes examination in light of the "witnesses". He makes
an appeal to evidence. I worked this post up, and only after Rebecca pointed
out that Doug Groothius(Hat Tip: Evangelical Outpost) did it already (and admittedly, much better than I
handled it: Jesus, Philosopher and Apologist. P6) I feel compelled to submit
the research but with that one caveat.
