I have 6 day old and two week old answers that have not been voted on. No way for me to vote either.

This new format excludes me from voting because the "in voting" format is gone.

When I click on my answer all I get is no response.

Changes are called for in SCOTUS and the Constitution. Wonder where we are with call for the Convention?

I learned to spell "honor, rumor, humor, pediatrician, and anesthesia" as spelled here. I am on the US site. Why are all of these words flagged by the spell-checker? On my site it is the ill-mannered Spell Checker that is in error!

I used to use "Alt." key but it doesn't work on Linux.

I've tried to email back but can't get the the email to go through. Need help with a link.

The only reference to an immortal soul that I see is in Genesis, where Satan tells Eve, paraphrasing, that God is lying to you-----(if you eat this forbidden fruit, you will not die). I submit the immortal soul concept arose there.

the same or is it different? In my Greek scriptures,"proskinesis" means 'prostrating at ones feet as a mark of RESPECT', not WORSHP. Respecting Jesus is perfectly appropriate. The word for "worship" is "LATREIA", a word referring to worship of God only. This is from the Vatican Interlinear manuscript, so I hope some Roman Catholics will comment here.

if he never fell? If Jesus didn't die then mankind is doomed as there would have been no ransom sacrifice to appease God over the original sins of Adam and Eve

The 'Jesus is God' statement evidently is intended to support the trinity concept, in which Father=Son=Holy Spirit, but this is refuted in many ways, one of which is that God was/ is ALWAYS immortal and Jesus wasn't..

.Additional confusion arrises because St. Jerome translated 'proskinesis' as 'worshiip' and 'latreia' as 'worship' creating the confusion that Jesus is not to be shown deep respect (proskinesis). This is precisely the deep respect Jesus IS to be shown. What he asked NOT to receive was' latreia' usually translated as 'worship' or 'adoration', ut reserved solely for God.
