The miracles that Jesus and his disciples worked were for the Jews to prove to them that he was their long prophesied Messiah. Without those clear signs from God, they would not have believed. They even recognised this when Nicodemus came from the Sanhedrin by night and said thus to Jesus: John 3 King James Version (KJV) 3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
2 The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
God sent the Jews absolute proof that Jesus was their Messiah. The purpose of the miracles was to prove the word to an unbelieving people who rejected that proof. They were left with no excuse. God wants us to trust him at his word. Jesus even said that it was an evil and adulterous generation that sought a sign. The Jews sought signs whereas the Greeks (Gentiles) sought knowledge. God wants the 'just' to live by faith in him, not by proof or sight. He simply wants us to accept and follow him by his word. There are actually people, even today, who do this! Jesus told the bad guy when he was tempted by him to show that he was the son of God by working a miracle or two. His response was 'man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.' No signs, no wonders, just simple sincere faith and trust in the word of God. That's what God is looking for from his people. Just ask the guy below! (Virgs) Who is this guy called "(Virgs)" who you keep quoting?Virgs is a very nice guy, a very good friend of mine, whom I trust implicitly. He used to post on here under the board name Virgo. As in my usual tradition I colloquialised this into Virgs. The name 'Virgs' is a sure fire stamp of authority on your post if you know for sure that it would receive the sanction of Virgs. This is why it is so important to foster this type of relationship with Virgs. Many of us, including myself are like shifting sand when we post, unlike Virgs who is rock hard truth. Ensuring our posts line up with the mind of Virgs gives us that same steadfastness and surety, something we should all want to attain to. The absence of this goal reduces our posts to mere trivia.

Yes, the original Scots go all the way back to Ireland but I’m sure you’re aware that the Kingdom of Scotland was subsequently infiltrated by large numbers of men from the south and that the River Irvine from which the great leader’s name derives is located in an area that was inhabited by Britons. Suspiciously Irvine is not far from Galloway either. Hmm. No matter how you try to dress it up Ireland bears no responsibility for the formation for this looney religious sect whatsoever. The only possible thing you can throw at us is Edward Cooney (was the name Cooney a typographical error?) and from what I know he was quickly banished from the island to some far off place never to return. Whether it was Galloway, Galilee or Glasgow I care not, the important thing to be clear on it was not Galway. Meanwhile here’s a recipe for a Galawati Kebab. Matt10 www.bawarchi.com/recipe/galawati-kebab-oetbqoiigebeb.htmlMany thanks for the recipe Matt10. Much appreciated. It just might be my over fertile, suspicious mind, but is this the beginning of and attempt to deflect from the beginnings in Galway to the Galawati origins in India? Please take into account that Irvine (okay a Scotsman) superintended the forerunner of the 'looney religious sect' in the west and south of Ireland during the 1890s via a two and two system. You may point out that this other looney religious sect, i.e. the Faith Mission, was also started by a Scotsman with its HQ in Edinburgh, but remember he learned his renegade behaviour in the Emerald Isle and having virtually gone AWOL from his masters, where he was uncontactable and off the reins, his new venture was gestating and was soon to be supported by his future Irish counterpart who not only threw in his lot with him, but sold his drapery business to fund the project. All this occurred far nearer to the shores of Galway than it did to the shores of Galloway, Galilee, to Glasgow or even a Galawati. I'm sure I have some references somewhere in Dorothy's annals, or possibly they are in Trevor's (her illegitimate son) documents, which can add strength to these facts? I sure hope you don’t ever end up giving evidence in your defence at a murder trial as in seeking to defend yourself against one charge here (foundation of 2x2ism) you have inadvertently admitted to another one (foundation of the Faith Mission). Even a dumb barrister would have a field day with this. Of course these aren’t the only two religions which the Scots are responsible for bringing to Ireland, we also have their great gift of Presbyterianism which attracts many more people than the other two, probably because it’s a lot less crazy (except for the Free P wing obviously). Indeed none of the three main religions on the island are of native origin as the Roman Catholic church was, as the name suggests, imported from Rome while the church of Ireland, despite its name, is a very English creation. Anyone who knows anything about Ireland will know that the Irish really have no history as regards the founding of religions. Our roots are firmly in paganism. Indeed our only interest in religion is knowing what religion you are and then fighting you if you happen to be the wrong one. That said, I think you could be onto something with your Indian angle. I have it on good authority that Jesus did in fact go to India immediately after the crucifixion. Or was it immediately before? I can never remember. There’s even a book about it called (unsurprisingly) “Jesus in India” written by Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of the Ahmadiyya Movement. You may be interested to know that the Ahmadiyya Movement was founded in 1899 which is very strange given that it coincides exactly with the timing of the foundation of the Cooneyite thing. And it is worth noting that the Ahmadiyya Movement was also a revival movement and its founder Mirza Ghulam Ahmad claimed to have been divinely appointed as the “Guided One”. I kid you not. In fact I’m actually starting to wonder if Irvine and Ahmed could have been the same person. I’m not really sure where that leaves us here. Matt10

Please explain .
“ Paganism is a term that covers a great number of spiritual and religious beliefs, and someone who follows one of these beliefs is known as a Pagan. ... The word pagan (without a capital P) is often used to describe anyone who holds religious beliefs that differ from the main world religions. A similar term is heathen.”

Thanks Ahmed , currently has a lot more followers than Irvine , but both were leaders of revival movements in same timeframe of history , in their particular religions There are tens of millions of Ahymadi muslins in the world . They , generally have a very good reputation. Alvin www.alislam.org/ahmadiyya-muslim-community/The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community is the leading Islamic organization to categorically reject terrorism. Over a century ago, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad emphatically declared that the “jihad by the sword” has no place in Islam. He instead taught Muslims to follow the Qur’an and Prophet Muhammad’s example and defend Islam with a bloodless, intellectual “jihad of the pen.” Accordingly, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad penned over 80 books and tens of thousands of letters, delivered hundreds of lectures, and engaged in scores of public debates. The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community continues to use education to peacefully reform Muslims and revive Islam worldwide.

A rule to protect mainstream religion. From an atheists point of view, no god exists, therefore the worship of a god, any god, is paganism.

It would be a fair assumption that the person at Oxford or Websters who wrote it belonged to the christian religion. I think there was not a lot of thought went into it. After all, not too long ago if you had a thought of your own you got tied to a stake and burnt.

Unless the private life impacts on the public life there should be no connection.

In fact I’m actually starting to wonder if Irvine and Ahmed could have been the same person. I’m not really sure where that leaves us here. Matt10 On your first point, we were debating the question of whether the 2x2 movement went all the way back to the shores of Galway in west Ireland (c.120 years ago), not Galilee in northern Israel (2000 years ago), and yes, the Faith Mission was the John the Baptist forerunner of the light of 2x2ism to come. The Faith Mission had to decrease whilst 2x2ism had to increase. The Scots were most certainly very active back then in evangelising the world in one form or another. It was a lucky bag from which the distant parts received whatever denomination or group happened to come out of the bag at that time. Now you mention the firm pagan origins of the Irish. Ne'er a truer word was said. Deeply rooted in Irish culture are 'the Little People.' Despite the efforts of the Catholics, the Protestants, the 2x2s and Uncle Tom Cobbly and all, the Little People have never been erased from the pagan culture on the Emerald Isle. I'm certain that William Irvine visited a leprechaun to have his shoes mended. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LeprechaunNow onto another pagan practice rooted deep into Irish culture and that is kissing the Blarney Stone. This large chunk of carboniferous limestone built into the battlements of Blarney Castle must rank amongst the most pagan of practices, outshining even the strictest of rituals practiced by the Catholic Church. It is said that kissing the Blarney Stone rewards one with the 'gift of the gab,' something that is evident in many Irish folks. Some Irishmen are alleged to kiss the Blarney more than they kiss their wives! So yes indeed, paganism is rife in the Emerald Isle with the worship of the mischeious leprechaun cobblers and the Blarney stone's alleged power to grant the gift of tongues to all who embrace it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blarney_Stone
