KEITH GILES: I feel like we need another Copernican Paradigm Shift in today's Christianity if we hope to move beyond an Earth-centric theology that allows for a more realistic understanding of God and our Universe.
Justin Bond: Yeshua asked how could we understand spiritual things if we don't understand the natural. Jacob, Jacob's physical descendents, The Land, United Kingdom/Political Entity under the rule of David and Solomon, The 10 Northern Tribes, The Jews who returned from the Babylonian Exile, Judaism as a whole, and the modern political state and its citizens can all be described as physical or legal Israel. "Kingdom Israel" is made up of both physical (Legal) and non-physical (Spiritual) Israelites who are believers in Messiah Yeshua. It's long overdue for us as believers to start trying to understand these things in the here and now for a foretaste of the future.
SEAN FITZPATRICK: symbolism is not a glorification of evil, but an acknowledgment of it. Evil should be assigned a similar role through Halloween as it has in gothic cathedrals—the architectural icons of order and harmony in creation, where even the devil has his place. Saints and angels cannot teach the theological truth of the dragon and the gargoyle. Halloween, if true to this purpose, debases the macabre by playful ritual. Though often dismissed as uncouth, fiends and phantoms are emblems of spiritual warfare—and of the victory already won in Christ.
Marcel Brown: And really our focus should be, since we all must die and are destined to judgment, how then we to live?
TAN WHEE SUAN: I'm a Buddhist. I like simple. As simple as possible.
Reuven Chaim Klein: Rabbi Yaakov Tzvi Mecklenburg (1785-1865) writes that the word malach is related to the Hebrew word malachah (“creative labor”) because a malach is an agent — whether angelic or not — who carries out a certain task on one's behalf. Though the comparison between these two words is not readily understood, Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch (1808-1888) offers a penetrating insight: The word malachah denotes the thinking man's ability to bring his ideas into reality through creative work, while malach is the personification of the thinking man's ability to use a proxy to realize his ideas. He also writes that the word malach sometimes refers directly to G-d because He constantly engages in the malachah of creating the world.
