  Greco-Roman Like Foods?

  I'm doing a Greco-Roman cultural experience in school and I need foods that are like foods from back then or have something that Roman like. Example - Oreo, the design on the Oreo cookie looks like a Corinthian Column. (Sadly someone in my class took that) Another Example - Grape Juice, resembles wine. Looks like it. (Another person took this T-T)

  What did Jesus teach about sin?

  Jesus taught that drinking was a sin-oops, wrong. His first miracle was turning water into wine. Jesus taught that partying was a sin-oops! wrong again, the pharisees criticized him for partying with the wrong people. Jesus taught that homosexuality was a sin-WRONG again. Jesus never said anything about homosexuality even though it was common practice in Greco-Roman society. The sins Jesus talked about: judging others, condemning others, relying on wealth instead of on God. CJ, I'm not saying just because Jesus didn't talk about something, it's not a sin, I'm saying some of the things many Christians call a sin, Jesus didn't waste his time with. He said the greatest commandment was to love God, and love one's neighbor as oneself. Can you love someone and rape them, or commit violence against them? or for that matter, tell them they're a blasphemer and sinner??? Some of you Christians are downright mean spirited, and to cloak it in terms of the demands of faith or following Christ is ridiculous. And where in the world would anyone get the idea that the wine they drank was not fermented??? I suppose the prostitutes Jesus hung out with didn't really offer sex just conversation??? WOW! Now I've heard it all! You're accusing me of not having read the Bible, and not knowing "your Lord?" I'm beginning to understand the whole brainwashed accusation...

  Is Christianity actually a "pagan" religion in disguise?

  JEWISH IDEAS: 1. A great king (aka messiah) coming to raise up Israel and bring peace to the world. 2. Some sort of end of the world as we know it. (Not entirely compatible with #1.) 3. A supreme god (although Persian Zoroastrianism and the reign of Akhenaten in Egypt also flirted with this.) GRECO-EGYPTIAN IDEAS: 1. A god impregnating a human woman (sometimes perceived as virginal) who gives birth to a demi-god. (see Dyonisus) 2. The concept of "souls" being different than body. (see Pythagoreas, Plato and Persian Zoroastrianism) 3. A violent death or "passion" and resurrections ... particularly after visits to the underworld. (see Osiris, Dyonisus, etc., etc.) 4. The concept of judgment after death (see Osiris) with rewards and punishments (see Plato's Phaedo and Myth of Er, as well as Persian Zoroastrianism). 5. A "sacrament" of bread and wine. (see Demeter and Dyonisus. The Eulusian and Orphic mystery religions.) 6. Free will and a cosmic battle between good and evil. (see Persian Zoroastrianism.) All evidence points to Jesus being a very regular Jewish reformer who had a lot of tired old Greco-Egyptian mythology appended to his story by the gospel authors who wrote in GREEK in what amounted to a HELLENISTIC empire. Therefore, Christians ARE the pagans they've railed against for so long.

  How do you do Divination - reading the future - from Sheep's shoulder blades?

  Does anyone have this skill , passed on from Yiayia , perhaps ? Having slow cooked a half shoulder of lamb last night , on a bed of sliced potatoes and onions , the meat with a coat of mixed herbs and chopped garlic laid on it , and then the ceramic dish wrapped in foil , 20 mins on 200C , then four hours on 125C , the meat just slid off the bone , and aided by a Greek side salad (without the Feta ) and some hot multi-grained bread , I scoffed the lot , with a half litre or so of a thin Spanish red wine to assist it on it's way . MMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ! ! ! Leaving me pensively looking at the bone and idly wondering how you go about telling the future from these things . It has been a Cultural week for me in Greek related things , on Monday the Missus and I took the Eurostar train through the Channel Tunnel to Lille , in the far north of France ( the trip is pretty dull going through , like a 20 minute ride between Monastiraki and Omonia , only much less exciting ) Anyway , apart from eating various meals to die for while there , we went to the Musee des Beaux Arts and found two Paintings by Domeniko Theotokos , El Greco , from Fodhele village in Crete , therein , A study of the Western Church's saint Francis of Assisi , and Christ in the Garden of Olives , which had astonishing use of bright Magenta and Aquamarine pigments - for his epoch . And yesterday we had our annual " Voices from Greece " event at the University here in Norwich , the UEA , this year looking at topics about Thessaloniki , the history , an account of the life and works of Manolis Anagnostakis , a modern era Poet of the left wing in politics - " Words must be hammered in like nails " he wrote of his writings - but then he was a diasporic Cretan ! And lastly Victoria Hislop was there (who she ? ) author of " The Island " about the leper colony of Spinalonga ( again Crete ) and now made into a 26 part serial by the Greek T V Mega channel . Her latest book ( in english ) is " The Thread " and is set largely in Thessaloniki . ( Guess who left his copy at home , and so couldn't ask her to sign it ! ) etsi einai H zoi . And I have just read through Stratis Myrivilis' " Life in the Tomb ", and have the Communist general Sarafis' book " E L A S " , his history of the resistance and the civil war , and a copy of Andreas Franghias' novel about Athens , " the Courtyard " , Both to read next , so , - Many thanks for those of you who found me the links to suppliers of translations into english of Greek authors' books ! Nothing about expanding my library on this shoulder-blade , though , as far as I can see ......... .

  another "god-man", Apollonius, was Jesus' competition in the 1st century... they both did miracles...?

  ...each topping the other, each more spectacular than the one before... but Apollonius wasnt remembered in the end.. Neither was Emperor Vespasian, another miracle worker, nor Simon Magnus, Pythagoras, others ....but Jesus was remembered. ...WHY? miracle workers were common in the that era. so were people who knew the art of casting out demons, according to Josephus Conybeare, F. C. Philostratus I: The Life of Apollonius of Tyana Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews Miracles in Greco-Roman Antiquity by Wendy Cotter Constitutions of the Holy Apostles 6.9 (Third century? AD) These guys healed the sick, walked on water, cast out demons turned water into wine, calmed storms, and raised the dead. ...and Simon Magnus could even FLY!! ---------------------------- was only Jesus remembered and worshiped to this day because the others were fake and Jesus was the REAL one?
