Christian Aspie Buds

Okay, that's quite interesting. I don't know a lot about Coptic Christianity. But last month I visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, and also saw the Coptic part of it. It was beautiful.

You mean you just have studied theology by yourself, so to speak, ie. reading books about it in your spare time just out of interest? or how is that?

I've learned Greek and Hebrew too, at the university. I liked that too (but mostly Greek; Hebrew was kind of difficult to learn.)

Another special interest about languages has been Spanish (and together with Latin, it became a very consuming interest to me, even I myself thought it was getting "too much", and how could I be so immersed in something? But I didn't know anything about Asperger's at that time.)

Congrats Anne that's an accomplishment indeed Some very accomplished believers here I see.

I think it would be terrific to be able to read some original texts and follow the Greek or Hebrew. I speak very little Spanish, but enough to know that some things simply don't translate well or are cultural. And occasionally I wonder how much influence King James had on the Bible we have today. Know someone who finished their book on Enoch and would like to dive into that...but who knows when I'll manage to get it done.


Ok here's one for ya'll. I can't tell you how many people believe we are the terminal the WWll generation is the terminal generation for Jesus' return to take all His followers to heaven. So what say any of you here about where we are on the world's timeline?

I'm Catholic.

I am Christian (Presbyterian specifically) but my theology may be somewhat more liberal than others'.

i'm a Seventh-day Adventist.

nice to know there are more Christian aspies out there. i just got attacked in another thread for posting a comment that happened to come from a religious belief. i was feeling a bit alienated in a group of alienated people.. (ironically, in a thread talking about aliens..)

I was born jewish by birth. And at 12 I read the Bible, the christian Bible. I love the sense behind words simply because I don't get them so easily, specially in hebrew a language that is full of figures of speech. I have realized that Jesus knew many things about the jewish mitzvot that rabines are only assuming to be true nowadays, I also compared the bible versiosn to see the better translations, in English(I speak Portuguese) and I only like King James, the others are full of mistake and manipulate in a way that makes me think, why did they do this? Jesus was a jew and he was a Zadik because he had permition to speak in the synagogs, he knew gematria and the jewish torah and tanach, when he said "forgive 70x7". He was talking about Binah number 7, the number of perfection, and 70 the number of impossible. He said forgive in a perfect way things that are impossible to be forgiven. And I thought "Yes, that's how G-d forgives" but he also said that you had to confess, and King David did this and he was forgiven. The only metaphors I understand are those jewish love, like numbers and things you can touch. I read the Bible under the perpective of a jewish And I was like wow, He's really good at math and he's really right.
