Kabbalah Course

I don't mean to lead anyone astray, but if you are firm in your faith and are interested in Kabbalah to expand your horizons, there is a free online Kabbalah course. Classes started september 7th but if you register now, you can download the first four lectures and all subsequent lectures in video or mp3. Student textbook is also free. I've only watched the intro course, kind of new agey, but interesting. Only 1 day left to register. Sorry for the late notice, but I just found out yesterday. Let me know if you join. I would like to discuss. there is also a forum to ask instructors questions. If you are not interested in the class there is a free video course also available on the website.

yes, it's jewish mysticism, but I find parallels with the nt. for example they teach attaining a higher level of reality and I think of receiving the holy ghost. they don't teach nt or heaven and hell.

Re: Kabbalah Course

Yeah... I'll definitely pass.

As a matter of fact... even though this notice was given at a late date I am thankful that it was given in time for me to purposely fail/refuse to register.

I feel much better now.

The Kabbalah is a series of "anceint" esoteric writtings supposedly by Jews. They contain numerology as well as other things.

One important writting was believed to be very ancient but was known to have been penned (he said discovered) by a Spanish "Jew"...I always thought this was dubious since during that period of time there were a lot of forced conversions of Jews. This "writting", Trinitarians claim, speaks of God as a Trinity. How ironic

Anyways, the religion "Kabbalaism" is not Judaism. It is a New Age religion

Re: Kabbalah Course

Actually a more interesting study is how Greek philosophy affected/interacted with Christian theory through the ages, i.e, the effects of Plato, Plotinus, and Aristotle on Augustine and Aquinas and others.

Christian Mysticism, and Scholaticism were the products of the ancient philosophers.
