Orthodox rabbis seek ties to Christianity
Orion Gazette - "After collaborating and working with various Christian organizations, leaders and scholars over the past three years, the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation in Israel has released a statement of “a Jewish understanding of Christians and Christianity.” CJCUC is the first Orthodox Jewish entity to engage in dialogue with the Christian world."

Is God unjust?
Words of hope - "Is our God just, “behaving according to what is morally right and fair,” in his dealings with humanity? If God is just, how can he allow the innocent to suffer? If he is not just in his dealings with humanity, then why follow him? This is the question that derails many people’s faith. If God is just how can he allow suffering to exist in the world?"

No Adam, No Eve, No Gospel
Christianity today - "Christianity Today likes to emphasize the biblical sources. The story of creation, told in Genesis and elaborated in the New Testament, pictures a rational intelligence creating an orderly and predictable cosmos."

A word from Mr. Wesley: ‘You must be born again’
Methodist thinker -"Just as the new birth and baptism are not the same, they do not always accompany each other. One may possibly be “born of water” and yet not be “born of the Spirit.” There may sometimes be the outward sign where there is no inward grace. I do not now speak with regard to infants. Whatever is the case with infants, it is sure that all of mature years who are baptized are not the same as born again."
