Well, it deffinately makes sence that there is much more going on that just Jacob and Mystery smoke man. Do you recall what Jacob said after Fake Locke pushed him into the fire? "They are comming" I wander what this could possibly mean.. and the fac…
another circle "deja-vu" moment last night, as jonah put it.
this time, the boy in the woods and reminding the smoke of the rules of what he could or couldn't do.
reminded me of child elyon and how there are certain rules for how the shataiki and te…
Yes, I noticed the parallels to the Circle books too. Very exciting. Not that the healing waters idea hasn't been done before Ted but it's nice to see a nod to rebirth (also notice Sayid's Christ-like pose as he's brought out of the water). I think…
Dude, thats exactly what i thought when i saw that. It gave me Circle book deja vou..
And Saxsoon, what do you mean by Jacob not being good? I think it is pretty obvious that the black smoke guy is out there for evil.. He found his loop hole in how…
You probably don't, no offense. The writers said to be very careful about characterizing Jacob as good and Flocke as bad simply because they wear white and black.
woah! last night i was watching, and realized a lot of connections between christianity and Lost. I was really excited to find out that Jacob represents Jesus, and the "new Lock" is the devil. I actually understand Lost now. I have watched it since…
are we talking books in general, or do you mean how many of ted's books have we read?
in general i can't say for certain, although i definitely got more into reading since 2004.
i have probably made up for all the years i didn't read anything by no…
what i meant about them possibly being the same person has to do with jumping around through time combined with vampire mythology regarding long lifespans.
if say janae were to somehow be sent back in time to the 1500's much like bill was sent to c…
i didnt say that it was wrong for Thomas to get remaried, i just said that i didnt want him to. (at that moment in red when Rachael died, i was pretty upset) but that was many many months ago, now i am fine with it and actualy like it, so its all go…
In one of his letters (I'm drawing a blank at the moment), Paul wrote to widows, particularly women but also men, about this issue. He said that while there is no right or wrong way to handle it, he recommends that young widows remarry and older wid…
And since his wife..DIED.
The Word never says it is wrong for someone who has been widowed to remarry. In fact it was in the Law that if a man died and his wife had not bore him a son, the man's brother was to marry the widow.
I don't see anything wrong with the fact that he remarried. Especially since Elyon wanted him too. Remember, he was conflicted with his feelings, until Michal straightened him out.
I did some reading in Red (just trying to get through the book again) and I found some stuff that answers this question nicely. Before getting to that, there are other instances than this that go along with it, such as Thomas recognizing the Book of…
I don't think so. However, we need to have choice to truly do good. Why else would there have been a forbidden tree in the garden of Eden. So, we don't need to see evil, we just have to have the option of choosing it.
