Hi Eddie!

I agree that you'd like to know from Argham's mouth, or from Archie. Most
people have a cursory understanding of the esoteric as also the exoteric -
very much, ideas that are common constructs.

But it appears you are keen on massaging your mind, and in  that regard
there is online support, which I am sure you would have found, or did, but
it helps to engage I guess directly* - I tap into, to pick or reject
options.
 *as in participatory design.
Consider:
https://www.godswordforyou.com/bible-studies/the-gospel-of-john/425-study-1.html

I am not guaranteeing its proof-Catholic, but it is catholic in framing.

Btw, lest my slip be showing; I appreciate Jeremiah 6:16, which surely has
helped massage my mind, to the extent a lone ranger may expect.
Thus saith the Lord: Stand ye on the ways, and see, and ask for the old
paths, which is the good way, and walk ye in it: and you shall find
refreshment for your souls. And they said: We will not walk.

So, rock on.

shit - I am no Bertrand Russell :)

The simple explanation is that God wanted to confuse us all. If he sent us 
clear and simple messages would he have need of people to explain his mind. 

That goes for all Abrahamic scriptures. You can have a few laughs if you watch 
episodes from Zakir Naik explaining the Quran to questioning ‘kaffirs’ at his 
mass meetings, now only outside India since he is wanted there for money 
laundering, whipping communal passions and supporting terrorism.

Not that I would put too much stock in the credibility of the current Indian 
government who will arrest you on trumped up charges for the slightest reason 
if you say something critical of them, free speech notwithstanding.

Dear Mr D'saYou appear to be having some problem with Mr Argham!Goanet is a 
forum for all Goans to Express their views and to keep in touch with each other 
 If you dont like or agree with what Mr Argham posts, you can either ignore it 
or give some positive criticism.  You state that Mr Argham continues to regale 
and confuse "US". You appear to be the only person on this forum who has a 
problem with what he posts. So he is not confusing "us". It may be confusing to 
you and It may be "garbage" to You but not to others, otherwise there would 
have been posts from others! You are entitled to read it as you see fit but 
please do stop ridiculing religion. Everyone is entitled to their views just 
like you are but one can either accept them or ignore them. If they (the views) 
were in any way offensive, I am sure the Goanet admin would not have posted 
them.Btw, we are all "traditional goans" that's why most of us are on Goanet. 
For your info Mr Adrham's posts are verses from the Bible. If they were in any 
way offensive, the Goanet admin would not publish his posts.I humbly request 
you to kindly refrain from ridiculing ither Mr Argham or the contents of his 
posts.I thank you in advance.Take Care and Be Safe.Sent from my Samsung Galaxy

Mr Argham continues to regale and confuse us with gems from his Bible, the 
alleged inspired word of the Christian God.
Here are his recent quotes from John 1:1-4 & 14:

1 In the beginning was the Word,  and the Word was with God, and the Word was 
God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things came to be through him, and without him nothing came to be.
4. What came to be through him was life,  and this life was the light of the 
human race;
14 And the Word became flesh and  dwelt among us,...

It reads like a lot of garbage and Mr Argham does not elucidate. When a message 
is posted, it is meant to educate, enlighten, edify.
But Mr Argham does not explain. Perhaps as a traditional Goan, he fears to 
offend the Euro clerics who composed & authorised the text.
So what to do? He could ask a knowledgeable person, perhaps a senior local

More than once, I had tried to elicit some comment and had copied a post to the

May be he fears he cannot offer his own views without consulting the Vatican.

So dear Archbishop (or your assistant), could you kindly explain the four above
