That is it, a claim to fame! We are a Holy People!!! That is it, a claim to fame! We are a Holy People!!! On the other side is: They think they are better than us! Oh!, so now instead of a Holy People you claim CHOSEN!
To this end of proving that we are not holy, many have taken to REPLACING the Covenants and Agreements with the ALMIGHTY, declaring that they are holy and that those Covenants and Agreements are void because of our denial of the Holy One Of Our Fathers, The LIVING GOD.
There are many controversial […]

A response to: “Can man’s power of choice alter Divine destiny? Rabbi Yitzchak Botton.”
Divine destiny?? This is not in the Written Torah! This is not in the Tanakh.
The idea seems to be man made, because our High Holy Days liturgy declares that a determination of who is to die by: water, fire, old age, . . . . . is placed there by MAN. From a single entry: “Exodus 32:32 Yet now, if Thou wilt forgive their sin–; and […]
Journaling Prompt – Pretend you are dreaming. Write in detail about the dream you are having. You can use stream-of-consciousness, or plan it out. In this exercise you can have a lucid dream where you affect what is happening, or choose to have things happen without your control. ( It might help to first ask yourself what you want to dream about.)
What a opening? A prompt from my journal application, which I find appropriate for this topic, of Prophets.
What is a real prophet? Are there rules? Levels of tasks for the one called to be a prophet? For […]
“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Credited to Albert Einstein”
“My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all. Credited to Stephen Hawking”
The universe, as an accident is not only an improbability, it is an impossibility. The exception is found in those minds that require some other source for the universe.
Given that evidence, the logical proof is then, the universe as observed, must be created, designed, planned, providing us with enlightenment that; THERE IS A CREATOR […]
Why should we be concerned about relationship and sex laws?
I started of this in a different place and needed to rethink the idea of relationships. More a presentation from a different point of view, rather than a change in what I know and perform.
In today’s world, political correctness is literally killing the masses of people. No, not all in one day but over the decades and from many directions. Even with the dangers like: war, famine, disease, earth quakes and other such events, this is the single greatest hazard to the population earth. Political correctness is designed to […]
During our lives we will and have heard that phrase “Child of God” many times and from various sources. But, to quote from the “Princess Bride” movie:
[Vizzini has just cut the rope The Dread Pirate Roberts is climbing.] Vizzini: HE DIDN’T FALL? INCONCEIVABLE. Inigo Montoya: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means. {From imdb.com: quotes}
The point is: We often use words and phrases which sound good, without thinking about the meaning or consequence of such words. So let us look at the meaning of this “Child Of God”, for […]
This is probably the most disconcerting issue. No the answer is not 42!
Wait! That is the problem, we just don’t like the answer. So we keep looking for another answer.
Maybe we should start with a Written Torah example, where a man named Balak does not like the answer. So he tells Balaam to look at them(Children of Jacob) from here!
Well the story is in Numbers 22 thru 24. Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. He sees what the Israelites have done to the Amorites, and is afraid. He sends representatives to […]
While I was celebrating a Feast of Unleaven Bread dinner, a Holocaust Survivor, began a rant against the LIVING GOD OF Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
“Why should I server a selfish, jealous, maniacal, egotistical, self centered god? . . . . .”
I began a rebuttal with questions like: You should be able to fight your mother and your father, that gave you life and safety, clothed you and feed you and an education, and belong to a family, and . . . . .?
The immediate response is “I am just playing devil’s advocate!”
So here I am going […]
Why are most of us are worse than, the Pharaoh in the Exodus Story?
We spend our lives, not learning what is really important. That GOD is; also that Your soul, which is more valuable that anything you can desire, is yours to save or lose.
The Hebrews were out of Egypt in a few months of the LORD sending Moses and Aaron, which came, and said unto Pharaoh:, ‘Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.’ “Exodus 5:1”
Yes! Most are worse than Pharaoh, […]
Do unto others. . . .
The religions of the world have really been beating this one for a long time. I don’t see that this has improved the world.
Let us look at the examples of the text.
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/p/pt/pt0319.htm JPS 1917 Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
“ thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself”
This has a number of ramifications and willful (by humans) re-interpretations.
