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 […]
The TORAH, Written by the Hand of Moses, dictated the Living GOD of Israel, is Real or TRUE.
That is where we start this article, accepting that statement as FACT. For our purposes here, we will not go into the old arguments. If you are not able to accept that, then what is said here you will be unable to comprehend. Stop reading here. Read something else. How about: “You Should Know and Understand This:”
Still here? Good.
The rest of this article is about the Written TORAH of Moses along with the balance of the TANAKH(Old Testament). It is […]
There is a story about two pockets each with a note. From wikipedia entry about Simcha_Bunim_of _Pershischa: I use this entry “One of the more famous oral teachings attributed to Rabbi Simcha Bunim of Peschischa goes as follows: Everyone must have two pockets, with a note in each pocket, so that he or she can reach into the one or the other, depending on the need. When feeling lowly and depressed, discouraged or disconsolate, one should reach into the right pocket, and, there, find the words: “For my sake was the world created.” But when feeling high and mighty one […]
Our Father
Is there evidence that The Master of the Universe, Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, is OUR FATHER?
We have a few pieces of evidence to give us our answer. Working backwards we have:
First, in the Prophets we have Us referring to HIM as our Father, and we have HIM saying that we will call HIM, “My Father”, in these
Jeremiah 3:4 Didst thou not just now cry unto Me: ‘My father, Thou art the friend of my youth.
Jeremiah 3:19 But I said: ‘How would I put thee among the sons, and give thee a […]
Honor your father/mother!
This is One of the sayings, A part of the Covenant, Exodus 20:11, and held up to day by those wanting you to just do what I want. It has become a major control function by those not deserving what they demand. With all of the manipulation involved in this command, how does the LORD
Does Commandment Five really mean that? Does it really mean that you are to be a slave you parent?
NO! That is not what is intended. You are not to be a slave to you parents. BUT. . . .you are to […]
Created, “In Our Image”
I believe that “Genesis 1:26 And God said: ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness;” [Self-Talk]
It appears that we are made in the image of GOD, but exactly what is that image?
In Genesis 2:7 we get something from the Creator(we think of it as breathe), but in “Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said: ‘My spirit shall not abide in man for ever, for that he also is flesh; . . . .”
We learn that it is the SPIRIT OF GOD, breathed into the dirt becomes flesh. First thing in GOD’S […]
In The Beginning. . . . A great place to start, so here we go.
In the beginning of my life of seeking and learning. Actually, seeking to understand what was true, and learning that it is difficult to discover the truth most of the time.
When you are very young and do not know yet how to walk, you are prone to fall down a lot. It really does not to much because it does not hurt to bad. It might hurt only enough to encourage you to stay up right, hence do not fall. Later, when we are […]
To take a example from The Ed Sullivan Show, Ed himself.
Tonight we have a really, really big show. Or in this case a Really, Really, BIG WHY?
Straight out: Why did the Creator Of The Heavens and The Earth DO IT?
NO! The answer is not 42.
Seriously though, . . . . Do what?
Create: Light; Gravity; Strong nuclear force; Weak Nuclear Force; Speed of Light; Amino acids; Proteins; heavy elements; . . . . Animals; man; . . . .?
Why create all of this stuff, knowing man was bad, that HE(The LORD) will destroy the Heavens […]
Is there any such thing as “Unconditional Love”?
Yes, A mother and/or a Father of a New Born. The reason there is “Unconditional Love” at that time is clear. Without “Unconditional Love”, the species would have died out long ago, because of this screeming, crying, loud, annoying, eating, peeing, messy, nasty little copy of a human, “Unconditionally TRUSTING YOU” to give them everything they require to survive. At that point, except in rare occasions, the parents are filled with “Unconditional Love” and commitment to this “bundle of joy” which is their future.
Maybe we should start with what we mean […]
