It is my hope that I may present some insightful yet provocative food for thought. I welcome all who read this to ask questions. In fact please do not take anything I write at face value, rather research and verify the facts and form your own opinions.

Boy Child, Jesus Christ, Was Born On Christmas Day And Man Can Live Forevermore
Because Of Christmas Day</span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The year, 1978.
T'was just a few days after the U.S. Thanksgiving when Boney M released their
cover of the 1956 song by Jester Hairston:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Mary's Boy Child”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And though I was
not raised in a Christian home ( this is not to say it was a pagan, heathen or
satanic home, it just wasn't a Christian home) I did hear, as far back as I can
remember about G-d the Father, the creation of Adam and Eve. The flood of Noah's
day, Jonah, and the big Fish, and perhaps the grandest of all Biblical stories
- G-d's Son, Jesus, was born. And born of a virgin, at that!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I grew up hearing,
believing ( really never actually doubting, not even a little ) that Jesus
lived and ministered to people for three / three and a half years; that He died
for us, and our sins ( although I had no idea what that meant ); that He was
buried, and on the third day He was Raised from the dead ( He IS Risen ); and
that He will come again.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">This cover by
Boney M, of the 1956 song by Jester Hairston, was released when I was 16, just
after the US Thanksgiving, in 1978. From the moment I first heard the song, I
found these lyrics profoundly intriguing:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Oh my Lord, You
sent Your son to save us<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oh my Lord, Your
very self You gave us<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oh my Lord, That
sin may not enslave us<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And love may reign
once more”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">My eldest sister
was either in the midst of being or had just freshly been – “kicked out of the
Kingdom¹ ” - because, at least in part because, my two nephews 13-ish and 15,
weren't “living the lives of good JW's in their community”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My sister, a single mother, was given an
ultimatum, “get those boys under control, or you're excommunicated!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">My sister chose freedom
and ultimately life too and left the JW's. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, if you're wondering what the lines from
the song, I quote above, have to do with my late sister, her sons, and her
departure from the JW religious machine, the answer is simple - <b><u>JW's deny
the Holy Trinity</u></b>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I grew up
hearing tidbits from my sister about Christ Jesus, our Lord, all based upon the
JW perspective. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And when I first heard
the lines:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oh my Lord, You
sent Your son to save us</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">Oh my Lord, Your
very self You gave us</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Something, I can
explain it, but something jumped inside of me. I can recall talking to my
sister at Christmas, about those words, and she was a tad distant, and didn't
really say much. I do recall several Christmases past, where my folks and I, a
couple of my older brothers, and their families, along with my eldest sister
and her family would share time at Christmas, and my sister's JW views
oftentimes made celebrating December 25th... a challenge. I do not share
this disparage my late sister, or otherwise sully her good memory, rather I
share this to say that - along with growing up hearing about creation, the
flood of Noah's day, Jonah and the big Fish, and perhaps the grandest of all
Biblical stories - G-d's Son, Jesus, being born of a virgin, I also grew up
hearing ( with great frequency ) that Jesus was NOT born on December 25<sup>th</sup>.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">That point is
significant, especially to me in this day-and-age, as religious, elitist,
Groups are placing increased emphasis on - Jesus was NOT born on December 25<sup>th</sup>
- while ignoring the far, far more salient point:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">G-d became
Incarnate, G-d became a man!</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Anyways, I
digress... as time rolled forward, over the next four years, from November 1978
through December 1982, that song had an increasingly profound impact on
me. It was for Christmas, 1982, that my eldest sister ( no longer a
prisoner of the JW' cult, Hallelu-Yah!!! but also not yet had she surrendered
her life to Christ ) gave me a Holy Bible. My sister knew that I was
seeking, and gave me a Bible for Christmas, 1982, how cool is ^^^ that?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Then, very, very
late on December 31<sup>st</sup>, almost midnight, 1982, I began crying out to
G-d, desperately seeking G-d's ( Christ's ) presence in my life. A
fleeting, very few short seconds after Midnight New Years Eve, a.k.a. less than
a full minute even, I was suddenly flooded with doubts. Doubts I've
shared a couple of times at a Thursday Night Biker's Group @ 2911 Church in Tempe,
AZ. Doubts about the Great flood of Noah's day, the story of Jonah, David
and Goliath, the virgin birth and yes, even the Resurrection. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Those doubts were
bizarrely profound to me, largely because I'd never had any doubts about any of
those various Biblical accounts, ever, before. The agony of the doubts
weighed on me for 45 to perhaps 90 seconds, and then BAM ( as Chef Emeril John
Lagassé III, would say ) like a flood², driven by the Ruach HaKodesh, Adonai's
comfort came over me like a rushing stream², and I began to laugh.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now, remember, I'd
never doubted any of this, even for a moment for nearly 21 years, and all of a sudden,
I was burdened with agonizing doubts. And then, just as suddenly, by the
power G-d the Holy Ghost, I was comforted with a peace that, to this very day,
is beyond all descriptions³, and yes... I began to laugh, and laugh as I
shouted ( moments past Midnight, New Years Day, 1983 ) – “Hallelu-Yah, G-d my
saviour!” - and – “Ha! Satan you think you’re so clever, you liar, you.
Funny, how for nearly 21 years, I'd never doubted, and now suddenly after
giving my heart Jesus, your very creator, I become flooded with doubts?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Ha!”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">So, there I sat...
some 40 odd days shy of my 21<sup>st</sup> birthday ( I'd never considered the
40 days thing before just now... hmmm. Significant? I don't know...
interesting? You bet! ) alone, less than five minutes after midnight New Years
Day, 1983, and I just knew, that I knew, that I *KNEW* Jesus had become Lord of
my life, Master of my heart, and Saviour of my soul. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Oh, and my eldest
sister... elder by 25 full years, in 1986, some three and a bit years after I
became a Christian, surrendered her life to Yeshua's Lordship, thus becoming my
"little sister" in Christ! </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am also excited
to share that my eldest sister continued her walk with Christ for 30+ years,
until she passed away in October 2016. Although she's no longer with us,
in this earthly realm, she is, undoubtedly, with our Lord, Maker and Saviour
right now, in Paradise⁴!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shalom, and thank
you to my friends Jack, Jacob, Bradley, Jadin who've heard me share of my
"never doubted, even for a moment" story. Thank you to Shepherd, my
President and in many ways, my Pastor, for encouraging me. While I
continue to struggle with the process of finding ways to share things, such as
what I wrote out above, I celebrate the fact that I have the opportunity to
write the above out and share it across numerous Social Media platforms.
Shalom, Shalom!! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Please remember

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shalom to you all</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“No Jesus, NO

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">How does one get
to “know” Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple, invite Him into
your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with
me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff
means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well because the Bible tells
us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“If you declare
with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe
and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are
saved.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Romans 10:9-10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And for those of
you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or
“it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says
about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge
of the Holy One is understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs
9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If nothing else,
PLEASE read two chapters from the Bible – ( You don’t own one? Sorry NO excuse,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">John 3:16 says:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">I do not mean this
in any sort of disrespectful way, but it is my very sincere view, a.k.a. <a href="https://bit.ly/2UgQ62V">Dabauzstake</a> ( my opinion ) that the “<a href="https://bit.ly/3PyASiC">Translation Team of The Tree Of Life Version</a>”
of the Holy Bible is grossly mistaken, yes… flat out WRONG even, in their
uncited claims that – “Some say that the book[sic] was renamed to honor King
James for funding, in 1611 ...” – see Figure ii. The KJV Bible is many things,
including far from being perfect, inerrant or even “<a href="https://bit.ly/464xpQ3">the one good enough for the Apostle Paul</a><sup>7</sup>”,
but…<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, the KJV did not have the name
of Jacob, changed to James at the behest of king James.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Nor was the KJV the first English Bible to
render Jacob / Ya’akov ( יעקב ) as James, for either the text found in Galatians
1:19, or the name of the New Testament Book “James”.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJ4bltBaxNqwQv7s8D3adkssomBNmjqwA-yUU5uQStzDzTDVRRC7SNr8y-cq-83v3gqLmjC3G4MydmmLSz3JQ3996DF1bE2GdLvd65Ye3XqLzHVsE54nIALG3LtOjO93jXAyae0Pp_-cRnC06NKJAvJoXAEGXKcdzwObCyiNdKViq9DaruzvNN_Z8Vg0X/s2048/Introduction%20to%20Book%20of%20James%20TLV.jpg" style="clear: left; display: block; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="842" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglJ4bltBaxNqwQv7s8D3adkssomBNmjqwA-yUU5uQStzDzTDVRRC7SNr8y-cq-83v3gqLmjC3G4MydmmLSz3JQ3996DF1bE2GdLvd65Ye3XqLzHVsE54nIALG3LtOjO93jXAyae0Pp_-cRnC06NKJAvJoXAEGXKcdzwObCyiNdKViq9DaruzvNN_Z8Vg0X/w632-h842/Introduction%20to%20Book%20of%20James%20TLV.jpg" width="632" /></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;"></span></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption"><br /></p><p class="MsoCaption">Figure <!--[if supportFields]><span style='mso-element:

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Here are four (4)
reasons for my opinion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">There are three primary
reasons, and one lesser reason, for why I hedge, or hesitate, on the ideology
that king James was the first to change Ya’akov ( יעקב ) to James, let alone
that king James maliciously took the name Ya’akov ( יעקב ) and changed it to
James, because he was funding the <a href="https://bit.ly/3PwBHIF">KJV Bible</a>:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">First - Roman
Catholicism... this is not meant as a slight against Roman Catholicism, rather
an observation. Roman Catholicism is no friend of Protestantism on many
levels.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus I have a hard time
believing that the various English versions of the Roman Catholic Bibles would
translate Galatians 1:19 using the name James, instead of Jacob / Ya’akov ( יעקב
) if it truly was a malicious change by king James and his cohorts... </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">That ^^^ just by
itself is obviously not even remotely conclusive, but I think it is worthy of
contemplation. Even if it is largely anecdotal in nature.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Second - There is
an argument to be made that the Latin, Iacomus <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(or Jacomus ) was adapted by the French which
they truncated into Gemmes ( or Jammes ). Then, from there, the English
took it and made it James¹. The Bible française du XIIIe siècle⁶ was
written sometime after A.D. 1220 nearly 400 years before the KJV was written,
and almost 350 years before king James was even born².</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Third - John
Wickliffe and colleagues began the translation work in the 1370s³.
"In the 14th century, John Wycliffe made the first Bible translation into
English and translated Iakobus as James. ( However, in both the Old and New
Testaments he arbitrarily used the name Jacob for the patriarch ). In all
future English translations the name stuck⁴." This late 14th century
English rendering, A.D. 1382, pre-dates the birth of king James by more than
180 years.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">The second and
third points aren't 100% unwaveringly conclusive, but I think they are
compelling points. Collectively, I think that all three together make a
great case for not arguing that – ‘The change from of Jacob / Ya’akov ( יעקב )
to James, was something king James initiated, caused or even inspired.’</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">A fourth
interesting point, in support of why I remain hesitant to accept the uncited
claim by the author(s) of the introduction to the New Testament Book commonly
known as James, in the TLV Bible, is that, "... the name James means
the same exact thing as Jacob - “supplanter” or substitute ..."⁵ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I definitely believe that this is a worthwhile
point to ponder.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Shalom to you all</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“No Jesus, NO
peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">How does one get
to “know” Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple, invite Him into
your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with
me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff
means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well because the Bible
tells us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“If you declare
with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe
and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are
saved.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Romans 10:9-10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">And for those of
you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or
“it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says
about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge
of the Holy One is understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Proverbs
9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">If nothing else,
PLEASE read two chapters from the Bible – ( You don’t own one? Sorry NO excuse,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">John 3:16 says:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">And John 14:6
says: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No one comes to the Father except through me.”</span></p>

percent (0.001% or 0.00001) of all living species have been, allegedly,

presently living species, in view of the past, so-called, “Five Mass

been over two trillion species at some point in Earth's, alleged, 4.5-billion-year
history. But at a 99.9% extinction rate, that number balloons to a
staggering - 10¹⁵ - past living species. That is a 1 followed by 15
zeros, or one quadrillion species... </span><img alt="😂" height="32" src="file:///C:/Users/writz/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image001.png" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_3" width="32" /><img alt="🤣" height="32" src="file:///C:/Users/writz/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image002.png" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_2" width="32" /><img alt="😅" height="32" src="file:///C:/Users/writz/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image003.png" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;" v:shapes="Picture_x0020_1" width="32" /></p>

once every 114,000,000 years, we'd see #LUCA go from One species (first life)
to two ( #LUCA<sup>2</sup> ?) over the first 114 million years. Then,
over the next 886 million years we'd see an additional eight “doubling”
events. This would give us #LUCA<sup>3</sup> through LUCA<sup>1,024</sup>,
as time passed the first One Billion Years. Then, over the next 2.3
billion years (leading up to just before the First Mass Extinction, some c.~3.3
billion years ago) we'd see LUCA<sup>1</sup> through LUCA<sup>1,024</sup>
literally explode to Species<sup>2.68*10^8</sup> giving us some c.~ 2.68*10<sup>8</sup>
living species as we entered the “dark” days of the *FIRST* of the dreaded “Five
Mass Extinctions”.<br />
<br />
Over the next c.~ 400 million years, Earth would experience devastation that
would make all of the woke 21<sup>st</sup> century's - “it's all man's fault” -
BS, look like child's play! Although the next c.~ 400 million years, from
c.~ 450 million years ago to c.~ 65 million years ago, would give rise to
some c.~ 470 million new species, sadly the “Five Mass Extinctions” would
obliterate nearly Three-Quarters of a billion (c.~ 750,000,000) of Earth's
precious species. As the fifth of the “Five Mass Extinctions” saw its
conclusion, our Earth would be left with c.~ 5.1 million living species (one of
which might be your "great" uncle Joe!)<br />
<br />
Utilizing the c.~ 114 million year doubling rate we can see that in the
intervening 65 million years, since the demise of the Dino's, would
conveniently give us c.~ 9 million living species by A.D. 2023, approximately
100,000 more than what scientists estimate (notwithstanding the assertion
Indiana University's study<sup>2</sup> from A.D. 2016) of some c.~ 8.9
million living species today!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You can call Christianity
a myth, all you want... that changes nothing... the myth....</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The real myth is… claiming
that - G-d (Jesus) never existed...</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Shalom</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“No Jesus, NO
peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">How does one get
to “know” Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple, invite Him into
your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with
me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff
means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well because the Bible
tells us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“If you declare
with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe
and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and
are saved.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Romans 10:9-10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And for those of
you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or
“it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says
about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge
of the Holy One is understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs
9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If nothing else,
PLEASE read two chapters from the Bible – (don’t own one, sorry NO excuse, if
you’re reading this, you can access this: </span><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%203:16&version=NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">) John 3 and John

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">John 3:16 says:
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And John 14:6
says: “Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes
to the Father except through me.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Well that’s it,

+/- 75 years, or about 2204 BC, the flood waters had receded sufficiently for
Noah and his sons, Shem, Ham and Japheth, and their wives, along with the
myriad animals on the Ark, to disembark, and began their new lives.<sup>4</sup></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">In the year 1657 AM +/- 75 years, or 2204
BC +/- 75 years, with the flood waters receding, about a year after the flood
began, in 1656 AM we read - “And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first

dried up from off ha’aretz (Earth); and Noach removed the mikhseh (covering) of

least a statistical chance at nearly 10 trillion<sup>4</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet… only eight (8) humans survived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Alas, I digress, back to tracing humankind
from Adam to Moses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">From the conclusion of the flood, through
to the birth Abraham, the timeframe encompasses nearly 400<sup>5 </sup>years (393
years), bringing us to 2,050 AM (years since the creation of Adam), or roughly
1811 BC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In the c.~ 400 years from Shem
to Abraham, we have some characters of notable notoriety, namely Nimrod<sup>6</sup>,
Job<sup>7</sup> and of course a Pharaoh<sup>8</sup> or two!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Continuing our quest of tracing humankind
from Adam to Moses, now will need to peruse a few different Chapters from
Genesis, to follow the genealogies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>From
Abraham to Joseph, we have approximately 250 years<sup>9</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(</span><span lang="EN-CA"><a href="https://bit.ly/3iMqMfd"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jacob’s

1561 BC.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For the final three people, in
this review of the line from Adam to Moses, being Kohath, Amram and then Moses,
we need to work backwards a little bit from when history tells us Moses lived<sup>11</sup>,
and take into account three other things, A) - that Moses is actually a
descendent of Levi’s (Levi is Joseph’s older brother<sup>12</sup>), and not a
descendant of Joseph, B) - that up to this point in the process of tracking
Adam to Moses, we have already covered a timespan of some c.~ 2,300 years out
of a total c.~ 2,500 years +/- 75 years since Adam (leaving only about c.~200
years +/- 50 years), and C) of the c.~ 425 years from Abraham to Moses, we have
covered some c.~ 250 years, ergo… once again, we have approximately 175 years
+/- 25 years left unaccounted for.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With
A, B and C in mind, let us now consider the info we do have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Moses, we are told, lived to be 120<sup>13</sup>
years of age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If pick a single date, say 1267<sup>14</sup>
BC (out of a date range of 1472 BC - 1251 BC) for estimating Moses’ year of
death, taking what we know about Moses being 120<sup>13</sup> years old when he
passed away, we can approximate his year of birth at c.~ 1491 BC (this would
also equate to approximately 2,370 AM) these numbers would move, smaller or
larger with the date ranges provided, depending on source(s) relied on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Continuing this process</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><b><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“No Jesus, NO
peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">How does one get
to “know” Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple, invite Him into
your heart, as Jesus says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone
hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with
me.” [</span><span lang="EN-CA"><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Revelation

assured that this Jesus stuff means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well because the Bible tells us so, as the Apostle Paul wrote:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">“If you declare
with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him
from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe
and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and
are saved.” [</span><span lang="EN-CA"><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Romans

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">And for those of
you who say to me, I can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or
“it’s a waste of my time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says
about wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge
of the Holy One is understanding.” [</span><span lang="EN-CA"><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a></span><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">]</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-CA" style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt;">And John 14:6

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Religions and Religious Systems the world over share
one common theme:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Religion (<a href="https://bit.ly/3ahc9M1">Organized
Religion</a> ⁵) Sucks</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Adherents of ALL¹ Religious System(s) are expected,
even required, to meet said Religious System(s)' Deity(ies)' (or the Religious
System's ideological) standard(s) of conduct</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The sole purpose, and function, of Religious Systems
is to control the masses... to manipulate adherents of the various Religious
Systems into submissive compliance with the Religious Systems' Deity's /
deities' / ideologies' will, or wills.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Many will argue / point out that - "Don't you
know that "Atheism" cannot be a religion, as it has no
deity!" A similar claim has been made by some that Satanism is not
really a religion either, because it has no formal deity... the contemporary
argument is that - "Satanism is a philosophy, and that "satan"
is just an ideology, or an ideological ideal, but not really a
deity." Well... Buddhism has no formal deity either, and it is
recognized as a religion / Religious System.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Do Religious Systems like Islam, Judaism, Satanism,
Buddhism and even religious-christianity, hold adherents to some expectation of
meeting certain standards of conduct, as a requisite condition of love from (or
acceptance by) said Religious System's deity / deities / ideological ideals?
I do believe so, yes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Let us look at Satanism, first - "Memberships may
be terminated... at the discretion of the ruling body of the Church of Satan
consisting of the High Priest, the High Priestess, and the Council of
Nine." ³ and "...membership operates on a system of
degrees... One must apply *and be approved* for an active membership, and
this is subject to one's answers to a lengthy series of questions. Promotion
to... higher degree[s] is by invitation only, and the requirements for each
degree are not open to the public." - a.k.a. "Meet certain standards
of conduct, as a requisite condition of acceptance by said Religious System's
ideological ideals."</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next, let us look at Judaism... does Judaism, Orthodox
or Reform, require or at least infer that its adherents meet certain
minimum standards (G-d's perfect standards) to be accepted? Again, it is
my very firm belief that, "yes, Judaism (both Orthodox and Reform) has
requisite conditions, for acquisition and sustention, of membership within its
Religious System." The TaNaKh, or Christian Old Testament, is awash
with examples, beginning with Adam, carrying through to the Persian king, Cyrus,
II Chronicles 36:23 - "Thus says Cyrus king of Persia..." - of people
citing, describing, declaring standards of conduct by the adherents of the
Religious System. We begin with a simple, single, albeit 23-word-long
Command from G-d (Christ) - "...but of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it
you shall surely die.” - Genesis 2:17, ESV. From the disobedience to
that one single Command, and the consequences attached to disobedience, we
arrive at first - the Seven Noahide Laws (which come from the Talmud, ergo
NOT really Biblical laws - ²), the Seven Noahide Laws² are:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"1. Do not deny God (no idolatry).<br />
2. Do not murder.<br />
3. Do not steal.<br />
4. Do not engage in sexual immorality.<br />
5. Do not blaspheme.<br />
6. Do not eat of a live animal (no eating flesh taken from an animal while it
is still alive).<br />
7. Establish courts and legal systems to ensure obedience of these laws."
²</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The 6th one is particularly intriguing, even with the
"Got Questions" qualifier in parentheses included (which marries with
Genesis 9:4, very well), because of what we read in Genesis Chapter Nine, verse
3 - "Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you." - you see,
pre-flood, all animal life was intended to be vegetarian. It is my firm
belief that, part of the - "...wickedness of man [that] was great in the
earth..." - Genesis 6:5, was the consumption of meat, animal flesh (cooked
and raw). I assert this because, A) - first and foremost, the wording of
Genesis 1:29 & 30 support this view. This is1 where G-d said to His
creatures, both human and animals alike:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“29 Behold, I have given you every plant yielding
seed... on... the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit... for
food. 30 And to every beast... bird... and to everything that
creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every
green plant for food.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"I give you every green plant for food”!!
No mention of anyone, human or animal, being told to eat meat. And B) -
the mere fact that G-d saw fit to inspire Noah to declare, as Moses recorded
later, what we read in Genesis 9:3</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Continuing on from the Seven Noahide Laws, we have the
"Ten Commandments", Deuteronomy 5:1 - 21 and Exodus 20:1 - 17, given
by G-d, yeah even written (both times) directly by the very finger of G-d
(Christ) - Exodus 31:18 & Deuteronomy 9:10 - in fact, with the original tablets
of the Ten Commandments, we're told very plainly that G-d orated these
Commandments - "The LORD spoke these commands in a loud voice to your
entire assembly from the fire, cloud..." - Deuteronomy 5:22 HCSB - G-d
spoke, in a loud voice, to the entire assembly (and He did so) before He
scribed the Ten Commandments into the stone tablets... </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And then, continuing through the remaining Books of
the Old Testament (TaNaKh) with inputs from the Talmud, we find some <a href="https://bit.ly/3slRCfq">613 additional Rabbinical Commands</a> ⁴, yet we
know that “<a href="https://bit.ly/32k6u3s">The Just Shall Live by Faith</a>” <sup>6</sup>
from Scripture. And a simple theme that can be seen, from Adam's fall,
through to Babylonian exile, is that man, very simply put, cannot in any way,
shape or form, meet G-d's standards. Humankind, it would seem, is
hopelessly lost... and really... we are, outside of Christ that is, at
least. So, question... did G-d spend (as the "atheists",
satanists, and other nay-sayers claim) nearly 4,000 years, from Adam to Jesus,
trying in vain to redeem man? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Does the Old Testament / TaNaKh then depict a hapless,
emaciated, milquetoast gawd? I certainly do not think so, not for one
micro-second. Instead, what the 4,000 years of seemingly never-ending
addition of new laws depicts, in my view, is a G-d who is so patient, in His
all-knowing way about humankind's stiff-necked pride, and so compassionate
toward His creation, humans, and so passionate about His plan of Salvation for
His creation, humans that...</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">That He invested nearly 4,000 years of pre-recorded
and recorded history (up to roughly c.~ 400 BC) to lay out the Incontrovertible
facts that - man cannot redeem himself! That man cannot, in and of himself,
meet Judaism's Deity's standard(s) of conduct</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Now that's ^^^ love, patients, and devotion.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Third, let us explore religious-christianity, does
religious-christianity (legalistic christianity) require, or at least
infer that, its adherents meet certain minimum standards (G-d's perfect
standards) to be accepted? You tell me... are there legalistic christian
Groups which tell their adherents - "you must obey, or you're either not
truly sincere, or you're deluded. Either way, Christ will say to you -
"Depart from me, for I never knew you”.”? I believe the answer to this
to be, sadly (even if well intentioned) yes.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In short, Religious Systems require their adherents
to:</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">comply with their deity's / deities' / ideological
views or standard(s) of conduct </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">to (hopefully, yet without certainty) garner the acceptance,
and approval of the Religious System's deity's / deities' / ideological
ideals' set(s) of standards... Islam does this, Buddhism does this, Hinduism
does this, Satanism does this, yes... even Judaism and religious-christianity
do this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">wow, that is one tough gig! </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now consider Biblical Christianity... what makes
Biblical Christianity, and the Christian's G-d, who is Jesus the Christ /
Yeshua ha Mashiach (Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef) stand alone, apart, and wholly
unique amongst tens of thousands, if not hundreds of millions of other deities?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">"...<span style="background: white; color: #001320;">G-d
proves His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for
us." - Romans 5:8, Berean Study Bible</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #001320; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">While we were still

absolutely #noKnowledgeAbsentGd!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Is the U.S. Democrat Party, of 2021, Fascist and / or neo-Nazi
in terms of fundamental values, practices, and platforms?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">During the 1920’s, just over one hundred years ago, a
man named Adolf Hitler, who joined the political party then known, in 1919, as
the "Deutsche Arbeiterpartei", or DAP (which is the German Workers'
Party), changed to the name in 1920 to the "Nationalsozialistische
Deutsche Arbeiterpartei", or NSDAP (the ‘National Socialist German
Workers' Party, also more commonly known as... the Nazi Party). [<sup>1</sup>]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Through
the years 1919 to the mid 1930’s, Hitler and his ilk, embarked on a systematic campaign
of purifying the NSDAP.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The purge began first
with dissenters, those who dared to even question, never mind outright defy, the
Führer’s gawd-like ego’s edicts being censored, then eventually censured, even arrested,
and removed from the Reichstag [<sup>2</sup>] / Reichsrat [<sup>2</sup>].<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">In 1933, on Monday 27 February 1933, the Reichstag [<sup>2</sup>]
building (the German parliament or legislative building) was intentionally set
ablaze, in an act of arson [<sup>3</sup>] dubbed, “The Reichstag Fire”. [<sup>3</sup>]
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conspiracy theories abound, I mean...
who in their right mind would set their own Country’s Capitol Building on fire,
or initiate a violent siege of said Capitol Building (6 January 2021 Washington,
DC), right?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Irrespective of conspiracy
theories regarding the cause of this fire, “The Nazi leadership and its German
Nationalist coalition partners exploited the fire to persuade [the sitting]
President Paul von Hindenburg…” A) that members of other parties within the
German legislature were actively “…planning a violent uprising to derail [the
nation’s stability, claiming] that emergency legislation was needed to prevent
this.” [<sup>3</sup>] - and B) “… [to suspend] the right to assembly, freedom
of speech, freedom of the press, and other constitutional protections,
including all restraints on police investigations.” - ALL in the name of Protecting
the Reich (the land, or country).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On March 23, 1933, less than one month after “The
Reichstag Fire”, the Nazi’s passed something dubbed the “The Enabling Act” [<sup>4</sup>]
“The Law to Remedy the Distress of the People and the Reich”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Under this Act, the Nazi’s placed Hitler in a
position of absolute (E.O.-writing) dictatorial power, “[allowing Hitler] … to
enact laws, including ones that violated the Weimar Constitution, without
approval of either parliament or Reich President…” [<sup>4</sup>]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Did you catch that?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“…enact laws [Executive Orders], including ones that
violated the Constitution, without approval of either parliament (Congress)…”
or the Senate and even ignored by the Supreme Court! [<sup>4</sup>]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“…the passage of this law depended upon a two-thirds
majority vote in [the Reich] … to ensure the [desired] outcome… [the Nazi’s] prevented…
[members of other German legislative Parties] from taking their seats, [even] detaining
[some of] them in so-called protective detention in Nazi-controlled camps.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, as already mentioned above, “The Supreme
Court did nothing to challenge the legitimacy of this measure. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead, it accepted the majority vote,
overlooking the absence of the… [members of the other German legislative
Parties] who were under arrest.” [<sup>4</sup>]</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Now, the point of all of the above isn’t be all doom, gloom,
and despair...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is instead, I hope N’
pray, intended as a good, perhaps even an abrupt, wake-up call… alas, all is
NOT glib and hopeless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of these
things going on, from the persecution of the Jews, to the very repetition of history
(Ecclesiastes 1:10 - “Is there a case where one can say, "Look, this is
new"? It has already existed in the ages before us.” See also Ecclesiastes
3:15 and 6:10, go ahead, L@@K them up, it’ll do your heart and soul some real
good) have all been foretold, long, long ago.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; font-variant: small-caps;">allaah (of Islam)
and YHVH the same deity<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">#RAD </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">#ATEND G-d (Christ) </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">#IIC714</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Are allaah (of Islam) and YHVH the same
deity?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Let's L@@K and see, and consider a few
things... shall we?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Some query, and understandably so, “WHY?”
regarding the assertion that both allaah (of Islam) and YHVH are obviously the
same deity because… they both - “…command killing all people who didn’t do what
they wanted.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If someone was perpetually presenting
themselves to your children as “a good, up right, and decent person”, but was
constantly leading your kids into trouble (and I'm not talking about minor
trouble, like breaking a few car or house windows, but serious trouble... like
rape, torture, violent assault and attempted murder...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Would you stand by and do NOTHING, or...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Might you not - “...command the killing
all” people who *didn’t do what you wanted*???<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">*Remembering, ‘doing what you wanted’ in
this context, is protecting YOUR children... much as YHVH doing what YHVH did
in the Old Testament, because He was protecting His children, Israel!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now, think Old Testament (TaNaKh) edicts
which call for the eradication of evil peoples leading G-d's (Christ's) chosen
people into all manner of shit-storms... and contrast that against the wanton
killing of non-Muslims, as commanded by allaah in the Qur'an, solely because
allaah, of Islam, said so.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Some say things like:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Your god made it all the way it is, if
god is the creator/maker, then...” and “Then the maker is responsible for his
product.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Consider these three points...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">#1 - It's been said (as many clearly and
plainly say) that “I/we believe they are the same deity”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Most people cite the basic concept of
destroying those who oppose the deity, as the primary reason... but are they
(Islam's allaah and YHVH) really that similar?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Islam's gawd, allaah, commanded/commands
that any, and all, who even dare question allaah, be exterminated... and for no
reason, other than allaah said so... [<sup>1</sup>]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It is claimed that the G-d of the Old
Testament / TaNaKh, YHVH also like Islam's gawd, allaah, commanded/commands any
and all who even question Him, be exterminated... and for no reason, other than
He said so... but is that really the case?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don not think so, let's look at why...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">YHVH's commands, as I wrote earlier, to
eradicate others, was/is to protect His children, just as you or I might behave
to protect our own children... that's one of three points...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">#2 - It was introduced that the idea that -
“god made them (those who opposed His own edicts) therefore He is responsible...”
(paraphrasing what others wrote earlier, a little)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If you have a car, a brand-new car, and it
breaks down, you have the maker's /manufacturer’s warranty to help fix
things... right?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">If your car is parked in a parking lot,
and some asswhipe vandals, destroy it... would you *BLAME* the manufacturer for
the damages? Would you rant on, using Twitter or any other Social Media about
how “The manufacturer made the car, so it's their responsibility to FIX the “Obviously
screwed up mess” they made!”?” Or might you rightly blame the irresponsible
vandals?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That's two, and... for the
third point<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">#3 - The alleged similarities between
allaah and YHVH disappear pretty quickly when one looks at what each deity says,
from their own sources, and NOT at what others tell you they say (or “really”
mean)...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In the Qur'an, allaah says he "has NO
son..." [<sup>2</sup>]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In the Bible, G-d the Father says, of Jesus,
"This is my son" [<sup>3</sup>]<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Allaah, of Islam says that "If you
love him, he will love you back" [<sup>4</sup>] (and even that is
conditional, and not certain... the Qur'an makes it clear that if allaah
chooses NOT to love you back, that is his choice [<sup>4</sup>])<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">YHVH, conversely says: "while you
were yet sinners, Christ died for YOU!" [<sup>5</sup>] That's #three...
that's it...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">There is no sin, none at all, worse than
rejecting Christ...<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You can call it a myth, all you want...
that changes nothing... the myth.... <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The real myth is… claiming that - G-d
(Jesus) never existed...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #c00000;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a></span></span>]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="color: #c00000;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a></span></span>]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

paraphrase - “...being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God

A)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In Exodus 20:13
& Deuteronomy 5:17 we see they both say - “Thou shalt not kill” - in the
KJV<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In Exodus 21:12,
15, 16, 17 & 29, we see that they all say - “...put to death.” - in the KJV<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Doesn't the phrase
(as found in Exodus 21:12, 15, 16, 17 & 29) -<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>'put to death' - not mean “to kill”? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, clearly it does. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, again as we just read in Exodus 20:13
& Deuteronomy 5:17 - G-d (Christ) said - “do NOT *Kill*...” - is this NOT
an apparent contradiction?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We often offer, as
an explanation for this, “apparent contradiction”, that - “In the KJV, in the
verses found in Exodus 20:13 & Deuteronomy 5:17, when we read the words “do
not kill”, we must understand that in the context of the Ten Commandments they
are being used in sense of, or they *really* mean - “do not murder”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Have you ever used that, or something like
that as an explanation for why there appears to be an apparent disparity
between the words “do NOT kill” as found in Exodus 20:13 & Deuteronomy
5:17, and the words “put to death” found in Exodus 21:12, 15, 16, 17 & 29?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And I’ve heard many Christian also use that very explanation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Notice now though,
that if we read those same passages in the NIV (Yes, the "EVIL" and
allegedly horribly “corrupted” NIV) it says, in both cases, for Exodus 20:13
and Deuteronomy 5:17 - “You shall not murder.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Notice also that,
in the NIV in Exodus 21:12, 15, 16, 17 & 29, the words (which agree with
the KJV here) all say - “...put to death.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">While the words
'put to death' (capital punishment) and 'kill' clearly mean, pretty much the
same thing, the words 'murder' and 'put to death' (capital punishment) do not
even remotely mean, or imply, the same things. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Did the KJV translators add to, alter or
otherwise take away from the Sacred texts? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Isn't it interesting that, with the 'perfect'
(even “inspired”) KJV, Exodus 20:13 & Deuteronomy 5:17 both require
SECONDARY EXPLANATIONS to “splain” away why one Chapter of Exodus (20) says 'do
not kill', yet in the very next Chapter, (the 21<sup>st</sup>), it says, 'put
to death' (execute, or 'kill')... these are seemingly contradictory directives.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But... that
"evil" NIV requires no such Secondary Explanations!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Part A) question -
why is the KJV superior?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Part B) question -
is the KJV really superior?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The words translated into English for
Matthew 12, in the KJV translation, do NOT agree with the words used in Jonah,
in the KJV...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a whale is NOT a huge
fish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But, the words translated into English for
Matthew 12, in the NIV translation, DO agree with the words used in Jonah, in
the NIV...<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a huge fish is... a huge
fish.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Hebrew word used in Jonah, dag,
pronounced 'dawg' ( דָּאג ), means fish, not whale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While the Greek word<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>kétos, pronounced 'kay'-tos' ( κῆτος ) can
legitimately mean either fish or whale.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>One word, “fish”, agrees with the passage in Jonah, the other word, “whale”,
does not agree with the passage in Jonah.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">In fact, the Hebrew word tannin,
pronounced 'tan-neen' ' ( תַּנִּין ), which can be found in Job 7:12; Ezekiel
32:2 and Ezekiel 32:2, and which can be translated into English as:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">dragon, sea-monster, serpent, or whale<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">is <u>NOT used in Jonah</u>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">As one can see from Job 7:12; Ezekiel 32:2
& Isaiah 27:1 the English word “whale”, which is derived from Hebrew the
word tannin, pronounced 'tan-neen' ' ( תַּנִּין ), is not the same Hebrew word
used in Jonah.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The point?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The point is simple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is the KJV a bad Bible?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NO!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is
the KJV inerrant, perfect, or even remotely "inspired"?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NO!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Ergo, we have two members of the #GHADE who cant seem to agree on whether:<br />
<br />
“Distance increases, or decreases, as brightness and size likewise increase or
decrease” or “No. Not all objects are equally bright.”<br />
<br />
Now, let’s break this all down to see how wholly circular the reasoning, and
methodology even, is in asserting many (admittedly, NOT all) Astronomical values
for distances claimed, really is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<br />

becoming a Christian - “How can folk (“pre-Adamic race” / “gap theory” minded

( הָיָה ) can mean, how does anyone “decide”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How do we decide?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Back to my
earlier question(s), just like I've asked elsewhere - “How does one decide, and
upon what criteria, is the Earth determined <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><u><span style="font-variant: small-caps;">not</span></u></i></b> to be less than six thousand years old?” And
“Upon what criteria is it determined that dinosaurs died nearly 100 million
years ago?” I now ask, “Upon what criteria does one conclude the Hebrew
word hayah ( הָיָה ), as used in Genesis 1:2, means *became* vs *was*?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

by G-d, to - “<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M347bP">Raise a
lamentation over the king of Tyre</a></span>” - and many people I know
immediately stop there and say - “Dude, that has nothing to do with your
Lucifer / Satan tripe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's just about ‘the
king of Tyre’ stop conflating things.” - but, in the second part of verse 12,
and in the very next verse, as well as subsequent verses, we see an exceedingly
interesting point, or set of points:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Most people, with even just a remote understanding of
the Biblical texts, should very readily see two problems in the above two
points, with respect to the king Tyre. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A)
- his lifetime was, at a minimum, hundreds (my best guess is about 3,000) years
after Adam, and after Adam's banishment from Eden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And B) we know from Scripture, <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M5qzkt">Isaiah 53:6</a></span> &
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2kICKqD">Romans 3:23</a></span>,
that no one, since Adam, has been “created blameless, in perfection, or in Eden”.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Clearly, this passage in Ezekiel has,
some broader meaning, or meanings, to it than being - “just about the king of
Tyre”!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, Scripture is unclear /
misleading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As I do not believe
Scripture can contradict Scripture, or be unclear, I’m convinced it must have some
broader meanings. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I therefore submit
to you, that this collection of text, also refers to Satan, and his creation,
position in heaven and subsequent rebellion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next, let's now look at Job, and what he has to say
about Lucifer's early days. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many suggest
that, while much of Job is poetic, <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M3zsv3">Chapter 38</a></span> comes to mind, and verses <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M3lbhK">four through seven</a></span>
of Chapter 38 have been attributed by many to suggest angels, including Satan
(pre-rebellion) witnessed G-d creating.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This line of thinking is often used to bolster the alleged “gap” in
Genesis Chapter One, verse two, where the English word “was”, it is argued,
should be swapped in favour of the English word “became” for the English
rendering the Hebrew word hayah ( הָיָה ); but is this a reasonable, or fair,
conclusion to draw?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Does Satan
witnessing G-d creating prove when Satan was created?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It certainly supports the conclusion that
Satan witnessed, at least part of G-d’s creative efforts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, does it really support the alleged “gap”
in Genesis Chapter One, verse two?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
really do not believe it does, no. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The argument goes, in its most rudimentary form,
that... “As Satan, and the other angels witnessed G-d creating everything, surely,

we read of Satan's banishment from Heaven.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Given the use of the word “dragon” (used eight times between verses <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M3D28t">3 and 17</a></span>), and
its connection with Satan, six times in verses <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M6NCLR">7 to 17</a></span>, it seems reasonable to
conclude that the dragon referred to in verses <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M3ncL6">3 and 4</a></span>, can also reasonably be
concluded to be about Satan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And it is
with the phrase found in Revelation 12:4 - “<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M2U32w">His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven

to be rendered as “was”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This of course

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Let's consider the latter, first, shall we?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When did Satan rebel? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If Satan's rebellion does not relate to some
vaguely inferred period, eons before <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xQi0Hk">Genesis 1:3</a></span>, then when?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Scripture says nowhere - “And this is when
Satan rebelled” - we can, in all fairness, only at best hypothesize the “when”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Referencing <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xVd1W2">Genesis 1:31</a></span>, Satan's rebellion seems
likely to have occurred sometime following Day Six.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Genesis <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2JjTOys">Chapter Three, verse 8</a></span> we read of G-d “…<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2JjTOys">walking in the Garden in the
cool of the day</a></span>…” - although <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2JlDGfD">Genesis Chapter Three</a></span> is primarily
about man's fall from grace (sin), this verse carries with it the implication
that it was a common practice for G-d, and Adam & Eve, to be walking
together in the cool of the day, each evening.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Why this implication is significant to Satan's fall, is perhaps more
closely tied to the “why” of Satan's rebellion, than to the “when” of his
rebellion, but it's a salient point nonetheless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And that saliency is this, the “Very Good”
status of EVERYTHING in G-d's creation covered some, albeit an indeterminate, <u>period
of time</u>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Man's, Adam's, sin
(rebellion) threw the whole world into a progressively worsening catastrophic
state of failure, or collapse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It can additionally be inferred that, because one of
the very first Commands of G-d to man was - “<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xROiBS">Be fruitful and multiply</a></span>…” - <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xROiBS">Genesis Chapter One verse 28</a></span>,
and that in <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xVd1W2">Genesis
Chapter One verse 31</a></span> G-d calls EVERYTHING VERY GOOD, man (Adam and
Eve) must have been complying with said Command.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keeping this thought in mind, now consider
what we read in <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xUxutI">Genesis
Chapter Four, verse 25</a></span> where we read <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xUxutI">Eve bore another son, Seth</a></span>; followed by
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2Joyyro">Genesis Chapter Five
verse three</a></span> we read that <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2Joyyro">Adam was 130 years old, when Seth was birthed</a></span>.
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thus, from “G-d walking with man in the
Garden, with man”, to Seth's birth when Adam was 130 years old, we can safely
conclude Satan's rebellion happened LESS than 130 years, post the creation of
man.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This now only leaves the one remaining “why” question,
“Why did Satan rebel?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And my best guess
for that one, based upon Scripture, is:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Satan had been, according to what we read in <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M3zsv3">Job 38</a></span> and <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2M38BPH">Ezekiel 28</a></span>, both
present to witness much of G-d's magnificent creative works, and also hold the privileged,
and even elite, position of being G-d's primo Guardian Cherub!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At least he was, until G-d had the audacity,
the unmitigated gall that is, to create that punk, Adam.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Satan, I believe, was driven insane with
jealously, which lead to rage.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">When Satan saw that where he was once (and had be for
as long as he'd existed) “the veritable apple of G-d’s eye”, but that this
human, Adam, had become the apple of G-ds eye, just like many a first-born, and
for a season an ‘only-child’, he became enraged that G-d, in his view, had
rejected (or at least replaced) him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I find it both interesting, and intriguing, that even
with Satan beginning as a perfect being, holding the elite position of Guardian
Cherub, it was not with his sin, rebellion, or even with Eve's sin in eating of
the forbidden fruit, that the world was tossed into chaos... that consequence,
or outcome if you will of sin, lands squarely on Adam's shoulders - <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xNTjvc">Genesis Chapter Three verses
six & seven</a></span> - “...<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://bit.ly/2xNTjvc">she... gave some to her husband who was with her,
and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened</a></span>...”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Notice that? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Eve, the woman, ate, and NOTHING
happened.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then, Eve gave her husband WHO
WAS WITH HER, some of the fruit, and he ate. THEN the eyes of both were opened…
but I digress…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

secured tightly!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Discovering the increased
challenge being faced, in compliance with the Forman’s demands, once again you reach
out to the Forman to say - “Man, that fridge is LOCKED down.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And once more, the Forman simply says - “I don’t
care.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Move the damned thing, and clean
around, under and behind it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, just
figure it out.”<br />
<br />
Wanting not to be seen as a quitter, but instead to be recognized as being, at
least somewhat, industrious, you formulate a plan.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You get one of your workmates with a winch on
the front of his Jeep to secure a line, snuggly wrapped around the base of the fridge
(about 4” up from the bottom).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You then
have the four big guys “steady” the fridge, one at each corner, as you ‘man the
winch’ to drag that sucker out!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At first
the resistance is amazing, things are looking like the ‘anchored’ fridge is
going to drag the Jeep into the shop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But…
just before you “give up” on yet one more attempt, finally the fridge
budges.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">With horrific sounding creeks, and the familiar
crackle of wood snapping like twigs, the fridge edges forward.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Excited, you watch as the winch drags the
once anchored fridge out a full six feet onto the shop floor, leaving the space
behind now… open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But wait… upon further
investigation, it is now discovered that this fridge was, indeed, anchored to
the floor… with bolts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were six
four-and-half-inch long bolts through the 2 ½” thick wooden floor, along each
of the sides, and across the front.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet,
oddly there’s more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There was also a
nearly four and a half square foot opening in the floor, leaving about three
inches of flooring under the sides, and across the front.<br />
<br />
The power supply for the fridge was an easy 12-foot-long cord, this even with
the refrigerator pulled out six feet past where its front used to be, the power
supply is fully slack.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There is a
problem however, coming up from the four and a half square foot opening in the
floor is a 3/8” cold-water supply line, that is now severed. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The pit appears to be filling with aqua!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The really weird part?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That fridge had no apparent water functionality,
none, zip, nada.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, ‘why would there be
a severed water-line?’ you wonder to yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Taking a trouble light, you ‘stick your head’ down
into the four and a half square foot opening in the floor, and peer
around.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You seen nothing… nothing in all
directions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can see, and hear, the
water running, but can barely make out the distinct sound of a splash as the
water finally hits bottom.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That pit is huge,
to steal a phrase from the Donald (now POTUS), “yuuuuuuge” and it’s deep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Hearing the commotion, the Forman comes running,
bellowing as he approaches… “What The $&^*%$ng hell have YOU done?!?<br />
<br />
You casually, albeit perhaps a tad embarrassed, point to the fridge, and say -“The
fridge is now ‘out from the wall’ so as to much better facilitate cleaning,
under, around and behind it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Just as you
requested.” <br />
<br />
The Forman, assessing the apparent damages, immediately quips - “I wanted you
to clean under and behind the damned thing, NOT destroy my shop.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
You reply - “I tried to tell you, and tried for days even, to tell you there
were severe challenges. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your reply each
time was to simply say - “I don’t want excuses, I want the damned thing moved,
and cleaned under & around.” - so, I complied.<br />
<br />
To which the Forman retorted… “Well lad, you should have ‘tried harder’ to let
me know the kind of damage that might happen, before you destroyed half the
shop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the Owner is going to press
charges for criminal destruction of private property…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The above scenario was a dream I had, just had in
fact, as in last night, as best as I am able to remember, and repeat it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rarely, perhaps twice before in my life, have
I been awakened from a dream, gone back to sleep, and successfully returned to
the same dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Last night was one of those
rare occasions.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And not just once, but
twice, did I awake from, then return to said dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Normally, I do not place much stock in
dreams, especially one where I am threatened with either violence or
litigation, for “doing what was asked”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>This dream seemed, and still seems, different, ergo… today’s Blog.<br />
<br />
After I awoke the first time, I just rolled over and faded back into (what
turns out to be a rather shitty) sleep.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>When I awoke the second time, the first thing that came to mind was I
Samuel 3:1 - 10 (look it up, it’ll do your soul some good), so I asked - “Ok,
Lord, what are you trying to tell me?” - I sat quietly for about 10 minutes,
and frustrated (thinking to myself “I just don’t ‘get it’, why wake me, and
then say NOTHIING) and returned to bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When
the alarm clock rang, I arose, got dressed and took the dogs, who were
impetuously impatient this morning, out for their daily - First Walk of the Day
- and while propped up against a small fence, I once more reflected on that
bizarre dream.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And once more I asked
G-d, “what?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“What is it you want me to
see, or hear, or contemplate or…?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A few
moments in, still frustrated with the apparent silence from G-d, I heard a
quiet voice say (and yes, I mean I heard this like I was talking with someone
standing right with me, and I heard it in Elizabethan English) - “Not Me’ith,
YOU’ith!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I scratched my head, and asked
(yep, 0530 hours, outside I asked) out loud - “what do you want me to see or
know Lord?” <br />
<br />
This time, without audio, I “heard” a very plain - “take a look at your own
attitudes” - and BAM it was like a light had been turned on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dream was, is really, about my attitudes,
and my frustration with G-d, with my fellow leaders in the church, even with my
Pastors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, I know that men,
especially ugly looking, burly biker-types, “ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO talk about, or
ever express, feelings, yet…”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yet, I am
frustrated with G-d, with my walk with G-d, with my relationships with leaders
and others “in the church”, kind of *feeling* like, no matter how hard I try,
whether the “trying” is about following and listening to G-d, or about
soliciting help, no one seems to truly listen.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Or, if they do “listen”, they still don’t truly “hear” what’s on me
heart, instead there’s a lot of dismissal, or exhortation to “just push through”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With all human interaction we have -
communication breakdowns.<br />
<br />
I know that, after greater than 35 years of ‘walking with the Lord’, I know…
that ‘walking with the Lord’, is NOT about “feelings”, I know many of the
Scriptures - II Corinthians 5:7 - “…we walk by faith, not by sight…” - and even
believe those Words to be rock solid truth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Yet, I still feel frustrated… “What am I doing wrong?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“What do I need to do to fix, or correct, or rectify
this crap?” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And, I do not have any
answers, not for me, certainly not for anyone bold enough to read this, no
answers that is… save this one simple thought - “trust and believe” - See <a href="http://bit.ly/2jTWsQh">Genesis 15:6 - 10</a><br />
<br />
That’s it, DaBauz poured his heart out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Oh boo-hoo me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps. Perhaps “trust
and obey, by believing”!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">You're awakened by a noise, a disturbance, some
shouting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You hear an angry male voice
saying:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“...who do I think I am “Chamberlain” wasn’t isn’t it
'your people'...?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">and then you hear a splash, evidently, he threw his
coffee down your neighbour's path <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The neighbour asks him - “Why did you use the name
“Chamberlain” at me?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And his reply was - "Okay “Churchill!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">After speaking with your neighbour, you learn that the
day before, while riding in a Taxi she was asked, by the Taxi driver:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“Why you Jews kill Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why you go to Europe?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why Jews stealing from Europeans?” Etc., <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">To ask such things at all, is incorrigible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To ask such things in in front of a child, a
young girl in fact, is not only open hate of Jews / Israel, but also blatant
anti-Semitism, and a very worrying and worrisome trend. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So... now what do you do? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you go back inside your safe little house
and pretend you - “Do not even know the Jewish lady”, for fear of reprisal from
other anti-Semitic neighbours? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Do you
boldly stand by your Jewish friend, and neighbour, knowing full well that this
may very likely place a target on your, and on your family's, backs also?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps your employer might say to you, “It
doesn't look good for the company, for you to be consorting with one of those
'dirty Jews'.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, maybe one of your own
children comes home from school saying, “Mommy /daddy, our teacher asked us to
make a list of the addresses of any houses we think may have those 'dirty Jews'
living in them.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What ya gunna do? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I know, I know…you’re likely wondering - “Who
does this DaBauz guy even think he is, who is going to be that ‘in-your-your-face’
with blatant anti-Semitism, and be so blunt? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No
one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That level of blatant anti-Semitism
just isn’t seen, these days.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And you’re
right, of course, just like the English, American and Canadians were “right” in,
1920, “<a href="http://bit.ly/2HxJsdW">Adolf Hitler's rise to power began in
Germany in September 1919</a>…”[<sup>1</sup>]; 1925, “<a href="http://bit.ly/2HuXiOk">Hitler publishes Mein Kampf - July 18, 1925</a>”[<sup>2</sup>];
1930, Hitler’s rise to power and insanity continues; 1933, Hitler was appointed
“…<a href="http://bit.ly/2HxJsdW">as Chancellor on 30 January 1933 after a
series of parliamentary elections and associated backroom intrigues.</a>”[<sup>1</sup>];
1936, “…<a href="http://bit.ly/2HtXPA2">Adolf Hitler’s re-militarization of
Germany’s Rhineland in 1936</a>…”[<sup>3</sup>]… and in 1939, we know from
history what Hitler did next… “<a href="http://bit.ly/2HtXPA2">September 1,
1939… Germany invaded Poland</a>”[<sup>3</sup>] <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But hey, that level of blatant anti-Semitism just
isn’t seen, “these days.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I read about a fellow, who, a couple thousand years
ago, swore he would fiercely stand-by a dear friend, a friend of over three
intense years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But when push came to
shove, at least at first, he chose the seemingly “easy way”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When he was asked, “Hey, don't you know...?”
he very quickly denied all knowledge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Brazenly disavowing himself from any, and all, connection with the party
in question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Later, very early in the morning, after being asked by
three different people, “Hey, weren't you friends with...?”, just before dawn,
the man heard a rooster crow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Immediately he was reminded of the conversation where his trusted friend
had told him, “…<a href="http://bit.ly/2GVOJeu">before the rooster crows, you
will deny knowing me three times</a>.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
man’s <a href="http://bit.ly/2GWJOK6">blood ran cold, he broke down, and burst
into tears, ashamed and in anguish</a>, reflecting on what he’d just done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The man who was being denied, was Jesus the Christ, of
Nazareth / Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef), the King of kings, and
King of the Jews.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The man who did the denying
was the Apostle Peter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The good news is,
as one can read more about in <a href="http://bit.ly/2GVOJeu">Mark 14:29 - 31</a>,
<a href="http://bit.ly/2GWJOK6">Mark 14:69 - 72</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/2GWcAKY">John 21:15 - 19</a>, that <a href="http://bit.ly/2GWcAKY">Jesus fully restored Peter</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Jewish People did NOT kill Jesus.” - Your sins, my sins, the sin of Adam, and
the sins of those still not yet even born, that’s what killed Jesus.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, at least <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>why</u></b> Jesus He had to die. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "brush script mt"; font-size: 16.0pt;">And I fell down on my

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "brush script mt"; font-size: 16.0pt;">He raised me to my

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "brush script mt"; font-size: 16.0pt;">Love was shining out

understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my

of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">On this day* (tradition doesn’t really
even address, let alone say very much about this day*. It is, simply put, a day
just not really talked about, so I’ll call this “The Shopping Day” *).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sometime between the first and twelfth hours
(the hours of 6:00 o’clock am and 6:00 o’clock pm) some c.~ One Thousand Nine
Hundred Ninety-one (+/- six) years ago, the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>
Jesus the Christ / Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef) after suffering endless
torture, and even death, His human physical body rests in a tomb. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The dead body of the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> Jesus was placed in this tomb following a very lengthy
bout of torture and abuse, including the anguish of hours hanging on a cross, “the
crucifixion”, on what is classically referred to a “Good Friday” **. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I’m positively sure, “The saints absolutely
were still shocked and perplexed…”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

three ladies, two fairly well known, and one perhaps not-so-well-known - Mary
Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome - after the Sabbath had ended, went
and purchased burial spices, oils and ointments to anoint the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span>'s body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Looking to </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/1VeER35"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Luke 23:56</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> we read of these same
ladies that - “…</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/1VeER35"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">they then returned and prepared spices and ointments… But…
by the time they had finished preparing the burial spices, oils and ointments Sabbath
was beginning, so… they rested as required by the law</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">”.<br />
<br />
It is interesting to note that New Living Translation for Mark 16:1 says - “Saturday
evening, when the Sabbath ended, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and
Salome went out…” - though it’s not really my place to, as a layman with only
an Associates Degree, to argue with Scholars who hold Bachelor’s, Master’s and
PhD’s, I must say… that statement makes absolutely no sense to me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The world would have been in total darkness
following sunset, on any day, and Sabbath (Shabbat) ends with sunset.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Really, three ladies, without male
accompaniment, out shopping in the dark (after sunset) on a Saturday night? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it possible?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Absolutely!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Do I still believe it’s highly unlikely?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Also, absolutely yes, I do.<br />
<br />
Now consider the implications of a Wednesday Crucifixion, followed by a Special
High (Passover) Shabbat / Sabbath on the Thursday, which would have begun with
sunset on the Wednesday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Said Special Shabbat
would have ended with sunset on the Thursday. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This would not only have allowed the ladies time,
Mark 16:1, during daylight hours on the Friday, to go shopping, gather… and
also prepare, Luke 23:56, the necessary oils, spices and ointments for anointing
the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> Jesus’ now dead human
body resting in the tomb, and still honour a regular Saturday Sabbath (Seventh
Day Shabbat)!<br />
<br />
According to Scripture, Christ died sometime after three pm on the day of the
Crucifixion, and was removed from the Cross sometime before six pm (sunset) on
the day of the Crucifixion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>- </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2Gn9hQU"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Matthew 27:46 -

“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">How does one get to “know” Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Romans 10:9-10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

- the saints were undoubtedly very shocked and perplexed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many, perhaps MOST, had high expectations
that Jesus the Christ was going to righteously vanquish all of Israel’s
enemies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly, even those who walked,
lived, ate, breathed and even slept in Christ’s presence (and did so for at
least three years) missed the poignancy of the “suffering Messiah” prophecies
from TaNaKh.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So there He was, this “King
of kings”, or “King of the Jews”… dead.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
the Day of Preparation, that is the day before a special Shabbat, during Passover,
is just hours away from being completed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Disciples had only limited time with which to get Jesus’ body down
from where He was crucified, and properly bury the body.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A man named Joseph of Arimathea, a well-respected
member of the Council, sought out Pilate for Christ’s body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Once Pilate had confirmed that Jesus was in
fact dead, he granted Joseph the corpse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Joseph bought a linen shroud, and wrapped Jesus’ body in the linen, and
then laid Jesus body in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. A stone was
rolled against the entrance of the tomb. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses,
witnessed the sealing of the tomb.<br />
<br />
Pilate, being very well aware of the stories of pending Resurrection, fearing
that body snatchers might steal Jesus’ now dead human body, posted guards by
the tomb entrance, directing them - “…make the tomb as secure…”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These soldiers understood the extreme serious
gravity of this situation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If they
allowed Jesus’ body to be stolen, it would mean their own - EXECUTION.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This tomb guard was very, very serious
business. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Now, back to the whole
point of why the body had to be removed from the cross, before sunset.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The day following the Day of Preparation is a
Special, or Feast Day, Sabbath, or Shabbat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For this reason, tomorrow’s continuation of the series, will not be
posted until Friday, March 30<sup>th</sup>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The rationale for this is for me to, at least in part, honour this
Special Shabbat Thursday in memory, meditation and awe, of what Christ our <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> went through in the last c.~ 150
hours (six or so days) of His life. - </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2utmXnJ"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Matthew 27:57 - 66,

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">How does one get to “know” Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well because the Bible tells us so, as the

can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">On this day* (tradition says it was a
Friday, we call that “Good Friday”*), between the sixth and ninth hours (the
hours of 12:00 o’clock noon and 3:00 o’clock pm) some c.~ One Thousand Nine
Hundred Ninety-one (+/- six) years ago, the LORD Jesus the Christ / Yeshua Ha
Mashiach (Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef) while hanging on that cross, barely able to
even breathe any longer, the whole earth was dark.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We read yesterday of a man, one whom some
traditional churches have names Dismas, was told by Jesus that - <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk501706488">“</a><a href="http://bit.ly/2uubXXi"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">Today you will be with Me in paradise</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">”.

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Around the midafternoon
Jesus cried out, from the depths of His being, loudly - “Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani?” which means, “My God, my God, why have you abandoned (or
forsaken) me?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Jesus said this in
fulfillment of </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2uxY7mQ"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Psalm 22:1</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, because, as we

us, so that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in Him,</b> <u>we</u> might <u>become

amazing grace.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You see, in spite
of Jesus having done not even one lone thing, ever, to even slightly hinder,
let alone remove, the favor of G-d the Father in His life (He was, after all, G-d’s
own Son - Holy, harmless, undefiled, and obedient, blameless in every way, indeed
G-d still loved Him and He’d done absolutely NOTHING wrong), our Father G-d,
and Heaven, is Holy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In those fleeting moments,
as the <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> Jesus expressed His
feelings of total abandonment, because G-d placed all of the sins of the entire
world squarely on His Son’s shoulders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The world’s evil men were allowed to do whatever they wanted to Jesus, thus
Jesus, for a time, felt the despair and aguish of having absolutely NO conscious
awareness of His Father’s presence.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
may still seem rather abstract, but remember two things:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A) - “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2uvKSmF"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">G-d’s ways are not
our ways</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">” - Isaiah 55:8, and B) - “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2uv20sw"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We know, right
now, only in part.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day, we will see
(understand) fully.</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">” - I Corinthians 13:12<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Moments later,
approaching the 6<sup>th</sup> hour (3:00 o’clock pm), Jesus cried out boldly in
a loud voice, and then </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2uy0JAS"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He gave up His ghost</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At that very moment The Temple veil was torn
in two, from top to bottom, there were earthquakes (like none had seen before,
or since) and tombs, containing the bodies of many holy people (saints of G-d) who
had died in the past, were broken open.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The saints of old, who were raised to life, all exited their tombs, after
Jesus’ resurrection, and were seen by many people, as the resurrected ventured
out into the city.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It must have been mayhem.
Those at the scene, even the very soldiers who nailed the hands and feet of
Jesus cried out - “Surely he was the Son of God!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Upon finding Jesus
already dead, instead of breaking His legs (as was the custom of the day), the
soldiers charged with Jesus’ execution </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2utaCjh"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">pierced Jesus’
side with a spear</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, bringing a strong flow of blood and water.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This was done both as a fulfilment of Exodus
12:46, Numbers 9:12 & Psalm 34:20 - “…</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2J4f9MC"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">not one of His
will be broken</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">…”, and also of Zechariah 12:10 <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>which says - “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2J2w6aj"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">They will look on

sixth hour (3:00o’clock pm), Jesus has died, the Disciples are in shock, and His

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">On this day* (tradition says it was a
Friday, we call that “Good Friday”*), between the third and sixth hours (the
hours of 9:00 o’clock am and 12:00 o’clock noon) some c.~ One Thousand Nine
Hundred Ninety-one (+/- six) years ago, the LORD Jesus the Christ / Yeshua Ha
Mashiach (Rabbi Yeshua bar Yosef) was led out, following hours of anguish,
abuse and well really torture, even carrying His own device of execution, the
timber for His cross.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The burden was so
great, that even a man of full strength (one not sleep-deprived, who had not
been beaten for nearly a day straight; one for whom brutal task masters had not
turned the flesh on his back, shoulders and the backs of his legs into
veritable raw hamburger) would struggle under the burden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Under this burden, Jesus’ legs, torso weakened
from the torture began to falter.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
soldiers compelled a passerby, one Simon of Cyrene, to pick up Jesus’ cross,
and carry timber to - Golgotha, “Place of a Skull”, “Skull Hill” or “Calvary”
as it’s referred in <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk501706488"></a><a href="http://bit.ly/2h5QxrP"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">Luke 23:33</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"> KJV.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Once at the
execution site, Jesus’ battered (beaten-to-an-almost-unrecognizable-state) body
was skilfully laid out of over the cross where His hands and feet were brutally
nailed to the wood.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Lord</span> Jesus was offered wine, mixed with
gall, but when He tasted it, Jesus refused it. Once crucified, Romans soldiers cast
lots, and divided His garments among themselves.<br />
<br />
Local passersby also mocked the, “King of kings”, jeering - “Ha! You who are
going to ‘destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days’, save Yourself climb
down off that stake!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Similarly the
Chief, or High Priests, Teachers of The Law, Scribes (ruling Kohanim, along
with the Torah Scholars) joined in the carnival of mocking Jesus crying:<br />
<br />
“He saved others,” they scoffed, “but He can’t save himself, Ha!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

“No Jesus, NO peace” and yet, “Know Jesus, KNOW peace”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">How does one get to “know” Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Romans 10:9-10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Today we read of Jesus’ final few hours of
abuse, and beatings, before His gruesome crucifixion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This day is oft dubbed “<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk501706488"></a><a href="http://bit.ly/2ot8Nhj"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">The Maundy Day</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">”, or in
traditional Church history “Maundy Thursday” is the more common term.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“</span><a href="http://bit.ly/2o3WUvK"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">The word Maundy is derived from the Latin
word for “command.” The “Maundy” in “Maundy Thursday” [or “Maundy Day” if you
will] refers to the command Jesus gave to the disciples at the Last Supper,
that they should love and serve one another.</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">”[<sup>1</sup>]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it also, as I recall from my Anglican
(Episcopalian) days, deals with the ideal of us, G-d's (Christ's) creation,
pausing to give some reflection on the serious anguish Christ went through on
the eve of His crucifixion...<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

text found in Matthew 27:15 - 23 & Mark 15:6 - 15, wherein we read that, A)
- </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2DZxEhj"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Pilate released

<br />
We’ll also read in Matthew 27:27 - 31, Mark 15:16 - 20 and John 19:2 - 5 about
how </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2DZn61F"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Jesus
was mocked, abused, beaten and even humiliated with a scarlet robe and a crown
of thorns</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How the
people berated and ridiculed Jesus with cat-calls like - “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2DZn61F"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Hail, King of the

many, many more beatings.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All before being
led out to, forced to walk the path to the crucifixion site, carrying His own instrument
of execution, the timber for His cross.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We’ll close today’s
reading, by reading ahead a little, with the text from Matthew 27:36 - 38, Mark
15:25 - 27, Luke 23:37 - 39 and John 19:18 - 20 where we see that Pilate had a
sign posted over Jesus’ which said - “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2IXRpK3"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Jesus of Nazareth,
the King of the Jews.</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">” We are also told in John Specifically that the sign
was written in three Languages, Hebrew (some translations use Aramaic), Latin
and Greek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It from the Latin that we get
the classic acronym “INRI” which literally means “Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This sign is not only very powerful, it’s
also very prophetic, because Jesus was not only King of the Jews, He is The
King of kings!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Romans 10:9-10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Today we read again about the <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk501706488"></a><a href="http://bit.ly/2Gdmzew"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">denial of Jesus by Peter</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">,
Matthew 26:69 - 75, Mark 14:66 - 72 & John 18:25 - 27, wherein we read that
Peter - “…began to invoke a curse on himself and to swear, “I do not know this
man of whom you speak.” And that “…immediately the rooster crowed a second
time.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wherein “…Peter remembered how
Jesus had said to him, ‘Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny me three
times.’ And he broke down and wept.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Note here, Peter did not just simply ‘deny’ knowing who the Christ was.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to Mark’s Gospel account, Peter “invoked
a curse”, or swore an oath, that he did not even know this Jesus of Nazareth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, are these accounts intended to prove
that Peter, later wrote Epistles (letters) of I & II Peter, never actually
met Jesus?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That Peter’s claims to have
lived, breathed and supped with our Lord is a ruse?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>NO!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Are these things recorded to suggest the Bible, or G-d, somehow endorses,
or even encourages deception?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again NO!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why then are these very embarrassing things
written about Peter in THE Holy Bible?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The answer, in my humble opinion is this:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A) - to show that Human was a flawed human,
just like you and me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And B) - to show
that G-d looks to the depths of a man’s heart.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Peering through and past our weaknesses, and that in spite of one’s
flaws, </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2kICKqD"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">Romans
3:23</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">, one can have pure right standing with G-d,
</span><a href="http://bit.ly/2DUFMzR"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">Romans
10:9 - 10 & Ephesians 2:8 - 10</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">, because </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2pEjNv0"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">John 3:16</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All of this about Peter’s denial may very
well beg the question - “what about Judas”?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I mean - “Did he not too betray, and even essentially deny Jesus also?”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He did, and that brings us to </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GdtVi0"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">Matthew
27:3 - 10</span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;">.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sadly, we read
that Judas hanged himself, and Scripture seems to paint a very glib picture of,
and for, Judas’ eternal future.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Judas not
only denied, and even betrayed Jesus, but he effectively sold his own soul to
the devil.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GdtVi0"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Chief Priests,
whom Judas had betrayed Jesus to, took the 30 pieces of silver Judas had thrown
back at them, and bought a piece of land.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The land was dubbed the “the Field of Blood”, because it was bought with
the blood-money (which was returned to the Chief Priests by Judas) which was
used to pay-off Judas to betray Jesus in the first place</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> - Matthew 27:3 -

today, at least in terms of the focus of today’s reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This brings us to about half way through the
last full day of Jesus life on Earth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
the traditional Churches this day is sometimes nicknamed “Maundy Thursday”, and
we’ll talk more about it, and a few other subjects like “not losing sight of
Christ Crucified”, and some of the “Exegetics on the Crucifixion, Death and
Resurrection of Christ” later this week, Friday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also,
later this week, likely on Friday, we’ll offer a few more details about why Jesus may not have been crucified
on a Friday, but instead on a Wednesday.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A good friend’s (Pastor Tim
Thomas of “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2IQvfsS"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The Shift Downtown</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">) Pastor and

BC, crucified on a Wednesday, and died in A.D. 33”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Though </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2ITbxg5"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Preacher Bob</span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, and I may not
100% agree on the 7 BC through A.D. 33 points, four points on this subject we
do agree on are:<br />
<br />
i) - Jesus was born…<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">ii) - Jesus was

<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">iv) - Jesus has
promised to once again return to, and for, His people<br />
<br />
As we close today, let’s ponder the beatings Jesus physically endured since His
betrayal, likely on a Monday by one of His closest ‘friends’, Judas through the
night, to about halfway through this Maundy Day (likely Tuesday, in my humble
opinion, of A.D. 27, nearly two full thousand years ago) at the hands of Chief
Priests (religious leaders) and of Pilate and Herod (the sovereigns of the
region, in Jesus’ day).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then reflect
on - Isaiah 53:5 - “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2IUK0uU"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was

can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my

of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Through today’s readings we’ll look at, I
all four Gospel accounts, what might be dubbed - “The Betrayal, Arrest and
"Priestly" beatings of Jesus”.
Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk501706488">- </a><a href="http://bit.ly/2ISSzWS">Matthew
26:47 - 56, Mark 14:43 - 50, Luke 22:47 - 53 & John 18:1 - 11</a>
- where we read these stinging words - “Friend, do what you came to do.” - <a href="http://bit.ly/2IQbOR5">Matthew
26:50</a> - as a reminder of what Jesus’ final week
on Earth was beginning to shape up like.
Later in Matthew 26:57 - 68 & John 18:12 - 14 we read of <a href="http://bit.ly/2G9yhXE">lies
being told about Jesus, and of Jesus being beaten, mocked and abused while ‘in
the care’ of the High Priests and Council</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Today we also read
of a fascinating story of both unprecedented zeal, </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2DT9hSt"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Peter cuts off the
ear of a Servant of the High Priest</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, and then of Peter’s
own denial of Jesus - First the ear cut off, Matthew 26:51, Mark 14:47, Luke
22:50 & John 18:10; next </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2DTMXIe"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Peter’s denial</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, as we read in Luke
22:54 - 62, John 18:15 - 18 and Mark 14:66 - 72 (although the account in Mark
in included in tomorrow’s reading. This
account of zeal and denial hold a special place of intrigue for me, because
these are two areas I struggle with. Jesus,
although He did rebuke Peter, He did not “condemn” Peter for zealously lobbing
off a man’s ear. Additionally, although
Peter unquestionably did deny Jesus, and deny Him THREE (3) times, Jesus still
did not reject, “let go of” or “lose” anyone (except as Judas…).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">How Jesus’ dealt
with both Peter’s zeal and denial, and how Peter went on to boldly proclaim the
Gospel, even to his own demise in the years that followed Christ’s joke of an
arrest, is an inspiration to me, and it’s my sincere prayer that it might be an
inspiration to you also.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We also read, as
we wrap up today’s readings from John - “</span><a href="http://bit.ly/2IQYf3H"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of those whom you
gave me I have lost not one.</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">” - John 18:9.
See also </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GalSCL"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">John 6:39, John 17:12 and John 18:8 - 10</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">. Jesus promised, John 6:39 to ‘</span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GbRpEb"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">lose no one</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">’, Jesus Commanded

18:8</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, and Jesus repeated in </span><a href="http://bit.ly/2IQYf3H"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">John 18:9</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> - “<b><i><u>I

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">How does one get to “know” Jesus? Simple, invite Him into your heart, as Jesus
says: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNU9y8"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Revelation 3:20 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]
How can be assured that this Jesus stuff means anything? Well because the Bible tells us so, as the
Apostle Paul wrote:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is
Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it
is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUpND"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Romans 10:9-10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And for those of you who say to me, I
can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Through the course of this week’s
readings, we discover the blackness of, and in, the hearts of the religious elite of
Jesus’ day, the pride of men, where </span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_Hlk501706488"></a><a href="http://bit.ly/2GxSFTb"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">the chief priests,
elders and religious leaders were meeting in the chambers of Caiaphas, the
Chief Priest, with one purpose - conspiring to seize Jesus by stealth and kill Him</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">. - Matthew 26:1 -
5, Mark 14:1 & 2, and Luke 22:1 & 2<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Additionally, we’re granted an introductory view into, perhaps </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2FGIEWN"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">one of the single
most cold-hearted betrayals in recorded history</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A betrayal by
a man whose education[<sup>1</sup>] set him apart from, at least 10, if not all
11, of the original twelve Disciples - Judas Iscariot.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A man, who by today’s standards of church
leadership was, at least in part, the veritable bench-march of ideals[<sup>1</sup>].<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He was educated, articulate[<sup>1</sup>],
passionate and zealous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What more could
one want?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>How about LOYALTY! - Luke 22:3
- 6 & John 13:21 - 30<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">But enough of
Judas, we’ll get another dose of his antics in tomorrow’s reading anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Today we read of </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GBtq2c"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Jesus Anointing at
Bethany</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">, from Mark’s
perspective. - Mark 14:3-9<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And this too
we’ll read more about from Matthew’s perspective tomorrow.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Please note three things here:<br />
<br />
First - worshipful honor - </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GzoQBQ"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">a woman entered the home of, Simon the leper, opened
(broke open) an alabaster flask, or bottle, of very expensive ointment,
perfume, oil, pure nard, the poured it on (anointed) Jesus’ head</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> - Mark 14:3<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Second - indignant
anger - </span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GAmNNS"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">some
got angry, indignantly crying, “That’s criminal! A sheer waste! Why was the
ointment wasted like that?” this very expensive ointment, perfume, oil, pure
nard could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii (well over a
year’s wages) and the proceeds given to the poor</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> - Mark 14:4 & 5, and<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Third - Righteous
Indignation from Jesus - Jesus rebuked those nay-sayers, citing i) “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GAS1Vc"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Leave her alone</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.” Then asking ii) “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GAS1Vc"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Why do you trouble
her</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">?” and then
closing with iii) “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2GAS1Vc"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">She has done a beautiful thing to me</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.” - Mark 14:6<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Then Jesus went on to explain a profound thing that, I feel, many of us
in the church tend to lose sight of… focus on JESUS.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He said “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2Gxf0jH"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">You will have the
poor with you every day for the rest of your lives. Whenever you feel like it,
you can do something for them. Not so with me</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This reminds
me of Cärpē ˈDiēm, loosely translated Latin for “Seize the Day”, based on “…the
Roman poet Horace to express the idea that we should [Pluck the day, and] enjoy
life while we can.”[<sup>2</sup>]<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, to
paraphrase, voraciously seize the moment with our Lord Jesus the Christ!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We’ll close
today’s readings off with this thought - “</span></span><a href="http://bit.ly/2pNZR8V"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The world that
Jesus shed His Innocent Blood for; the world that Jesus DIED for; the wretched,
indignant, ungrateful sinners that Jesus came to restore to relationship with
the Father to, they will KNOW, SEE, UNDERSTAND and RECOGNIZE that Christ’s
followers are indeed, His followers, because of the Christian’s (believer’s /
Disciple’s) love* for, and toward, one another</span></span></a><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">.” - John 13:35 <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk501706488;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And that right

can’t be bothered reading the Bible, “it’s confusing” or “it’s a waste of my
time”, may I draw your attention to what the Bible says about wisdom: “The fear
of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is
understanding.” [</span><a href="http://bit.ly/1CNUCjE"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Proverbs 9:10 NIV</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">]<o:p></o:p></span></div>

suggestions. But, how do they stack up against what Biblical, Christian, definition
of true G-dly “Love” really is?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Jesus taught, very simply, according to John 13:35 in

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“If you love each other, everyone will know that you
are my disciples.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The Amplified, and
Amplified classic render that passage like this:<br />
<br />
AMP - “By this everyone will know that you are My disciples, if you have love
and unselfish concern for one another.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

disciples, if you love one another [if you keep on showing love among
yourselves]”<br />
<br />
It is my firm belief that, finally after many, many years, more and more
Disciples of Jesus (Christians / ‘believers in and Trusters of’, Jesus /
Yeshua) are grasping that the text neither says, nor even remotely supports the
idea, that - ‘the world will know we are Christians by our unyielding tolerance
of unending evil’.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The world, you see,
has a very skewed idea of what “love” is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The world’s idea of love may, or may not include what Messrs H. Jackson
Brown, Jr., Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Joseph Campbell say “Love Is”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This point is raised not to disparage, or
otherwise diminish the views of Messrs H. Jackson Brown, Jr., Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. and Joseph Campbell, or the men themselves, rather this point is
being made to emphasize that <a href="http://bit.ly/2GAAn3F">G-d’s ways ae,
indeed, higher than our (man’s) ways</a>. - Isaiah 55:9<o:p></o:p></span></div>

let’s begin with some basic about who and what G-d Himself is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>G-d’s Holy Word in I John 4:8 tells us that “<a href="http://bit.ly/2GAylAJ">G-d is love</a>”, period. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Continuing, <a href="http://bit.ly/2FGKTcx">the
very Word of G-d is Himself G-d</a> - John 1:1<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>And according to G-d’s Holy Word, His Word, is - “..profitable for
instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration
to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to
God’s will, both publicly and privately—behaving honorably with personal
integrity and moral courage]” - II Timothy 3:16, AMP.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Or, as the NIV very simply says that G-d’s
Holy Word is - “…is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now sure, some may pick apart the NIV, noting
that “useful” and profitable” are not really synonymous.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The word useful seems to carry with it a
lesser valued meaning, whereas “profitable” carries with it a very clear
meaning of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Benefit</i></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, is it
entirely fair to dismiss the NIV rendering as substandard, when the contextual
substance of the who statement clearly supports the idea of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Benefit</i></b>?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Consider some synonyms for both words:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Useful - valuable, beneficial, suitable, advantageous<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Profitable - lucrative, gainful, rewarding, advantageous<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span>This is not about linguistic renderings of G-d’s Holy Word, what this is
about is what “G-dly, Biblical, Christian Love” truly is, according to G-d’s
Holy Word. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
