The Didache Chapter 5 I do not believe Hashem is quantifiable. But, through His love and Mercy he reveals Himself to us through our Savior Jesus Christ and wisdom of the Holy Spirit. I do not believe that it is possible to know Hashem through quantum mysticism or numerology without His Will to permit it. Otherwise, it would be easily revealed that Jesus is the prophesied Messiah and the Holy Spirit dwells with us today. But, I do believe that that the search for Hashem through quantum mysticism and numerology has given us a way to observe the universe through physics and mathematics. It may be possible that only through selfless faith the Holy Spirit would permit the righteous to use quantum mysticism and numerology to help us better understand Hashem. But, I firmly believe that quantum mysticism and numerology will not reveal Hashem's Will on their own.

The Tree of Life, or Etz haChayim (עץ החיים) in Hebrew, is a mystical symbol used in the Kabbalah of esoteric Judaism to describe the path to HaShem and the manner in which He created the world ex nihilo (out of nothing). Kabbalists believe the Tree of Life to be a diagrammatic representation of the process by which the Universe came into being. Saint Paul teaches that Hashem reveals Himself through the Spirit of the righteous that testify about him. Hashem has given each one of us the ability to discern the truth of their testimony and receive or reject the Hashem's Holy Spirit. Once the germ of Holy Spirit enters us the physics of the universe submits to Hashem's Will which is separated from any data set. Hebrews 11 For those that are seeking Hashem, listen to Collective Soul, "Shine." Virginia Tech gunman, Cho Seung-Hui was looking for meaning of Shine's lyrics "Teach me how to speak, Teach me how to share, Teach me where to go." According to the roommates, Cho wrote these words on the wall of his dorm room and would play the song endlessly on repeat. If only he would have understood Jesus command to "Love your neighbor" this tragedy may never have happened. Here is a snapshot from one of several videos Cho Seung-hui sent to NBC News Salvation does not come from a magical amulet or incantation. Jesus teaches that the Holy Spirit will enter our hearts only when we are in complete selfless humility embracing His commands. John 14 True prophecy comes from Hashem not from our minds. 2 Peter 1 How does a materialist quantify an intimate connection with another? Is it purely physical? The Transfiguration of Jesus is an episode in the New Testament narrative in which Jesus is transfigured (or metamorphosed) and becomes radiant upon a mountain. Pinacoteca Comunale, Recanati Verklärung Christi Origen was the first to comment that the presence of Moses and Elijah represented the "Law and the Prophets", referring to the Torah (also called the Pentateuch) and the rest of the Hebrew Bible. Jesus made sure to have three witness observe this event to fulfill the prophecy of Malachi. Matthew 17 Hashem revealed to the prophet Malachi that in the future a man would look and preach like the Prophet Elijah before Christ would arrive. Malachi 4 The Angel Gabriel later told John the Baptist’s parents that their son would minister in the spirit and power of Elijah Luke 1 John fulfilled his purpose by preparing the people for the coming of Christ and witnessing that Jesus was divinely illuminated John 1 The name John means "the grace and mercy of the Lord."

The Didache Chapter 5 On the Soul By Aristotle Written 350 B.C.E Translated by J. A. Smith Book III Part 10 Acts 17 On the Soul By Aristotle Written 350 B.C.E Translated by J. A. Smith Book III Part 11 Revelation 13 Did the Disciple John use a cipher called gematria to hide the name of the beast? Gematria (Greek: meaning geometry) is an Assyro-Babylonian-Greek system of code and numerology later adopted into Jewish culture that assigns numerical value to a word or phrase that independent of it original proper meaning. The belief that words or phrases with identical numerical values bear some relation to each other or bear some relation to the number itself as it may apply to nature, a person's age, the calendar year, or the like. According to the mystic Jews, during the second Temple period holy names were skillfully secreted among the letters of the text of the entire Torah. Around the time of Jesus Christ the Tannaim began using Gematria to codify holy names and phrases within the Torah. The most distinguished of rabbis, like Akiba, Eleazar of Modaim, Joshua ben Hannaniah, and Eliezer be Hyrcanos, did not hesitate to make use of this method. By adding the values of a chosen word, striking prophecies were sometimes discovered, as when, on the basis of the word radav in Genesis 42:2 it was calculated that the Egyptian bondage was to last 210 years. I still need to find the meaning of the word radav. http://www.aishdas.org/ta/5773/vayigash.pdf Genesis 42 http://www.biblegematria.com/the-numbers-point-straight-to-5778.html http://www.torah.org/learning/perceptions/5760/bo.html From the name Satan, which has the numerical value of 364, it was inferred that Satan had power over Israel all the days of the year except one, that is, the great day of atonement. The best-known example of Gematria is the Hebrew word Chai ("life"), which is composed of two letters Chet 8 (ח) and 10 Yod (י) which add up to 18. Chai as a symbol goes back to medieval Spain at the earliest. Letters as symbols in Jewish culture go back to the earliest Jewish roots, the Talmud states that the world was created from Hebrew letters which form verses of the Torah. In medieval Kabbalah, Chai is the lowest (closest to the physical plane) emanation of God. This has made 18 a "spiritual" number among Jews, and gifts and donations are frequently done in multiples of 18, which is called "giving chai". Mailings from Jewish charities usually suggest the amounts to give in multiples of chai (18, 36, 54, dollars, etc.) rather than the usual multiples of 25. Legendary singer, Elvis wore a chai necklace. An interesting factoid is that Elvis Presley has Jewish heritage through direct descent of his Jewish great grandmother Martha Tacket. Listen to Elvis Presley sing "I was born about ten thousand years ago." Jesus Monotheism : Volume 1: Christological Origins: The Emerging Consensus and Beyond Page 42 The Tannaim, as teachers of the Oral Law, were direct transmitters of an oral tradition passed from teacher to student that was written and codified as the basis for the Mishnah, Tosefta, and tannaitic teachings of the Talmud. According to tradition, the Tannaim were the last generation in a long sequence of oral teachers that began with Moses. The number 6 in Judiasm. 6 is the gematria of the Hebrew letter "ו" There is great debate whether the number of the beast is 666 or 616. In the Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus (C; Paris - one of the four great uncial codices), as well as in the Latin version of Tyconius (DCXVI, ed. Souter in the Journal of Theology, SE, April 1913), and in an ancient Armenian version (ed. Conybeare, 1907).critical editions of the Greek text, such as the Novum Testamentum Graece known to Irenaeus, it is noted that 616 is a variant. Irenaeus’ mention of mss that have 616 is balanced by his rejection of such witnesses in this case. Some theologians are of the opinion that 616 is the gematria of Emperor Nero. Around 2005, a fragment from Papyrus 115, taken from the Oxyrhynchus site, was discovered at the Oxford University's Ashmolean Museum. It gave the beast's number as 616 χιϛʹ. This fragment is the oldest manuscript (about 1,700 years old) of Revelation 13 found as of 2015. The age of a manuscript is not an indicator of the date of its writing but refers to how old the physical material is. All original biblical manuscripts are non-existent today. As they were held and copied onto new materials, eventually the originals fell apart, leaving fragments for a period and then only the copies. So the oldest materials might actually be among the newest manuscripts.Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus, known before the P115 finding but dating to after it, has 616 written in full: ἑξακόσιοι δέκα ἕξ, hexakosioi deka hex (lit. "six hundred and sixteen"). Irenaeus’ mention of manuscripts (mss) that have 616 is balanced by his rejection of such witnesses in this case. As intriguing as the reading 616 is (since the conversion of Nero Caesar’s name in Latin by way of gematria would come out to 616), it must remain suspect because such a reading seems motivated in that it conforms more neatly to Nero’s gematria. THE GEMATRIA OF THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST- 666 Is Nero the beast? It is charged by some that Neron Kesar is merely a convenient "misspelling" of Nero’s name in Hebrew. This objection overlooks the fact that before the modern introduction of dictionaries the world was simply not as concerned as we are about uniformity in the spelling of names. If a name was close enough to a gematria number total a Tanniam (in this case the Revelation writer John) might have adjusted the spelling to fit the sum total. If Nero is in fact the beast, then the Disciple John would have known the system of Gematria and theologians would have to review the deeper meaning of the Book of Revelation. Believing our Bible is divinely inspired, then I could not see Hashem allowing John the Evangelist to make a spelling mistake when invoking one needs true wisdom to understand what 666 or 616 means. Even if Nero was not the "Beast", he indeed was an anti-Christ to Christians. "Christian Dirce," oil painting by Henryk Siemiradzki National Museum, Warsaw The earliest explicit examples of Rabbinic Jewish gematria come from second century Rabbi Yehudah (fl. mid 2d c. CE, in Galilee), interpreting Jeremiah 9.10, concludes that "no one passed through Judea for fifty-two years" because of the numerical value of the word Behemah (beast). Rabbi Nathan (fl. 2d-3d c. CE, in Palestine) suggests that the gematria of "These are the words" in Exodus 35.1 hints at the thirty-nine categories of work forbidden on the Sabbath. The most famous example of Rabbinic isopsephy deals with Genesis 14.14 and the three hundred eighteen servants of Abraham, a tradition transmitted under the name of Bar Qappara' (2d-3d c., son of R. Eliezer). The Kabbalists of the 13th century seriously believed that the Old Testament was written in a hidden code inspired by God. They used gematria as one of the chief means by which to decipher this code. An example of this is shown in their interpretation of Jeremiah 9:9, "From the fowl of the heavens until the beasts are fled and gone". This was interpreted as meaning, that no traveler passed through Judea for 52 years, because the Hebrew word for beast, behemah (behemoth), has the numerical value of 52. Ask the Rabbi : Six Six Six 666 meaning strength and perfection is the opposite of what I see the "Beast" to be. No man is perfect. Hashem is the only perfect being. Is Gematria a calculated Babylonian system of apostasy designed to deceive us from the real truth? The value for the word "gematria" in English Gematria equals 444.

In the 8th century BC Babylonian king Sargon II (Akkadian Šarru-ukin "he [= the god] made firm the king") is believed to have been the first to use gematria when building the wall of Khorsabad exactly 16,283 cubits long, because that was the numerical value of his name. Reconstructed Model of Palace of Sargon at Khosrabad 1905 What happens when appetite of desire runs contrary to the preservation of culture? Under Babylonian king Sargon II rule, the Assyrians completed the defeat of the Kingdom of Israel, capturing Samaria after a siege of three years and exiling the inhabitants. This became the basis of the legends of the Lost Ten Tribes. According to the Bible, other people were brought to Samaria, the Samaritans, under his predecessor Shalmaneser V (2 Kings 18). Sargon's name actually appears in the Bible only once, at Isaiah 20:1, which records the Assyrian capture of Ashdod in 711 BC. The Israelite intellectuals would appear to have been influenced by the language and culture of their captors, including changes to the Hebrew alphabet and changes in the fundamental practices and customs of the Jewish religion. I have discussed the concepts of Zoroastrian concept of angels and afterlife. http://www.sullivan-county.com/bush/citi_settles.htm A Zoroastrian Sephirot (Tree of Life) A Jewish Sephirot (Tree of Life) - There are 10 Major methods of gematria corresponding to the 10 Sefirot. In 721 BC, Jewish inhabitants of Ashdod and Samaria in present day Israel were resettled in Media after their failed attempt against Assyrian dominance. The records indicate that 27,290 Jews were forced to settle in Ecbatana (Hamadan) and Susa in South West Persia. These settlers are referred to as one of the 'Ten Lost Tribes of Israel' in biblical records. What happens when the calculation of reason runs contrary to the sensitivity of faith? On 8 March 2015 the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria - ISIS) reportedly started the plunder and demolition of Dur-Sharrukin, according to the Kurdish official from Mosul Saeed Mamuzini.The Iraqi Tourism and Antiquities Ministry launched the related investigation on the same day. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/mar/12/isis-ransack-ancient-assyrian-city-confirmed-iraq-head-of-antiquities-dur-sharrukin I understand the Islamic State intention to destroy forms of idolatry that goes against Muslim faith. But, what the Islamic State does not understand is that evil cannot be destroyed without the will of our Creator to allow it. In this computer age the Islamic State would have to erase all forms of media and intellect to make sure there is no trace of idolatry left on the planet. Let's not forget the two voyager spacecraft that are at the time of this post over 12 billion miles away from earth traveling at a speed of 60,000 miles per hour. http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/interstellar.html Both Voyagers carry Golden Records that contain sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. Religion or God is not mentioned on them. Jesus taught us to worry about ourselves and not judge the sins of others. Christians should only rebuke Christians, not people outside the faith. I have found nothing that states we permitted to harm anyone involved in idolatry or any other sin. Muslims and Jews have a different concept of how to treat an idolater. Is Gematria and the Christian Sephirot idolatry to our Lord? The virtuous atheist considers good deeds may overcome the uncertain forces of fundamentalism to help preserve culture and the accumulation of knowledge. The virtuous believer knows if it is the will of God doing good deeds will help purify culture grow faith. The question for atheist and fundamentalist is the value of life in the preservation and purification of a culture. http://www.theosociety.org/pasadena/etgloss/va-vih.htm https://books.google.com/books?id=nQfiAQAAQBAJ&lpg=PA98&ots=akVxCY5Elh&dq=Zoroaster%20Gematria&pg=PA103#v=onepage&q=Zoroaster%20Gematria&f=false http://www.esotericarchives.com/oracle/oraclez.htm It is my belief that everything needed for salvation is overtly and publicly stated by the Prophets, Jesus Christ and His Disciples. The rest comes from our imagination.

The Didache Chapter 5 ENCYCLICAL LETTER LUMEN FIDEI OF THE SUPREME PONTIFF FRANCIS TO THE BISHOPS PRIESTS AND DEACONS CONSECRATED PERSONS AND THE LAY FAITHFUL ON FAITH I thank Pope Francis for sharing his wisdom on truth and love.I believe the Holy Spirit is the conduit that connects my spirit to the faith and knowledge of Hashem, Jesus, and other kindred spirits. Like Saint Augustine, I too believe that the Holy Spirit can be seen and heard, but it is just not limited to those two senses. I have read that the blind and deaf have felt God's love. The early philosophers did not have a method of communication with a person who was both blind, deaf, and mute. It was not until 1824 that Louis Braill developed published a system for the blind to read and communicate. When I was young one of my all time favorite comics was "Daredevil, The Man without Fear." Marvel's blind fictional character, Daredevil, a demon masked vigilante that uses his enhanced senses to instill fear to those that harm others. Daredevil's brand of justice is the opposite of the commands of love and mercy given by our Creator. Stan Lee might consider in the future sharing wisdom and courage of blind pioneers like Helen Keller in Marvel's comics and movies. People like her are true heroes in my book. Happiness Unreal Unless We Share It With Others By HELEN KELLER, Deaf, Dumb and Blind College Graduate The Story of My Life Helen Keller Psalms 116 Soul sense James Ingram & Michael McDonald award winning "Yah Mo Be There" Yah is a shortened version of Yahweh, which means God in Hebrew. So the title literally means "Yahweh Be There." The title was James Ingram's idea: "We were talking about how to say G-d will be there without scaring most of the audience away." A righteous man, sent by his Father, died for you and me. Not to bring us wealth or fame, but to give us promise of salvation and redemption. How many of us have heard His promise, but do not understand or act upon it? Matthew 13 Many of us reason well, but are too prejudiced to contemplate God in our daily life. Some are satisfied to let science explain the premise to conclusion of God. Some cannot find a method of explanation for the existence of God, they conclude there is nothing to explain and reject divine truth. Without God there is only birth from and final death for the universe and everything within it. Nothing lasts forever. Watch Carl Sagan, "Pale Blue Dot." To a materialist our Earth is just a quantified speck of matter surrounded by vast darkness. How are materialist able to fathom our purpose residing in a 13 billion year old universe that they believe is finite and dying? In their end nothing really matters. In their end there will absolute zero life. Accomplishments and monuments will mean nothing. Every last proton of matter will decay into energy and dissipate. The only thing left we be the cold quiet still darkness of entropy. The Fear of Death How does a materialist accept the increasing isolation, degrading physical mobility, loss of attractive appearance surrounded by material possessions that have little personal value? Is there any real need for a materialist to reconcile with those that have been wronged when nothing really matters? For the dying materialist stares at the light believing darkness comes to us all with no dreams of eternal life. Ecclesiastes 11 Look at the fun Jesus is having with these golden ladies. Precious Friends by Artist Phil Mckay. I want to get a print for my mother's room. Phil Mckay shows us how Jesus inspires us enjoy our life. Is it better for a materialist to live in the now or build for the future? The Global Catastrophic Risk Conference at the University of Oxford estimated a 19% chance of human extinction over the next century. What motivates a materialist to prevent nuclear war, meteor impacts, runaway global warming, grey goo, bioterrorism, and particle accelerator accidents? Like the universe the light of faith is slowly dimming for mankind. I pray to the Holy Spirit that the wisdom of Jesus comes back in style. Faith in our Creator and moral discipline are eroding at an increasing rate. The clouds of materialism obscures our potential of attaining salvation. We all can be Children of Hashem and embrace our brother Jesus Christ. Faith Luke Wilbur 2 Corinthians 6 I can personally testify that when person of faith marries one without faith there is a good chance that it will end up in failure. This is even true if both partners are virtuous. If and when the physical desire diminishes, then the spiritual and physical will become more in conflict with each other. Depending on the choices of the partners on how to reconcile this difference will lead into divorce or a stronger marriage. Mine led to divorce. The virtuous atheist considers good deeds may overcome the uncertain forces of nature to help preserve life knowing death is the final outcome. The virtuous believer knows if it is the will of God doing good deeds will help preserve life knowing death is the beginning of a new journey.

The Didache Chapter 5 John 6 In Ancient Roman religion, the genius is the individual instance of a general divine nature that is present in every individual person, place, or thing. Much like a guardian angel, the genius would follow each man from the hour of his birth until the day he died. For women it was the Juno spirit that would accompany each of them. Contemplate on the woman holding a mirror and a tambourine facing a winged genie with a ribbon and a branch with leaves. Red-figure oinochoe, ca. 320 BC. How much different is this idea from having a guardian angel? Museum of Fine Arts of Lyon In ancient Greek religion, Daemons were believed to be benevolent or benign nature spirits, beings of the same nature as both mortals and deities, similar to ghosts, chthonic heroes, spirit guides, forces of nature or the deities themselves. An agathodaemon (Greek: ἀγαθοδαίμων, agathodaímōn) or agathos daemon (Greek: ἀγαθὸς δαίμων, agathós daímōn, lit. "noble spirit") was a spirit (daemon) of the vineyards and grainfields in ancient Greek religion. They were personal companion spirits, similar to the Roman genii, ensuring good luck, health, and wisdom. Antinous as Agathodemon.

Her idea that beauty exists as a non-sexual everlasting divine constant that resides apart from any individual. Diotima's concept of beauty is the is the origin of Platonic love which lies at the root of all virtue and truth. Symposium By Plato Written 360 B.C.E Translated by Benjamin Jowett Seven hundred years before Plato, King David proclaimed Hashem's decree that if we truly love our brother, we will be rewarded with eternal life. Does the beauty of unity in Psalm 133 reflect Hashem’s blessings of refreshment and fertile generation or true immortality? Psalm 133 The Book of Wisdom has been dated from the time of King Solomon to 100 years before the birth of Jesus Christ. I am amazed how the prophecy of the coming of the Righteous One accurately foretells the life of our Savior while He graced mankind with His presence here on earth.

Chesed (חסד, also Romanized khesed, ẖesed) is a Hebrew word commonly translated as "loving-kindness," "kindness" or "love." Chesed is central to Jewish ethics and Jewish theology and is a common term in the Bible for describing God’s love for humankind and God’s special relationship with the Children of Israel. Here Paul tells us that Hashem's philanthropic action was to generate Jesus Christ, our Savior as a vessel of His mercy and guide mankind to eternal life. Titus 3 Watch "Re: Why I Hate Religion, But Love Jesus || Spoken Word." wayman29 is like many gnostics that respect Jesus a rolemodel for virtue. But, they do not understand that faith and fear in God is what is most important. One who understands and practices virtue and truth is on the path to being a true son of God. Mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience are virtues of platonic love. Truth is loving God and your neighbor. The rest is commentary. Colossians 3 Sin leads to a final ending. Love leads to eternal life. John 8 1 Peter 1 Listen to "George Michael - Faith." Faith in physical love is a notion we can accept and understand. Faith in an invisible Creator is what many cannot accept or understand. In my belief, if you have full faith in Hashem and our Messiah, then you have the ability receive the Holy Spirit. A virtuous atheist who does naturally good things, but rejects the notion of our Creator will not receive Hashem's Holy Advocate. There are those who state that they accept Jesus as their savior, but do less good things than a virtuous atheist. I believe those people only know Jesus by name.

The Didache Chapter 5 During our suffering here on earth we should confidently praise God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit for gracing us with living water that restores our health and delivers us from spiritual death. 2 Corinthians 5 Psalms 116 Psalms 16 Water and Spirit Ezekiel 36 John 4 John 7 Jesus would have known about Herodotus account 500 years before his mortal time of the legend of a fountain containing a special kind of water in the land of the Macrobians, which gives them exceptional longevity. The Macrobians (Μακροβίοι), meaning long-lived, were a legendary tribe of Aethiopia and kingdom positioned in the land towards the western sunset at the ends of the earth in ancient Libya (Africa). According to Herodotus they dwelt geographically along the sea south of Libya on the Atlantic opposite of the Erythraean sea (Greek: Ἐρυθρὰ Θάλασσα, Erythra Thalassa, "Red Sea") to the east of them. This Libya was south of the Pillars of Hercules and Atlas Mountains along the Atlantic coast, while the northern Libyan coast was the Mediterranean Sea. Herodotus also stated that the Macrobian Ethiopians were Indigenous to southern Libya while the Libyans along the Mediterranean Sea were indigenous to northern Libya Ichthyophagi (Gr. Ἰχθυοφάγοι and Latin Ichthyophagi, for "Fish-Eaters"), the name given by ancient geographers to several coast-dwelling peoples in different parts of the world and ethnically unrelated.

The strategy of apate is used to win battles.The Trojan warhorse was used to outwit the enemy by apate. The Japanese used the strategy of apate (Giman) to plan the attack Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Ephesians 5 Philippians 2 James 3 Some Christians consider Frank Kelly to be a prophet. I had my cousin ask Frank the difference between the God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. His response was to picture the Trinity as a rose. The stem is God the Father. The flower is God the Son. And the fragrance is God the Holy Spirit. Frank Kelly P.O. Box 81 Humarock, MA. 02047 Orthodox Christians believe in a single God who is both three and one (triune); the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, "one in essence and undivided". The Holy Trinity is three "unconfused" and distinct divine persons (hypostases), who share one divine essence (ousia); uncreated, immaterial and eternal. The Father is the eternal source of the Godhead, from whom the Son is begotten eternally and also from whom the Holy Spirit proceeds eternally. The essence of God being that which is beyond human comprehension and cannot be defined or approached by human understanding. In discussing God's relationship to his creation a distinction is made within Orthodox theology between God's eternal essence and uncreated energies, though it is understood that this does not compromise the divine simplicity. Energies and essence are both inseparably God. The divine energies are the expressions of divine being in action according to Orthodox doctrine, whereas the persons of the Trinity are divine by nature. Hence, created beings are united to God through participation in the divine energies and not the divine essence or ousia. John 1 Proverbs 13 2 Corinthians 5 Listen to Josh Turner sing "Long Black Train." Turner told The Boot that the song was inspired by a vision that he had of a long, black train running down a track in the middle of nowhere. Turner said, "I could see people standing out to the sides of this track watching this train go by. As I was walking, experiencing this vision, I kept asking myself, 'What does this vision mean and what is this train?' It dawned on me that this train was a physical metaphor for temptation. These people are caught up in the decision of whether or not to go on this train."

The Didache Chapter 5 To mature our spirit, we must align our conscience with that of Jesus and His relationship with our Father. If I am graced with wisdom given by his advocate, I will gain greater peace with those neighbors I fail to understand and still call my enemy.

The Didache Chapter 5 Phaedrus By Plato Written 360 B.C.E Translated by Benjamin Jowett (1817 – 1893) From what I have read Socrates understood the concept of excess being an attribute of pleasure, but failed to link temperance as an attribute of love. Instead Socrates considered passion a negative aspect of desire for personal beauty and defined this as love. Candaules, King of Lydia, Shews his Wife by Stealth to Gyges, One of his Ministers, As She Goes to Bed William Etty 1787–1849 Date Exhibited 1830 Medium Oil paint on canvas I wonder what Saint Paul thought about Socrates being sentenced to death discussing the greatest of desires of flesh, 'pleasure'. Christ clearly explained the answer to this discourse. And through the will of God, Paul was himself enlightened and able to Christianize his fellow Jews, tree worshipers, and polytheist believers. Galatians 5 Both Socrates and later Jesus expected death on their last day. Both understood the choice between the flesh and the soul. Mark 14 It is hard to imagine knowing that you are going to die a slow horrifying death according to your Father's will. A sinless son knowing he is going to be tortured and executed is like a lamb knowing he is going to be slaughtered.

But he never found the true essence of Beauty. Do gold grills make Madonna beautiful when she smiles? While personal beauty is fleeting, the essence of of the beautiful is eternal divine perfection. Psalms 27 The attributes of beauty in God's creation are countless. But these attributes of beauty derive from the essence of God's Divine perfection. Joy Of The Lord Oil painting by Greg Olsen The Divine Beauty of God is without defect or limitation. Those that strive to see Divine Beauty should be humble, genuine, and able to overcome the desire for material beauty. James 1 Euthryphro Persons of the Dialogue Socrates. Euthryphro Scene: The Porch of King Archon "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?" Ever since Plato's original discussion, this question has presented a problem for some theists, though others have thought it a false dilemma, and it continues to be an object of theological and philosophical discussion today. What makes the god-beloved the god-beloved is the fact that Elohim loves it, whereas what makes the pious the pious is something else. German philosopher and mathematician Gottfried Leibniz presented this version of the dilemma: "It is generally agreed that whatever God wills is good and just. But there remains the question whether it is good and just because God wills it or whether God wills it because it is good and just; in other words, whether justice and goodness are arbitrary or whether they belong to the necessary and eternal truths about the nature of things. It is the view that there are independent moral standards: some actions are right or wrong in themselves, independent of God's commands. This is the view accepted by Socrates and Euthyphro in Plato's dialogue. The Mu'tazilah school of Islamic theology also defended the view (with, for example, Nazzam maintaining that God is powerless to engage in injustice or lying), as did the Islamic philosopher Averroes. I would disagree with any statement that our Creator is powerless to do any action. Just as we should choose our words and actions, God chooses his words and actions wisely, because He is perfection and we are not. I am still pondering why God creates, tests, modifies and destroys those those that go against his will. We do the same thing to ourselves and other species on the planet. We test, modify, create, and destroy.. I am not stating that God has the same intentions. But, our actions are similar when experiments go bad. I am quite sure that it is in our nature to learn and understand God's will and moral framework to not destroy, but better ourselves. God's love has graced us the gift of freedom to follow or rebel against His law. But, we cannot change God's will; for the imperfect cannot change the perfect. God's freedom of rebellion is the choice to destroy our body and soul. God has graced us with a final gift that we can plead for His Mercy from destruction, which may be given if we have given Mercy to others. God has also given us freedom to do righteous actions above His law, only because they are not rebelling against His will and are an integral part of His moral framework to attain perfection. Non righteous non rebellious actions independent of God's law would not be considered moral, but still under God's will. Since we are not perfect we have not authority to determine eternal moral actions on our own. Ethics reveal this to be true, for they are fluid to change by the power of popular opinion. These independent actions can lead to rebellion and idolatry if they become excessive. Even the best of intentions can lead to destruction if we go against God's will.

The Didache Chapter 5 Surat Maryam (Mary) 19 Surat Al-Mā'idah (The Table Spread) 5 Surat Al-Mā'idah (The Table Spread) 5 Muslims are similar to Christians on how one is able to achieve paradise by believing in God (Elohim - Allah) and following His Commands. The difference is in the divinity of Jesus. The Quran states that Jesus and Mary (Mother of Jesus) are not divine; there is no Father Son kinship between Jesus and Elohim; when Jesus was taken up to Heaven He had no further knowledge of what His disciples were doing; and finally Elohim did not give Jesus the power to judge the living and the dead. Most Christians would agree upon Mary being holy, but not divine. Catholics do believe that Mary is Queen of Heaven, but consider her a servant to Jesus and Elohim and not divine. If Christians are to believe the testimony of John is true, Then Christians accept, affirm, and honor Jesus kinship to Our Father. For Elohim has given His Glorious power to His Son to raise the dead, to see and judge the hearts of mankind. John 5 Codex Sinaiticus The Glory of Elohim is not an idol. The Glory of Elohim is what gives all the universe movement and life. The grace of receiving the Glory of Elohim is something we all want to achieve. But, only those that follow the commands of Elohim have the opportunity to experience it by living righteously. For Elohim will not share it with selfish hearts. Those that do not follow the commands of Elohim will experience the power of the evil one, who is subject to Elohim. I humbly wonder if the Glory of Elohim is His radiant love for all that follow Him. Is Elohim eternal love for Jesus is like my wanting my son Luke to do better than me. Is Elohim eternal love for His adopted children like my love for my adopted daughter Lyra. I want her to do better than me as well. I love them both with all my essence. I do understand that love for my ward Joe is like a big brother that ebbs and flows. I do my best to serve and protect him. And he helps me tremendously with caring for my mother, household needs, and mentally supporting me when I am down. My love for my mother endures in her time of need. She gave me life, and help nurture me to be the man I am. I am still working on a man who was a false witness against me and refused to reconcile. I leave justice to Jesus. John 14 Paul's passage in Corinthians seems to be that Jesus has been temporarily given the power of God. When Jesus is finished, He return the power of God to His Father. Then God will disperse his power to all His adopted children. During his mortal life, Jesus selflessly submitted to His Father's will. In the end, he will do the same. 1 Corinthians 15 Philippians 2 Codex Sinaiticus The commands of the Father given by the Son. Matthew 4 Codex Sinaiticus Each one of us has to make a choice on whether to put faith in this world or with the one who created it. If the choice is Elohim, then we must learn His law of unconditional love and mercy and reconciliation with family and nonfamily brothers and sisters. Jesus teaches us how to properly love and fear Elohim. I personally learned that all this writing I have done will not be rewarded with Elohim. It is neither perfect and nor anonymous. Therefore, any credit I receive for doing this is for Earthly reward only. I am sinner that wants to be accepted by Jesus, but I am not always pure. I enjoy making money. But, I realize that we should not idolize it. We live in a material world. Luke 16 Codex Sinaiticus Indeed, many believe that Jesus existed. Many believe in resurrection from the dead. Less believe that Jesus rose from the dead. Less believe in the testimony of Jesus. Of those who believe in Jesus resurrection and His testimony, less follow His commands. Kari Jobe - Forever (Live)

The Didache Chapter 5 You are my son!’ The King David was viewed as God’s “son” The idiom reflects ancient Near Eastern adoption language associated with covenants of grant, by which a lord would reward a faithful subject by elevating him to special status, referred to as “sonship.” Like a son, the faithful subject received an “inheritance,” viewed as an unconditional, eternal gift. Such gifts usually took the form of land and/or an enduring dynasty. The Hebrew for "begotten" is YALAD and the lexical meaning is "to bear, beget, or bring forth."The phrase "only begotten" in the New Testament comes from the Greek word MONOGENES which means unique or "one and only" Son in the sense that an only child is the only one of his parents. Psalm 2 http://www.truthnet.org/TheMessiah/12_Messiah_Objections_Psalms_2_22/ Psalm 89 Psalm 89 (200 BC) 4Q236 = 4QPs89 2 Samuel 7 John 1:18 King James Version No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. o monogenes uios John 1:18 New American Standard Bible No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. The following manuscripts support 'the only' begotten God.' Papyrus 66 (AD 200) Papyrus 75 (AD 175-225) Diatessaron ("Out of Four") of Titan the Syrian [Arabic version] (c. 160-175) Syriac Peshitta (AD 150) Adysh manuscript (AD 897)-Gregordian-Georgian/Iberian version Opiza manuscript (AD 913) Tbet’ manuscript (AD 995) Minuscule 423 (AD 1556) Bohairic Coptic [codex Bodmer III] (AD 300) Codex B- Sinaiticus (c. 330–360) Codex A- Vaticanus (c. 325–350) Codex D- Cantabrigiensis[ Greek-Latin diglot] (c.400) Apostolic Constitutions (AD 375 -380) Codex Regius (AD 701-800) Papyrus Bodmer II translation variant The Bodmer Papyri are a group of twenty-two papyri discovered in Egypt in 1952. They are named after Martin Bodmer who purchased them. The papyri contain segments from the Old and New Testaments, early Christian literature, Homer and Menander. The oldest, Papyrus 66 (P66) dates to 200 AD. P66 reads 'only begotten God,' not 'only begotten Son of God.' It is said that it is the earliest witness to omit the Pericope de Adultera (John 7:53 – 8:11). Many scholars believe that the scribe of P66 probably did not personally know Greek, but was simply copying out, letter by letter, the papyrus manuscript. Aleph (Codex Sinaiticus) and B (Codex Vaticanus). and two papyrus fragments discovered later, p66 & p75 contain the "only begotten God." The fifth century codex Alexandrinus (A) has "only begotten Son." John 1:18 New American Bible, revised edition No one has ever seen God. The only Son, God, who is at the Father’s side, has revealed him. 'The only Son, God' translation above follows earliest manuscripts, monogenēs theos,but takes the first term to mean not just “Only One” but to include a filial relationship with the Father Is there a difference to the meaning of these textual variants? We know that Jesus was subject to the Father during his mortal life. We know that in the end Jesus himself will be subjected to the Father. But it is my understanding the time between the resurrection and the end everything subjected to Christ. P66, P75 and many early manuscripts indicate Christian scribes followed the newly adopted Jewish practice to avoid the usage of the Tetragrammaton. Words like Father, God and Jesus Christ were considered to sacred and were abbreviated to avoid misspelling errors. http://earlybible.com/manuscripts/p66-Joh-1.html http://firstfollowers.vision.org/first-followers/?Tag=P66 https://israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/Jesus%20Was%20Not%20A%20Jew%20and%20Other%20Things%20%5BA%5D.htm To understand the variant of John 1:18 discussed above. We need to look at at verses that are not debated and gain truth from their wisdom. Here we see that God gave his son, who was in Heaven, down to earth to save mankind and show those who believe in the teachings of Jesus the means of gaining eternal life. John 3 Sinaiticus 1 John 4 Codex Sinaiticus Acts 13 Codex Sinaiticus Colossians 1 Codex Sinaiticus John 3 Conflict can arise when one state Jesus is the Son of the one and only living God or state Jesus is God. Nevertheless, Jesus showed us how to become adopted children of God and receive his power by living righteously (sinless). The key is to us becoming begotten is to unconditionally love God and follow His commands. There are many manuscripts that have textual variants from the original autographs. But, what I truly find a miracle is that all of God's eternal commands remain the same. Love him and your neighbor.

The Didache Chapter 5 I know now that I am truly and infant in Christ and I pray my sins to not cause me spiritual death. 1 John 5 John 16 Exodus 15 Hashem honored King David with the royal priesthood King Melchizedek had. Psalms 118 Psalm 109 King David's palace was located to the right of the temple to indicate the royal priesthood relationship he had with Hashem. Jesus was pressing the language here to get the Pharisees to reflect on how much greater the Messiah is. King David throne was on Earth next to Hashem's temple. Jesus throne is in Heaven at the right hand of Hashem. Matthew 22 Luke 22 Take it a break an listen to the Newsboys - "We Believe." I get chills every time I listen to this song. Last days Luke 17 During the second coming of Jesus Christ there is going to be a physical separation of good and bad people that have intermixed together. Listen to the Newsboys 'God's Not Dead.' I can only imagine that our Father consider music like this as the ultimate form of praise. The Great Isaiah Scroll

The Didache Chapter 5 When you accept Jesus Christ as your advocate to Hashem, there is no turning back from His commands as well. If you do rebel against them, then you are our rejecting our Almighty Father as well. In this matter the two, Father and Son, are one of the same will. This statement is termed by many as ludicrous, irrational, too complex to believe. That is why many believe faith is for fools. What do you believe? Luke 9 A rainbow appears over a tree of life. I like to sometimes think Hashem taught Jesus how the art of fishing. I have found patience and understanding that I can always learn something new helps me. Only the truly righteous can judge others. And Jesus is the only truly righteous person I know. John 7 When someone in need asks you for something remember this passage. Jesus states that is how you will be judged. Matthew 25 Jude 1 My first concert was ACDC Back in Black tour. It is real easy to get seduced by guitarist Angus Young intensely hypnotic playing style. Watch the crowd chant with AC/DC performing "Highway To Hell." The band states that the lyrics Highway to Hell came from their life on the road and their name came from an Alternating Current/Direct Current label on a sewing machine. But, Christians took notice of their catchy melodies coined a new meaning to thier ACDC acronym the "Anti Christian/Devil cult. Here are some lyrics: Hey satan payin' my dues playin' in a rockin' band hey mumma look at me I’m on the way to the promised land I’m on the highway to hell. or I'll give you black sensations up and down your spine If you're into evil you're a friend of mine See the white light flashing as I split the night Cause if good's on the left then I'm sticking to the right I won't take no prisoners won't spare no lives Nobody's puttin' up a fight I got my bell I'm gonna take you to hell I'm gonna get ya satan get ya AC/DC has influenced generations and there is more to come. Watch the video and discern for yourself. At the Grammy Awards the audience was given red AC/DC horns to promote Satan/Lucifer as cool. Here you see Katy Perry (Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) proudly wearing red devil horns and making the Satan hand gesture. Katheryn Hudson has renounced her Christian Pentecostal upbringing. "I don't believe in a heaven or a hell or an old man sitting on a throne," said Perry in an issue of Marie Claire. Hudson now finds spirituality through the writing of Eckhart Tolle (The Power of Now influenced the song "This Moment"). Read more at Marie Claire "Katy Conquers All." I will have to read some of Eckhart Tolle's teachings. As a son of a deacon, I can relate to the pressure and rebellion that Katheryn is going through. Spiritual wisdom has to be properly nurtured, but cannot be forced into anyone. For myself the process came after getting divorced. I was depressed and thought about drinking, but chose to read the Bible as a cathartic process to heal my mind. By the power of the Holy Spirit I have gained a revelation of understanding my father's vocation and his belief on the discipline of humility. In my youth I would be wearing those red devil horns as well. I thank Jesus for his coming to save sinners like myself. The Grammy show politely requested the Devil Horns they had given to the audience not be worn during the rest of the awards ceremony. I wonder why the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) permitted a satanic ritual at all. Is demon worship the new direction of the mainstream music industry? It appears that the Executives of Universal Music Group (UMG Recordings, Inc.) are promoting Satanism to young people seeking social identity. UMG Chair Lucian Charles Grainge is a practicing Ashkenazi Jew. He is also a member of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, an organization dedicated to fighting intolerance and promoting understanding between ethnic communities. I cannot fathom how promoting a symbol of HATE reconciles with Jewish community who have been persecuted by ignorant HATE. I pray that Katheryn gains the wisdom that rebellion against Hashem is not the same as rebellion against her parents. I pray that Katheryn and her family gets filled with the love of the Holy Spirit. Hashem's will be done. I pray that Lucian Grainge understands that his power at UMG is nothing to Hashem. Just like many radical Christians and Muslims, there are radical Jews like, Anton LaVey who twisted the Great Sage Hillel's Golden Rule to "You should do unto others as you would have them do unto you, but if your courtesy is not returned, they should be treated with the wrath they deserve.” That quote can be found in the Satanic Bible published by HarperCollins (the same people that publish the study bible). "Do as thou wilt" rebels directly against the will of Hashem. Christians, Muslims, and Jews must come together as brothers and sisters under a living Father who loves us all. I pray that Katheryn and Lucian focus their energy and resources on promoting unconditional love. Read more at Business Insider "Why Katy Perry was wearing light-up devil horns at the Grammys." The Devil Horns or “Rock on!”, also known as “Mano Cornuto,” is an ancient symbol of that has evolved in Black Metal culture to proclaim allegiance to Satan. Coven is credited with introducing the Devil Horns with their album release of "Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls" in1969, opens with a song called “Black Sabbath,” and features a long-haired guy named Oz Osborne (not to be confused with John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne of Black Sabbath). Infants' flesh they did offer for the prince to devour. Covens join, all combine, powers strong, thoughts align. If witchcraft all the fools condemn, it turns around and crushes them. When good has been twisted, when good has been killed, then love is resisted and blood will be spilled. Accursed ye'll be! From toes to eyes! Accursed ye'll be! Until ye dies! A friend that I used to work with told me that I could not be a farmer until I grew my own crop. I think the same thing is to be a called a true righteous Christian. I struggle with purging all my sins everyday. I ask for your prayers through the Holy Spirit to guide me to discern both Jesus and Hashem's commands. I also realize the responsibility of what I write here must conform to the will of Hashem and our Savior Jesus Christ. I also ask for your prayers that I follow the moral Christian code. I am by no means perfect, but I profess the desire to be a servant of Jesus Christ. I also ask you to pray that we all may discern who among us are false teachers and prophets. The Holy Spirit has led me to believe that if a teacher goes against a command of Jesus then that teacher should be confronted. This includes my myself. If the teaching was a mistaken error and the teacher repents, then all should be forgiven. I do understand that my research and comments are subjective to my understanding the Didache, and the will of Hashem. If you find error in what I write I pray that you please let me know. Eckhart Tolle was listed by the Watkins Review as the most spiritually influential person in the world. Watkins Books is London's oldest esoteric bookshop specializing in esotericism, mysticism, occultism, oriental religion and contemporary spirituality.The book store was established by John M. Watkins, a friend of Madame Blavatsky, in 1897 at 26 Charing Cross.In Tolle's book, 'A New Earth' he writes, "There is only one absolute Truth, and all other truths emanate from it. . . . Yes, you are the Truth. If you look for it elsewhere, you will be deceived every time. The very Being that you are is Truth. Jesus tried to convey that when he said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.”. . . Jesus speaks of the innermost I Am, the essence identity of every man and woman, every life-form, in fact. He speaks of the life that you are. It is my understanding that in Genesis the serpent states Eve will be like a divine being. It is true that we gained knowledge of good and evil, but I disagree on Tolle's belief that we are the truth and the light. The apostle John states that Hashem is the light we must walk in. To attain this light we must be in fellowship with our neighbor and follow Our Father commands. Then we may ask and His Son our Advocate Jesus Christ to forgive our sins and lead us to everlasting truth and light. I like to understand Hashem as a spiritual power source that sends grace though his Holy Spirit to all of us. Jesus is the one that regulates Hashem's power to those of us that request Grace. In the physical world a electric utility company sends power to all its customers. Just to reiterate, through Grace Hashem's light and truth flows to us. Light and truth does NOT emanate from us. 1 John 1 There are those that teach that truth and light emanates from Hashem's adversary and Jesus the Son of God is just a myth. Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (baptized Russian Orthodox) was an occultist, spirit medium, and author who co-founded the Theosophical Society in 1875. Blavatsky famously wrote in her book Isis Unveiled: Vol. II, Theology, published by Theosophical University Press, "Jesus, the Christ-God, is a myth concocted two centuries after the real Hebrew Jesus died; 2, that, therefore, he never had any authority to give Peter, or anyone else, plenary power; 3, that, even if he had given such authority, the word Petra (rock) referred to the revealed truths of the Petroma, not to him who thrice denied him; and that besides, the apostolic succession is a gross and palpable fraud; 4, that the Gospel according to Matthew is a fabrication based on a wholly different manuscript. The whole thing, therefore, is an imposition alike upon priest and penitent.” In 'The Secret Doctrine' by Helena Petrovna Blavatsky writes, "Lucifer represents ..Life.. Thought.. Progress.. Civilization.. Liberty.. Independence.. Lucifer is the Logos.. the Serpent, the Savior." With Divine knowledge comes power. With power comes responsibility. One who abuses the Divine knowledge of power for themselves becomes an adversary to our Lord. If one bears false witness on the source of pure power, then that person becomes an adversary to our Lord. If one bears false witness on who is our true master, then that person becomes an adversary of our Lord. We know that Hashem does not always show mercy to those that influence many against His commands. 2 Peter 2 Just as Jesus bought our deliverance from spiritual oppression, Hashem bought Israel from physical oppression. If I could travel back in time, I would first want to meet Jesus, then I would next want to meet Moses. Exodus 15 1 Corinthians 4 An evil action of a false witness must be measured with its intent to do harm. Deuteronomy 19

The Didache Chapter 5 There consequences in the lack of faith appear to be greater for the most exalted followers of Hashem. Ignorance is more readily forgiven. Exodus 17 (Masoretic Text) Hashem is aware of every action you make and judge whether it is impulsive or deliberate. We can only glimpse into His judging process. But, what we see is that it is best to follow His every command. Numbers 20 (Masoretic Text) Moses did not get to spend time in the promised land, due to his transgression against Hashem. He could have received far worse for his misuse of borrowed power. But, Hashem does show mercy to those that serve him and repent. Although, the mercy may not at times be a full pardon. Deuteronomy 3 (Masoretic Text) Deuteronomion 3 (A New English Translation of the Septuagint) Accepting the truth that Hashem, Jesus and the Holy Spirit exist is not enough We must trust in our Creator's plan for us and not fail in our struggle to unconditionally love and forgive our enemies as Jesus has commanded all mankind to do. Those that fail Jesus command will be considered bad fruit and shown no mercy. Close your eyes and listen to Billie Holiday sing "Strange Fruit" originated as a poem written by American writer, teacher and songwriter Abel Meeropol under his pseudonym Lewis Allan, as a protest against lynchings.

Branford Clarke illustration in The Ku Klux Klan In Prophecy 1925 by Bishop Alma White published by the Pillar of Fire Church in Zarephath, NJ The line between justice of avenging a murder and committing another is an example of what are Lord has to told us not to do. We need to let our appointed judges and jury decide a man's fate like Hashem has commanded. At the same time, I do understand that this requires much discipline when your loved one has been murdered. The above photo primarily espouses the first female Bishop in the United States, Alma White's deep fear and hatred of the Roman Catholic Church while also promoting racism against African Americans, antisemitism, white supremacy, and women's equality. It was published in 1925 by the Pillar of Fire Church. Below is a photo of Bishop Alma White preaching at the pulpit https://archive.org/details/demonstongue00whit Hostility to Catholics was prominent among Protestants in Britain and Germany from the Protestant Reformation onwards. Immigrants brought that hostility with them to the American colonies. Two types of anti-Catholic rhetoric existed in colonial society. The first, derived from the theological heritage of the Protestant Reformation and the religious wars of the sixteenth century, consisted of the Biblical "Anti-Christ" and the "Whore of Babylon" variety and dominated anti-Catholic thought until the late seventeenth century. The second type was a secular variety which focused on the alleged intrigues of Catholic states which were hostile to both Marxism and Classical Liberalism. Historians have studied the motivations for anti-Catholicism. The basic motivations were political (the threat posed by Rome and its allies to Protestant nations) and theological. However, scholars have also speculated on the psychological motivations, usually concluding that a strong element of irrational bigotry was involved. Historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Sr. characterized prejudice against the Catholics as "the deepest bias in the history of the American people." Conservative writer Peter Viereck once commented that (in 1960) "Catholic baiting is the anti-Semitism of the liberals." Historian John Higham described anti-Catholicism as "the most luxuriant, tenacious tradition of paranoiac agitation in American history". After 1980, the historic tensions between evangelical Protestants and Catholics faded dramatically. In politics the two often joined together in conservative social and cultural issues, such as opposition to abortion and gay marriage. By 2000 the Republican coalition included about half the Catholics and a large majority of white evangelicals.

Here is a Firefighter saving little girl from a fire. Christians helping those in need in Pakistan Before baptizing our Messiah Jesus Christ, Saint John ministered the idea of selfless acts to the crowds that followed him. John the Baptist used the analogy of good and bad fruit. He also used the analogy of separating the spiritual wheat from the chaff. Luke 3:7 starts with John rebuking the Jews that being a descendant of Abraham is not enough. Righteous Jews must be selfless in their actions and money should not lead their life. Luke 3 Up to the very end of its lifecycle, grain and chaff are one and the same thing. The wheat is the inside and the chaff is the outside. In order to separate the useful from the useless, a winnower has to give the grain time to dry, separating the wheat from its sheath, scoop the grain up and toss it high into the air. The wind that blows through the threshing floor, the place chosen to toss wheat because of the wind, blows the dry chaff from the grain into an area where it can be collected. The grain, however, falls back down to the ground where it will be gathered for use. Read more... Listen to "The Police - Wrapped Around Your Finger" and contemplate who is the servant and who is the master. Luke 22 I think it can be quite difficult for people to understand some scripture when it relates to agriculture if they never worked on a farm or never tried to grow food to eat. I now understand that the 12 Apostles will judge the 12 Tribes of Israel. And more importantly how we need to humble ourselves to serve those around us.

Through confirmation, holy communion, marriage, and holy orders the Catholic faithful are strengthened to defend the mystical body of Christ through charity and divine grace received by the Holy Spirit. Members of the body learn how through his sacrifice cross, Christ voided the old laws of Moses and won dominion over all humankind through his new mystical body of the Catholic faithful. The disease of sin does it best to sever the faithful from the mystical body through schism, heresy or apostasy, causing the member to rebel away from the charity and divine grace given by Holy Spirit. When one member suffers from sin, the whole mystical body and Jesus feels the pain. Through penance a saving medicine is administered to members of the church that have fallen to sin that protects the mystical body from further contagion. Some members that rebel from grace cannot be cured or healed and are removed from the church body. Love Hashem not his creation, Love your neighbor not their possessions, Love your yourself not your possessions, Care for and do not take advantage of the widows and orphans Care for and do not take advantage of the poor Care for and do not take advantage of the sick and infirmed Rebuke the evil one, Rebuke the sin, not the sinner, Rebuke the hypocrite Pay attention to the instructions of Hashem and His faithful subjects Pay attention to the instructions of your leaders and judges. Pay attention to the instructions of your priests, rabbis, ministers, and pastors Discern the words of Hashem and his faithful subjects, Discern the words of your leaders and judges, Discern the words of your priests, rabbis, ministers, and pastors, Support and obey the truth of Hashem and His faithful subjects, Support and obey the truth of just leaders and judges, Support and obey the truth of your priests, rabbis, ministers, and pastors, Praise and sing to Hashem, Praise and sing to Jesus Christ, Praise and sing to the Holy Spirit. Hashem's obedient will suffer against the rebellious. Your good deeds will not go unnoticed. For the Kingdom of Hashem is near. I used to consider that when I entered heaven I would be judged by the weight of my sins vs. the weight of my good deeds. I was wrong. Ezekiel illustrates that Jesus knows whether my most current actions is sanctifying or rebelling against his mystical body. So if I lived good most of my life and then near the end my actions turned evil, The Holy Spirit will leave me and I will not be able to hear Jesus call. Instead, I will hear the voice of the evil one commanding me to follow him. In turn, if I had committed evil actions all my life and then near the end my actions turned good. The evil one will lose his grip on me. Instead, I will hear Jesus call to his flock to come to him.

The Didache Chapter 5 Deuteronomy Chapter 32 Samaritans interpret "I kill and I make alive", as "I will give life to the dead" or aḥayei et ha-met. Also known as 4QPseudo-Ezekiel, and referred to in older reference sources as 4QSecond Ezekiel, Pseudo-Ezekiel is a fragmentary, pseudepigraphic Hebrew text found in Cave 4 at Qumran, and therefore belongs to the cache of manuscripts popularly known as the Dead Sea Scrolls. It is also classified as "parabiblical" and considered, in some accounts, as "apocalyptic" as well. Not known even in the scholarly world until the late 1980s, and not published until 2001, Pseudo-Ezekiel has emerged as one of the most controversial texts among Qumran finds in the early years of the twenty-first century. 4Q385c is illegible, and the remaining text is described as being "in poor condition," but all told the fragments yield four to six columns of text, with some measure of overlap among the various fragments. Other than the obvious flow of the text from Column 1 to Column 2, it is not known how they rightly fit together, although editor Devorah Dinant, who published the text in 2001, has suggested that the sequence of events in the canonical Book of Ezekiel provides a basis for the order currently observed. The text as a whole appears to be a discussion between Ezekiel and YHWH, beginning with YHWH promising to Ezekiel that the dry bones will be raised and knitted together again to resurrect the kingdom of Israel. The author has taken the biblical account of Ezekiel 37 as his source, but whereas the resurrection of Israel in Ezekiel 37 is a metaphor for national restoration, Pseudo-Ezekiel describes the resurrection of the righteous dead of Israel. Pseudo-Ezekiel therefore takes its place alongside 4Q521 as one of the only two texts found at Qumran which clearly refer to resurrection. This is followed by a prophecy that a "son of Belial" will come to oppress the Israelites, but he will be defeated and "his dominion will not exist." In remaining fragments, Ezekiel asks YHWH if time itself could be made to accelerate so that Israel may reclaim the promised land sooner rather than later. There is an stray segment which redresses the theme of resurrection, followed by a final evocation of the Merkabah, the chariot of YHWH mentioned in Ezekiel 1. http://www.deadseascrolls.org.il/explore-the-archive/manuscript/4Q386-1?locale=en_US Translation of column 2 of 4Q386 Pseudo Ezekiel fragment The majority of Septuagint manuscripts and a Masada biblical manuscript, makes the point that the dry bones symbolically stand for the whole house of Israel.

The Didache Chapter 5 Great Isaiah Scroll Chapter 53 Jesus reminded the disciples that He had previously taught them that He would fulfill everything written about the Messiah in the Old Testament. The Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms were the three major divisions of the Hebrew Bible in Jesus’ day. Fulfillment was a divine necessity. A day in the Temple began with the sacrifice of a lamb and it concluded with the sacrifice of a lamb. Numbers 28 Paul knew that the righteous Lamb of Hashem was a greater sin offering than goats, bulls, or enemies of invading nations.. Hashem had His righteous Lamb willingly sacrifice himself to acquit the sins of His rebellious children for breaking the blood covenant with Moses. Hebrews 9 In Leviticus we read the commands of Hashem that burnt-offering do indeed bring atonement for the Jews under the Covenant of Moses. Then we read in Psalms King David stating that Hashem takes no delight in burnt offerings. Then Paul reiterates that burnt offerings are useless, but Christ has made the sacrifice of his life to atone all mankind.

Galatians 1 Tertullus, the Jewish Attorney in Law, was hired to prosecute Saint Paul as the leader of a cult outside mainstream Judaism to Governor Felix. The Roman Empire tolerated Judaism, but the “sect of the Nazarenes” were not a part of Judaism to the Jewish leaders. This title is a unique name for Christianity found nowhere else in the New Testament. Tertullus evidently used this name to make “the Way” sound as bad as possible. Some biblical scholars state that there is no evidence of a town of Nazareth and point Acts 24:5 that it there was a misunderstanding in the translation. Jesus of Nazareth should actually be Jesus the Nazarene. Acts 24 Acts 21 Paul's statement about the resurrection of the dead(Teḥiyyat Ha-Metim)was a common component in Jewish (Babylonian) and Zoroastrian eschatology. Daniel 12 Watch the crowd get caught up in the trance of "I Am The Resurrection" by the Stone Roses. Biblical scholar James Crossley has noted the biblical language throughout the song where the singer takes on the role of a Christ-like or God-like figure ("I am the resurrection and I am the life"). In addition to the title alluding to John 11, he argues that there are references to stubbornness and repentance found in the prophetic literature of the Old Testament (which repeatedly uses the language of "turning" to God) and persistence and redemption in the New Testament which uses the language of knocking at doors (e.g. Luke 11.5-10; Luke 13.23-27). The song therefore partly functions as "a story of God and Israel/humanity in the Bible" but now "applied to a human relationship"

The Didache Chapter 5 Along with Codex Vaticanus, the Codex Sinaiticus is considered one of the most valuable manuscripts for establishing the original text (textual criticism) of the Greek New Testament, as well as the Septuagint. It is the only uncial manuscript with the complete text of the New Testament, and the only ancient manuscript of the New Testament written in four columns per page which has survived to the present day. With only 300 years separating the Codex Sinaiticus and the original manuscripts of the New Testament, it is considered to be more accurate than most later copies in preserving superior readings where many later manuscripts are in error. For the Gospels, Sinaiticus is generally considered among scholars as the second most reliable witness of the text (after Vaticanus); in the Acts of the Apostles, its text is equal to that of Vaticanus; in the Epistles, Sinaiticus is the most reliable witness of the text. In the Book of Revelation, however, its text is corrupted and is considered of poor quality, and inferior to the texts of Codex Alexandrinus, Papyrus 47, and even some minuscule manuscripts in this place (for example, Minuscule 2053, 2062). Comparison of codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus Watch the video, "Dr. Dan Wallace - "Tischendorf and the Discovery of the Codex Sinaiticus: A Reassessment" http://youtu.be/7XmeV_0TsPY German Biblical scholar Lobegott Friedrich Constantin (von) Tischendorf discovered the worlds oldest and most complete bible from 325 AD in 1844, with complete New Testament not discovered before. Little is known of the manuscript's early history. According to Hort, it was written in the West, probably in Rome, as suggested by the fact that the chapter division in the Acts common to Sinaiticus and Vaticanus occurs in no other Greek manuscript, but is found in several manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate. Robinson countered this argument, suggesting that this system of chapter divisions was introduced into the Vulgate by Jerome himself, as a result of his studies at Caesarea. According to Kenyon the forms of letters are Egyptian and they were found in Egyptian papyri of earlier date. Gardthausen Ropes and Jellicoe thought it was written in Egypt. Harris believed that the manuscript came from the library of Pamphilus at Caesarea, Palestine. Streeter, Skeat, and Milne also believed that it was produced in Caesarea. Tischendorf wrote about his visit to the monastery in Reise in den Orient in 1846 (translated as Travels in the East in 1847), without mentioning the manuscript. Later, in 1860, in his writings about the Sinaiticus discovery, Tischendorf wrote a narrative about the monastery and the manuscript that spanned from 1844 to 1859. He wrote that in 1844, during his first visit to the Saint Catherine's Monastery, he saw some leaves of parchment in a waste-basket. They were "rubbish which was to be destroyed by burning it in the ovens of the monastery", although this is firmly denied by the Monastery. After examination he realized that they were part of the Septuagint, written in an early Greek uncial script. He retrieved from the basket 129 leaves in Greek which he identified as coming from a manuscript of the Septuagint. He asked if he might keep them, but at this point the attitude of the monks changed. They realized how valuable these old leaves were, and Tischendorf was permitted to take only one-third of the whole, i.e. 43 leaves. These leaves contained portions of 1 Chronicles, Jeremiah, Nehemiah, and Esther. After his return they were deposited in the Leipzig University Library, where they still remain. In 1846 Tischendorf published their contents, naming them the 'Codex Friderico-Augustanus' (in honor of Frederick Augustus and keeping secret the source of the leaves).[85] Other portions of the same codex remained in the monastery, containing all of Isaiah and 1 and 4 Maccabees.[86] In 1845, Archimandrite Porphyrius Uspensky (1804–1885), at that time head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem and subsequently Bishop of Chigirin, visited the monastery and the codex was shown to him, together with leaves which Tischendorf had not seen.[n 5] In 1846, Captain C. K. MacDonald visited Mount Sinai, saw the codex, and bought two codices (495 and 496) from the monastery. The codex was presented to Alexander II of Russia. In 1853, Tischendorf revisited the Saint Catherine's Monastery to get the remaining 86 folios, but without success. Returning in 1859, this time under the patronage of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, he was shown the Codex Sinaiticus. He would later claim to have found it discarded in a rubbish bin. (This story may have been a fabrication, or the manuscripts in question may have been unrelated to Codex Sinaiticus: Rev. J. Silvester Davies in 1863 quoted "a monk of Sinai who... stated that according to the librarian of the monastery the whole of Codex Sinaiticus had been in the library for many years and was marked in the ancient catalogues... Is it likely... that a manuscript known in the library catalogue would have been jettisoned in the rubbish basket." Indeed, it has been noted that the leaves were in "suspiciously good condition" for something found in the trash.[n 6]) Tischendorf had been sent to search for manuscripts by Russia's Tsar Alexander II, who was convinced there were still manuscripts to be found at the Sinai monastery. The story of how Tischendorf found the manuscript, which contained most of the Old Testament and all of the New Testament, has all the interest of a romance. Tischendorf reached the monastery on 31 January; but his inquiries appeared to be fruitless. On 4 February, he had resolved to return home without having gained his object: Saint Catherine's Monastery, commonly known as Santa Katarina, its official name being Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai, lies on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai, in the city of Saint Catherine in Egypt's South Sinai Governorate. The monastery is Greek Orthodox and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Built between 548 and 565, the monastery is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world, according to UNESCO report 60100 ha / Ref: 954. The monastery library preserves the second largest collection of early codices and manuscripts in the world, outnumbered only by the Vatican Library. It contains Greek, Arabic, Armenian, Coptic, Hebrew, Georgian, and Aramaic texts. In the area around the monastery, a small town has grown, with hotels and swimming pools, called Saint Katherine City. Saint Catherine's Monastery, Sinai, Egypt Watch the Video, "Lecture - Father Justin - Saint Catherine's Monastery - An Ark in the Wilderness" Evyn Kropf helped me discover that CodexSinaiticus.org website has an error of English translation of the Codex Sinaiticus. Here is a snapshot of the incorrect page. I plan on cross referencing the Codex Sinaiticus with this source in the future The New Testament translated from the Sinaitic manuscript discovered by Constantine Tischendorf at Mt. Sinai by H.T. Anderson. Published 1918 by Standard Pub. Co. in Cincinnati . Written in English. On September 13 1862, in an article of The Guardian, Constantine Simonides claimed that he is the real author of the Codex Sinaiticus and that he wrote it in 1839. Simonides lived in the monasteries on Mount Athos between 1839 and 1841 and again in 1852, during which time he acquired some of the biblical manuscripts that he later sold. According to Simonides it was "the one poor work of his youth". Simonides' uncle Benedict of Mt. Athos monastery in Greece, wanted to present Czar Nicholas of Russia with a fresh copy of the Greek Bible as thanks for the Czar's favors to the monastery. In 1856, Simonides presented the only known copy of the Shepherd of Hermas in Greek [actually it was from the Codex Fredrico-Augustanus that was later renamed and presented as the newly discovered Codex Sinaiticus] at the University of Leipzig and it was originally embraced by the scholars there as authentic. Henry Bradshaw, a scholar, didn't believe his claims. It is believed that Simonides made these claims in order to take revenge against Constantin Tischendorf, discoverer of the Codex Sinaiticus after Tischendorf disproved the authenticity of other forgeries by Simonides. Henry Bradshaw, a scholar, contributed to exposing the frauds of Constantine Simonides, and exposed the absurdity of his claims in a letter to the Guardian (26 January 1863). Bradshaw showed that the Codex Sinaiticus brought by Tischendorf from the Greek monastery of Mount Sinai was not a modern forgery or written by Simonides. Simonides' "claim was flawed from the beginning". The controversy seems to regard the misplaced use of the word 'fraud' or 'forgery' since it may have been a repaired text, a copy of the Septuagint based upon Origen's Hexapla, a text which has been rejected for centuries because of its lineage from Eusebius who introduced Arian doctrine into the courts of Constantine I and II. Saint Catherine's Monastery still maintains the importance of a letter, handwritten in 1844 with an original signature of Tischendorf confirming that he borrowed those leaves. However, recently published documents, including a deed of gift dated 11 September 1868 and signed by Archbishop Kallistratos and the monks of the monastery, indicate that the manuscript was acquired entirely legitimately. This deed, which agrees with a report by Kurt Aland on the matter, has now been published. Unfortunately this development is not widely known in the English-speaking world, as only German- and Russian-language media reported on it It appears that Czar Nicholas stole the Codex Sinaiticus from Saint Catherine's monastery, then sold it to the British. It also makes complete sense that Tischendorf did not realize scrolls were placed in baskets for storage. We know the Dead Sea scrolls were placed in pottery jars. Since he was unaccustomed to the monastery's way of keeping order, Tichendorf thought the monks were discarding the documents. Our culture puts discarded documents in trash baskets. I personally do it every day. A team of ethnographers should study the day-to-day operations of Saint Catherine's monastery to help outsiders understand its history better. in 2009. Doubts as to the legality of the gift arose because when Tischendorf originally removed the manuscript from Saint Catherine's Monastery in September 1859, the monastery was without an archbishop, so that even though the intention to present the manuscript to the Tsar had been expressed, no legal gift could be made at the time. Resolution of the matter was delayed through the turbulent reign of Archbishop Cyril (consecrated 7 December 1859, deposed 24 August 1866), and the situation only formalized after the restoration of peace. Here is a statement from Saint Catherine's Monastery on the Codex Sinaiticus document: Hashem works in mysterious ways. While the taking and not returning the codex was not a righteous act, spreading the word that confirms the testimony of Jesus Christ is a good for all humanity. Tischendorf was catalyst that sparked interest in the Codex Sinaiticus and strengthened the validity of our Bible. In the early 20th century Vladimir N. Beneshevich (1874–1938) discovered parts of three more leaves of the codex in the bindings of other manuscripts in the library of Mount Sinai. Beneshevich went on three occasions to the monastery (1907, 1908, 1911) but does not tell when or from which book he recovered. These leaves were also acquired for St. Petersburg, where they remain to the present day. For many decades, the Codex was preserved in the Russian National Library. In 1933, the Soviet Union sold the codex to the British Museum (after 1973 British Library) for £100,000 raised by public subscription (worth £6.2 million in 2015). After coming to Britain it was examined by T. C. Skeat and H.J.M. Milne using an ultra-violet lamp. In May 1975, during restoration work, the monks of Saint Catherine's Monastery discovered a room beneath the St. George Chapel which contained many parchment fragments. Among these fragments were twelve complete leaves from the Sinaiticus, 11 leaves of the Pentateuch and 1 leaf of the Shepherd of Hermas. Together with these leaves 67 Greek Manuscripts of New Testament have been found (uncials 0278 – 0296 and some minuscules). In June 2005, a team of experts from the UK, Europe, Egypt, Russia and USA undertook a joint project to produce a new digital edition of the manuscript (involving all four holding libraries), and a series of other studies was announced. This will include the use of hyperspectral imaging to photograph the manuscripts to look for hidden information such as erased or faded text.This is to be done in cooperation with the British Library. Prior to 1 September 2009, the University of the Arts London PhD student, Nikolas Sarris, discovered the previously unseen fragment of the Codex in the library of Saint Catherine's Monastery. It contains the text of Book of Joshua 1:10 The codex is now split into four unequal portions: 347 leaves in the British Library in London (199 of the Old Testament, 148 of the New Testament), 12 leaves and 14 fragments in the Saint Catherine's Monastery, 43 leaves in the Leipzig University Library, and fragments of 3 leaves in the Russian National Library in Saint Petersburg. The complete Codex Sinaiticus is now available online in digital form and available for scholarly study. The online version has a fully transcribed set of digital pages, including amendments to the text, and two images of each page, with both standard lighting and raked lighting to highlight the texture of the parchment. But, the untrained English reader should be cautious that some portions of the text may not be perfectly transcribed. In the event you have doubt review by H.T. Anderson's translation. If you do find an error let the staff working on translating the codex know. This is not the place to pass judgements, but perhaps I may say that, as it seems to me, both the monks and Tischendorf deserve our deepest gratitude, Tischendorf for having alerted the monks to the importance of the manuscript, and the monks for having undertaken the daunting task of searching through the vast mass of material with such spectacular results, and then doing everything in their power to safeguard the manuscript against further loss. If we accept the statement of Uspensky, that he saw the codex in 1845, the monks must have worked very hard to complete their search and bind up the results in so short a period I believe that the Holy Spirit guided me to discern this error and strengthen my spirit I know that Saint Paul's Testimony of the Trinity is true. During Mass today I had a revelation that while Angels are messengers from Our Father, the Holy Spirit comes down from Heaven to perform an action for Hashem or the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit brought life into our world. The Holy Spirit was there as a Pillar of Fire to the Jews. The Holy Spirit brought life into the Virgin Mary. The Holy Spirit came down to Jesus Christ and lifted the veil of our Lord's Destiny. The Holy Spirit entered the Apostles. The Holy Spirit guided an emperor to create a sanctuary to house testimonies of the Living Word at Mount Sinai that is held sacred by all monotheistic religions. The Holy Spirit guided monks to protect the testimony of the Living Word. The Holy Spirit guided Tischendorf to find Codex Sinaiticus. The Holy Spirit knew Tsar Nicholas would covet this Holy Relic. The Holy Spirit guided the faithful to acquire the greatest portion of the Codex Sinaiticus from an unholy Soviet Union. The Holy Spirit now has guided the British, German, Russian, and Egyptian monks to spread the good news to people of the East and West and eventually the rest of the world. I praise Our Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for making it so. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all Just like the Aaron and his physical descendants, Jesus and his spiritual descendants give opening and closing blessings to the faithful. Our Father's love created His Living Word and His Holy Spirit gave life and wisdom to His Living Word promised to His devoted children. Jesus Christ is the Living Word that has been revealed to the Prophets, Apostles, Saints in communion with the Holy Spirit.

The Didache Chapter 5 The Talmud states that Grace (An important, Biblical-commanded prayer) should be said after we have eaten and have been satisfied. This makes sense to me. Countless times I have thanked the person that prepared a meal for me, so giving thanks and praise to Hashem for being the true provider only makes sense. In Christian belief Jesus is one with Hashem, so giving thanks and praise to Jesus Christ would be a correct form of Grace. Jews do not believe Jesus is Hashem, giving thanks and praise to Jesus Christ for a meal is blasphemous. I would personally suggest using the term "Lord" when Christians and Jews are sharing a meal together. The Talmud also discusses the importance of purity during grace during a meal or reading the Torah. It is emphatically clear that the words of Hashem are not susceptible to those that are not ritually clean and can be recited. Hashem also has commanded Israel to share his story that was witnessed by his chosen to not forget His Grace and Mercy. Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Berakoth Folio 21a Is Grace and benediction (Berachot) the same thing to a Jew as to a Christian? A benediction (Latin: bene, well + dicere, to speak) is a short invocation for divine help, blessing and guidance, usually at the beginning and/or end of worship service. Judaism developed ritualized benedictions (Berachot) for use at the Temple of Jerusalem, and the home. These Berachot often took the form of a blessing upon the fulfillment of a mitzvah (divine commandment). The most important benediction was the Priestly Blessing pronounced by the Kohenim (priests descended from Aaron). Numbers 6 In Judeo-Christianity, the concept is the manifestation of Our Father rather than a remote immanence or delegation of an angel, even though a mortal would not be able to gaze directly upon him. In Jewish mysticism, it is traditionally believed that even the angels who attend Him cannot endure seeing the divine countenance directly. Where there are references to visionary encounters, these are thought to be either products of the human imagination, as in dreams or, alternatively, a sight of the divine glory which surrounds Our Father, not the godhead itself.

King James 2 Corinthians 13 Catholic Mass begins with the entrance chant/song. The celebrant and other ministers enter in procession and reverence the altar with a bow and/or a kiss. The altar is a symbol of Christ at the heart of the assembly and so deserves this special reverence to honor the sacrifice Jesus made for our salvation. The entire procession is a means of focusing and calling the people to prayer. We have a sense of being gathered before the altar to begin the celebration. All make the Sign of the Cross and the celebrant extends a greeting to the gathered people in recites a benediction (blessing) to the faithful taken from Saint Paul.

Was 2 Corinthians 13:14 is not included in the Codex Sinaiticus, but is included in the King James. Through the centuries, many words were added or omitted from the New Testament. What is truly important is to discern change in the meaning of these passages. Codex Sinaiticus 2 Corinthians 13 The world's oldest existing manuscript of the letters of St. Paul (P.Mich.inv.6238, also known in NT scholarship as P46). Thirty leaves of this manuscript, written in about 200 C.E., were found in Egypt and purchased by the University of Michigan Papyrology Collection in 1931 and 1933 (another 56 leaves, not included in this app, are housed in the Chester Beatty Library, Dublin; 18 leaves are missing completely). I contacted Evyn Kropf, the Librarian for the University of Michigan's Near Eastern and Religious Studies; Curator, Islamic Manuscripts Collection (734) 764-1220 The Codex Sinaiticus is generally dated to the fourth century, and sometimes more precisely to the middle of that century. It is possible that it is done at the same time as the P46. This passage is dedicated to Joesph Knight. He graciously downloaded the app on his Ipad. I was able to transcribe the translation of Papyrus 46 (P46) to English by Edgar Ebojo, University of Birmingham. Papyrus 46 2 Corinthians 13 The Acacian schism between the Eastern and Western Christian Churches lasted thirty-five years, from 484–519. It resulted from a drift in the leaders of Eastern Christianity toward Monophysitism, and Emperor Zeno's unsuccessful attempt to reconcile the parties with the Henotikon. Monophysitism was born in the theological "School of Alexandria", which began its Christological analysis with the (divine) eternal Son or Word of God and sought to explain how this eternal Word had become incarnate as a man—in contrast to the "School of Antioch" (birthplace of Nestorianism, the antithesis of Monophysitism), which instead began with the (human) Jesus of the Gospels and sought to explain how this man had become united with the eternal Word in the Incarnation. Both sides agreed, of course, that Christ was both human and divine, but the Alexandrians emphasized divinity (including the fact that the divine nature was itself "impassible" or immune to suffering) while the Antiochines emphasized humanity (including the limited knowledge and "growth in wisdom" of the Christ of the Gospels). Is it possible that the difference of 2 Corinthians 13 between the Codex Sinaiticus and Papyrus 46 has to do with Acacian schism?

The Didache Chapter 5 Deuteronomy 19 Psalms 51 Great Isaiah Scroll When comparing the Great Isaiah Scroll with the Chaldee paraphrase on the prophet Isaiah we find bold-hearted is synonymous with stout-hearted; triumph is synonymous with righteousness; and deliverance is synonymous with salvation.

The Great Isaiah Scroll and the Chaldee paraphrase exalt Hashem's servant. The Great Isaiah Scroll lifts up Hashem's servant will be lifted up and will be very high. The Chaldee paraphrase does not have Hashem's servant lifted up high, but extolled (praised) and very strong. The Great Isaiah Scroll has Hashem servant marred (disfigured, blemished, damaged) in his appearance. The Chaldee paraphrase has no mention of Hashem's servant being marred, but the appearance of the Israelite people being less bright and worse than other nations. The Chaldee paraphrase has the House of Israel waiting for Hashem's servant, but the Great Isaiah Scroll has no mention of Israel waiting for Hashem's servant. The Great Isaiah scroll has Hashem's servant startling many nations. The Chaldee has no mention of Hashem's servant startling many nations, instead has Hashem's servant scattering nations. The Great Isaiah scroll's has the king's shutting their mouths at Hashem's servant, which is synonymous with the Chaldee paraphrase having the kings putting their hands upon their mouths and keep silent at Hashem's servant. The Great Isaiah mentions what had not been told to the kings they will see, while the Chaldee paraphrase mentions what the kings have been told they will see. The Great Isaiah Scroll mention that what the kings heard they will understand. The Chaldee paraphrase mentions what the kings not heard they will consider. The Chaldee paraphrase on the prophet Isaiah Chapter LII If we are to consider both the Great Isaiah Scroll and Chaldee paraphrase as divinely inspired, and then combine their narrative, then we find the dark and disfigured House of Israel waiting for the appearance of their Messiah, Hashem's servant. He will be strong and yet marred startling and scattering many nations. Hashem's servant, the Messiah will lifted up and be praised. When the kings of these nations see the Messiah they will put their hands on the mouths, remain silent, and see what they have been both told and not known. These kings will hear what they have heard and not known. They will then understand and consider all that has been revealed to them. While listening to "SHEMA YISRAEL" by Micha'el Ben David, contemplate on the future prophet Hashem promised Moses, Kind David requesting Hashem's gracious mercy, and Issiah's revelation that Hashem's servant will deliver His people.

The grace of Jesus Christ was given as a face for all mankind to recognize. The mission of Jesus Christ is to be the Shepard Hashem promised that leads and delivers righteous brothers and sisters back home to the kingdom of Heaven. As Hashem's servant, Jesus has given us the ability to justify the law of Moses by his devout love and obedience to Our Father. His words and deeds were done for us to witness the truth about Hashem great love and mercy for all his children. Indeed Our heavenly Father has kept his promise. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun. Many of us are lost sheep looking for our good Shepard to bring us back home.

Hashem wants us to abate our earthly desires and focus on good works and loving our neighbor. Titus 2

Mishnah Torah Melachim uMilchamot - Chapter 10 I have learned that Jews believe only they are commanded to sanctify Hashem's name. But, if anyone Jew or gentile blaspheme the name of the Lord that individual is obligated to die. Now if a Jew or gentile blesses the ineffable name of Hashem, with an idol (another god, which includes Jesus Christ) then that individual is obligated to die. There is debate whether a gentile is obligated to die if a substitute of ineffable name is used (ie. Hashem, Adonai, etc...) during this blasphemy. Punishment for Jews is stoning. Punishment for gentiles is decapitation. I asked Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi about blasphemy. At this point I have received a response by an individual with an alias name. I contacted Noahide Nations on whether it is permissible for Catholics to study the Torah? Members of Noahide Nations were very kind and genuine in their response. Ironically, it reminded me of a passage I read in the Torah. Leviticus 19 Here are some excerpts from Noahide Nations members: David Barnes suggested that I watch the following youtube video of Rabbi Moishe Weiner, author of Sheva Mitzvos Hashem. It appears that it is permissible by some Sages for a non-Jew to study the Torah with humility and good intentions for gathering information to consider becoming a member of the Judaism faith and not intentionally causing a Jew to break the mitzvot (Commandments of Hashem). But, it is important to understand that the Sages appear to be in agreement that reading and following the Torah is not a command from Hashem to non-Jews. I believe that Rabbis know that the righteous are drawn to scripture for answers. Psalms Chapter 111 I am waiting for a response on whether it is not permissible for a Catholic Priest or Christian Minister to study the Torah to use in their homily or sermon? Although, Annelise of the Noahide Nations rumored speculation that there may be future rabbinic authority' for other gentiles, under the supervision of Jewish rabbis. Ecclesiastes John 5

The Didache Chapter 5 The Genesis Apocryphon, originally called the Apocalypse of Lamech and labeled 1QapGen, is one of the original seven Dead Sea Scrolls discovered in Cave 1 near Qumran in the West Bank. Composed in Aramaic, this document consists of four sheets of leather, and is the least well preserved document of the original seven. An online translation of the Genesis Apocryphon has been made available by the University of North Carolina, Charlotte Blumenthal Professor of Judaic Studies John C. Reeves. The Genesis Apocryphon describes Enoch more as a favored Prophet and grandfather to Lamech. And father to Methuselah. There is no mention of Enoch or Metatron.

The Rabbis held that God had given Noah seven commandments embracing the whole of natural religion: against (i) idol worship, (ii) blasphemy, (iii) bloodshed, (iv) adultery, (v) robbery, (vi) for the establishment of courts of justice, (vii) against eating the limb torn off a living animal. These were imposed on all men, Jews and non-Jews alike. V. Sanh. 56a ff. Cf. Maimonides' Guide for Perplexed, III, 48. Watch these two videos to get a better understanding of the Noahide commandments. As a Christian, if I profess to a Jew, "Bless [name of Hashem], in the name of Jesus Christ, the son of [name of Hashem]" would that be defined as breaking the Noahide and Leviticus law of blaspheme? Babylonian Talmud: Tractate Sanhedrin Folio 56a While he was on earth, Jesus never cursed or criticized Our Father. Jesus also told his disciples to listen and follow the Jewish Sages since they held the judgement seat of Moses. But, Jesus did criticized and condemn Jewish Sages living during his presence on earth. Our Lord Jesus was tortured and crucified under false charges that He practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy. Luke 22 Jews have had to be on guard against any corruptible displays of magic and idolatry. This is why they do not like displays of the cross or pictures of Jesus. But, some of them do display amulets to ward off evil as I previously discussed. Deuteronomy 18 Deuteronomy 29 The Isaiah that Christians follow knew that the righteous Lamb of Hashem would have suffer the ignorant punishment by the children of Israel. This was the will of Hashem have His righteous Lamb willingly sacrifice himself to acquit the sins of His rebellious children. Isaiah 53 The Isaiah that Rabbi Jonathan Ben Uziel paraphrased declares the the invading nations are the Lamb, the Messiah will have slaughtered as a sin atonement for Hashem and vengeance for Israel.. Like Moses the future Messiah will remove the invading nations from ruling the children of Israel. And all the wicked shall be thrown into Hell. The Chaldee Paraphrase on The Prophet Isaiah Chapter LIII (53) So we see two different works of Issiah's prophecy. One is of peace, the other is of vengeance. The first matches with Jesus teachings about retaliation and loving your enemies.The second emphasizes a more Talmudic view. Like the prophets before him, Jesus emphasized that it better to admonish sins against us and let appointed Judges deal with a just punishment then to avenge and cause harm to the transgressor ourselves. Hashem will judge the decision of those appointed as well as the the fate of every man's heart. We must do our best to not let our emotions get the best of us and sin ourselves. There is no good in evil and it is evil that has the power to destroy us if we will it. We must not fear or want vengeance against the rebellious that want to harm us. Rather we must pray that they understand their transgressions and come to know the Lord our Savior. And we must also forgive those who transgress against us when they repent for the transgression against us. Our Lord's Holy Spirit is near when the sinner feels remorse and begins to understand what it means to fear Our Heavenly Father. Hallowed be his name. True vengeance against the wicked is His alone. The prophets before Jesus believed that is was not bad to wish misfortune or hate an enemy. Even if that enemy was a member of your family. But, the prophets before Jesus did not believe in placing a curse of death or vengeance upon an enemy. And if an enemy was in distress, Hashem commanded his children to help them. Jesus Christ expanded Hashem's command to loving and giving to your enemy and expecting nothing in return. We should not resist or exile ourselves from the evil of our enemy. We need to ask the Holy Spirit to give us strength and courage to walk and live among them, while keeping our faith like Jesus did with Satan in the desert. Our selfless deeds will be honored in heaven. I have color coded this passage; blue are the words of Jesus Christ. purple are the words of Hashem, aqua blue are the words of the Prophets and Saints, and red represents rebellion and punishment. Green are prophecy from Jewish Sages. I have inserted other passages to strengthen understanding of the words of Jesus Christ. Matthew 5 Jewish Sages interpreted not bearing vengeance and grudges against scrooges (cold-hearted stingy, insensitive, selfish, unkind misers) that will not freely lend or help you in times of need. Scrooges may also insult you. Scrooges who appose Hashem's commands will be punished. But, those scrooges that learn to love Hashem and repent for their transgressions will be given mercy.

Not in my opinion. People should have the liberty to have currency and precious metals. Already we are seeing the credit card and retail companies are sharing our consumer data. Then there is the hacking and identity theft. And banks have been known to make errors. Finally, the IRS and Federal Reserve gets to know exactly where every cent is going.

The Didache Chapter 5 As the son of Deacon in the Catholic Church I was brought up thinking those of the Jewish faith believed in the Old Testament in the same manner as Christians. They just did not believe in Jesus or the New Testament. But, what I did not realize is that they believe in an expanded version of the Old Testament revealed in the Talmud, Targums, Midrash, etc. And they resent Christians reading the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, Leviticus). I am still not sure if all Jews believe in the Zohar. Rabbi Jonathan ben Uzziel was alive approximately thirty years before the birth of Jesus Christ. He was one of the 80 tannaim (Rabbinic Sages who studied under Hillel the Elder. He is the author of Targum Jonathan and a book of kabbalah known as Megadnim. I am quite sure our Lord Jesus Christ knew well Rabbi Uzziel's work. The Talmud relates that Yonatan ben Uziel, a student of Hillel, fashioned an Aramaic translation of the Prophets (Megillah 3a). It makes no mention of any translation by him of the Torah. So all scholars agree that this Targum on Genesis is not due to Yonatan ben Uziel. Indeed, de Rossi (16th century) reports that he saw two very similar complete Targumim to the Torah, one called Targum Yonatan Ben Uziel and the other called Targum Yerushalmi. For these reasons, scholars call it "Targum Pseudo-Jonathan". The first of these manuscripts cited by de Rossi is thought to have been the basis of the first printing in Venice (1591) where the false title Targum Yonatan ben Uziel is used. The second manuscript - the only known one to still exist - is in the British Museum and was published by Ginsburger in 1903. This targum is more than a mere translation. It includes much Aggadic material collected from various sources as late as the Midrash Rabbah as well as earlier material from the Talmud. So it is a combination of a commentary and a translation. In the portions where it is pure translation, it often agrees with the Targum Onkelos. The date of its composition is disputed. The majority opinion, on the basis of much internal evidence, is that it cannot date from before the Arab conquest of the Middle East despite incorporating some older material. For example, Ishmael's wife is called by the legendary Arabic name Fatimah. Gottlieb puts the time of composition toward the end of the 8th century. On the other hand, since the Geonim are unfamiliar with it, and Rashi does not mention it, Rieder puts the composition some time after Rashi, perhaps during the period of the crusades. On any view, it cannot have been composed later than the early 14th century, as it is referred to repeatedly by Rabbi Menahem Recanati (1250-1310) in his Perush 'Al ha-Torah. Here is an example of what I term 'Replacement Theology.' We are led to believe that the idea of Enoch being Metatron came before the time of Christ. When actually it was fabricated a millennia later. For those not familiar with his work it would appear authentic and put authenticity of the New Testament in question. Metatron the Great Saphra The Targum of Pseudo-Jonahan Ben Uzziel On the Book of Genesis SECTION I. BERASHITH. The Rabba Genesis rabbinic commentary does not agree with The Targum of Pseudo-Jonahan Ben Uzziel. Rabba Genesis Midrash Rabbah Rabbi Dr. H. Freedman, B.A., PH.D And Maurice Simon M.A. There is an actual Targum of Jonahan Ben Uzziel. In fact, his work revealed that the Jews in his time clearly understood the divinity of the Messiah to come was revealed in Isaiah. The Synagogue maintains that the Prophets Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi gave Jonathan Ben Uziel the Paraphrase written upon a roll spread over his head. Zebi Nasi Hirsch Prinz (Hebrew Tzvi Nassi) in German Heinrich Prinz, and later Rev. Christian William Henry Pauli (Breslau 11 August 1800 – Amsterdam 4 May 1877) was a convert to Christianity, missionary for the London Jewish mission, and Hebrew grammarian. He was born as the youngest of six children, and orphaned at 14. Although he is referred to as "Rabbi Tzvi Nassi" in some Messianic Jewish reprints of his proof of the Trinity from the Zohar, there is no indication that he was ever a rabbi. At the age of 21 he published in German, under the name Heinrich Prinz Sermons for pious Israelites. He was converted by L. A. Petri. In England Rev. Christian William Henry Pauli became a missionary for the London Society for promoting Christianity among the Jews of Joseph Frey, first in Berlin, then at Amsterdam. In 1839 as C. W. H. Pauli he published Analecta Hebraica, a Hebrew grammar. The Targum of Palestine, Commonly Entitled The Targum of Jonahan Ben Uzziel The Chaldee Paraphrase on The Prophet Isaiah Translated by Rev. C. W. H. Pauli 1871 1 Enoch was widely known during the development of the Hebrew Bible canon, but 1 Enoch was excluded from both the formal canon of the Tanakh and the typical canon of the Septuagint and therefore, also the writings known today as the Deuterocanon. One possible reason for Jewish rejection of the book might be the textual nature of several early sections of the book that make use of material from the Torah; for example, 1 En 1 is a midrash of Deuteronomy 33.The content, particularly detailed descriptions of fallen angels, would also be a reason for rejection from the Hebrew canon at this period – as illustrated by the comments of Trypho the Jew when debating with Justin Martyr on this subject. Trypho: "The utterances of God are holy, but your expositions are mere contrivances, as is plain from what has been explained by you; nay, even blasphemies, for you assert that angels sinned and revolted from God." (Dialogue 79) 1 Enoch also reveal that angel Gadriel (Gadreel, Gael) led Eve astray. And the angel Azazel was the one that revealed cosmetics, ornaments, colored dyes to enhance garments. The Book of Enoch translation by M. Knibb of the Ethiopian text in the S.O.A.S. Library at the University of http://www.revelation2seven.org/WebPages/SideLinks/TheDivineChariot.htm Vision” of the Biblical book of Ezekiel, chapter 1, made by Matthäus Merian (1593-1650), for his “Icones Biblicae” (a.k.a. “Iconum Biblicarum”). In 3 Enoch we read Metatron telling the story of the flood and using the narrative from Job. Ismael ben Elisha was alleged to have been been born just before the Destruction of the Second Temple (three decades after Jesus Christ Ascension to Heaven). Metatron (formerly Enoch) gives a very detailed account of all the holy beings in Heaven and Earth. Jesus Christ is not mentioned to be there. Further much of Metatron's duties are those mentioned to be Jesus Christ. 3 Enoch The Book of Enoch Rabbi Ishmael ben Elisha High Priest Adonai on His Throne of Glory The Great Isaiah Scroll Chapter 63 Let us view the differences the Great Isaiah Scroll and the Targum of Palestine. 63:8 For he said, Surely they are my people, children who will not act falsely, and so He became their savior. 63:9 In all their distress he was not distressed, but the angel of his presence that saved them; in his acts of love and in his pity he redeemed them; he carried them and lifted them up all the days of old. The Great Isaiah Scroll states because Israel was good, Hashem became the Savior and sent his angel of His presence to save them. 8.And He said, Surely, they are my people, children that will not lie: and His Word became their salvation. 9. Whenever they sinned against Him, that He might have brought them distress, He did not distress them; but an angel was sent from Him, who in His mercy redeemed them; and in His compassion, behold, He delivered them; and He bare them, and carried them all the days of old. The Targum of Palestine states because Israel spoke the the truth Hashem's holy name became their salvation and he sent down his angel to redeem them. 64:5 You meet those who gladly do right, those who remember you in your ways. See, you were angry, and we sinned against them for a long time, but we will be saved. The Great Isaiah Scroll shows confidence that the Jews will be saved in the future. 64:4 The works of our righteous fathers were acceptable in Thy sight, who rejoiced to do Thy will in truth and in righteousness: in the way of Thy goodness and mercy they remembered Thy fear whenever Thy wrath from Thy presence was upon us, because we had sinned: on account of the works of our righteous fathers, we have been saved. The Targum of Palestine states the Jews are already have been saved. Now let's review an authentic Targum of Rabbi Jonahan Ben Uzziel. The Chaldee Paraphrase on The Prophet Isaiah Translated by Rev. C. W. H. Pauli 1871 I find it interesting that the debate of whether Jews will be saved vs. Jews are already saved based on the works of their righteous ancestors is the same as whether Christians will be saved vs. Christians are already saved based on the works of Jesus Christ. Does Faith in Hashem's word alone save us? Or does Faith and good works save us? Metatron, the angel, the Prince of Presence depicted as a boy. 3 Enoch Exodus reveals that Faith in Hashem's word alone would not save the Israelites for harm. The Israelites had to follow all Hashem's commands and statutes to gain his protection. The above statement in 3 Enoch reveals that if Israel follows Metatron as Hashem's messenger, then Hashem will fight their battles and protect them from diseases. The Israelite nation will physically remain pure, if their minds and hearts stay pure. The question here is whether Metatron was Hashem's messenger. Metatron on His Throne of Glory. Apostasy? You decide. MERKABAH one of the eight great angelic princes of the throne of judgement who ranks higher than Metatron? Apostasy? You decide. As a Catholic I was taught that it was Jesus Christ the son of man, that was the unique one in Heaven that was glorified by Hashem and rules over all angels and children in heaven. It is Jesus words and deeds that brought salvation to all mankind. It is Jesus Christ that is the Son of Hashem. Jesus on His Throne of Glory The Apostles Paul and Silas revealed salvation comes by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and learning his holy words. Acts states believing in Jesus is tied to believing in G-d. Acts 16 Did faith save the jailer from harm or save his soul from damnation? Or both. Every generation until the coming of our Lord must forgive the Jews of the past for crucifying Jesus. We must remember Jesus was a Jew himself. And Jesus mission was focused on teaching Apostles the Word of Hashem. The Apostles were Jews. And their mission spread the word of Jesus what one must do to received by Hashem to other Jews like themselves and the gentiles of the world. If one fears Hashem and does what is right is welcomed by receiving Hashem's Holy Spirit and made ritually clean. This is baptism. It is right to give Jesus, Hashem's sacrificial lamb thanks and praise. It is right to believe that Hashem gives him the power to judge the living and the dead. It is right to believe that Jesus is our eternal priest to Our Father Hashem who has been given the power to forgive our sins. It is right to Fear Hashem the Creator and Destroyer over all. I believe that Jews and Christians know that Jesus is not Enoch. I believe that Jews and Christians know that Jesus is not Metatron. I believe that Jews and Christians know that Jesus did not teach about or mention Metatron. I believe that Christians know that Moses and the Prophets did not mention Metatron. I believe that Christians know that the bible does not mention Metatron. The Talmud mentions Metatron, but the Hebrew bible does not. Commonalities Jesus Christ and Metatron are considered the living word of Hashem. Jesus Christ and Metatron are glorified by God. Preference Jews believe that they are preferred by Hashem, because He made an exclusive covenant with the Israel. A Jewish baby has the potential to be resurrected if they fear Hashem and follow his words given to Moses. Christians believe that they are preferred by Our Father, because Jesus made a covenant with all mankind. A Christian baby has the potential to be resurrected if they fear Hashem and follow his words given to Jesus. Difference Metatron is an Ambassador to Hashem and uses Hashem's holy name when speaking to mortals. Jesus is Priest, Prophet, and King and uses his earthly name when speaking to mortals. Jesus Christ is not an Angel. Enoch became the angel Metatron Metatron is considered by Jews to be an angel. Metatron is not considered by Jews and Christians to be the Holy Spirit. Take a break and listen to "Jesus, King of Angels" by Fernando Ortega. I find it soothing when I have trouble falling asleep. Do all Jews believe Enoch is Metatron? I do not know at this point.

Do you believe in the Creator?

What is the motive?
