    The Difference, 101

    My apologies for the pace of this thread. I've not been home since December 24 and am presently unable to continue as I had hoped. The Name Lot, of course, means "wrap, cover, veil." He is a troubled pilgrim wrapped around a core of salt. The numbers of his Name are 436, 364, 301, 103, 94, 76...

    I'm still poking along on the road to recovery. The "man" knew his "wife," the mother of all (his) sentience; and they are one organism. Abraham is a titan of faith. He hears, believes, obeys: he has no doubt. Indeed, his faith is so strong that he is able to probe the mind and will of HaShem...

    As I understand it, the marine Major General Smedley Butler, in a book entitled "War Is A Racket," claims to have been approached by Prescott Bush with an invitation to join the anti-FDR conspiracy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smedley_Butler Rather than lend his influence to the "Buisness...

    Bernie supporters: He wins and the Democrats take back the Senate, then ...

    The NT makes it clear that the enemies of Mashiyach are in charge during this age. They've sneaked into congregations, in large part, because of misunderstanding of the verse, "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, and unto G_d what is G_d's." Many are convinced that Caesar/Big Government has...

    Advisors in Vietnam began in 1954, the year the McCaren act was passed (providing for mass incarceration of US citizens on US soil). The war became "official" under LBJ, after he lied to the American public about an attack on USS Pueblo in the Gulf of Tonkin. JFK focused like a laser on foreign...

    . . . the depth of fascism embedded in the government is made obvious. Or, some GOP nominee wins, with the same result. Grandpa Bush funded Hitler and tried to raise an army of 500,000 soldiers in this country to stage a coup. He was supposed to be tried for treason after the war. Instead, his...

    Thanks, pill. It's written that YHWH will magnify Torah and make it honorable. Torah comes alive with wonder when its Names are translated according to context; and it explodes in majesty when the number values of its Names are also studied. It's a spiritual masterpiece, an eternal reference...

    Salt is good, but if it's lost its savor, it's good for nothing but to be trodden under the foot of man. The parables of Tanach are subtle beyond my knowing, but the key to unlocking its layers of meaning rests in understanding its Names; for they provide significant context and focus to the...

    Thank you all. In recovery from severe illness, I just slept two hours for the first time in four days. Naturally, I'm looking both backwards and forwards in my own life with some intensity; and for the moment, I'm delighted to offer this preface: To the ancients, pillars signaled honor...

    Yeshua as God?

    These words are acknowledged to be inadequate. At best, they are as phases of the moon. May the true Light that shines upon us and is known by the warmth of its operations within each of us bless all who read these words, that my shortcomings should not impede the progress of any soul.

    How Should I Keep the Sabbath?

    Religions are the golden calves of their founders. Ideas need to be given bodies of words to be shared, and those bodies become clothed with communal understandings that, inevitably, coalesce into idealistic/idolatrous concepts and practices. I agree with Tumah: keep the Sabbath [whatever...

    How Should I Keep the Sabbath?

    The Kingdom-- and everything about it!!!-- is within you. To look elsewhere for an answer to this question is unfaithful, and also unlawful. Not answering the question directly, I would nevertheless offer this advice: make the acknowledgment of doubt a constant mantra throughout your daily...
