    Biblionics.

    . . . More peculiar still, is the fact that the word for death מת (mt), is also used in the Bible to speak of a man, particularly a husband. The peculiarity arises when we realize that the word for the dish used to mix the leaven from the last batch of dough into the new dough is called the...

    Biblionics.

    As the source of creation, and its end, Atum would be the Alpha and Omega. Ironically, תמ (tm), i.e., wholeness and perfection, is, if you merely reverse the letters מת (mt), the word for death. John

    Biblionics.

    John 6:53 implies that we're eating and drinking the Lord's death: One of the most pervasive metaphors for sex in talmudic literature associates it with food. . . Thus the Mishna at Ketubbot 5:9 reads that a wife has the right to eat with her husband every Friday night, and in both Talmuds...

    Biblionics.

    The prison is the perceive world. The protection of the state is acquiescence to the carnal renunciation of the inner desire to be personally and naturally free from pain, tears, death, and want, rather than serving the state for a morsel of that bread. At birth we're all, to quote Professor...

    Understanding the holy scriptures is impossible unless God gives you the interpretation

    And he has. The New Testament in the blood of Messiah is the means for revealing the scriptures that came prior to the blood-letting that lets us look into the scriptures that came first chronologically, but which are actually secondary theo-logically. So that now, the natural man who's born...

    Biblionics.

    Ebonics is a fitting example in the sense that when the English language is changed to Ebonics the transformation isn't strictly rational or logical but evocative. To understand Ebonics in a quasi-rational manner requires understanding the pathos that's the spirit of the transformation. For...

    Biblionics.

    Comparing biblical interpretation to understanding Ebonics is fundamental to correct isagogical exegesis of the scripture. Which is to say that proper exegesis of the original languages of scripture (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek), doesn't deliver up the spiritual message of the text through a merely...

    . . . Then would you be so kind as to read it and tell us all what it means? :) John

    Biblionics.

    Nowhere in the Bible is a knowledge of Biblionics more necessary than in the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation. Reading Revelation without a knowledge of Biblionics is likely more confusing, and more distorting, than readers in Victorian England trying to decipher the lyrics of...

    Biblionics.

    The quotation from Augustine is itself misleading in that it seems to imply that he had to give up his appreciation of dignified prose and accept the meaning of the Bible through humble submission to some kind of biblical system of belief that forgoes logic or reason in the name of blind faith...

    Biblionics.

    It seems to us a noteworthy peculiarity of the Hebrew language that it uses the same word in one and the same form to express the idea of `ceasing to exist’ and that of `completion’ (`wholeness’ or `perfection’) . . . [Such is] the term תמים (tamim). In most of the verbal forms, it designates a...

    Reverse Engineering Judaism.

    15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17...

    Richard Dawkins says he is a Cultural Christian

    So great has been the impact of Christianity on Western culture that there's a genuine historical sense in which the entire world now is culturally Christian. The most dominant cultural force of the last century has been the most rabidly Christian culture on the planet, the USA. What the eminent...

    Reverse Engineering Judaism.

    All of this lends itself to the premise that the strange new testament to the birth lineage of messiah (his matriarchal line going back to ha-adam, and his patriarchal line getting cut off, so to say, when Abraham cuts off the means for fathering sons the old fashioned way), justifies, in...

    Reverse Engineering Judaism.

    Ironically, Mother Nature justifies all this. As pointed out by biologists, all living organisms began as what we would today consider females: they were able to reproduce without the newfangled means afforded by Johnny-come-lately ----the biological male. Driving this point home, biologist...

    Reverse Engineering Judaism.

    When the Temple was destroyed, its cultic function was partially preserved by the human sexual activity when performed in purity. In fact the association between Temple and paradise as places for sexual bliss and procreation has already been suggested, on the basis of many other sources . . ...

    Reverse Engineering Judaism.

    Fair enough. This dialogue has dragged on a bit. So let me refresh your memory.:) Your post appeared to imply that the idea of God needing to renew or change a covenant he established is refuted by various scriptures that imply permanence rather than change. Your point is well-taken. And your...

    Richard Dawkins says he is a Cultural Christian

    I have, and have read, most of Dawkins' books. I've never heard him express anything like he does in this article. Nevertheless, knowing he's extremely thoughtful and intelligent, I always thought he might come this way. I wouldn't even be too surprised if he actually converted some day. One of...
