  • What they reveal

    It is my belief that a person's sentences reveal her/his thought processes and sometimes reveal the lack of thought process, as well. As conscious individuals we have the power to choose, and therefore edit, what we speak and write. If one is put on the spot, however, like a deer in the headlights, that ability to edit is paralyzed. I liken it to ...

  • Professional Journalism

    I know you are professional journalists. A profession is a fancy Latin term for the way you express your belief in the one true God as you understand him. Mr. Webster describes profession as the act of taking the vows of a religious community, or: an act of openly declaring or publicly claiming a belief or faith: an avowed religious faith a: a ...

  • What the dems need to be talking about

    Mr. McCain says the reason he is running negative and false ads is that he did not get the debates he wants and the trip to Iraq with Senator Obama that he wants. That puts him in the same group with 2 year olds. Do you want a two year old to be president? It also says this is the way he is going to be with congress if he does get elected. That ...

  • What Schultz does and how he does it

    MaryAnn: In this light, I believe Schultz more than succeeds in what he sets out to do. His text is fairly reserved with regard to formal devices, which gives him more freedom to play with ideas as such. Rabbit, I'm interested to know what you think Schulz set out to do in [''Yom Kippur'' -- acting as proofreader for just a moment]. What ...

  • Atonement in Hebrew Scripture

    Hi waltz! You asked me to take a look at what you've written about ''Yom Kippur''. As far as I've had time, I just have. Here is my response to this thread. It's directed toward the Fray as a whole and not specifically to you, but I hope you'll find what I say interesting and valuable. You are asked to believe in the spark of your divinity, ...

  • (שלום) "Friday OPP": Three new videos

    Greetings! Two of the following three videos, at least, haven't been announced here to date -- maybe none of them. Two are obviously biblical Hebrew ''poetry'', but so much of what is called ''prose'' is evidently ''elevated speech'' of another kind that a number of scholars are considering it ''poetic'' as well. The third example (in my ...

  • Where do Scientology go after they die?

    This question can only be answered through the Bible; John 316: ''For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believed in HIm will not PERISH but HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. John 14:6, JESUS said, I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME. Ephesians 2:8-9, 8For it is by grace you ...

  • Re: Thanks very much, Rabbit

    MaryAnn: With regard to your last post answering my question about reading the Bible literally, I want to be sure I understand you. Are you saying that the four seasons started in earnest after Adam + Eve left Paradise and had to start farming? MA It would seem so, but I may be overlooking something. It is difficult to project a description ...

  • Re: Request for the Rabbit

    MaryAnn: I'm looking forward to what you suggest, Rabbit (so far, all I've got is the Song of Songs), but here's another question I have -- about reading the Bible literally -- When I was doing some work with a Bible concordance, I noticed that in Genesis God creates the seasons. But later when he creates Adam and Eve, he lets them run around ...

  • The biblical festivals, seasons, and literature

    The biblical Festivals given in Leviticus 23 are closely linked to the harvest seasons in the Land of Israel. Passover and Unleavened Bread = early springPentecost (Shavo`ot) = late springTrumpets = end of agricultural year, late summer or early autumnAtonement, Feast of Tabernacles and Last Great Day (Sheminit Atseret or Eighth-Day Assembly) = ...
