  • Well, That's Good News for Dems and Catholics Both

    I did not need to read this article, to take immediate notice when 1) Gov. Casey's Son spoke at the Democratic Convention this year, in contrast to the first Bill Clinton Convention in 1992; and 2) Joe Biden was picked to join this 2008 Ticket with Obama. Both were welcome developments to me, and I have the sensitivities on these pro-Abort ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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 ...

  • Autumn in the Bible

    In the English Standard Version (ESV) there are just three verses that mention ''autumn''. Here they are. AUTUMN: (Proverbs 20:4 ESV) The sluggard does not plow in the autumn; he will seek at harvest and have nothing. (Jeremiah 5:24 ESV) They do not say in their hearts, 'Let us fear the LORD our God, who gives the rain in its season, the autumn ...

  • Summer in the Bible

    SUMMER (prose and poetry -- not an exhaustive list): (Genesis 8:22 ESV) While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease.'' (Psalms 32:4 ESV) For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah (Psalms 74:17 ESV) You have fixed all ...
