It would have been a miracle had Moses arrived with an i-Pad, no an idea of a god, boxed in by his creators and their technological restraints. His “children” are his creators, his limitations are the imaginations and fantasies, the illusions, fears and prejudices of wandering nomads, totally ignorant of the knowledge that is common to a ten year old in 2013. Don’t bother even to try and pass it on to the real “sinners”, the purveyors of intellectual rot, the ludicrous idea that god is misunderstood by poor translations and he can’t get good help to get his “message” universally understood, the “Ten Principles”. <br /><br />God had to deal with the sinners. No doubt, “dealing” involved ethnic cleansing, murder, theft and rape. All in the name of the Lord. <br /><br />All the killers throughout history, always march to the demands of a higher authority. I think I get it, it has a better name than torah, bible, it’s called bullshit, dangerous bullshit. Sacrifice and god dealing with his children has the whiff of homicide all over it. The idea that a human life should be wasted in the guilty, fearful, self-obsessed propitiate to supernatural nonentities and made up gods is the real tragedy.<br /><br />A news reader for creative minds.<br /><br />from deuceDeuce ☂https://www.blogger.com/profile/13472858446242700869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-37442351543666985422013-07-27T02:05:12.961-04:002013-07-27T02:05:12.961-04:00In Detroit they burn them down and try to collect ...In Detroit they burn them down and try to collect the insurance money.<br /><br />You might try this, Quirk, as an alternative source of income, now that you no longer have 'Souls'.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-745575267419484602013-07-27T02:00:32.985-04:002013-07-27T02:00:32.985-04:00Have always said these monster cities are an insan...Have always said these monster cities are an insane way to live.<br /><br />How does the bankruptcy filing affect LaDuff's Detroit vacant lot golf game?<br /><br />That's what I am desperate to know.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-3901226876260523072013-07-27T01:55:47.277-04:002013-07-27T01:55:47.277-04:00Why should this matter?

All the children of God feel rebellious at some point. But “principles” are difficult to ignore. They gnaw at you, they burrow into your mind and they activate insight and consciousness. It’s hard to ignore ten God-given “principles”. In the gulf between the Hebrew and the English, the French and the Spanish, and all modern languages, much suffering has occurred. It’s hard for the world to come back to the “Ten Commandments”. It’s easier, I think, to wrestle with the “Ten Principles”. <br /><br /><br />Travertine from Mount Sinai, the stone on which the commandments were inscribed.<br /><br />As an archaeological footnote, the Torah says that Moses inscribed the commandments on stone tablets. It doesn’t mention chisels or any other sculptor’s tool. In other words, the stone must have been soft. The Torah also says that there was a stream that flowed from the top of Mount Sinai – where the tablets were written – to the bottom (Deuteronomy 9:21). The Talmud says that the tablets were transparent and you could see the letters from both sides. My recent blog about the true Mount Sinai – Hashem el-Tarif in the Sinai desert – states that at the top of the mountain there are the traces of a now dry stream. The clue that there was once a stream there is “travertine”, a carbonate deposit left behind by rivulets of clear water. Travertine is transparent and soft. Put it up to the light, and you can see letters on both sides. You can scratch it with a hard rock and it’s only deposited by pure water. So there you have it! The “Ten Principles” must have been written on travertine. It is said that when the Messiah comes, the “Ten Principles” will be rediscovered. <br /><br /><br />Visit website <br /><br />Sent via feedly // A news reader for creative minds. <br /><br /><br /><br />from MatBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-41490806443864163912013-07-27T01:54:49.346-04:002013-07-27T01:54:49.346-04:00

Shout it from the rooftops. The Bible never mentions the “Ten Commandments”! <br /><br />It’s true. One can argue that this is the greatest mistranslation in history. Let me explain: the Torah i.e., the “Five Books of Moses”, has 613 commandments embedded in it. Over 50% of them involve the sacrificial ritual that used to be conducted first in the Israelite tabernacle in the desert and then in the Temple of Jerusalem (the First and Second Temples stood on the same site – Mount Zion – for approximately 1,000 years!) According to the Torah, 10 of the 613 commandments were inscribed on stone tablets by the finger of God. When the Israelites sinned, worshipping a golden calf at the foot of Mount Sinai, Moses broke the original God written commandments. <br /><br />After the sinners had been dealt with and God forgave the children of Israel, Moses created a new set of tablets, this time inscribed by him. According to Rabbinic tradition, both the broken and the new tablets were set in a special box – the Ark of the Covenant – which was the centerpiece of the Holy of Holies. The tablets and the Holy Ark (as in “Raiders of the Lost Ark”) disappeared from history when the First Temple of Jerusalem was destroyed (586 BCE). According to Jewish legends, the prophet Jeremiah hid the Ark and the tablets before the invading Babylonians managed to get into the Temple (II Maccabees 2:4-8). During the Second Temple period, the Ark was not in the Holy of Holies, by then it had literally disappeared from history. But what of the writings inscribed on it? <br /><br />Typically, the “Ten Commandments” are treated as the top 10 of the 613 commandments of the Torah. Even irreligious people will say “I’m not religious, but I believe in the Ten Commandments”. Most people remember; “Thou Shalt Not Murder” and “Thou Shalt Not Steal” but the other commandments, especially the one about the Sabbath, have been largely forgotten. Anyway, let’s return to the greatest mistranslation in history. <br /><br />In the original Hebrew, the Torah refers to what is normally rendered as the “Ten Commandments” as “Aseret haDibrot”, which literally translates as the “Ten Sayings”. Though they are commandments, they are never referred to as such. Why? Because it seems that the Torah wants to separate these Ten Commandments from the others, and mark them out as ten “principles” out of which the commandments flow. Meaning, the most proper translation of “Aseret haDibrot” is the “Ten Principles”. Cecil B. DeMille notwithstanding, all the translations of the Bible have it wrong. Some of them may footnote the fact that they are mistranslating, but the plain truth is that the only way to translate “Aseret haDibrot” is the “TEN PRINCIPLES”. <br /><br />Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-14015563783495838872013-07-27T01:38:50.227-04:002013-07-27T01:38:50.227-04:00.

Joblessness has kept many from buying houses, but that also suggests fewer are renting, too; many are couch surfing at a friend's or relative's, or living with their parents. Even as many aspects of the housing market improve, the recovery in household formation among millennials lags behind improvements we've witnessed in home prices and foreclosures.<br /><br />The share of 18 to 34-year-olds living with their parents rose from about 27.6% before the Great Recession in 2007 to above 31%, where it remains today, according to an analysis by Trulia, a real-estate website. Millennials have contributed to the sharp decline in household formation, which likely will take a while to return to normal.<br /><br />Up until 2008, about 1.1 million new U.S. households were formed each year, mostly due to population growth. That has declined dramatically; between the first quarter of 2008 to the first quarter of 2011, only 450,000 new households a year were created. Even as the economy improves, household formation hasn't -- only 521,000 households were created between the first quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013...</i><br /><br /><br />And a question for rat, true or not?<br /><br /><i>Given their living situation today, it's worth asking how investors could possibly rent all the homes they bought. It's a similar question Fusion IQ CEO Barry Ritholtz raised recently as firms big and small pour billions into Phoenix real estate: "How the hell can they be making money when there are so many empty houses cooking in the desert sun?"</i><br /><br /><br />http://finance.fortune.cnn.com/2013/07/26/the-rise-of-the-mooching-millennial/<br /><br />.Quirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00272168240606512672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-59637451666992364902013-07-27T01:29:08.319-04:002013-07-27T01:29:08.319-04:00,

Elisha was born in Avel Mehola, only about seven miles from Tel Rehov.<br /><br />The report said the research, which has been going on for more than a decade, uncovered a 3,000-year-old “well-planned” city.<br /><br />There, a unique structure was uncovered, with two wings “connected to one another through the back room and each one of the wings had an opening to the street,” Mazar said.<br /><br />Inside was a special room with a table and a bench. A pottery shard bore the name Elisha, CBN reported.<br /><br />The news organization said archaeologist Stephen Pfann suggested the possibility it was the prophet were reasonable.<br /><br />“With only six other people by the name of Elisha known in that time for a couple of centuries on either side, we can somehow believe that either there was just the luck that this holy man was also by the name of Elisha, or this was Elisha the prophet himself,” Pfann told CBN.<br /><br />The report said also found on site were two inscriptions mentioning the family of Nimshi.<br /><br />Pfann told CBN: “We remember that it was Elijah who was told to anoint Jehu, the son of Nimshi, to be the king. … And he passed that on to Elisha who sent out one of his disciples to finally do the anointing.”<br /><br />Cary Summers, head of Nazareth Village, said there will be doubters.<br /><br />“There is always the skeptic who says, ‘Show me the proof,’” Summers told CBN.<br /><br />He pointed to the tile with the name and the excavation itself as “one more proof for what we call the doubting world.”<br /><br /><br />Read more at http://www.wnd.com/2013/07/have-archaeologists-found-home-of-bibles-elisha/#bMbGlEA3BPi3Xyvt.99 Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-72285453263561252772013-07-26T21:48:30.356-04:002013-07-26T21:48:30.356-04:00Turkey clears bird of spying for Israel

Suspicious that the bird may have been on a spying mission for the Jewish state, villagers turned the bird over to local authorities, according to Turkish media.<br /><br />So great was the level of concern medical personnel at Elazig’s Firat University initially identified the kestrel as “Israeli Spy” in their registration documents. Intensive medical examinations - including X-rays - determined that the bird was, indeed, just a bird. There were no sign of microchips that might transmit information back to Israel, local media reported. The kestrel was allowed to fly off after authorities determined there was no need to press charges.<br /><br />Yet the incident shows the degree of paranoia and xenophobia regarding Israel that exists among large segments of Turkish society. It comes as talks between Turkey and Israel over compensation for families of those killed in the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident have stalled.<br /><br />Eight Turks and one Turkish-American were killed on May 31, 2010 when Israeli commandos stormed the Turkish vessel carrying aid to the embargoed Gaza Strip.<br /><br />Ties between the countries suffered until United States President Barack Obama brokered a reconciliation between the two sides during a visit to Israel earlier this year.<br />Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04145155737835511824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-76366583644476317622013-07-26T21:42:23.637-04:002013-07-26T21:42:23.637-04:00How many rubles, Doug?
