ellauri159.html on line 657: The word used to translate the Greek word agape in most modern English Bibles is love, but in many older translations, agape was translated as “charity” when it was used in a context of one person to another. In a biblical context, this term should not be mistaken for the more modern use of the word to mean only giving to those in need (i.e., “giving to charity”), although this can be a substantial part of what’s meant by the word. A more encompassing definition of the word charity, at least in the context of a modern-day knight, would be to be charitable (or giving) to the rich as well, or even primarily.

Don’t waste time in the beginning trying to craft a graceful expression on your face; your students know you. Let your ideas flow, then polish during intermission. Accept that teaching is a process, so you may not get immediate results. Don’t rush through the final stages; include facts that support personal stories or observations, or borrow stories from the Divine Teacher, the Bible is full of them.

ellauri164.html on line 483: Moses is one of the most prominent figures in the Old Testament. While Abraham is called the “Father of the Faithful” and the recipient of God’s unconditional covenant of grace to His people, Moses was the man chosen to bring redemption to His people. God specifically chose Moses to lead the Israelites from captivity in Egypt to salvation in the Promised Land. Moses is also recognized as the mediator of the Old Covenant and is commonly referred to as the giver of the Law. Finally, Moses is the principal author of the Pentateuch, the foundational books of the entire Bible. Moses’ role in the Old Testament is a type and shadow of the role Jesus plays in the New Testament. As such, his life is definitely worth examining.
ellauri164.html on line 495: The book of Deuteronomy shows Moses giving several sermon-type speeches to the people, reminding them of God’s saving power and faithfulness. He gives the second reading of the Law (Deuteronomy 5) and prepares this generation of Israelites to receive the promises of God. Moses himself is prohibited from entering the land because of his sin at Meribah (Numbers 20:10-13). At the end of the book of Deuteronomy, Moses’ death is recorded (Deuteronomy 34). He climbed Mount Nebo and is allowed to look upon the Promised Land. Moses was 120 years old when he died, and the Bible records that his “eye was undimmed and his vigor unabated” (Deuteronomy 34:7). The Lord Himself buried Moses (Deuteronomy 34:5–6), and Joshua took over as leader of the people (Deuteronomy 34:9). Deuteronomy 34:10–12 says, " Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, who did all those signs and wonders the Lord sent him to do in Egypt—to Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land. For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses did in the sight of all Israel."
ellauri164.html on line 500: Moses needed time to grow and mature and learn to be meek and eat humble pie before God, and this brings us to the next chapter in Moses’ life, his 40 years in the land of Midian. During this time, Moses learned the simple life of a shepherd, a husband, and a father. God took an impulsive and hot-tempered young man and began the process of molding and shaping him into the perfect instrument for God to use. What can we learn from this time in his life? If the first lesson is to wait on God’s timing, the second lesson is to not be idle while we wait on God’s timing. While the Bible doesn’t spend a lot of time on the details of this part of Moses’ life, it’s not as if Moses were sitting idly by waiting for God’s call. He spent the better part of 40 years learning the ways of a shepherd and supporting and raising a family. These are not trivial things! While we might long for the “mountain top” experiences with God, 99 percent of our lives is lived in the valley doing the mundane, day-to-day things that make up a life. We need to be living for God “in the valley” before He will enlist us into the battle. It is often in the seemingly trivial things of life that God trains and prepares us for His call in the next season.

ellauri164.html on line 645: God had used him to give the law to Israel and write the first five books of the Bible.

ellauri164.html on line 703: When a Bible author develops a pattern and then breaks it, we should pay attention because this signals that the author wants us to notice something important.
ellauri164.html on line 705: Based on the pattern established in Numbers, what do you expect will happen at Meribah when the people rebel against Moses? We expect the pattern to repeat and for God to decree punishment, but that doesn’t happen. The pattern breaks down! Instead of decreeing punishment for the people’s sin, God simply tells Moses to give the people water by speaking to the rock. This is a significant departure from the previous pattern. When a Bible author develops a pattern and then breaks it, we should pay attention because this signals that the author wants us to notice something important. Why didn’t God punish the people at Meribah? Why did he go at Moses instead?

ellauri164.html on line 804: It often happens that Bible believing Christians reject the concept of allegory as being a legitimate way of interpreting the Bible. This comes from the belief that any way of interpreting Scripture other than literal meaning is false, particularly as it concerns Genesis 3 and evolution. But in fact allegory is common in the Bible – Christ makes frequent use of it in His parables – and even Genesis 3 is allegory (which does not preclude its literal interpretation as well.) In this section we shall examine the allegorical significance of the staff and the rock.

ellauri164.html on line 867: There are few characters that play a larger part in the story of the Bible than Moses. He is the human protagonist of four Old Testament books and is consistently held up in both the OT and NT as a shining example of faith in the promises of God. The law that he delivered to the people of Israel serves as the foundation of the nation of Israel, and is lauded by Jesus as a testament that would not pass until “heaven and earth pass away…[and] all is accomplished.” One of the great tragic moments of the Bible is where Moses is denied entrance to the Promised Land for his sin at the Rock of Meribah; after faithfully leading Israel for forty years, Moses strikes a rock instead of speaking to it and is condemned to die before living in the Promised Land. On its surface, this might seem unfair to Moses. One mess-up and God gives him this great punishment? How many times had Israel failed in their journey and at Mt. Sinai, and God had spared their lives and allowed them to keep going? Yet His most faithful servant is barred over this one, seemingly insignificant event? If we take a closer look at the text, however, we see why Moses’ failure was such a stark one. While it doesn’t diminish the tragic nature of the event, it does shed light on why God takes such a drastic step to respond.
ellauri164.html on line 918: May the Lord help us not only to understand this truth about Moses’ sin alone, but also possess the true facts of the Bible in every aspect, which comes as a result of prayerful study of His Word, remains my wish and prayer. AMEN.

He was a successful painter of Paris society before moving to London in 1871. He became famous as a genre painter of fashionably dressed women shown in various scenes of everyday life. He also painted scenes and figures from the Bible.
ellauri171.html on line 398: The story continues the Bible’s exploration of the origin of evil in a world created by a God who is all goodness. (Remember the old word game: write down ‘God’ and ‘Devil’; then put an extra ‘o’ in the middle of ‘God’ and take the ‘d’ off ‘devil’; what do you have?)

ellauri171.html on line 480: We forgot to mention that Jezebel was the New Testament's N:o 2 whore after Magdalen. In Revelation 2 Jesus Christ rebukes the church of Thyatira saying, “You allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols”. Christ also says of this Jezebel, “I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. I will kill her children with death.” Battle of the sexes. In Handmaid's Tale, a Jezebel is a woman forced to become prostitute and entertainer. They are available only to the Commanders and to their guests. Offred portrays Jezebels as attractive and educated; they may be unsuitable as handmaids due to temperament. They have been sterilized, a surgery that is forbidden to other women. They operate in unofficial but state-sanctioned brothels, unknown to most women. Jezebels, whose title also comes from the Bible (note Queen Jezebel in the Books of Kings), dress in the remnants of sexualized costumes from "the time before", such as cheerleaders' costumes, school uniforms, and Playboy Bunny costumes. Jezebels can wear make-up, drink alcohol, and socialize with men, but are tightly controlled by the Aunts. When they pass their sexual prime and/or their looks fade, they are discarded, without any precision as to whether they are killed or sent to "the Colonies" (XII Jezebels).
ellauri171.html on line 519: The Bible story describes how Dinah went out to visit some women. She cannot have been alone when she left the pitched tents of her family and went into the city.
ellauri171.html on line 524: What happened to Dinah? "ithout giving any details of where she was or how it happened, the Bible simply says that Shechem, the son of the local ruler, took hold of her and and had sexual intercourse with her by force. There was seeing, desiring and taking just as there was with the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, where the pattern for sin had begun, tai vaikka jossain jäzkibaarissa.
ellauri171.html on line 526: But did Shechem take Dinah by force? There is much debate about this. Scholars argue that the words in the Bible text could mean something quite different: that Shechem had intercourse with her without following due procedure, without the correct formalities.
ellauri171.html on line 588: has she been there all the time? has the marriage already happened? What the fuck? The Bible leaves these questions unanswered.
ellauri171.html on line 595: It is over-retaliation, and it prompts the Bible’s command to limit retribution to ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’. Only retribution in kind may be taken if an injury has been suffered.
ellauri171.html on line 688: The first important lesson from this account is that the Bible indicates God did not approve of the horrible sins that occurred in the city of Gibeah. Judges 20:18, 23, 28, 35 repeatedly reveal that God directed the other tribes of Israel to action against a morally evil tribe. This reveals that the accusation of some that Scripture is silent about the evil that occurred is wrong. The reason the account is recorded is summarized at the end of Judges 21. There God reveals that He condemned the nation of Israel for its actions in Judges 19-21. Judges 21:25 says, “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.” It reveals what happens when men and women abandon God and try democracy.

She badgered the Israelite general into joining battle with the Canaanites, even though the enemy had more soldiers and better equipment. God sent a rainstorm that made the Canaanite chariots sitting ducks for the Israelite slingmen – and Deborah was hailed as a national heroine.

ellauri171.html on line 802: The Bible teaches Christians to be content with their lot in life. Paul the apostle wrote, “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6). It is virtuous of a Christian to remain undistracted by the riches of the world while being committed to Christ. For, “better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great treasure with trouble” (Proverbs 15:16).
ellauri171.html on line 804: The poverty of some is caused by unwise financial decisions or by refusing to work. The Bible says, “He who has a slack hand becomes poor” (Proverbs 10:4). Christians are always admonished to work and earn their keep. As the apostle Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, “We urge you, brethren, that you… work with your own hands… that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing” (1 Thessalonians 4:10-12). One who is lazy and will not work is not showing Christian behavior. God does not like a talent to get buried, it must be invested so as to yield compound interest. That is the proper way to fill the earth. The righteous will prosper and get a lot of sheep.
ellauri171.html on line 810: Though Christians may be poor in this world, it is God’s will to "eventually" eliminate poverty. The Bible speaks in much detail of a coming time of peace and prosperity on earth when poverty will be wiped out. It is called the millennium. God the Father has a plan to send His Son back to earth in great power and glory. “He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained” (Acts 17:31).
ellauri171.html on line 821: Ahabin dynastia omridit eli kuningas Omrin porukat oli jotain kananiittejä. Israel Finkelstein's The Bible Unearthed presents a very different picture of the Omrides than the circumcision handbook, making them responsible for the great empire, magnificent palaces, wealth, and peace in Israel and Judah that the Bible credits to the much earlier kings David and Solomon. According to Finkelstein, the reason for this discrepancy is the religious bias of the Biblical authors against the Omrides for their polytheism, and in particular their support for elements of the Canaanite religion.
ellauri171.html on line 837: Asherah, queen consort of El (Ugaritic religion), Elkunirsa (Hittite religion), Yahweh (Israelite religion), Amurru (Amorite religion), Anu (Akkadian religion) and 'Amm (Religion in pre-Islamic Arabia) Symbolized by an Asherah pole in the Hebrew Bible.
ellauri171.html on line 967: In Canaanite mythology there were twin mountains Targhizizi and Tharumagi which hold the firmament up above the earth-circling ocean, thereby bounding the earth. W. F. Albright, for example, says that El Shaddai is a derivation of a Semitic stem that appears in the Akkadian shadû ("mountain") and shaddā'û or shaddû'a ("mountain-dweller"), one of the names of Amurru. Philo of Byblos states that Atlas was one of the Elohim, which would clearly fit into the story of El Shaddai as "God of the Mountain(s)". Harriet Lutzky has presented evidence that Shaddai was an attribute of a Semitic goddess, linking the epithet with Hebrew šad "breast" as "the one of the Breast". The idea of two mountains being associated here as the breasts of the Earth, fits into the Canaanite mythology quite well. The ideas of pairs of mountains seem to be quite common in Canaanite mythology (similar to Horeb and Sinai in the Bible). The late period of this cosmology makes it difficult to tell what influences (Roman, Greek, or Hebrew) may have informed Philo's writings.
ellauri171.html on line 977: Canaanite deities such as Baal were represented by figures which were placed in shrines, often on hilltops, or 'high places' surrounded by groves of trees, such as is condemned in the Hebrew Bible, in Hosea (v 13a) which would probably hold the Asherah pole, and standing stones or pillars.
ellauri171.html on line 991: When Jezebel comes to Israel, she brings her own gods and goddesses—especially Baal and his consort Asherah (Canaanite Astarte, often translated in the Bible as “sacred post”)—with her.
ellauri171.html on line 1003: But the appearance of Jezebel in the bible includes no mention of her sexuality. In the Hebrew Bible, Jezebel appears in the books of first and second Kings as the wife of King Ahab— the marriage being a political alliance between Israel and Sidon (a coastal city to the north) where Jezebel was the princess. Jezebel brings her religion to Israel with her, and the worship of Baal is blasphemy in the eyes of the biblical writers. According to the text, Jezebel begins killing Israel’s prophets. Because of this, Elijah challenges the prophets of Baal to a showdown with Israel’s deity. The Baal worshipers fail to summon their deity, so Elijah calls upon Yahweh and fire descends from heaven and consumes the altar. Having won, Elijah then slaughters all of the prophets of Baal. Jezebel threatens to kill Elijah by the same time the next day, and, ironically, Elijah retreats.
ellauri171.html on line 1010: It is worth noting that nowhere in the text is Jezebel characterized as promiscuous or seductive. The text makes no mention of her physical appearance. Unlike characters such as Rachel, Joseph, and Rebekah, whom the Bible explicitly labels as aesthetically appealing, there is no such indication for Jezebel. In fact, if anything, the text indicates that Jezebel is an all-too-loyal wife —even capable of murder. She is not an admirable character by any means, however, it is critical to highlight that nothing about her modern connotation is exemplified in text.
ellauri171.html on line 1029: Jezebel is characterized as totally evil in the biblical text and beyond it: in the New Testament her name is a generic catchword for a whoring, non-believing female adversary (Revelations 2:20); in Judeo-Christian traditions, she is evil. The Bible is careful not to refer to her as queen. And yet, this is precisely what she seems to have been. Some early Jewish, albeit post-biblical, sources deconstruct the general picture: “Four women exercised government in the world: Jezebel and Athaliah from Israel, Semiramis and Vashti from the [gentile] nations” (in a Jewish Midrash for the Book of Esther, Esther Rabbah)
ellauri171.html on line 1031: Clearly, Jezebel acted as queen even though the Bible itself refuses her the title and its attendant respect, not to mention approval. In the biblical text, Jezebel is contrasted with and juxtaposed to the prophet Elijah, to the extent that they both form the two panels of a mirrored dyptich. She is a Baal supporter, he is a God supporter; she is a woman, he is a man; she is a foreigner, he is a native; she has monarchic power, he has prophetic power; she threatens, he flees; finally he wins, she is liquidated. The real conflict is not between Ahab (the king) and Elijah, but between Jezebel (the queen in actuality, if not in title) and Elijah. Ultimately the forces of God win; Jezebel loses. It remains to be understood why she gets such bad press.
ellauri171.html on line 1037: Israel’s most accursed queen carefully fixes a pink rose in her red locks in John Byam Liston Shaw’s “Jezebel” from 1896. Jezebel’s reputation as the most dangerous seductress in the Bible stems from her final appearance: her husband King Ahab is dead; her son has been murdered by Jehu. As Jehu’s chariot races toward the palace to kill Jezebel, she “painted her eyes with kohl and dressed her hair, and she looked out of the window” (2 Kings 9:30).
ellauri171.html on line 1039: For more than two thousand years, Jezebel has been saddled with a reputation as the bad girl of the Bible, the wickedest of women. This ancient queen has been denounced as a murderer, prostitute and enemy of God, and her name has been adopted for lingerie lines and World War II missiles alike. But just how depraved was Jezebel?
ellauri171.html on line 1040: In recent years, scholars have tried to reclaim the shadowy female figures whose tales are often only partially told in the Bible. Rehabilitating Jezebel’s stained reputation is an arduous task, however, for she is a difficult woman to like. She is not a heroic fighter like Deborah, a devoted sister like Miriam or a cherished wife like Ruth. Jezebel cannot even be compared with the Bible’s other bad girls—Potiphar’s wife and Delilah—for no good comes from Jezebel’s deeds. These other women may be bad, but Jezebel is the worst.
ellauri171.html on line 1044: Why would parents name their child Jezebel? Because it’s a pretty name. Just because someone has the same name as someone in the Bible does not mean this is where the inspiration for their name came from. Reality check: not every person is religious.

Jack Miles, writing for Commonweal, found the book "a quiet, sweet, almost wan little book, a kindly offering from a New York Jew to his wife's Bible Belt family." He noted that there was "something undeniably impressive about the restraint" of the style that Mailer undertook in composing the novel. He concluded that the novel was neither one of Mailer's best works, nor would it stand out amongst the bibliography of books inspired by the life of Christ, but that it had received unfairly harsh reviews from other critics.

ellauri184.html on line 257: The Bible records that following the completion of the conquest of Canaan by the Israelite tribes, Joshua allocated the land among the twelve tribes. According to biblical scholar Kenneth Kitchen, this conquest should be dated slightly after 1200 BCE. Some modern scholars argue that the conquest of Joshua, as described in the Book of Joshua, never occurred. “Besides the rejection of the Albrightian conquest model, the general consensus among OT scholars is that the Book of Joshua has no value in the historical reconstruction. They see the book as an ideological retrojection from a later period — either as early as the reign of Josiah or as late as the Hasmonean period.” "It behooves us to ask, in spite of the fact that the overwhelming consensus of modern scholarship is that Joshua is a pious fiction composed by the deuteronomistic school, how does and how has the Jewish community dealt with these foundational narratives, saturated as they are with acts of violence against others?" ”Recent decades, for example, have seen a remarkable reevaluation of evidence concerning the conquest of the land of Canaan by Joshua. As more sites have been excavated, there has been a growing consensus that the main story of Joshua, that of a speedy and complete conquest (e.g. Josh. 11.23: 'Thus Joshua conquered the whole country, just as the LORD had promised Moses') is contradicted by the archaeological record, though there are indications of some destruction at the appropriate time. No oliko sitten koko esinahkakasa satua? Ketä enää uskoa? Usko siirtää vuoria, eikö sitten esinahkakukkuloita?
ellauri184.html on line 348: In Matthew 9:1 the town is referred to only as "his own city", and the narrative in Matthew 9:2–7 does not mention the paralytic being lowered through the roof. Most traditional biblical commentators (e.g. Bengel, Benson and the Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary) assume that in Matthew 9:1–7 "his own city" means Capernaum, because of the details that are common to the three synoptic gospels.
ellauri184.html on line 357: Second, the fact that it is a theological issue does not prevent it from being a moral one as well. The behavior is sin. “Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not deceived. Neither formicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Cor. 6:9-10 ). The word translated “homosexuals” here strictly refers to catamites — the word has the connotation of soft. We would say swish. The other word sodomite refers to the “male” homosexual, the one playing the role of the male. All the ingenuity in the world cannot change what the Bible bluntly states here. As well, consider 1 Tim. 1:10 . “. . . for fornicators, for sodomites . . . and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine.” The Old Testament speaks to this as well. See Deut. 23:17-18 , Job 36:14 , Lev. 18:22 . Those guilty of such things are living in a contemptible way, and the Scripture calls them dogs. Poor dogs.
ellauri184.html on line 520: The Jewish and Islamic traditions both see circumcision as a way to distinguish a group from its neighbours. The Bible records "uncircumcised" being used as a derogatory reference for opponents[1Sam 17:26] and Jewish victory in battle that culminated in mass post-mortem circumcision, to provide an account of the number of enemy casualties.[1Sam 18:27] Just count he prepuces, or measure the size of the foreskin hillock. Jews were also required to circumcise all household members, including slaves[Gen 17:12-14] – a practice that would later put them into collision with Roman and Christian law (see below).
ellauri184.html on line 682: The custom of releasing prisoners in Jerusalem at Passover is known to theologians as the Paschal Pardon, but this custom (whether at Passover or any other time) is not recorded in any historical document other than the gospels, leading some scholars to question its historicity and suspect that such a custom was a mere narrative invention of the Bible´s writers like so much else in the fake good news.
ellauri184.html on line 742: There is no contextual proof within Scripture itself that would point to Jesus broadening Mary’s role as “mother” of all Christians. In fact, Catholic teaching can only point to early church leaders as proof that Jesus meant to establish Mary’s “motherhood” to all believers in Christ or that Mary was a cooperative participant in salvation. John just took Mary into his home to care for her. The Bible does not say “from that time on Mary became the stepmother of all believers.”

Eli, the priest of Shiloh, where the Ark of the Covenant is provisionally located, blesses her. A child named Samuel is born, and Samuel is dedicated to the Lord as a Nazirite—the only one besides Samson to be identified in the Bible. Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, sin against God's laws and the people, a sin that causes them to die in the Battle of Aphek. But the child Samuel grows up "in the presence of the Lord."
ellauri185.html on line 62: The Book of Samuel (Hebrew: ספר שמואל, Sefer Shmuel) is a book in the Hebrew Bible and two books (1 Samuel and 2 Samuel) in the Christian Old Testament. The book is part of the narrative history of Ancient Israel called the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books (Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings) that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
ellauri185.html on line 75: Tyre is listed among an alliance of ten nations that would conspire against God's people. Many Bible commentaries agree that this has not occurred yet historically and may be prophetic.
ellauri185.html on line 95: What about the destruction of Tyre? Well, Nebuchadnezzer’s attack came shortly after Ezekiel, so it’s hard to tell for sure from our perspective whether or not Ezekiel truly prophesied that phase of Tyre’s destruction. But as far as Alexander is concerned, it is well established that this took place in 322 BC. So this is a clear example of the Bible foretelling an event (actually several) in detail.

And most of all for being wickedly funny! Just read The Bible! And watch my films!
ellauri194.html on line 286: In the early 19th century, some Hasidic rabbis identified the French invasion of Russia under Napoleon as "The War of Gog and Magog". But as the century progressed, apocalyptic expectations receded as the populace in Europe began to adopt an increasingly secular worldview. This has not been the case in the United States, where a 2002 poll indicated that 59% of Americans believed the events predicted in the Book of Revelation would come to pass. During the Cold War the idea that Soviet Russia had the role of Gog gained popularity, since Ezekiel's words describing him as "prince of Meshek" – rosh meshek in Hebrew – sounded suspiciously like Russia and Moscow. Even some Russians took up the idea, apparently unconcerned by the implications ("Ancestors were found in the Bible, and that was enough"), as did Ronald Reagan.
ellauri196.html on line 729: According to the Bible, Ezekiel and his wife lived during the Babylonian captivity on the banks of the Chebar River, in Tel Aviv, with other exiles from Judah. There is no mention of him having any offspring. Josephus claims that Nebuchadnezzar of Babylonia's armies exiled three thousand Jews from Judah, after deposing King Jehoiakim in 598 BCE.

ellauri198.html on line 633: Tophet or Topheth (Hebrew: תֹּוֹפֶת Tōp̄eṯ; Greek: Ταφέθ (taphéth); Latin: Topheth) is a location in Jerusalem in the Valley of Hinnom (Gehenna), where worshipers engaged in a ritual involving "passing a child through the fire", most likely child sacrifice. Traditionally, the sacrifices have been ascribed to a god named Moloch. The Bible condemns and forbids these sacrifices, and the tophet is eventually destroyed by king Josiah, although mentions by the prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Isaiah suggest that the practices associated with the tophet may have persisted.
ellauri198.html on line 635: Most scholars agree that the ritual performed at the tophet was child sacrifice, and they connect it to similar episodes throughout the Bible and recorded in Phoenicia (whose inhabitants were referred to as Canaanites in the Bible) and Carthage by Hellenistic sources. There is disagreement about whether the sacrifices were offered to a god named "Moloch". Based on Phoenician and Carthaginian inscriptions, a growing number of scholars believe that the word moloch refers to the type of sacrifice rather than a deity. There is currently a dispute as to whether these sacrifices were dedicated to Yahweh rather than a foreign deity.
ellauri203.html on line 139: One of Dostoevsky’s early memories is a daily prayer with his nanny before going to bed with her, when he was thirteen years of age. “I put all my eggs in Thine basket, Mother of God, keep them in Thy care”. This prayer Dostoevsky loved so much that it became part of the prayers which he read to children at bed time. Also from his early years Dostoevsky listened to Bible stories. Remembering those years, Fyodor Mikhailovich wrote in 1873, “In our family we knew the Gospel almost from earliest childhood.”

Eric thought the Bible way was way better in all respects. But he was a Jew, so surprise surprise.

Lucas describes R2-D2 as the MacGuffin of the original Star Wars film,and said that the Ark of the Covenant in the Bible, or the titular MacGuffin in Raiders of the Lost Ark, was an excellent example as opposed to the more obscure MacGuffin in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and "feeble" MacGuffin in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

ellauri222.html on line 255: Bellow was born Solomon Bellow in Lachine, Quebec, in 1915, two years after his parents had arrived there from St Petersburg. When he was nine, the family moved to the Humboldt Park neighbourhood of Chicago. His mother, Liza, died when Saul was 17, but not before she had passed on to him her love of the Jewish Bible (he learned Hebrew at four). His first serious critical success was The Adventures of Augie March (1953), but it was not until his 1964 novel, Herzog, became a bestseller that he earned any real money. His elder brothers, both businessmen, were by this time making serious cash, and regarded him, he once said, as "some schmuck with a pen". Mary Cheever, the wife of John Cheever, believed the two got on so well because "they were both women-haters". He has nothing good to say about feminism. Bellow has a go at Hannah Arendt and Mary McCarthy (the one is "rash", the other "stupid"). In 1994, however, he ate a poisonous fish in the Caribbean, and fell into a coma that lasted five weeks. He dreaded a loss of virility.

According to the Bible, the First Temple's destruction began on the 7th of Av (2 Kings 25:8) and continued until the 10th (Jeremiah 52:12). According to the Talmud, the actual destruction of the Temple began on the Ninth of Av, and it continued to burn throughout the Tenth of Av.
ellauri263.html on line 449: Hebron is considered one of the oldest cities in the Levant. According to the Bible, Abraham settled in Hebron and bought the Cave of the Patriarchs as a burial place for his wife Sarah. Biblical tradition holds that the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, along with their wives Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah, were buried in the cave. Hebron is also recognized in the Bible as the place where David was anointed king of Israel. Following the Babylonian captivity, the Edomites settled in Hebron. During the first century BCE, Herod the Great built the wall which still surrounds the Cave of the Patriarchs, which later became a church, and then a mosque. With the exception of a brief Crusader control, successive Muslim dynasties ruled Hebron from the 6th century CE until the Ottoman Empire's dissolution following World War I, when the city became part of British Mandatory Palestine. A massacre in 1929 and the Arab uprising of 1936–39 led to the emigration of the Jewish community from Hebron. The 1948 Arab–Israeli War saw the entire West Bank, including Hebron, occupied and annexed by Jordan, and since the 1967 Six-Day War, the city has been under Israeli military occupation. Following Israeli occupation, Jewish presence was reestablished at the city. Since the 1997 Hebron Protocol, most of Hebron has been governed by the Palestinian National Authority.

The top 10 most challenged books for 2015 includes an entry that may seem unlikely for the United States, which is home to more Christians than any other country in the world. According to the American Library Association's latest "State of America's Libraries" report, The Holy Bible was ranked as the sixth most challenged book in America because of its "religious viewpoint."
ellauri272.html on line 338: James LaRue, OIF's director, told The Huffington Post that the Bible pops up regularly on the organization's annual challenged books list, but that it has never before breached the top 10. Secular activists want to point out there is a double standard in the Bible, as the Bible is a book filled with morally questionable actions.

ellauri299.html on line 534: Labor market polarization has been the most severe in liberal market economies like the US, Britain, and Australia. Countries like Denmark and France have been subject to the same economic pressures, but due to their more "inclusive" (or "egalitarian") labor market institutions, such as centralized and solidaristic collective bargaining and strong minimum wage laws, they have experienced less polarization. Cross-national studies have found that European countries´ working poverty rates are much lower than the US´s. Most of this difference can be explained by the fact that European countries´ welfare states are more generous. Grisham's folks gave offerings to the church because the Bible strongly suggested it.

ellauri309.html on line 511: Vuonna 1936 Graham jätti isänsä maitotilan ja lähti opiskelemaan Bob Jonesin Collegeen, joka sijaitsi tuolloin Tennesseen Clevelandissa. Opinnot Bob Jonesin Collegessa jäivät kuitenkin yhden lukukauden mittaiseksi oppilaitoksen äärimmäisen fundamentalismin vuoksi. Graham siirtyi opiskelemaan Floridan raamattuinstituuttiin Tampan läheisyyteen. Graham valmistui vuonna 1940 ja hänet asetettiin Eteläisen baptistikonvention pastorin tehtävään. Graham ilmoittautui jatkokoulutukseen Illinoisissa sijaitsevaan Wheaton Collegeen ja tapasi Wheatonissa tulevan vaimonsa, Ruth Bellin. She had been conceived in China in missionary position, unlike a horse. Graham talked his future wife, Ruth, into abandoning her ambition to evangelize in Tibet in favor of staying in the United States to marry him – and that to do otherwise would be "to thwart God's obvious will". After Ruth agreed to marry him, Graham cited the Bible for claiming authority over her, saying, "then I'll do the leading and you do the following".
ellauri309.html on line 523: Valmistuessaan Wheatonista vuonna 1943 Graham oli kehittänyt kuuluisan sormea heristävän saarnatyylinsä. Graham viesti yksinkertaisesti ja suorasti synnistä ja pelastuksesta, jonka hän välitti tarmokkaasti ja ilman alentuvuutta tyhmille. Graham toimi lyhyen aikaa Western Springsin baptistikirkon pastorina, jonka jälkeen hän ryhtyi kiertäväksi evankelistaksi. Graham liittyi uuden Youth for Christ-järjestön henkilöstöön vuonna 1945 ja toimi vuodesta 1947 Northwestern Bible Collegen johtajana. Grahamin toiminnan keskiössä olivat suuret, kirkkokuntarajat ylittävät, kokoukset, joita kutsutaan nimellä missio tai ristiretki. Niistä saadut palkkiot oli selkeästi parhaimmat. Vuonna 1992 Graham kutsuttiin jopa maailman sulkeutuneimmaksi valtioksi arvioituun Pohjois-Koreaan. Vierailun aikana Billy luonnehti maan johtajaa Kim Il Sungia "Jumalaksi" ja nykyistä pulleaa johtajaa Kim Jong Unia "Jumalan pojaxi". Kim was "a different kind of communist." Graham's early crusades were segregated, but he began adjusting his approach in the 1950s.

Kaupungin alueen alkuperäisasukkaita olivat osaget ja itse kaupungin perustivat kotiseuduiltaan pakkosiirretyt creekit vuonna 1836. Sittemmin kaupunki kasvoi nopeasti maaöljyn löytymisen jälkeen 1900-luvun alussa. Osaget joutuivat luopumaan maistaan Tulsassa vuonna 1826 ja Yhdysvallat alkoi asuttaa paikalle alkuperäisiltä kotiseuduiltaan karkotettuja creekejä ja cherokeeita. Mukana oli myös intiaanien omistamia afroamerikkalaisia orjia. Tulsan rotumellakat vuonna 1921 kuuluvat Yhdysvaltojen historian väkivaltaisimpiin. Kaupungin asukkaista 64 % oli taustaltaan valkoisia (latinot pois lukien 54,9 %), 15,1 % afroamerikkalaisia, 4,3 % intiaaneja, 15,8 % latinoja mistä tahansa rodusta ja 3,3 % aasialaisia. 17,6 % kaupungin asukkaista puhui kotonaan jotakin muuta kieltä kuin englantia ja 10,9 % kaupungin asukkaista oli syntynyt ulkomailla.

ellauri360.html on line 474: Two men stand at the center of Pentecostal origins as typically told. An ex-Methodist minister, Charles Parham, drew inspiration from several sources before he eventually laid hands upon Agnes Ozman. She spoke in tongues, and Parham believed that she spoke the Chinese language. Others received the Spirit and also spoke in tongues. Parham’s language was thought to be Swedish. LOL. Parham believed that these actual languages were miraculously spoken (xenolalia) and would to lead to international missionary ventures. William Seymour, though segregated from the white learners, listened to a three-month Bible school that Parham led in Houston, Texas. Soon after, Seymour became pastor at an African American Holiness Church in Los Angeles. They rejected his teaching concerning tongues, but some witnessed Seymour lay hands on his host, Edward Lee. Lee experienced an almost unconscious state that was followed by tongue speaking. At the same meeting, seven more received the baptism of the Spirit accompanied by tongues, including Seymour himself. Soon Lee’s home could not hold the racially mixed group that came to see and receive Pentecost. The Azusa Revivals follow.
ellauri360.html on line 480: It is easy to understand scholars slightly overemphasizing when they claim that the global expansion is actually the Pentecostal expansion. Missionaries are frequently criticized as serving both Christ and commerce. They are pictured as agents of colonial expansion and unable to distinguish between the gospel message and their own cultural preferences. Kenyan Jomo Kenyatta famously captures this critical perspective: “When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said ‘Let us pray.’ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.”
ellauri360.html on line 490: A common illustration is found among Africans who discovered that the great patriarchs were polygamists and cattle sodomists and wondered why the missionaries were so adamant about monogamy and the missionary position. There is something for everybody in the Bible. The West typically reads the didactic and missionary letters of Paul as a key to reading the remainder of the Bible. Africans like Leviticus and squeaky indians go for proverbs. It is frequently noted that, for Pentecostals, the New Testament, with its tongue speaking, healings, demonic encounters, and spiritual warfare, is not strange but the blueprint for how the Christian life is to be lived.

ellauri370.html on line 50: If you've ever read the Bible and thought, "This is cool, but it could really use some disturbing Game of Thrones action," the story of Queen Esther is for you. Here's an abridged version: when the current queen angers the king, he chucks her and picks a new wife from a selection of hot young women. Esther is the lucky girl, but she hides the fact she's Jewish. When her cousin Mordecai angers Haman—the big bad of the story—Haman decides her's going kill every Jew in revenge. So Esther throws a huge banquet where she reveals she's Jewish and Haman wants her (and her people) dead. The king gets super pissed, the Jews defend themselves against extermination, Haman ends up dead, and we get Purim and triangle-shaped cookies. Read more here.
ellauri370.html on line 62: The Bible makes a point of saying whenever someone is attractive. Esther's called "very beautiful" and was said to have a "lovely figure," so you know she's really rocking it. But her beauty may also have been a superpower. For The Jewish Encyclopedia states the other girls, instead of being jealous, take care of her because they clearly see the king will choose her. That's beauty as a superpower!
ellauri370.html on line 78: Some scholars point out that collective punishment, particularly punishment of descendants for transgressions committed by ancestors, is common in the Hebrew Bible—a view based primarily on repeated descriptions (with slightly varied wording) of God as "a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation … but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments."
ellauri370.html on line 84: Amalek (/ˈæməlɛk/ Biblical Hebrew: עֲמָלֵק, romanized: ʿĂmālēq; Arabic: عماليق, romanized: ʿAmālīq) is described in the Hebrew Bible as the enemy nation of the Israelites. The name "Amalek" can refer to the descendants of Amalek, the grandson of Esau, or anyone who lived in their territories in Canaan. In some rabbinical interpretations, Amalek is etymologised as am lak, 'a people who lick (blood)', but most scholars regard this as xenophobic bullshit.
ellauri370.html on line 88: According to the Hebrew Bible, Amalek was the son of Eliphaz (himself the son of Esau, ancestor of the Edomites and the brother of Israel) and Eliphaz's concubine Timna. Timna was a Whorite and sister of Lotan. According to a midrash, Timna was a princess who tried to convert to Judaism. However, she was rejected by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. She replied she would rather be a handmaiden to the dregs of Israel than be a mistress of another gentile nation. To punish the Patriarchs for their attitudes, Timna birthed Amalek, whose descendants would cause Israel much distress. This Amalek was also the product of an incestuous union since Eliphaz was Timna's stepfather, according to 1 Chronicles 1:36, after he committed adultery with the wife of Seir the Horite, who was Timna's biological father. First-century Roman-Jewish scholar and historian Flavius Josephus refers to Amalek as a "bastard" (νόθος) in a derogatory sense. 'Amalek' oli vähän kuin 'Vanja' suomalaisille.
ellauri370.html on line 90: As a people, the Amalekites are identified throughout the Hebrew Bible as a recurrent enemy of the Israelites: In Exodus 17:8–16, during the Exodus from Egypt, the Amalekites ambush the Israelites encamped at Rephidim, but are defeated. Moses orders Joshua to lead the Israelites into battle, while Moses, Aaron and Ben Hur watch from a nearby hill. When Moses' hands holding his staff are raised, the Israelites prevail, but when his hands are lowered, the Israelites falter. He sits with his hands held up by Aaron and Ben Hur until sunset, securing the Israelite victory.

But in fact, "fornication" (πορνεία) may be taken as including it (Matthew 5:32), though it may also stand at its side as a distinct species of unchastity. "uncleanness" covers a wider range of sensual sin ("all uncleanness," Ephesians 4:19); solitary impurity, whether in thought or deed; unnatural lust (Romans 1:24), though it can hardly be taken as meaning this lust alone. "Lasciviousness," or "wantonness," is scarcely an adequate rendering of ἀσέλγεια in this connection; it appears to point to reckless shamelessness in unclean indulgences. In classical Greek the adjective ἀσέλγης describes a man insolently and wantonly reckless in his treatment of others; but in the New Testament it generally appears to point more specifically to unabashed open indulgence in impurity. The noun is connected with "uncleanness" and "fornication' 'in 2 Corinthians 12:21; with "uncleanness' ' in Ephesians 4:19; is used of the men of Sodom in 2 Peter 2:7; comp. also 2 Peter 2:18; l Peter 4:3; Jude 1:4 (cf. 7). Only in Mark 7:22 can it from the grouping be naturally taken in its classical sense.

ellauri384.html on line 222: The concepts of “Heaven” and “Hell” are not only difficult for any rational person to believe, but they are not even well-defined. Even within the belief system of Christianity, there are multiple descriptions of Heaven and Hell. Some subsets of Christendom don’t believe in hell. Those who read the Bible closely insist that “Hell” is only for traitorous angels. Everybody has a different idea of who is “definitely” going to be sent to one place or another.
ellauri391.html on line 166: Instead, God is revealed to be a poet and his poem is nothing other than the creation, an invention of God's speech.

The Bible also records supernatural events when people encountered God and describes lightning coming from the top of Mount Sinai in Exodus 20:18 when the 10 Commandments were given, Jewish soldiers and temple police falling down in the Garden of Gethsemane when encountering Jesus in John 18:6, Moses' face shining when descending Mount Sinai in Exodus 34:35, and a cloud of glory that appeared over the Hebrew tent of meeting in Exodus 40:34. Proponents of the Toronto Blessing point to these biblical examples as partial evidence of the activities in their meetings being legitimate.

ellauri398.html on line 1257: In this study, we will find the following prophecies in your Bible:
ellauri398.html on line 1259:
ellauri398.html on line 1260:
ellauri408.html on line 271: If the Bible isn't from God, why are the prophecies of the Bible fulfilled?
ellauri408.html on line 276: The Bible is full of false prophecies that can never be fulfilled. As I will explain immediately after this intro, a biblical prophet, Ezekiel, even admitted a failed prophecy, then immediately issued another prophecy, which also failed miserably!
ellauri408.html on line 277: So much for the Bible being “inerrant” and “infallible.” As we will see, the book of Acts turned the Angels into false prophets, with a cartoonish prophecy. As we also will see, Jehovah’s first prophecy, in the opening chapters of Genesis, proved to be false. The Bible even turned Jesus into a false prophet, multiple times, when devious authors of the New Testament put false and foolish words in his mouth. Here’s a quick example with more to follow:
ellauri408.html on line 293: As a matter of fact, Jesus’s first words in the oldest gospel, Mark, and thus Jesus’s first words recorded in the Bible, were a false prophecy:
ellauri408.html on line 302: The Bible warns its readers sternly about false prophets, but some of falsest of the false ended up with their lies enshrined in the Bible. For instance…
ellauri408.html on line 306: The Bible has “prophecies” that can never come true, such as the ones about Nebuchadnezzar sacking tanwall Tyre and Egypt, which never happened and never can happen because Nebuchadnezzar is long gone. The prophet in question, Ezekiel, even admitted his mistake about Tyre, then immediately issued a second false prophecy about Egypt!
ellauri408.html on line 310: Very impressive, except that Nebuchadnezzar did not sack or destroy Tyre, and the Bible itself makes this a false prophecy three times! The Bible says Jesus visited Tyre, where he healed the Canaanite (Syrophoenician) woman's daughter. (Matthew 15:21-28; Mark 7:24-31)
ellauri408.html on line 311: The Bible says the evangelist Paul also visited Tyre, where he met with his disciples and stayed with them for seven days. (Acts 21: 3-6) As a matter of fact, Tyre exists to this day.
ellauri408.html on line 329: The most glaring archeological error in the Bible makes Jesus a false prophet. According to Mark 13:1-2, Jesus prophesied that not one stone of the Jerusalem temple buildings would be left standing on another stone. This false prophecy was surely added by a charlatan writing in Greece or Rome sometime after 70 AD, who had never been to Jerusalem. While the Romans largely destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD, making this not a prophecy but chicanery, the Romans did not completely level the temple. To this day the Wailing Wall still stands. And some of the temple’s great foundation stones are still standing firmly on top of each other. I have seen them in an episode of the Naked Archaeologist and you can see them in the image above. The largest stones are Herodian, laid by Herod the Great, who according to the Gospel of Matthew attempted to murder Jesus after his birth in the infamous Massacre of the Innocents. But as we will see that account was also false, as is so much of the Bible.
ellauri408.html on line 340: The Bible is full of badly-told fairy tales. For instance, the book of Acts says Jesus flew into the clouds like Superman before a Jerusalem crowd, with angels preaching a sermon and prophesying that he would return “the same way.” But we know that didn’t happen because no other author of the New Testament mentioned the most miraculous thing human eyes ever witnessed. The four gospels and Acts all disagree on what Jesus said and did after the alleged resurrection. But if you were hearing the words of the resurrected God, wouldn’t you be sure to remember and communicate them faithfully? Clearly five different authors made up five different accounts of what happened post-alleged-resurrection because no one knew what really happened after the empty grave was discovered. Acts says Jesus taught the mysteries of the Kingdom of God for 40 days in Jerusalem, but no one bothered to record a single word he said. Can anyone really believe that is possible?
ellauri408.html on line 344: The biblical “god” Jehovah created a perfect world, according to the Bible, but withheld the knowledge of good and evil from Adam and Eve, condemning them to an animal existence (why?) and meaning they couldn’t know it was “wrong” to eat the forbidden fruit. Then, when they did what they couldn’t have possibly known it was wrong to do, and which any of us could have easily predicted they would do, Jehovah murdered them and all their descendents (us).
ellauri408.html on line 350: But there is a teensy-tiny eensy-weensy little problem here, because Jehovah himself obviously had no knowledge of good and evil, for he would repeatedly do evil things throughout the Bible. Nor did billions of his followers obtain the knowledge of good and evil, because they study the Bible, which clearly accuses its “god” of all sorts of evil, and yet insist that their “god” is good. And not just good, but perfect! Quite obviously, they should all be immortal!
ellauri408.html on line 375: Here where I live in the United States, millions upon millions of Christians claim abortion is a “sin” but the Bible says its mass-murdering God aborted every human pregnancy at the time of the Great Flood and Noah’s Ark.
ellauri408.html on line 392: Think about it for a second. If all human beings fall short of the glory of God, as the Bible claims, then all human fall infinitely short and there is no difference between one fallible human being and another. If there is a heaven, to keep if from being like earth, God would either have to change human nature, or he would have to create a dimension where suffering and death are not possible. If suffering and death are not possible, evil is not possible. But a God who can do either, and who is able to “make the lion lie down with the lamb” doesn’t need a “hell.” Does this explain why there was no “hell” in the Old Testament?
ellauri408.html on line 394: Furthermore, the New Testament offers no explanation for “hell” popping up in a few inexplicable verses, like the weasel in the silly song. If God decided to create “hell” it would have been incumbent on him to inform every human being on earth, immediately. But of course that never happened, and the creation of hell and its purpose was never once mentioned in the Bible, not even in the New Testament. Thus, obviously, human beings made it up. (See Peter's and Paul's revelations elsewhere in these blasphemies.)
ellauri408.html on line 414: Jesus said lust was the same as adultery (Matthew 5:27-30), and the Bible says all adulterers will go to hell, so forget faith and works! Jesus also said that if we don’t give everything we own to the poor, we cannot be Christians! Also, we cannot bury our loved ones when they die! In fact, we have to hate our loved ones in order to be Christians! And other such nonsense.
ellauri408.html on line 418: There is no contemporary evidence outside the Bible that Jesus was a real person, and certainly not a person of any consequence. But there are parts of the gospels that sound like a real person. If I had to guess, I would say that Jesus was an unconventional rabbi who had table fellowship with prostitutes and rogues (a “sin” in the eyes of the hypocritical Pharisees), and went around ministering to the sick and the poor. When he died there may have been an empty grave and some sort of NDE (which are not uncommon) in which he saw something like heaven. That could account for the genesis of the Christian religion. Paul might have communicated with Jesus, or sincerely thought he did, such things are not all that uncommon. But the virgin birth, the massacre of the innocents, walking on water, the transfiguration and ascension, were all obviously made up and added later, since Paul knew nothing about such things and the four gospels and Acts do not agree on such “super miracles.”

ellauri408.html on line 438: I am being attacked by Christians for not reading Bible verses “in context.” My response:
ellauri408.html on line 442: Once you are able to admit that the Bible’s satanic commandments were authored by evil idiots, it’s not a great leap to figure out that others were authored by blatant liars.
ellauri408.html on line 444: I have been accused of not interpreting Bible verses “spiritually.” My response:
ellauri408.html on line 445: Please do give us your “spiritual” interpretation of satanic commandments to stone girls to death for being raped (Deuteronomy 22:23-24) and for fathers to sell their daughters as sex slaves with an option to buy them back if they don’t “please” their new masters (Exodus 21:7-11). Did the Holy Spirit inspire these satanic commandments? As a member of the Trinity, did Jesus approve them? He must have, since they ended up in the Bible … unless the Bible was written by evil-minded men. As it so obviously was.
ellauri408.html on line 447: There is no “spiritual” or enlightened way to read such evil bible passages.

ellauri412.html on line 64: I met a sweet gal named Jerusha. Upon hearing her name, I squealed, “I’ve never met a Jerusha!!” She looked rather startled. (I do that to people sometimes.) “You know who Jerusha is?” “Of course! She’s King Uzziah’s wife in the Bible.” This sweet girl smiled and confessed she’d stumped many Bible nerds with her name. I wouldn’t have known either unless I’d been studying Isaiah and the kings who reigned during his ministry. Here’s another woman I’ve read over at least a dozen times–Ahinoam. I knew one of David’s wives was Ahinoam, but did you know King Saul’s wife was also named Ahinoam? Aha! Got you there! And what about Job’s wife? Scripture doesn’t even name her. We only know her as the crotchety old gal that gripes at her suffering husband. The shepherd girl in Solomon’s Song of Songs is another one who gets no name. At least we know she was loved. And how! Isaiah’s wife is another woman mentioned but given no name.
ellauri412.html on line 198: As I mentioned, God doesn't like the worship of Asherah, and He is pretty adamant about it (well, 'hard' is perhaps not the word to use). In the Bible you know something is important if it is repeated, when Jesus said "Truly, truly I say to you" or "Amen, amen I say to you" depending on the bible version (John 12:24) He means 'This is the TRUTH - listen up.' and again when the angels sing that God is "Holy Holy Holy" (Isaiah 6:3) there should be no question in your mind that God is in fact Holy. So when you see that shrine prostitution worshiping Asherah is mentioned about 40 times in the Old Testament, and every single time it's in a very negative context, you know God is not happy with that idea. No sir, he is mad as Hell.
ellauri412.html on line 200: From the orgies with temple prostitutes on the high places under the trees surrounding Jerusalem, in ancient times, to the sex magick promoted by modern day occultists like Aleister Crowley (known through the UK as the most evil man in history), Anton LaVey (High priest and founder of the Church of Satan) and Gerald Gardner (the inventor of Wicca), the idea of sexual activity being an important part of occult has permeated every culture since man began to congregate. In the East you have “tantric” practices in Hindu and Buddhism. Throughout Europe, you have pagan sex rituals. And in the Holy Land we've covered the Bible's warning about the temple prostitutes which permeated the land throughout history–through Babylon, Rome, and Greece. Pagan idolatry always involves sex. Whereas sex is virtually absent from The Bible, well, from New Testament anyhow.
ellauri412.html on line 651: This prophecy was written 1000 years before Jesus was born. And coincidently, Judaism has tried to insert multiple messiahs to fit their own narrative of rejecting Jesus. How can you (Judaism) reject a chapter to fit your narrative of you still waiting for your messiah to come. If it’s in the word of God it is to be taken what the Lord God through the holy spirit had written. This is why, Christianity who follow Christ, we read the entire book of The Lord God We don’t have the right as his followers to reject or omit what the Lord Has written. If I was following Judaism then I would question and start to think with my own insight about how can you reject a chapter that the Lord God put in the Holy Bible, and then you have orthodox Jew who has come to the truth of Jesus Christ.
ellauri412.html on line 679: Look, if you’re reading the Bible as an atheist and asking about a reasonable interpretation, then the world is your oyster. You are not required to accept the worldview of the authors of the Bible, who all believed in God and wrote about Him from that perspective. And at the same time, as someone who does not believe God exists and does not accept the inspired nature or inerrancy of scripture, you have limited your possible interpretations of Scripture to only natural explanations that do not invoke God. This is going to cause significant problems with your use of the historical-grammatical method, which strives to discover the biblical author’s original intended meaning in the text. For example, every time Isaiah writes, “thus says the Lord” (which is a lot!), how will you interpret that? For an atheist, a statement like that either makes Isiah delusional (he believed a non-existent God told him something) or a charlatan (he’s knowingly asserting a false attribution).

Euphemisms for Boners in the Bible
ellauri463.html on line 132: The Bible doesn’t contain the word “penis.” Post-biblical Hebrew uses the clinical term ebar (organ/limb) or ebar qatan (small organ/limb) but no such term exists in biblical Hebrew. Instead, the Bible uses innuendo and euphemism to refer to the male sexual organ. Here are a few of these:
ellauri463.html on line 169: Leviticus 15:2-3, 16. This is a chapter dealing with genital discharges. Basar is the word that is used. What does the Bible say about sperm discharge? When a man has an emission of semen, he must bathe his whole body with water, and he will be unclean till evening. Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed with water, and it will be unclean till evening. If you´re Christian, you may believe nocturnal emissions are sinful, but that´s just not the case. The Shulchan Aruch and Kitzur Shulchan Aruch state that wasting sperm is considered to be a sin greater than any sin in the Torah. The commentary Beit Shmuel states that this is not literal, but rather serves to frighten man into avoiding the sin. The prohibition forbids a male from intentional wasteful spilling of his semen. Unintentional wasting of seed is also a (lesser) sin according to the Oral Torah. Even among Jewish scholars and among rabbis, it is widely disputed whether the prohibition of masturbation is a biblical prohibition or a rabbinical prohibition, since it is never explicitly mentioned in the Torah. Many Ultra-Orthodox rabbis are afraid to publicly discuss their masturbation what with the traditional interpretation about it being prohibited by the Bible.
ellauri463.html on line 190: He shows that the word for “rib” (tsela) never means rib anywhere in the Bible, but instead refers to a plank, side, or beam in a building or boat. The word “rib” snuck into our translations through the LXX (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) and Jerome’s Latin Vulgate, and has become the traditional (and safe) understanding of this Hebrew word.
ellauri463.html on line 192: Now, I read some online articles that have discussed this idea, and I understand that people will think scholars are trying to get the Bible to say something different than what it actually says. But the truth is that the word “rib” is actually the result of scholars trying to get the Bible to say something different than what it actually says.

ellauri463.html on line 210: Some Christians get angry and outraged when a scholar says the Bible contains numerous allusions to a male boner, but they won’t blink an eye if a pastor uses Scripture to justify the bombing of our enemies.
ellauri463.html on line 212: If this post had been about how Scripture tells us to bomb Muslims, many would have praised it. But since it suggests that the Bible uses the ancient equivalent of words like “boner,” well, I can predict what sort of comments it will receive… So, what are your thoughts?
ellauri463.html on line 216: “I write to express my disappointment with your magazine. I wish to cancel my subscription,” wrote Sue Glaze from Oakland, Maryland. “Come on now, Eve being created from Adam’s penis bone, rather than his rib? That is plainly not a Bible teaching. I do not need and will not read articles that damage my faith or attempts to cause me to doubt what I know is the truth from the Bible.”

Bible FAQ
ellauri478.html on line 74:
- What does the Bible say about women pastors? NOT OKAY Sorry girls, no offence. It is simply the way God designed the church to function.
ellauri478.html on line 75: - What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is it a sin? YES God’s forgiveness is available to the homosexual just as it is to the adulterer, idol worshiper, murderer, and thief.
ellauri478.html on line 77: What does the Bible say about tattoos? NOT OKAY “Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the LORD” (Leviticus 19:28). That paragraph now strictly only concerns Jews, but we suspect the new improved LORD doesn't particularly like tattoos either.
ellauri478.html on line 81: Masturbation - is it a sin according to the Bible? YES The Bible does not say that masturbation is (or is not) a sin. Onany had nothing to do with it, that was a case of coitus interruptus and eiaculatio ante portas. Il retira trop tôt. Jesus speaks against having lustful thoughts and then says, “If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away”. He did not specify what he did with his hand when he stumbled, nor exactly what he should cut off. If masturbation is done with no lust in the heart, no immoral thoughts, no pornography, no self-gratification of the flesh (say, mutually with a partner), with full assurance that it feels good and right, and thanks given to God afterward, then perhaps it is allowable.
ellauri478.html on line 82: - What does the Bible say about interracial marriage? OKAY Again not perhaps for Jews. But an interracial couple may face discrimination and ridicule, so better think twice.
ellauri478.html on line 84: - What is the Christian view of suicide? What does the Bible say about suicide? What about believer who commits suicide? NOT OKAY To those who are desperate, please recognize that suicide is not the best option. In Christ, there is hope (after you're dead, that is). For the sake of clarity, we should state that suicide is a sin against God and his chums. But it is not a mortal sin, there is still some hope, as you lie waiting in your lonely grave under the crossroads.
ellauri478.html on line 85: - Do pet animals go to heaven? Do pet animals have souls? NO Bible does not say, but we can make an educated guess. If animals, including our pets, do have a soul or spirit (an immaterial aspect), it must be of a different and lesser quality, because they do not look so much like God. We have been promised new pets in the millennium, so maybe God will save some work and reuse some of them, if they have been obedient.
ellauri478.html on line 88: - What does the Bible say about Christian tithing? Should a Christian tithe? How much should they tip? OF COURSE Although the tithe is not obligatory for the Christian, the New Testament emphasizes the importance and benefits of freewill giving to the greedy clergy. The Old Testament 10% is a “recommended minimum” for tips. Whoever sows generously will also reap generously.
ellauri478.html on line 90: - What does the Bible say about dinosaurs? Are there dinosaurs in the Bible? NO So, are there dinosaurs in the Bible? The matter is far from settled. It depends on how one interprets the available evidence. If the first two chapters of Genesis are taken literally, the result is a belief in a relatively young earth and the conviction that dinosaurs and man coexisted. Leviathan, behemoth ja tanniyim oli dinoja. If dinosaurs and human beings coexisted, what happened to the dinosaurs? The Bible does not discuss the issue, but dinosaurs likely died out sometime after the flood due to a combination of dramatic environmental shifts and being relentlessly hunted by God's chosen to extinction.
ellauri478.html on line 93: - What does the Bible say about drinking alcohol? Is it a sin for a Christian to drink alcohol? NO Raamatussa on paljon viinanjuontia. Scripture does not necessarily forbid a Christian from drinking beer, wine, brandy or any other drink containing alcohol. In fact, many passages of Scripture discuss alcohol in positive terms. Drinking alcohol in excess is undeniably addictive. It is impossible for any Christian to drink alcohol in excess to the glory of God. Jesus did not change wine to water. Alcohol is not, in and of itself, tainted by sin. It was drunk galore at Lord's supper. But don't drink too much lest your son sees your balls and must be banned to the promised land.
ellauri478.html on line 94: - What does the Bible say about gambling? Is gambling a sin? HM? Tyhjällä saatu tavara vähenee, mutta joka vähin erin kokoaa, se saa karttumaan. Juutalaiset tietävät. Syntipukin voi valita arvalla (esim. Jeesus). Mikään ei kuitenkaan ole sattumaa, vaan Loordin ennakolta määräämää. So much for free will my friends. Gambling, by nature, takes advantage of the misfortune of others, as does economic liberalism. A recent study showed that U.S. households in the lowest income bracket spend 13 percent of their annual household income on lottery tickets; in contrast, the highest earners spend just 1 percent of their income on the lottery. Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, fucking havenots!
ellauri478.html on line 95: - What does the Bible teach about the Trinity? NOT A THING The word Trinity is not found anywhere in Scripture. But we have the voice from heaven, Jesus, and the dove, that's 3 in all. And in the Old Testament, “LORD” is distinguished from “Lord” and we learn that the Lord has a Son (actually, a bunch of them). Jesus speaks to the Father about sending the Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16–17). So, Jesus did not consider Himself to be either the Father or the Holy Spirit. Was He talking to Himself? No way. He may have been a tad unhinged, but not THAT crazy. The dad commands the son and they together send off the spirit like their dog. But they are equal, believe it or not. It just never comes to a vote. The Father does all these things through the Son, who functions as His agent. But they are not just roles, but actually persons, whatever that may mean. We don't know, so you just have to trust us and repeat our words. The most difficult thing about the Christian concept of the Trinity is that there is no way to completely understand it or explain it. It is plain gobbledygook. Ultimately, how a single Being can exist in three distinct Persons is as incomprehensible to us as it is to Jews and Muslims.
ellauri478.html on line 103: - What does the Bible say about sex before marriage? NOT OKAY
ellauri478.html on line 104: The Bible clearly condemns 2 sexual sins: adultery and fornication (sexual immorality in general). Premarital sex falls under fornication. God designed sex, as you can tell by your genitals, and the Bible honors marriage, but he did not mean it to be some kind of fun. It's for procreation, not recreation. Better yet is abstinence: it saves lives, protects against babies, gives sexual self-satisfaction moments their proper value, and, most importantly, honors God.
ellauri478.html on line 107: - What does the Bible say about divorce and remarriage? NOT OKAY
ellauri478.html on line 108: The Jews had divorce proceedings, but not Paul. "To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband. And a husband must not divorce his wife.” EXCEPT a believer abandoned by an unbelieving spouse “is not bound”. And Jesus adds, “Except for sexual immorality”. (Does not say whose.) Other immorality such as beating is not considered. In summary, the Bible makes it clear that God hates divorce like a mongrel dog (rakkikoira). But if you do it's not so bad a sin, you may be forgiven in the end.
ellauri478.html on line 118: The Bible says that becoming a follower of Christ is like following a dead person..
ellauri478.html on line 124: Treadmillin 20 Bible topics on vielä perusteellisempi, pähkinöitä on yli 300 20 pääozikossa, jotka hauskasti jakautuvat mieliaiheisiimme SYÖ! NAI! TAPA! Vähiten kysymyksiä on rahasta ja omaisuuden suojasta. 3. vuosituhat perustettiin 2011. Tää vaikuttaa kalvinismilta. Vaaleista on yhtä paljon puhetta kuin Trumpilla.

ellauri478.html on line 224: On the other hand, it is a-ok to leave some really good guys unpenalized. For example, David was a murderer, but the Bible makes no sounds about putting him to death for his crimes (2 Sam. 12:9ff.). These bloodthirsty ponderings came from Mr. Nally who is a former policeman.
ellauri478.html on line 274: Bible in its wisdom does not mention woodpeckers as such, but the woodpecker’s persistence and hardheadedness as it searches for spiritual food brings to mind Jesus’ words in Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock knock, and it will be opened to you.” The woodpecker’s unique design – its strong beak, shock-absorbing skull, and long tongue – speaks to the wild imagination and intricate craftsmanship of our Creator.
ellauri478.html on line 289: The Bible shows God’s self-centeredness in many passages. Isaiah 42:8 states, “I am the Lord; that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to carved idols.” God’s ultimate concern is His own glory, and rightly so, for He alone is holy and perfect. Unlike human narcissism, which seeks validation, God’s self-focus reflects the reality of who He is: the Creator and sustainer of all things. God’s self-glorification is an expression of His nature as the ultimate good. Not denying that He seeks validation uncommonly often and gets nasty if he is not getting it.
ellauri479.html on line 71: In an interview with conservative commentator Tucker Carlson that aired on Friday, Huckabee was pressed about the geographical borders of Israel, which he argues are rooted in the Bible.
ellauri479.html on line 157: Olin Menlo Parkissa varmaan puuhastelemassa pihan perällä pumppuhuoneessa kun Hallerin "Go figure" ilmestyi 1984. He was nominated in 1972 for the Nobel Prize in Literature. No Way Hosé. Tämäkin Hosén teos oli kassamenestys. Sepun ikäinen Hosé täytti 61v tuona vuonna mutta eli vielä vuoteen 1999 (76). On the other hand Kirkukissa-lehti assessed Heller´s character/history/theology inventions and deemed them "undeveloped, with the Borscht Belt rhythms too relentless to allow for depth or nuance. And the entire vaudeville enterprise eventually seems wilted, formula-creased." However, the magazine praised the author´s efforts of paying attention to the scriptures calling them "remarkable." Though perhaps its biggest tragedy is taking the cast of rich and complex characters that make up the Bible and turn them into boring and hackneyed two-dimensional charicatures.
ellauri479.html on line 259: Hosén Taavi syyttää homon maineestaan James I:ä, joka oli tunnetusti ilmihinuri ja varmaan piti erityisesti tästä kohdasta King James Biblessä.
ellauri479.html on line 278: Today the site, known as Tel Tzafit, is an Israeli national park incorporating archaeological remains which were reluctantly, if not at all, identified as the Philistine city of Gath, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the place where David hid with his hoodlums.
ellauri479.html on line 287: Gath is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as one of the five main Philistine cities. It was one of the last refuges of the ex-Jedi knight Anakin in front of the conquering prepuceless Israelites under Joshua.
ellauri479.html on line 320: Interestingly, the Bible says nothing about David’s practice of polygamy, and though it is a sin according to Scripture, it was apparently tolerated in David’s life, perhaps because it never resulted in his wives leading him into idolatry as it did with his son, Solomon. But doesn’t this seem unfair? That David could commit such heinous sins as murder, adultery, and polygamy and still be called a man after God’s own heart, as well as being the standard of a good king to all subsequent kings in Israel? I think there’s an answer to this, and it is found in two words; grace and humility. Grace on God’s part and humility on David’s part. Voee vittu mitä pferdescheissea. David was not perfect, and neither was Jehovah, except that he really was, a perfect Arschloch. By: Dr. Steven R. Kuk.
ellauri480.html on line 165: The iron-age Yahwist inscription of Cuntillet ʿAjrud in the Sinai Peninsula pairs Yahweh with Asherah. Scholars argue that it is a generic name for any consort of Yahweh. Asherah was the goddess of the sea while "her husband El" was the god of 'heaven.' She was believed to be the mediator between the worshipper and Yahweh, as a bottomless precursor of Virgin Mary. Early references to Asherah poles in the Hebrew Bible (i.e. Deuteronomy 16:21–22) were built on the awareness that Yahweh had a consort, from the perspective of many Israelites. The pro-Yahwist prophets and priests who went "You shall not plant any tree as a sacred pole beside the altar that you make for the Lord your God; nor shall you set up a stone pillar—things that the Lord your God hates" were the "innovators" whilst Asherah worshippers were the "traditionalists". The association with temple prostitution is now debated. It has proved hard to differentiate between true prostitution and sacred sex without remuneration. But on Hammurabi´s code of laws, the rights and good name of female sacred sexual priestesses were protected.
ellauri480.html on line 175: Counting the casualties in the Bible is a bit like trying to count stars in a galaxy—the total depends entirely on whether you’re looking at the "named" stars or the "estimated" ones. Biblical scholars and researchers generally approach this from two different angles: the explicitly documented deaths and the statistical estimates based on historical context.
ellauri480.html on line 179: According to a well-known analysis by Steve Wells (author of The Skeptic’s Annotated Bible), there are roughly 2.5 million deaths specifically attributed to God in the text. This number is reached by adding up every instance where a specific figure is provided. Major contributors to this total include:
ellauri480.html on line 187: If you factor in the events where the Bible mentions mass destruction without providing a headcount, the number skyrockets into the tens of millions.
ellauri480.html on line 188: The most significant event here is The Great Flood. While the Bible doesn't give a census of the pre-flood world, modern estimates of the Earth's population at that time range anywhere from 30 million to over 100 million people. Under this interpretation, the Flood accounts for the vast majority of the total.
ellauri480.html on line 492: Throughout their lives, C.S. Lewis and Arthur Greeves shared their most intimate secrets with one another, including Lewis’s temporary fixation on masochism. Luckily the Bible has nothing to say against it. Quite to the contrary, says Duck.ai: The Bible does not directly address modern definitions of sexual masochism, but it heavily features themes of suffering, sacrifice, and humility that some scholars interpret as a form of "valorized masochism". This involves, in certain interpretations, viewing pain and humiliation as a path to spiritual growth or emulation of Christ. Masokisti: Kiusaa minua. Sadisti: Enkä kiusaa. Onko se altruismia jos pitää uhrautumisesta.
ellauri480.html on line 532: Kalle kehitti käsitteet koinherenssi ja inkoherenssi. In Christian theology, co-inherence is a concept related to the Trinity. Incoherence is another. Unlike the heads of Tolkien, Williams and Lewis, there is no conflict, loss of intimacy, or estrangement within the Godhead. Though the members of the Trinity are separate Persons (the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Holy Spirit, etc.), they co-inhere; that is, they exist in and through each other. Whenever the Bible says that two different things are the same, they coinhere. According to Gunnar Uranian, co-inherence is the focus of all Williams´s novels.
ellauri481.html on line 222: - What Bible verse did you post Dr. Rsn that got you accused of war crime and crime against humanity in Finland? - Uh it was Romans 1:24 where Paul says that same sex sex is sinful and shameful. I said how can the church take part on Pride events which are Shame events according to Paul? - Well as a pastor of 30 years standing I must say that this coming from a friendly NATO country is deeply worrying. Our God-given freedom of speech is threatened. Bless you for sharing with us Dr. Rsn, never mind that you are just a foreign lady that can't even pronounce English right.
ellauri483.html on line 481: Hi! I am really just now getting into Bible study so please be kind! I am just starting to read the book of Matthew (yes that new). I am a little confused. It starts by giving the lineage from Abraham to David to Joseph... But if Jesus is the "Son of David" but not Joseph's son, how is he the son of David? I would have thought that Mary came from the line of David. Please feel free to share scriptures that explain this a little more. Thank you!!

ellauri483.html on line 630: Wyatt was working as a nurse anesthetist in a hospital in Madison, Tennessee, when, in 1960, he saw a picture in Life of the Durupınar site, a boat-like shape on a mountain near Mount Ararat. The Ark is a large aggregate structure in Doğubayazıt, Ağrı, Turkey. The resulting widespread speculation in evangelical Christian circles that this might be Noah's Ark started Wyatt on his career as an amateur archaeologist. From 1977 until his death, in 1999, he made more than a hundred trips to the Middle East, his interests widening to take in a great variety of references from the Old and New Testaments. By the time of his death, Wyatt claimed to have discovered several hundreds of sites and artifacts related to the Bible and biblical archaeology.
ellauri483.html on line 645: No, it isn't an innovation caused by competitive pressure from Christians. Both traditions developed overlapping ideas, with much cross-influence from earlier Near Eastern and Hellenistic sources. Pre-exilic Early Hebrew Bible shows mixed views. Some texts (e.g., Sheol imagery) portray a shadowy underworld rather than clear immortality or resurrection; others (later prophetic and wisdom texts) hint at reward or vindication after death. This diversity predates Christianity. Second Temple period (c. 500 BCE–70 CE): Jewish literature then (Pharisees, Essenes, apocalyptic writings like Daniel, 1 Enoch) increasingly developed ideas of resurrection, judgment, and an afterlife. Those developments occurred before and alongside early Christianity. Hellenistic and Persian influences: Contact with Persian (Zoroastrian) ideas about resurrection and judgment and with Hellenistic Greek notions of the soul contributed to changing Jewish thought in this era. These influences affected both Jewish and emerging Christian theology.

ellauri494.html on line 128: Tekoa is mentioned several times in the Bible, primarily in the Old Testament. It is most notably recognized as the hometown of the prophet Anus. Tekoa was known for its pastoral activities, particularly sheep breeding, which is reflected in the favorite occupation of Anus. Despite his humble origins as a shepherd and fig tree farmer, Amos's messages are profound and impactful. The prophet exclaims, "Blow the trumpet in Tekoa, and set up a sign of fire in Bethhaccerem."

ellauri496.html on line 340: Tietoja kirjoittajasta: Janice Manningin profiilikuva (typ Ankka) Janice Manning 14 kirjaa 4 seuraajaa. Soiraa Readers enjoyed! There is debate as to the veracity of the book, because the Celts did not write things down, none at all. Despite this the Kolbrin Bible, like the Bible, presents and outlines ethics and relationship with God. It also explains the ‘fall’ of man, the resulting intimate relationship with God, and what is available to man to repair the relationship with God to a healthier, less intimate level.
ellauri496.html on line 342: In contrast to James, the Kolbrin Bible provides the purpose for the Earth, life and man, post ‘fall.’ The point of the book is man willing (and committed) toward doing what is necessary to repair the relationship with God so as to avoid the Destroyer and the Frightener.
ellauri496.html on line 343: Ken Church looks pretty old by now in his LinkedIn. Wonder if anybody buys his gizmo. Here lies a misunderstood but vital part of human history which connects closely to The Bible. The spiritual guidance is excellent and it fills in some gaps in the naked arse of Noah. It verifies that a comet struck Earth in the Sahara and was responsible for Noah's dick hanging out in full view of Canaan who got exiled there as a punishment..
ellauri496.html on line 356: The Destroyer.. Sneak Peak into the Kolbrin Bible PDF and Ancient prophecy CHAPTER 3 THE DESTROYER – PART 1 FROM THE GREAT SCROLL Men forget the days of the Destroyer. Only the wise know where it went and that it will return in its appointed hour. It raged across the Heavens in the days of wrath, and this was its likeness: It was as a billowing cloud of smoke enwrapped in a ruddy glow, not distinguishable in joint or limb. Its mouth was an abyss from which came flame, smoke and hot cinders. When ages pass, certain laws operate upon the stars in the Heavens. Their ways change, there is movement and restlessness, they are no longer constant and a great light appears redly in the skies. When blood drops upon the Earth, the Destroyer will appear and mountains will open up and belch forth fire and ashes. Trees will be destroyed and all living things engulfed. Waters will be swallowed up by the land and seas will boil. The Heavens will burn brightly and redly, there will be a copper hue over the face of the land, followed by a day of darkness. A new moon will appear and break up and fall. The people will scatter in madness. They will hear the trumpet and battle cry of the Destroyer and will seek refuge in the den in the Earth. Terror will eat away their hearts and their courage will flow from them like water from a broken pitcher. They will be eaten up in the flames of wrath and consumed by the breath of the Destroyer. Thus in the Days of Heavenly Wrath, which have gone, and thus it will be in the Days of Doom when it comes again. The times of its coming and going are known unto the wise. These are the signs and times which shall precede the Destroyer’s return: A hundred and ten generations shall pass into the West and nations will rise and fall. Men will fly in the air as birds and swim in the seas as fishes. Men will talk peace one with another, hypocrisy and deceit shall have their day. Women will be as men and men as women, passion will be a plaything of man. A nation of soothsayers shall rise and fall and their tongue shall be the speech learned. A nation of law givers shall rule the Earth and pass away into nothingness. One worship will pass into the four quarters of the Earth, talking peace and bringing war. A nation of the seas will be greater than any other, but will be as an apple rotten at the core and will not endure. A nation of traders will destroy men with wonders and it shall have its day. Then shall the high strive with the low, the North with the South, the East with the West, and the light with the darkness. Men shall be divided by their races and the children will be born as strangers among them. Brother shall strive with brother and husband with wife. Fathers will no longer instruct their sons and their sons will be wayward. Women will become the common property of men and will no longer be held in regard and respect. Then men will be ill at ease in their hearts, they will seek they know not what, and uncertainty and doubt will trouble them. They will possess great riches but be poor in spirit. Then will the Heavens tremble and the Earth move, men will quake in fear and while terror walks with them the Heralds of Doom will appear. They will come softly, as thieves to the tombs, men will no know them for what they are, men will be deceived, the hour of the Destroyer is at hand. In those days men will have the Great Book before them, wisdom will be revealed, the few will be gathered for the stand, it is the hour of trial. The dauntless ones will survive, the stout-hearted will not go down to destruction. Great God of All Ages, alike to all, who sets the trials of man, be merciful to our children in the Days of Doom. Man must suffer to be great, but hasten not his progress unduly. In the great winnowing, be not too harsh on the lesser ones among men. Even the son of a thief has become Your scribe.
ellauri497.html on line 387: The Bible says plainly that the righteous dead will receive new bodies at Christ’s return (1 Corinthians 15:51, 52), and the risen wicked a thousand years later (Revelation 20:5), so this story contradicts the plain words of the Bible by giving new bodies before the second coming. In light of all this, it seems clear that the story cannot be literal and must be a parable.
ellauri497.html on line 597: Having a 5th-century Arthurian druid literally lurking in a standard roadside bush created a brilliant sense of "suburban enchantment" for academic Brits. It said nothing to the American readership. Merlin's magic was okay because it was white (rather like miracles), although Bible condemns magic sternly and repeatedly. Ransom explains that God "closed the gate" on Merlin's kind of magic too after Merlin's era because after that humanity would only abuse it.
ellauri498.html on line 286: Jehoram of Judah (The Southern Kingdom) was the son of the godly King Jehoshaphat. In an attempt to seal a peace treaty between the two rival kingdoms, Jehoram of Judah married Athaliah, who was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel (and the sister of Joram of Israel). Influenced by his wife, he introduced the pagan worship of Baal into Judah. The Bible states he died unlamented from a horrific intestinal disease [2 Chronicles 21:18-20].
ellauri498.html on line 468: The name Hilkiah (Hebrew: חִלְקִיָּה, meaning "portion of Yahweh") appears multiple times in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals, primarily priests and Levites associated with the Kingdom of Judah. The most prominent is the high priest during the reign of King Josiah (circa 640–609 BCE), who discovered a scroll of the Torah in the Temple in Jerusalem, prompting Josiah's religious reforms (2 Kings 22:4–14; 2 Chronicles 34:9–18). This event, dated to the eighteenth year of Josiah's rule (circa 622 BCE), involved Hilkiah delivering the scroll to scribe Shaphan, leading to consultations with prophetess Huldah and subsequent covenant renewal.

ellauri498.html on line 604: Jews normally do not pronounce this name, considering it too holy to verbalize, aping Haddu. Instead, whenever they encounter this unpronounceable string of consonants, (YHWH) they speak the name Adonai. Orthodox Jews strenuously avoid mentioning or even writing the divine name, preferring such circumlocutions as "the Holy One," "the Name," or the defective writing "G-d." In Christian Bibles, Yahweh is usually translated as "the LORD," a rough equivalent to the Hebrew "Adonai." The Hebrew Bible indicates this reading by inserting the vowel pointing from the word Adonai on the consonants YHWH, rather than use the actual vowels. Based on a literal reading of this pointing (יְהוָֹה), many modern Protestant Christians read God's name as Jehovah. Elohim is the generic term for gods in the Hebrew Bible, translated "Gods." Muslims refer to God as "Allah," which originates from the same etymological root as "Elohim."
ellauri499.html on line 76: Given the obviously propagandistic character of south Judahite Bible, non-biblical evidence is a better source to study the northern kingdom of Israel. Adopting this approach, here is a new reconstruction of the history of YHWH and Baal worship in ancient Israel and Judah that challenges dominant scholarly models of YHWH’s historical origins as a storm god whose worship is said to have originated among non-Israelite/non-Judahite peoples in Bronze Age Arabia.
ellauri499.html on line 88: In pitting YHWH against Baal, the Hebrew Bible offers an engaging historiographical narrative about early Israelite religion—one that current biblical scholarship, to differing extents, commonly reproduces as historical reality.
ellauri499.html on line 90: However, I argue that this distinctively Judahite portrayal of YHWH and Baal’s relationship is a later partisan construction that makes a normative claim on its ancient audience, prescriptively mandating the worship of YHWH alone. For this reason, the Hebrew Bible’s polemics against Baal cannot simply be taken as an accurate historical depiction of Israel’s religious history, especially for earlier periods.
ellauri499.html on line 94: This article offers a programmatic study of YHWH and Baal worship in ancient Israel and Judah that begins, not with the Hebrew Bible, but with the non-biblical evidence. Contrary to much biblical scholarship, I argue that this historical approach should prioritize Israelite religion over Judahite/Jerusalemite religion, which maintains a dominant place both in the Hebrew Bible and modern scholarship.
ellauri499.html on line 96: Adopting this perspective, I conclude that: (1) Baal worship was traditional to ancient Israelite and Judahite religion down to the end of the monarchic period; (2) YHWH’s cult cannot be said to have originated historically in Bronze Age Arabia—as the reigning “Midianite-Kenite Hypothesis” maintains—but is rooted in the central Israelite hill country in the Iron Age (cf. the “Berlin Hy- pothesis”); (3) YHWH cannot clearly be said to have originated as a storm god, as many scholars maintain, but especially appears to have taken on storm-god features under Baal’s infuence in the Iron II period; (4) YHWH became Israel’s representative god under the patronage of Samaria’s ninth-century Omride kings, who seem to have modeled YHWH on the more popular Levantine deity Baal(-šamêm); (5) YHWH’s associations with the deep south are to be connected to political and economic expansion into the Egyptian Sinai during the ninth and eighth centuries; (6) YHWH officially became Judah’s patron god and the primary deity of the Jerusalem temple under the direct infuence of Omride Israel’s YHWistic political-religious reforms; (7) Jerusalemite YHWism further developed distinctive YHWistic traditions that reflect and respond to Judah’s specifc social-political economy and political-religious history; and (8) the Hebrew Bible’s Baal polemics largely derive from limited Judahite scribal circles in the late monarchic and post-monarchic periods that advocated newly invented insidious political-religious ideologies.
ellauri499.html on line 98: According to much of the Hebrew Bible, which is a cultural product of the kingdom of Judah and its heirs, Israel is to worship only YHWH, who rescued the Israelites from slavery in Egypt under Moses’s leadership, established an exclusive covenant with them to be their god and they his people, and brought them into their land, defeating Israel’s enemies and for- bidding the worship of their gods, including Baal. Yet, the Israelites repeatedly forsake their covenant obligations to YHWH and worship Baal and the other deities.
ellauri499.html on line 100: This distinctively Judahite narrative provides an origins story for the Hebrew Bible’s people that renders the northern Israelites as originally outsiders to their land, the indigenous peoples of which are imagined as foreign/non-Israelite, as is their worship of Baal and the other gods and goddesses.
ellauri499.html on line 102: Because of the extreme bias of the biblical sources against Baal, I argue that methodologically the historian must start from the non-biblical evidence to determine the nature of YHWH and Baal’s relationship in ancient Israel and Judah, critically using the Hebrew Bible only in a supplementary capacity. For instance, biblical polemics directed against Baal imply that the goddess Asherah was Baal’s consort (e.g., 1 Kgs 18:19; 2 Kgs 23:4). However, this appears to be a case of guilt by association, since Baal and Asherah never appear as spouses in historical sources outside of the Hebrew Bible. Indeed, the Hebrew Bible’s implication that Baal and Asherah were paramours may actually serve to conceal that many ancient Israelites and Judahites believed Asherah to be rather YHWH’s companion.
ellauri499.html on line 104: Whatever one’s views on the Hebrew Bible’s ability to preserve early Israelite and Judahite lore, the general down-dating of biblical texts to later periods offers a profound challenge to the scholar interested in using the Hebrew Bible for historical purposes. The Hebrew Bible’s problematic relationship to history appears especially acute for earlier periods, since there may be no biblical writing that dates before the ninth century, when extended literary writing in local Northwest Semitic languages evidently makes its frst appearance in the epigraphic record of the southern Levant. Therefore eeach biblical text must be critically examined on a case-by-case basis to determine its potential utility for historical reconstruction.
ellauri499.html on line 106: Although the Hebrew Bible claims Israel’s name and heritage for its peoples, it is ultimately a Judahite scribal creation written largely after the destruction of the kingdom of Israel that reflects the political and cultural values of particular scribal circles invested in the kingdom based at Jerusalem. While Israel and Judah were both small southern Levantine kingdoms that shared the He- brew language and the worship of YHWH—indeed, YHWH historically is only known to have been worshiped in Israel and Judah —differences in social and political structure indicate that the two kingdoms had rather distinctive political cultures.
ellauri499.html on line 116: While the god Baal/Haddu is historically well attested outside of the Hebrew Bible and ancient Israel, YHWH’s historical origins remain obscure and his worship limited to Iron Age Israel and Judah. The Hebrew Bible occasionally describes YHWH(-El) with bovine language (Bellow/Snort/Grunt/Mooh)—especially horn imagery (Num 23:22, 24:8; Hosea 8:5–6, 10:5–6, 13:2) —although its Judahite authors roundly condemn Israel’s use of bull-calf icons to worship YHWH (Exod 32:4, 8; Deut 9:16; 1 Kgs 12:28–32; Ps 106:19–20; Neh 9:18; 2 Chr 13:8). For instance, Hosea 8:5–6* criticizes the “calf (icon) of Samaria,” which, particularly in light of the mention of “YHWH of Samaria” on Pithos A from Kuntillet ʿAğrûd, most likely served to emblemize YHWH. The “Berlin Hypothesis” posits that YHWH did not originate in the deep south but in the central Israelite highlands.
ellauri499.html on line 130: Virtually all of the biblical evidence for Israelite worship of Baal clearly belongs to late Judahite writing following the destruction of the kingdom of Israel. Regrettably, it remains difficult in many cases to isolate Israelite writing in the Hebrew Bible, the Judahite authors/editors of which incorporated and often reworked received Israelite material to fit later Jerusalemite ideological frameworks.
ellauri499.html on line 136: Relying heavily upon the Hebrew Bible’s dominant Judahite narrative, scholars have ascribed YHWH’s formal elevation to the position of Israel’s patron deity to Israel’s Mosaic prehistory, the reign of Saul, King David’s rule, or even Jehu’s coup overthrowing Omri’s royal house. However, I contend that this major shift in YHWH’s identity is to be correlated with Israel’s broader political, economic, and cultural transformation under the Omrides.
ellauri499.html on line 138: The notion that the Omrides promoted the worship of YHWH as the “god of Israel” stands in stark contrast to the Hebrew Bible’s claim that Omri’s son Ahab, under the infuence of his Phoenician wife Jezebel, introduced and officially sponsored a Phoenician cult of Baal in Samaria and tried to eliminate the worship of YHWH in Israel (1 Kgs 16:30–32).
ellauri499.html on line 141:However, the Hebrew Bible’s partisan portrayal of Ahab— judged the worst king in Israel’s history by the Judean editors of the books of Kings (1 Kgs 16:30; cf. 1 Kgs 21:25–26)—and his son Ahaziah as unrepentant Baal worshipers cannot be taken at face value, serving as it does late Judahite political and religious interests.
While some scholars argue that the Baal polemics in the Elijah cycle contain traces of early Israelite tradition, the writers who composed and edited the biblical material in the books of Kings about the Omrides’ worship of Baal clearly were Judean scribes active in the post-monarchic period, hundreds of years af- ter the events portrayed.
ellauri499.html on line 143: In short, the Hebrew Bible’s late, tendentious portrait of the Omrides as ardent Baal worshipers cannot be used to reconstruct ninth-century Israelite religion. Rather, I argue that the evidence points toward the Omride royal court in Samaria as the engine of Israel’s political-religious transformation during the Iron Age IIB, including YHWH’s identifcation as the “god of Israel”, via his translation as a storm god modeled on Baal(-šamêm).
ellauri499.html on line 147: Despite the Hebrew Bible’s polemics against Baal—indeed, because of the evidence that such polemics supply—Baal’s worship, whether as a separate god and/or in convergence with YHWH, also appears to have been unproblematic in Judah prior to the second half of the eighth century, both in royal and non-royal circles.
ellauri499.html on line 155: Furthermore, the Hebrew Bible’s surprising memory that Judah’s founding king did not construct YHWH’s temple in Jerusalem has the ring of historical truth to it, especially in light of biblical apologetics that attempt to explain away this anomaly. Late Bronze or early Iron Age Jerusalem, which was evidently a non-Israelite/Judahite city and whose religious identity early on may have been especially linked to El, the Sun god.
ellauri499.html on line 167: Because the Hebrew Bible is fundamentally a Judahite document, scholarly reconstructions of Israelite religion often subordinate the religion of the kingdom of Israel to that of the kingdom of Judah. However, the historical, archaeological, and iconographic records indicate that Israel, not Judah, was the major engine of political, economic, and religious change in Iron Age II Israel-Palestine.
ellauri499.html on line 189: No. In the Bible, “Baal” isn’t portrayed as a “good guy” who’s only problematic in a narrow exception—it’s presented as a false god (i.e., something Israelites are warned not to worship). The “prophets of Baal” in the Elijah story are shown as wrong/misled competitors to Yahweh, and the whole confrontation is framed to discredit Baal. As for Nehemiah (the biblical figure) is not a known part of a “Baal vs. Yahweh prophets” story in the way Elijah is—Nehemiah’s work is mainly about rebuilding/leading after the Babylonian exile and religious reforms, not debating Baal as a supernatural rival.
ellauri499.html on line 206:You are still hanging on Bible text which is tainted. Surely guys lika Aaron, Ahab or Omri thought otherwise, actually most likely all of the northern state of Israel.
ellauri499.html on line 208: You’re making a strong historical-literary point: the Bible is not a neutral report, and it reflects one faction’s theology more than a complete picture of what “Israel” believed or practiced.
ellauri499.html on line 212: Religious competition was real, and different groups backed different cults Ahab and Omri (and earlier Jeroboam-era traditions) are portrayed in Kings as promoting worship associated with the northern court and its contacts. If you strip away the Bible’s moral framing, the most defensible inference is: there were pro-Baal/anti-Yahweh (or at least pro–other-deity) factions or households in at least parts of Israel/Judah at different times.
ellauri499.html on line 214: Even “state of Israel” likely wasn’t religiously uniform “Israel” wasn’t one homogeneous religion. Evidence and scholarship commonly treat the ancient Levant as a world where people could be associated with multiple deities (or at minimum multiple cult practices) while emphasizing one god as supreme at times. So it’s very reasonable that “most likely all of the state” didn’t think in the binary terms later Bible storytellers use.
ellauri499.html on line 216: Why the Bible still calls the other side “wrong” The biblical authors are writing identity-creation literature: they want a clean theological boundary (“Yahweh alone”) and therefore portray rival worship as rebellion, spiritual danger, or moral failure. Redaction can sharpen the blame, but it also preserves the community’s political-theological agenda—so the direction of the polemic is not an accident.
ellauri499.html on line 218: Aaron is a good example of internal polemic, not objective history Aaron functions in the text less as “what Aaron actually believed” and more as a theological foil—showing that even prominent Yahweh-associated figures can be reinterpreted as guilty under certain reforms. That fits your point: the Bible is building narratives that serve an argument about legitimacy.
ellauri499.html on line 224: At the end, I can also suggest a few mainstream scholarly ways people handle this kind of redaction/polemics problem (without just accepting or rejecting the Bible wholesale).
ellauri499.html on line 264: The Hebrew Bible includes use of the term in reference to various Levantine deities, often with application towards Hadad, who was decried as a false god. In the Hebrew Bible, Baal appears frequently as a foreign or rival deity, with prophets like Elijah opposing his cult, while in early Israelite contexts, the title may have sometimes referred to Yahweh. Depiction as a false god was taken over into Christianity and Islam, sometimes under the form Beelzebub (Lord of flies) in demonology. Classical sources rendered him as Belus. The Quran also references Baal worship, portraying him as a false god opposed by the prophet Elijah (Arabic: Ilyās or Elyas) (Qur’an 37:125). The Quran also mentions Ba'al as a common noun meaning “husband” (Qur’an 2:228, 4:128, 11:72, 24:31). Ba'al (בעל) is the most commonly used Modern Hebrew word for a husband.
ellauri499.html on line 287: Baʿal (בַּעַל) appears about 90 times in the Hebrew Bible in reference to various gods. The priests of the Canaanite Baʿal are mentioned numerous times, most prominently in the First Book of Kings. Many scholars believe that this describes Jezebel's attempt to introduce the worship of the Baʿal of Tyre, Melqart to Israel's capital Samaria in the 9th century BC. Against this, Day argues that Jezebel's Baʿal was more probably Baʿal Shamem, the Lord of the Heavens, a title most often applied to Hadad, who is also often titled just Baʻal, as was JHWH too.
ellauri499.html on line 293: Gideon's name Jerubaʿal was mentioned intact but glossed as a mockery of the Canaanite god, implying that he strove in vain. Direct use of Baʿali continued at least as late as the time of the prophet Hosea, who reproached the Israelites for doing so. Brad E. Kelle has suggested that references to cultic sexual practices in the worship of Baal, in Hosea 2, are evidence of an historical situation in which Israelites were not behaving to the liking of thepruder southpaws, either preferring sexy Baal practices for boring Yahweh or blending the two. Hosea's references to sexual acts were metaphors for Israelite "apostasy". Brian P. Irwin argues that "Baal" in northern Israelite traditions is a form of Yahweh that was rejected as foreign by the prophets. In southern Israelite traditions, "Baal" was a god that was worshipped in Jerusalem. His worshippers saw him as compatible or identical with Yahweh and honored him with human sacrifices and fragrant meal offerings. Eventually, the Chronicler(s) disapproved of both "Baals" whilst the Deuteronomists used "Baals" for any god they disapproved of. Likewise, Mark S. Smith believes Yahweh was more likely to be inspired by Baal rather than El, since both are stormy divine warriors and lack the pacifistic traits of El according to the Ugaritic texts and Hebrew Bible.
ellauri499.html on line 341: The rigid monotheism we see in the final text of the Hebrew Bible was heavily shaped by later Southern writers, particularly during and after the Babylonian exile. Many everyday southerners also worshipped tight-lipped Asherah alongside Yahweh. Pure monotheism was not yet the norm for the average citizen.
ellauri499.html on line 367: In this article, I’ll explore who Baal was—both in the broader ancient Near Eastern context and within the polemics of the Bible. Baal’s story is not just about a rival god. It’s about identity, loyalty, and the struggle to define what it meant to worship the God of Israel in a land full of competing deities.
ellauri499.html on line 369: Although the Bible contains a few late additions designed to transform its religion into monotheism, the overwhelming majority of its texts are henotheistic. To be more precise, the Bible usually expresses monolatry, which is a more extreme form of henotheism. Whereas henotheism believes in many gods, but with one supremely powerful god, monolatry believes in many gods, but with only one god that it pays to worship.
ellauri499.html on line 371: Either way, it’s clear from many texts in the Hebrew Bible that the ancient Israelites believed in the existence of many gods. One of the gods mentioned the most is named Baal. Baal in the Bible usually refers to a specific god. Much of what we know of Baal outside of the Hebrew Bible comes from an ancient Ugaritic text known as the Baal Cycle, written sometime between 1300-1100 BCE, showing that worship of this Baal god predated this period. It's likely, as well, that worship of Baal as a Canaanite storm god who was also called “rider of the clouds” predated the worship of Yahweh.
ellauri499.html on line 377: In the Hebrew Bible, He (Baal) is often set up as a divine rival of the God of Israel, although the God of Israel generally always wins their battles. The biblical texts also make clear that Yahweh came to be associated with the language, imagery, and traditions of Baal worship, perhaps as part of a deliberate attempt to elevate Yahweh’s profile and status as the patron deity of the Northern Kingdom. Judges 5:2-11, which twice calls Yahweh the “God of Israel,” depicts Yahweh marching from his mountain home in the deep south (called Seir and Edom) as a warrior storm god much like Baal.
ellauri499.html on line 384: Libanonin Baal oli pahempi kuin paapa, melkein kuin paska! 1 Kings 16:33 says that “Ahab did more to provoke the anger of the Lord, the God of Israel, than had all the kings of Israel who were before him.” The frequent polemic in the Hebrew Bible against Israelites marrying non-Israelites is highlighted in this story: it’s because Ahab sinned by marrying a Phoenician that the worship of the false god Baal was brought to Israel.
ellauri499.html on line 400: The integration was not entirely seamless. The refugees from Israel and the locals of Judah spoke slightly different dialects of Hebrew and practiced different cultural traditions. Furthermore, the northern refugees brought their own religious texts and oral histories. Over time, these combined with southern traditions. Scholars believe this merger is the primary reason why stories featuring northern heroes (like Elijah, Elisha, and Hosea himself) were compiled and preserved inside the Hebrew Bible.
ellauri499.html on line 451: The Millerites expected Jesus to return around 1843 or 1844, based on Bible texts including Daniel 8:14, and one Hebrew calendar. When the most expected date of Jesus' return (October 22, 1844) passed uneventfully, the "Great Disappointment" resulted. Followers met in 1845 to discuss the future direction of the movement, and were henceforth known as "Adventists".
ellauri499.html on line 465: We who believe the Bible must recognize he is our adversary, Satan, who comes to destroy and devours people through persuasive arguments. We should teach our children to cultivate their intellects and equip them to refute unrevelated falsehood.
ellauri499.html on line 473: Historically, this text is famous for its use in Handel’s Messiah and as a foundational Christian proof-text for the bodily resurrection. However, in modern biblical scholarship, it is universally recognized as one of the most notoriously corrupted and grammatically broken passages in the entire Hebrew Bible.
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 106: If it is a surprise to learn that Lawrence originally conceived of Women in Love as a money-making pot-boiler, it comes as an endearing shock to read that James Joyce submitted some of his early work to the firm of Mills and Boon. There is no record of the reader’s report, beyond the fact that he rejected Dubliners as unsuitable material for the unique imprint of that publishing house. For his part, Lawrence had no doubt that the author of Ulysses was the real smutmonger of modern fiction. ‘My God, what a clumsy olla putrida James Joyce is!’, he wrote to Aldous Huxley, ‘nothing but old fags and cabbage-stumps of quotations from the Bible and the rest stewed in the juice of deliberate journalistic dirty-mindedness.’ To his wife Frieda he wrote, after reading Ulysses, that ‘the last part of it is the dirtiest, most indecent, obscene thing ever written’; and he later complained that Joyce had degraded the novel to the level of an instrument for measuring twinges in the toes of unremarkable men. Joyce’s reply to the charge that he was just another pornographer doing dirt on sex was to claim that at least he had never made the subject predictable or boring. He denounced Lady Chatterbox’s Lover — his title for Lawrence’s notorious novel — as a ‘lush’ production in ‘sloppy English’ and dismissed its ending as ‘a piece of propaganda in favour of something which, outside of DHL’s country at any rate, makes all the propaganda for itself’. It is a minor irony of literary history that both men were married at Kensington Register Office in London, although, unlike Lawrence, the Irishman allowed a decent interval of twenty-five years to elapse before the solemnisation of his nuptials.
xxx/ellauri086.html on line 230: Smoking is not expressly forbidden anywhere in the Bible. There is a veritable who’s who list of Christians who smoked. One of the greatest preachers and evangelists of the 19th century loved his cigars. He was Charles Spurgeon. Other famous Christians who smoked or still do are J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Chuck Colson, Johann Sebastian Bach, Billy Graham, and Jerry Farwell (although the last two quit in their latter years). This article has addressed all types of tobacco: cigarettes, pipe, cigar, snuff, and chewing tobacco. Come to think of it, all these famous Christians are dead. Put that in your pipe and smoke.
xxx/ellauri086.html on line 238: The Bible is pretty silent about tattoos. Search any concordance and you will not find restrictions on abortions, on gambling, or on tattoos. So how do we know whether a thing is sin or not if the Bible is silent on a particular issue? Is it a sin to have a tattoo according to biblical principles? What about a Christian symbol like a cross for a tattoo? Surely that would be acceptable wouldn’t it?
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 287: Currently, the most popular view is that the complete fulfillment of Jeremiah’s prophecy is for our time and will take place shortly through Iran’s defeat in the Battle of Ezekiel 38. But if that’s true, then the Iranian people will have to be scattered among all the nations following their defeat and then somehow regain God’s favor during Daniel’s 70th Week in order for the last verse to be fulfilled. There’s simply no good reason to believe this will happen. After one brief reference in Ezekiel 38:5, the future of Persia is never mentioned in the Bible again.
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 288: I think it’s reasonable to expect prophecies that have only been partially fulfilled in history to have their ultimate fulfilment in our future. The idea that a partial historical fulfilment points to a complete future fulfilment is a well established principle in the Bible. Two examples we’ve reviewed recently are Isaiah 17 and Psalm 83. The literal and complete fulfilment of these prophecies has not happened yet.
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 293: LET’S TRY TO BE MORE CAREFUL. I think there are a number of people today who are guilty of interpreting Bible prophecy in light of current events when the reverse is supposed to happen. We are supposed to interpret current events in light of Bible prophecy. These people read the world news and then scour the Bible for prophetic verses that seem to fit without fully researching their history to see to what extent they’ve already been fulfilled. Many of them are novices where Bible prophecy is concerned, but some should know better.
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 295: We also need to remember that Bible prophecy only illuminates world history where Israel is concerned. Great Empires have come and gone during Israel’s absence without so much as a hint of their existence in the Bible. Even the United States, by any measure the most successful of them all, is missing from the prophetic record. You can’t tell me God didn’t know these empires were coming, so their absence has to mean that He sees them as irrelevant to Israel’s destiny. Don’t get me wrong, He has used them all to advance His plan for His people, and they were all blessed through their time of participation. But He didn’t find any of them worthy of mention because He didn’t actually need any of them to fulfil His plan.
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 297: I frankly can’t say how or when God will restore Elam’s fortunes. But based on what I know currently, I am not comfortable with the substitution of Iran for Elam in Jeremiah 49:34-39. The truth is, we don’t need Jeremiah 49 to know what will happen to Iran, and the Bible doesn’t say how or when Elam’s fortunes will be restored. The only thing we know for sure is that God said it and therefore He will do it.
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 305: One of the people groups they "eliminated" was the Rephaites (Rephaim), an ancient group of loosely related tribes of giants who are often thought to be descendants of the Nephilim, mentioned in Genesis 6. In fact, when the 12 Israelite spies first went into the promised land they reported seeing Nephilim there (Numbers 13:33). The Rephaites were a mysterious people about whom the Bible says very little, except that Israel, Edom, Moab, and Ammon were all given the task of destroying them and taking their land.
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 676: The modern use derives from an account in the Hebrew Bible, in which pronunciation of this word was used to distinguish Ephraimites, whose dialect used a differently sounding first consonant. The difference concerns the Hebrew letter shin, which is now pronounced as [ʃ] (as in shoe). In the Book of Judges, chapter 12, after the inhabitants of Gilead under the command of Jephthah inflicted a military defeat upon the invading tribe of Ephraim (around 1370–1070 BC), the surviving Ephraimites tried to cross the River Jordan back into their home territory, but the Gileadites secured the river's fords to stop them. To identify and kill these Ephraimites, the Gileadites told each suspected survivor to say the word shibboleth. The Ephraimite dialect resulted in a pronunciation that, to Gileadites, sounded like sibboleth. In the King James Bible the anecdote appears thus (with the word already in its current English spelling):
xxx/ellauri114.html on line 732: According to the Table of Nations in Genesis 10 (verses 15-19), Canaan was the ancestor of the tribes who originally occupied the ancient Land of Canaan: all the territory from Sidon or Hamath in the north to Gaza in the southwest and Lasha in the southeast. This territory, known as the Levant, is roughly the areas of modern-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, western Jordan, and western Syria. Canaan's firstborn son was Sidon, who shares his name with the Phoenician city of Sidon in present-day Lebanon. His second son was Heth. Canaan's descendants, according to the Hebrew Bible, include:

xxx/ellauri149.html on line 382: Jesus Christ Superstar is a Rock Opera and (subverted?) Passion Play by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice. Originally released as a Concept Album in 1970 (when Lloyd Webber and Rice were still in their very early twenties, no less!), it made its way to the Broadway and London stage in 1971, and was adapted into a film directed by Norman Jewison in 1973. An updated version was recorded sometime around 2000 by Webber's Really Useful Group for PBS. A filmed version of the UK arena tour starring Tom Munchin as Judas was released on DVD and digital in 2012, and a live adaptation starring John Lennon as Jesus, Sara Bareilles as Mary Magdalene and Alice Cooper as Herod that aired on NBC in 2018. The show lives on in stage productions and tours (and even non-theatrical tribute albums from fans who were more attracted to it as an album than a show) to this day. Inspired by… The Four Gospels of The Bible (specifically the arrival in Jerusalem and subsequent crucifixion of Jesus), it chronicles the last seven days of Jesus' life, focusing mainly on the characters of Jesus, Judas and Mary Magdalene. It's regarded among Andrew Lloyd Webber's best works, which is not saying much. It's a pseudo-sequel to Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, though this took a bit more liberty with the source material and is considerably less playful.

xxx/ellauri165.html on line 135: Matthew was using the Greek version of the Old Testament. In the Greek Old Testament, the original Hebrew word “almah” had been translated as “parthenos”, thence into the Latin Bible as “virgo” and into English as “virgin”. Whereas “almah” means only “young woman”, the Greek word “parthenos” means physically “a virgin intacta”. In short, Mary was said to be a virgin because of an accident of translation when “young woman” became “virgin”. More on this key teratological distinction in album 416.

Whether or not Moses' staff was the same as that used by his brother Aaron (known as Aaron's rod) has been debated by rabbinical scholars.

Acclaimed for his ability to present the basic meaning of the text in a concise and lucid fashion, Rashi appeals to both learned scholars and beginner students, and his works remain a centerpiece of contemporary Jewish study. His commentary on the Talmud, which covers nearly all of the Babylonian Talmud (a total of 30 out of 39 tractates, due to his death), has been included in every edition of the Talmud since its first printing by Daniel Bomberg in the 1520s. His commentary on Tanakh—especially on the Chumash ("Five Books of Moses")—serves as the basis for more than 300 "supercommentaries" which analyze Rashi's choice of language and citations, penned by some of the greatest names in rabbinic literature.

The French monk Nicolas de Lyre of Manjacoria, who was known as the "ape of Rashi", was dependent on Rashi when writing the 'Postillae Perpetuate' on the Bible. He believed that Rashi's commentaries were the "official repository of Rabbinical tradition" and significant to understanding the Bible. De Lyre also had great influence on Martin Luther.

Pian kirkon avaamisen jälkeen Falwell aloitti viikoittaisen puolen tunnin radio-ohjelman ja vain kuuden kuukauden kuluttua Old-Time Gospel Hour lähetettiin ensi kertaa televisiosta. Falwellin seurakunta kasvoi tasaisesti ja sen ympärille perustettiin pian alkoholistiasuntola, kristillinen kesäakatemia ja leirikeskus. Vuonna 1971 Old-Time Gospel Hour pääsi kansalliseen levitykseen. Falwell määritteli itsensä alun perin fundamentalistiksi ja perusti jopa julkaisun tämän nimityksen alla.

In his works, he sought to synthesize the thought of St. Augustine and Descartes, in order to demonstrate the active role of God in every aspect of the world. Kuolleenasyntynyt ajatuskin! Malebranche is best known for his doctrines of vision in God, occasionalism and ontologism. Because of a malformed spine, Malebranche received his elementary education from a private tutor. Having rejected scholasticism, He eventually left the Sorbonne, and entered the Oratory in 1660. There, he devoted himself to ecclesiastical history, linguistics (no tietysti), the Bible, and the works of Saint Augustine. Malebranche was ordained a priest in 1664.

He soon acquired fame on the lecture circuit for his novel oratorical style in which he employed humor, dialect, and slang. Over the course of his ministry, he developed a theology emphasizing God's love above all else. He also grew interested in social reform, particularly the abolitionist movement. In the years leading up to the Civil War, he raised money to purchase slaves from captivity and to send rifles—nicknamed "Beecher's Bibles"—to abolitionists fighting in Kansas.

Ashkenaz is the first son of Gomer, and a Japhetic patriarch in the Table of Nations. In rabbinic literature, the kingdom of Ashkenaz was first associated with the Scythian region, then later with the Slavic territories, and, from the 11th century on, in a manner similar to Tzarfat or Sefarad. Tzarfat (Hebrew: צרפת) is a Biblical placename that may refer to Sarepta in Lebanon. In later times, it came to be identified with France. It is still the name of France in Modern Hebrew, and is analogous to Sefarad, and Ashkenaz. Sepharad (/ˈsɛfəræd/ or /səˈfɛərəd/; Hebrew: סְפָרַד Səpāraḏ; also Sefarad, Sephared, Sfard) is the Hebrew name for Spain.

The valley is named after the large and shady terebinth trees (Pistacia atlantica) which are indigenous to it. David ja Goljat mutustelivat siellä pistaasipähkinöitä ennen matsia.

Goliath was possibly the most notorious Philistine. Goliath was said to be eight feet tall, with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot. Based on this Bible story, the evil Goliath, who was a Philistine, was stopped by the brave Israelite. Nevertheless, why was Goliath so massive? Where his parents giants, too? DNA would be able to reveal the truth. The earliest Philistines probably did come from places like Greece, which, at the time, was undergoing a social collapse. They may have taken to the seas to try to escape political turmoil and perhaps large-scale persecution, not unlike refugees today. For example, some deceased Philistines were buried with perfume jars under their heads.

Farisealaisten tapaan he painottivat hurskauden merkitystä ja päivittäiseen elämään liittyvien pikku syntien välttämistä. Sielua pidettiin kuolemattomana, mutta farisealaisista poiketen he eivät uskoneet siittimen ja emättimen ylösnousemukseen. Washingtonin Museum of the Bible -museossa säilytetystä 16:sta käärön kappaleesta viisi osoittautui todennäköisesti moderneiksi väärennöksiksi, joten museo otti ne pois näytteiltä vuonna 2018.

xxx/ellauri446.html on line 142: Now that we’ve learned a bit about the “Wiccan Way,” it’s important for us to understand the Bible way. Most people that are attracted to the occult are ill-informed about what the Bible teaches. One thing Wiccans got right is that there is a supernatural world that interacts constantly with the world we see, touch and smell. Unfortunately, they believe its okay for humans to interact with spirits and spiritual forces any way we choose. No way. We choose, you follow.
xxx/ellauri446.html on line 144: Many Wiccans say that Wicca is harmless and nature-loving — that it has nothing to do with evil, Satanism and dark forces. But that is exactly what Satan wants them to believe! Satan is very harmful! As Peter, Paul and Mary said before Peter got the rap for pedophilia: Their end will be what their actions deserve. Jesus knew the Bible and quoted it all the time, why not, he wrote it. It's okay to write in your bible. But witchcraft is strictly ruled out in leviticus and in deuteronomy. I am your lord, do not accept any substitutes. Exclusivity is a major part of monotheism. Do like Elijah and kill 500 prophets of the competitor.

A man who hid a hundred prophets and received the gift of prophecy in return. Bible scholars give Obadiah mixed reviews. Some see him as a believer who was “doing the best he could in a bad situation.” After all, they say, he did risk his life to save the prophets of the Lord from Queen Jezebel. Mutta Obadja väpelöi kuin Ilja käski mennä kertomaan Ahabille Iljan whereabouts.

xxx/ellauri446.html on line 650: Olipa törkeää. Otetaanpa uudestaan. Efraimin vuoristosta kotoisin olevalla leeviläisellä oli sivuvaimo, joka jätti hänet ja palasi isänsä taloon Betlehemiin Juudaan. Kuningas Jaakon version ja Uuden kansainvälisen version mukaan sivuvaimo oli uskoton leeviläiselle; Septuagintan ja Uuden elävän käännöksen huomautuksen mukaan hän oli "vihainen" tälle. Rabbiinisten tulkintojen mukaan nainen oli sekä peloissaan että vihainen miehelleen ja lähti, koska tämä oli itsekäs ja asetti mukavuutensa vaimonsa ja heidän suhteensa edelle, ja Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges väittää, että käännös 'vihainen' "sopii asiayhteyteen, joka viittaa naisen riitaan, mutta ei uskottomuuteen". JP Fokkelman väittää, että Tuomarien kirjan 19:11–14 on kiasma, joka perustuu siihen, että leeviläinen viittaa Jebukseen "muukalaisten kaupunkina, jotka eivät ole Israelista". Tällä tavoin kertoja vihjaa leeviläisten "itsekkyyteen ja härskiintyneeseen ryhmäegoismiin". Silti Jebuksen "muukalaiset" eivät tee hirvittävää rikosta, vaan Gibean benjaminilaiset. Tääkin pöyristyttävä #metoo tapaus mulla taisi olla joskin huonosti selitettynä jo jossakin, juu albumissa 398. Perusteellisempi paasaus löytyy albumista 171.

Ja että joka tapauksessa mikään kristinuskon pääsnoppi ei vaarannu näiden muunnelmien vuoksi.

xxx/ellauri472.html on line 243: The Bible shows that after the death of Solomon the kingdom was divided and both nations – Israel and Judah – fell into deep idolatry. Shortly before the removal of the northern tribes by Assyria, Ahaz was king in Judah and Pekah was King in Israel. The 2 Chronicles passage shows that Ahaz was a very wicked king and followed the pagan ways of the Israelite kings. What’s more, he sacrificed his children to the pagan gods. Thus YHVH sent Syria and the northern kingdom of Israel to punish him. The Syrians attacked Judah and carried away “a great multitude”, then Israel attacked, killing 120,000 Jewish soldiers in one day, and then took captive 200,000 women and children with the intent of making slaves of them even though that would have been contrary to the Torah injunction that forbids Israelites taking slaves of their Israelite brothers.
xxx/ellauri472.html on line 253: So who is your neighbor? At least in regards to the 'love your neighbor as yourself' passages in the Bible, your neighbor is one who has the same spiritual goals, aspirations, and walk as you. And how do we show our love to our neighbor? By being our 'brother's keeper' - helping him with his walk as he grows in the knowledge of God's way and the message of The Messiah.
xxx/ellauri474.html on line 390: Dans la première édition de son Dictionnaire historique et critique (1697), Pierre Bayle a présenté une analyse très critique et franche des faiblesses morales du roi David, s'appuyant sur les récits de la Bible elle-même. Son approche a consisté à : détailler les crimes et péchés de David. Bayle a mis l'accent sur des actions telles que le vol, le mensonge, la luxure (notamment l'affaire Bethsabée) et le meurtre prémédité (l'envoi d'Urie, le mari de Bethsabée, à la mort). — In brief, Bayle easily established from Scripture that David was beloved of God. And was saved and taken to God. The Bible leaves no doubt of that.

xxx/ellauri493.html on line 132: No no, in Christian theology, God does not have a physical body and is not actually an animal. The "mother hen" language used by Jesus is understood as a metaphor—a poetic way to describe God’s fierce love, comfort, clucking, and protective instincts. In the same way, the Bible calls God a "rocker," a "panty shield," and a "consumer fire." What is more, O Povo De Deus flier says each Christian is a "pedra angular" and "pedra de tropezo," especially Peter.
xxx/ellauri493.html on line 137: While Jesus compared his protective love to a hen, the Bible explicitly uses a different animal sacrifice metaphor for His death: The Lamb of God (John 1:29).

xxx/ellauri493.html on line 179: Linda Matchett on. Linda Matchett, what is the toughest part of writing in your genre? Well, romance writing can be somewhat formulaic – boy meets girl, girl meets boy, something pulls them apart, they get back together, repeat, until they experience their happily ever after. The hard part is coming up with a unique yet believable plot with characters a reader can relate to. Because I love happily ever after, I sometimes find it difficult to make my characters suffer. Like why did Jesus have to hang on the cross so long? What was that in aid of? Take Hill. My grandmother owned every single book of Grace Livingston Hill, and I was blessed to receive them when she passed away. Many sources tout Grace as a trailblazer in the Christian romance market, and I agree. It was natural for Grace to turn to writing when money became an issue. But Linda, what’s your go-to drink while writing? Jack Daniels, and lots of it! Bible has nothing against hard liquor, as long as you don't get drunk.
xxx/ellauri493.html on line 213: No — "tit for tat" (reciprocal retaliation) is not specifically Jewish. It appears in many cultures and legal systems. Jewish sources do include laws and teachings about reciprocal justice (e.g., lex talionis "an eye for an eye" in the Hebrew Bible) but rabbinic interpretation often limits, mitigates, or redirects literal retaliation toward monetary compensation, proportional justice, and ethical restraint. Jewish ethics also emphasizes forgiveness, mercy, and loving-kindness, so reciprocity in law coexists with strong counsels against simple retaliation.
xxx/ellauri493.html on line 219: No. Jewish teaching does not endorse hating your enemies. Jewish texts include laws and passages about righteous anger and reciprocal justice, but central teachings emphasize justice tempered by mercy, love of neighbor, and limits on revenge. Rabbinic literature and the Hebrew Bible also include commands to love the stranger, pursue justice, and show kindness; forgiveness and restraint are taught alongside lawful retribution. It is more fun to deal retributive justice, admittedly.

(2 Samuel 3:7–8) The quarrel led to Abner's defection to David, (2 Samuel 3:17–21) who was then king of the breakaway Kingdom of Judah. This incident led to the downfall of Ishbosheth and the rise of David as king of a reunited Kingdom of Israel.
