5-star/a note on "religious schizophrenia":

problems with #bible as the primary authority

4.3: relig/jw.org/problems with bible as the primary authority:
. a problem with assuming bible is all god-inspired
and is a primary witness
is that although the god is known for
talking directly to humans
and thus could speak to all of us directly,
most of the bible authors are claiming that
the god talks to us through humans
who are known to be deluded by the demons,
or god talks to us through angels
who are known to be deceptive (demons).

Dr. Hoffman`The Bible Doesn't Say That:
40 Biblical Mistranslations, Misconceptions, and Other Misunderstandings
I heard the author on Too Jewish radio
and am commenting on his view of the bible.

. he said that while the bible discourages
certain (male) homosexual acts;
it doesn't say homosexuality is a sin.
. the bible says it's (pronounced toy-ee-vah)
which some interpret as "abomination"
but it means "taboo";
an abomination is universally inappropriate;
whereas a taboo is something that is
culturally inappropriate.

what is the point of that distinction?

at the beginning of separated gods

10.23: news.relig/judaism/bible/genesis/
at the beginning of separated gods:
genesis 1:1 (bbe, ojb, and my translation):
In the beginning of separated Elohim,
hashomayim (the heavens, Himel),
and haaretz (the earth).

first three words of the Bible In Hebrew:
b'reishit ([at the beginning of]),
bara ([separated]),
elohim ([gods]).

professor of exegesis Ellen van Wolde:
. the Hebrew word "bara"
should be translated as 'separated'.

politicalCompass.org`@addn is near @BernieSanders

11.15: proj.pol/politicalCompass.org`@addn is near @BernieSanders:
. I took a test from politicalCompass.org
that measures your position within
a political space of 2 dimensions:
an economic scale going from Left to Right
(from communism aka state-controlled economy
to neoliberalism aka liberated capitalism)
and a social control scale going from
libertarianism aka anarchy to authoritarianism.
following are the questions they asked me,
and my detailed response.
. the test allows only 4 responses:
strongly or mildly agree or disagree.
. they claim my location is shared by Bernie Sanders;
moderate anarcho-syndicalism (libertarian socialism);
although I'm sure we have some major differences,
such as my belief in childrens' rights to
parents without genetic diseases (eugenics).
. my Political Compass out of -10...+10:
Economic Left/Right: -5.5
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -5.13

no Hebrews from Egypt entered the Promised Land

4.9: 12.14: relig/bible/no Hebrews from Egypt entered the Promised Land:
summary:
. Moses would lead the people out of Egypt
but he would not be the one to
lead them into the Promised land .
. in fact, none of the Egyptian escapees
would enter the Promised land:
they raised a new generation in the desert
and only that generation would be
attempting to conquer the Promised land:

#bible #Exodus icon of expand&purge cycles

4.9: relig/bible/Exodus/icon of expand&purge cycles:
12.14: summary:
. Exodus is seen as a story of escaping slavery
but it is an icon of expand&purges cycles
that have occurred throughout history
at least until WWIII brings in a global union .

enslavement in Egypt prophesied (WWIII_2016_prophesied_too)

10.31: pol/purges/wwIII/relig/bible/enslavement in Egypt was prophesied:
. there is part of the old testament bible(gen 15)
where the father of Israel is warned centuries early
about his people being enslaved in Egypt;
. that is significant to our time,
because we were warned centuries ago,
of a prophesy for the year 5777 (Fall 2016)
that a new world order would emerge
(ie, Israel's messiah would come);
and that order likely will be installed only by
a great war; that would obviously be WWIII .
11.8:
. the messiah will come at a time of world-wide peace;
(see criterion# world-wide peace);
and that could only occur when there is just one army
acting only for the United Nations, or some other global government,
that can only be installed by world-wide war .

when gay is a sin

18: co.fb/relig/bible/when gay is a sin:

'Duck Dynasty' star makes anti-gay remarks
By Tim Molloy TheWrap 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson
is under fire for bashing gays in a GQ interview
in which he grouped homosexuality with
'drunks' and 'terrorists.'

. interesting [for a bible-thumping anti-gay]
to be worried about "sin";
because g-d promised us that the new law
would be written in our hearts;
and the law he wrote here said
we are to be worried about
eternal health of civilization;
and that means gay is good if not promiscuous;
because it doesn't threaten public health;
conversely, if we find out later that
married gay does have health risks,
then we can call it a sin .
  

#jesus #prophet not diety #I_and_my_father_are_one

6: relig/jc/I and my father are one:
. when Jesus said "I and my father are one"
[John 10:30]
he was saying that his policies were
one with the policies of traditional Judaism,
and one with the g-d of Israel .
[28: verse 35:
. he clarifies that "son of g-d" or "one with g-d"
is synonymous with "am the mouthpiece of g-d",
or "the word of g-d came to me" ]
. he claimed to be a prophet, not a deity,
one sent by the Father to bring Israel
back to the good graces of that Father .
win israel by first winning foreigners:
. when he wanted to save the world,
it was seen as the only way to save Israel,
as they seem obsessed with worshiping
foreign gods .

re: my 13.3.1 post:
I do believe Jesus was a great prophet
(I'm still learning about "messiah"s)
but before you think Psalms 22 is about him,
you should get a real translation of the bible!

Jesus' End Times prophesy (Matthew 24)

13.2.7.. 5.21: relig/bible/matthew 24:
5.20: summary:
. Matthew 24 is quoting Jesus
giving us hints about 2 end times:
# the Temple's destruction in 70AD,
# the Apocalypse of the current age
which might be around 2016.9.1
preceded by an antichrist war
that might begin on Ramadan (2013.7.9).

Genesis sync's with Dream Theory

10.22: relig/bible/Genesis creation narrative/sync's with Dream Theory:
. the genesis story's trees of life and knowledge
appears to be aware of
the same creation story that is told by
Dream Theory and the Perfection Plan .
. the story starts with the humans
getting into trouble with the Tree of Knowledge,
and that part is getting the spotlight,
but it is these 2 trees together
  -- Knowledge and Life --  that are
 the central theme of creation:
this universe could not have existed
unless it was capable of creating
the indefinite experience .

. the main reason we can't all see g-d,
is that g-d couldn't create every experience
if there weren't blind people walking into holes .

. ... and the Truth shall set you free ...
-- Jesus Christ .

12.30: summary:
. Genesis reminded me of the Dream Theory;
because, treeing Life represents
the ability to define experiences;
while treeing Knowledge represents
the evolution of technology
and the remembering of history
so that it wasn't repeated .
. without wars the technology would not grow;
and when the sun fizzled out,
the Tree of Life would have to start over
on a new planet from a new god-seed .
. to protect the Tree of Life from restarts,
the god needs to grow our Tree of Knowledge
to get us surviving off the planet;
but we would rather be peaceful farmers
rather than torturous or bored scientists;
so,  the god controls our emotions
for getting us to burn each other;
and, then the burned ones find preventives,
-- and everything else along the way .
. any way life tried for finding peace
the rotating sword of the god's emotion controls
would cut down those rational ways .

revelation's worshippers of wealth

7.7: news.relig/bible/revelation's worshippers of wealth:
. a radio preacher is saying the bible warns of
worshipping wealth vs god?
(he can't mean it warn against being wealthy,
so what does it mean?)
. I think this means using wealth to love only self;
wealth can also represent investing in arks (loving of future),
but vs god it means wealth wasted on vanities
as opposed to wealth used for god's purposes .
. some of the bible-mentioned wealth worshippers
are actually not wealthy at all:
dirt-poor in their drug or gambling addiction
yet these also may be the "(wealthy)
that the bible is warning us about .
. another version of vain wealth is anti-charity
when capitalism will promote desperation
-- an impoverishing level of overpopulation --
simply because it's good for the business .
web:
. the preacher started by mentioning
revelation 14:7-11:

7 In a loud voice he said, "Fear God, give him glory,
for the hour has come when he will pass judgment!
Worship the One who made
heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water!"
8 Another angel, a second one, followed, saying,
"She has fallen! She has fallen!
Bavel [Babylon] the Great!
She made all the nations drink the wine of
God's fury caused by her whoring!"

[whoring is selling sex (for this context
sex is god's tool for ensuring future by having
an escape from both culture death
and from species extinction
-- by allowing us to change genetically
in order to succeed in new environments;
if this gift is instead traded for vain wealth,
it actually endangers the future
by spreading blood-borne diseases )
hence whoring may be an icon of
worshipping money (idols)
instead of future (god) .]

9 A third angel followed them
and said in a loud voice,
"If anyone worships the beast and its image
and receives the mark on his forehead or on his hand,
10 he will indeed drink the wine of God's fury
poured undiluted into the cup of his rage.
He will be tormented by fire and sulfur
before the holy angels and before the Lamb,
11 and the smoke from their tormenting
goes up forever and ever.
They have no rest, day or night,
those who worship the beast and its image
and those who receive the mark of its name."

the oneness of good and evil

co.apt/relig/bible/the oneness of good and evil:
. in the bible, they portray god as
the reason for homo'intolerance:
they're saying it's not a rational hate, not of us .
. indeed, god and devil are portrayed by some prophets
as being one and the same thing;
but other prophets do refer to a devil
as if it's a separate entity;
so that may have been simply showing that
ideas about god have changed
across generations of bible writers;
but, I would tend to agree with the first prophet;
because, you can see the oneness of good and evil:
the good of peace tends to fall into
the bad of decadence, weakness, and death;
while the bad of war leads to the goods of
strengthening, survival, and life .

6.11: relig/bible/genesis/
tree of knowledge of good and evil:
. an important concept in knowing good from evil is
much of what is good is arbitrary
and depends only on what we've
agreed to call good vs evil;
ie, being attentive or well-read is often
much more important to social coordination
 than being thoughtful .
keywords: (reptilian, repeatable, fidelity).

6.4: co.apt/relig/we're all right for the wrong reasons:
. christ [as] the devil:
[7.27: the christians support privacy .]
. whose the elite? [why blame it on the rich?!]
privacy is the key (the root of all evil)
would you hide good works under a bushel?
[like Matthew 5:15]
. a republican or a democrat;
the 2 faces as the shield of the one thing,
whatever you do -- good or evil --
you save the game,
[7.27: of  stasis vs evolution,
personal freedom vs cultural survival ]
and feed the eternal dream .
