#easter #goodnews the spirits influence our minds!

20.3.21: relig/judaism/psy/schiz/the spirits influence our minds:
3.23..24: summary:
. according to Jewish biblical authors
(including the first Jesus followers)
spirits, demons, angels, or the national god
-- with a mind of their own --
are influencing your dreams and thoughts;
suggesting that the mind is more like a
radio receiver than a computer,
exchanging data with supernatural stations.
. I list some examples of this from bible,
and review the scientific evidence that supports it.

Genesis explains why human are without an os baculum

news.relig/judaism/
Genesis explains why human are without os baculum:
Megan Sauter February 18, 2020:
Ziony Zevit 2015 claims
The Biblical text says that Eve
was created from Adam’s tsela‘.
Although tsela‘ has traditionally been translated as “rib,”
Zevit argues that it is better translated as os baculum.
--
. "os baculum" is a bone used for penis erections,
in all primates except humans;
so Genesis might be a myth about
why humans don't have an erection bone,
just as it is a myth about other mysteries,
such as why childbirth is painful
and everyone has to die.

our fight is not with humans but with spirits

2019.12.4: relig/christian/
our fight is not with humans but with spirits:
. the current divisions between usa's political parties
(Repub's as christian or traditional;
and, the Dem's as liberal or modernist)
reminded me our primary fight is
not between countries (eg, usa vs Russia),
or democracies vs dictatorships,
but between the various spirits
that support opposing moral positions;
eg, the biblical vs anti-biblical,
or the modernist vs traditionalist.
. the bible of the early church
has some related verses.

#christian proof our #god does not hate #queers

9.5: relig/christian/proof our god does not hate queers:
. Rush Limbaugh on the radio reminds us
people who believe in the god
don't worry about global warming;
because, this place was made for us,
so, how could it be so easily destroyed
by such things as cow belching?
. also, I couldn't find it in his transcript
but I thought he said something
that seemed similar to the idea
that the god of the entire universe
hates unrepentant queers;
has Rush any idea
just how queer nature really is?

why is the sky blue? the #god

8.14: phi/metaphysics/why is the sky blue? the god:
. the universe is just a math model:
all the colors that I see it has
are actually coming from my own soul;
but I wouldn't know what to do with all my colors,
without the god's assignments
telling me how to arrange them.
. our soul's color blue has been assigned to
EM wavelengths of 430 to 450 nanometers,
or a frequency of 7.03x10^14 Hz.
8.15: web:
. usa's gov explanation of why the sky is blue
has nothing to do with perceiving blue;
the question they answer is
"why is the sky emitting EM at 7.03x10^14 Hz?"

all men are wise; no men are wise

6.4: relig/god/all men are wise; no men are wise:
"all men are wise; no men are wise."
these might seem to be opposites:
for all x, p(x);
for all x, not p(x);
but, the negation all x is some x are not:
not (for all x, p(x))
= for at least one x, not p(x));
and, the negation of no x is some x:
not (for all x, not p(x))
= for at least one x, p(x)).
. most would agree that neither is true:
what is true is that
some but not all men are wise.
. however here is how both statements
could be true, when taken together:
wisdom comes from the god;
ie, the prophets are wise;
and the god could make all men prophets;
ie, all men could potentially be wise;
but no man has the power to be wise:
that power comes from the god alone.

how could Abraham's ram get trapped in a thicket? the way of the Azazel

3.2: relig/judaism/
how could Abraham's ram get trapped in a thicket? the way of the Azazel:
Genesis 22:13
And lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw a sheep
fixed by its horns in the brushwood:
and Abraham took the sheep and
made a burned offering of it in place of his son.
[YESHAYAH(Isaiah) 53:8]

. how could a ram get its horn caught in the bushes?
notice the ritual of the scapegoat
in which a goat is pushed over a cliff;
that is how a ram could get its horns
into but not out of a thicket.

one taken while the other close by remained

web.relig/christian/one taken while the other close by remained:
11.12: summary:
. the christian bible talks about
the coming day of judgment,
when people working close together
and even family members
will be separated by the judgment.
. when Jesus said "Whoever is not with me is against me":
he meant you cannot have no opinion of Jesus
when family is against him.

prophets don't need to be perfect

2017.12.14: 2018.7.31: relig/liberal/
prophets don't need to be perfect:
. all prophets have moments of inspiration
that may be the word from the god
but they are also influenced like the rest of us
by the devil(god of this world)
and personal or national opinions.

#Chinese calendar similarities to #Judaism

1.1: web.relig/judaism/Chinese calendar:
. the Chinese calendar has some
similarities to the Jewish calendar:
it is lunisolar, with some holidays on
the 15th (full moon),
eg, the Lantern Festival
is on Chinese calendar's 1.15.
eg, Mid-Autumn Moon Festival (month 8)
[In 2018 it's on September 24th.]
eg, Ghost festival (month 7).
[2018 date August 25]
. but the Chinese year starts differently,
with the new moon near the midpoint
between winter solstice[12.21]
and spring equinox[3.20]
--or the new moon between 1.21 and 2.20
. and the day starts at midnight not sundown.

#Hanukkah Jonathan Cahn`haNOOka

12.4: tv.relig/judaism/Hanukkah/
Jonathan Cahn`haNOOka:
Jonathan Cahn (NOVEMBER 29, 2017)`
Hanukkah foreshadows the Antichrist
. he says Hanukkah is about rising up
to protect your culture from
being eaten by a One World Order,
and he wants us to fight back
against modern liberal values.
. Cahn is supporting Christianity
but he is a also a good source of
Jewish culture.

the cross(product) has set you free

9.19, 10.26: psy/parapsy/relig/christian/
the cross(product) has set you free:
. there is a subconscious part of self
that comes from the devil and the god
that influences our decisions and emotions
because the universe was made to define
the indefinite experience
(an infinite diversity of experiences)
that involves feeling both good and evil.

what does the #god want?

9.4: relig/jc/what does the god want?:
. Jesus said all law comes from just 2 laws:
# love the god (obey its commandments),
# love community members as self;
eg, it may be nice to agree with neighbors
but they may want things the god forbids.
. but who knows what the god wants?
Jesus had to assume prior Judaism prophets
knew what the god wanted;
but does the god really hate homosexuals?
how do we distinguish god from devil?
2 main requirements according to Dream theory:
# survival of community
or evolution of an intelligent species;
# diversity of experience.

laws against the #paranormal #judaism #christianity

6.1: 6.6: news,web.relig/judaism/
laws against the paranormal:
. in case you were wondering why
remote viewing and ESP could be considered
pseudoscience despite overwhelming evidence;
historically science had been dominated by
Christians (following the god of Judaism,
who commanded that remote viewing and ESP
are secret arts punishable by death or stoning).

the fundamental theory of #Judaism #passover

4.9: 4.10: relig/judaism/the fundamental theory of Judaism:
summary:
. passover is about fulfillment of the god's promise
to use Egypt to build the blessed nation,
not about a savior for the enslaved.

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).

#Jesus all the good are gods

2016.12.10: 12.13: 2017.3.28:
relig/jc/all the good are gods:
Jesus said "you call me good ?
nobody is good but the god";
when I first heard that it seemed obvious
he was detecting sarcasm;
"you call me good as if that is in question.
ok, nobody is good but the god
and we both agree I'm not the god."
. but a radio preacher pointed out otherwise:
Jesus did indeed believe he was the god;
because he was faithful to the will of the god;
in fact, in defending this Jesus said:
do the scriptures not say
to those whom the word of the god came,
they are all gods?
. any faithful Judaist follows, and upholds,
the word or will of the god;
so they would be considered gods:
representations of the good god.
. so you could still say he detected sarcasm
but his response was this:
"you question I'm good but what is good?,
only the word of our god is good;
we agree on this."
. all good people are the good god:
emotions come from the gods;
and, when we have emotional reasons
for doing the will of the good god
we are driven by the good god:
we are the same as the good god,
because we are the hands of that god.

Dr. Joel M. Hoffman`The Bible Doesn't Say That

2.12: web.relig/bible/Dr. Joel M. Hoffman 2016`The Bible Doesn't Say That:

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
