Oh, my apologies then. TyrReborn Send a noteboard - 04/09/2023 07:46:57 PM


Jacob grandson of Abraham, Jacob son of Issac and I was going to explain the religious significance of that Mountain. Mount Gerizim also called Aargaareezem. Mount Gerizim which had a holy temple built onto it, that is mentioned in 2 Maccabees 6, whose temple was destroyed not by the Selucid empire but was destroyed by 150 years prior to Jesus and the Samaritan woman by Hasmonean ruler John Hyrcanus (High Priest of the Temple of Jerusalem), how after the Maccabee revolution the kingdom of who was and not Jewish is not the same as the body that recognized the temple in Jerusalem and thus the people of the temple of Jerusalem saw as strangers their fellow Jew and called them foreigners and destroyed holy temples dedicated to Yahweh for they were not pure enough.

Fair enough, but I am not doing this. I am destroying no temples, I am casting nobody out. I am warning them; God is very clear on this. Do not persist in your pride, lest your soul be lost.

As I said to mook, warning is not condemnation.

As long as my warning is heeded, I have done what I can. I can not change their mind, only they and God can do that. But I am compelled to warn them that their pride will destroy them. They do not know better than God.


I was going to explain the significance of John chapter 4, but also circle it about to Noah and then later Abraham with specifically Chapters 18 and 19 of Genesis. I was going to circle it about the concept of hospitality and the Greek word Xenia, a concept that is a Greek word the “stranger” yet is all over the bible in foreign (Hebrew) tongues, words like Ger Toshav.

Again, I understand, and point well taken. But you need to understand that within Christianity, it is hospitality to warn those of the flock who wander. It is love to chide those who grow arrogant, and say "do you really know what God intended? Or does only God know that?"



But whatever, words have no meaning, only glory? Only the exalted? Is that what you are saying? I can not tell anymore.

I'm saying God is Meaning; I am sad for those of you who wander lost in the wilderness with no guidance. I'm saying that as long as you wander searching for meaning here, you will not find it.

I'm saying this world is hollow and will pass away.

You're entitled to your optimistic view - 05/08/2023 04:24:33 PM 677 Views
You only think your view is realistic because you haven't studied enough history. - 06/08/2023 04:04:34 PM 715 Views

These facts would cause you to be denounced as a "putinite fascist"... - 07/08/2023 05:45:05 PM 656 Views

I just can't buy that the political and academic class will give up their grip so easily. - 08/08/2023 05:49:58 PM 647 Views
Academics have been pro Marxism for over 100 years. It's nothing new. *NM* - 08/08/2023 05:59:55 PM 315 Views
Maybe. But they've never been this spiteful or spoiled before. - 09/08/2023 01:29:30 PM 629 Views
No, they only recruited students to spy for the Soviets *NM* - 14/08/2023 06:18:58 PM 300 Views

Maybe not - 12/08/2023 03:38:50 PM 680 Views
Most of us don't really like "the gays," either. And referring to people as "blacks" is offensive. *NM* - 13/08/2023 12:34:32 AM 304 Views
... is referring to people as "whites" offensive? I really, really hope you say yes. *NM* - 14/08/2023 05:46:07 PM 349 Views
