Happy Shavuot [CBD]

Unlike the only Jewish holiday in the American consciousness (Hanukah) Shavuot is actually a big deal.

It is the celebration of the day God gave us the Ten Commandments. Not a bad day to celebrate, although I apologize in advance if the commandments are triggering or microaggressive.

45 As the country overall becomes less religious it becomes increasingly popular to discount all religions as relics of the past. Old institutions like marriage and family and children have less importance, and 'sure, why shouldn't two gay guys be married?' replaces popular concepts like the Defense of Marriage Act.

The leftists and those indifferent to religion, with their self-proclaimed 'enlightened view', suppose that Islam will also fall by the wayside. Despite ever increasing evidence that a Reformation -- a return to a literal interpretation of the Koran and Hadith -- is fueling the fire burning through the Middle East and is certain to once again return to this country in some dreadful fashion.

I've been a follower of Robert Spencer and other writers on Islam for over a decade now and feel just as gloomy for our future as I did on September 11th, 2001. Perhaps even more so.

Sorry to be a bummer.

Oddly enough, there were oil wells all over LA. in the 1920's. And as far as earthquakes there, after the '71 quake things died down until the mid to late '80's. Then they started getting stronger and stronger, culminating in the Northridge quake. Lemme tell you, that wasn't fun.

First time I ever saw a "Jews for Jesus" bumper sticker, I was in DC, eons ago. I couldn't quite wrap my head around it, so I took a picture (I wasn't driving). I still don't understand it, but these days I'm a lot less concerned about how other people worship. I would not mind hearing it straight from someone who belongs though. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.

108 One theory I ran across was that "Thou shalt not covet (lo taHmod, in the old Hebrew)" *was* the Eleventh Commandment:
http://www.amazon.com/The-Nine-Commandments-Uncovering-Punishment/dp/0385499876

- in the sense that lo taHmod was intended as the coda for the preceding commandments. It says, "all that lo, lo, lo shit you ain't supposed to do? don't even fantasise about it, or there'll be *trouble*. now go read Deuteronomy about that."

109 Huh, just noticed, that H-m-d root is the same as in Arabic for... someone else.

110 10 commandments? That's too long and complicated.
But I like 3:
"Blessed are you, Hashem, King of the Universe, for not having made me a Gentile."
"Blessed are you, Hashem, King of the Universe, for not having made me a slave."
"Blessed are you, Hashem, King of the Universe, for not having made me a woman."

111 What's your point, multi ID poster? The Bible says something objectionable? Golly, or my stars and garter!!s Oh, poor dear. Let's ban it.!!
I notice you don't have the cones to post passages on the Koran you find objectionable, or maybe you don't find the Koran at all objectionable in anyway?

113 Are you a Jew, Flowervalley? If not, then why the angst? Are you a militant Atheist? How about a Neo nazi? Here's some commentary pn the 10 commandments from Chabad.-not that you;d actually read it and offer some intelligent commentary. You're just here to troll evidently:

You got your little attention fix for today. Go back to your purposeless life.

116 Neo-Nazi trolling as a liberal Jew is my first guess. They like to ~~slither~~ post in dead-threads that the mods might miss.

117 Good call, bth

They're even too much of a weenie to post on an active thread where they might get some response.

119 I was thinking recently about how the 10 commandments are guidelines to a happy life.
Consider how progs flout them and how bitter and unhappy they are as a natural consequence.

It's the other way around.

121 I have not always strictly conformed to the commandments. I am not worthy of entry to heaven. Or I wasn't until JESUS paid my sin debt, and my JESUS is not the one mohamadans believe is returning to kill all the Christians and Jews.

122 I feel so dirty, now that I have read the 10 Commandments again after all of these years, so thanks for the blog post, the thread, everything. I'm not on fire yet, but given the list of things that "thou shall not", I undoubtedly will be soon. So, fu*k it! If I'm gonna burn, then ...

123 Fenelon. You mentioned Andrew Murray (sp?)a while back. In my college days a long time ago I read a couple of his. I mostly remember Abide In Christ. I am also a big fan of Hannah Whitehal Smith (again spelling?) I often think of A Christian's Secret of a Happy Life and The God of all Comfort. Wish it could be more like that.

Posted by: Beth M at May 23, 2015 05:11 PM (kiy9d)

124 Only Hanukkah? Hardly!

I'm an atheist and I know Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Purim, Passover, Tu Bishvat and Tisha B'av. Though I had to look up spellings.

All through school, the goys got non-essential (but enriching and fun) lessons while the Tribe slacked off.

To be fair, I lived eight years in NYC.

126 Hi, Beth-

And a Blessed Pentecost to you. Yes, Andrew Murray has a lot of fine, fine books. I was mentioning "With Christ In The School of Prayer" ,although everything I have read by him has been excellent, if one can get past the slightly old fashioned language. I haven't read "Abide in Christ" though; I'll have to look for that. I have read "A Christians Secret to a Happy Life" and enjoyed that a lot.. I'm not sure what you mean by "I wish it could be more like that", dear sister ,but I will pray for you. We alls stand in the need of prayer. :^) You know, you can get a lot of these books on line. Consider reading them again and ask God to fill you with his spirit and renewal and continue to pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy spirit on the church, our communities , our country and the world.

127 Fenelon. It was a typo. .. wish I could be more like that. Thanks for the prayers. Mine is a complicated relationship with God but I my faith in Him for this country keeps me sane.

Posted by: Beth M at May 23, 2015 06:02 PM (kiy9d)

128 Oh forgot to add I still have some of the books.

Posted by: Beth M at May 23, 2015 06:03 PM (kiy9d)

129 Great; If you're anything like me you have boxes and boxes of books that take up too much space. ;^)
Dig some of them out and read them again. I always get a fresh infusion of spirit when I read these great old writers.

I am so glad your faith is a help to you.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 23, 2015 06:10 PM (1sJza)

130 Thanks. It's always nice to find someone who's read them, too. Good luck at your church conference.

Posted by: Beth M at May 23, 2015 06:13 PM (kiy9d)

131 Thanks,. Beth, I appreciate that.

Posted by: FenelonSpoke at May 23, 2015 06:18 PM (1sJza)

132 And again for the whatever time; In Hebrew: Exodus 20:13.
The proper word is Murder.

133 The Ten Commandments + the Great Commandment + the Second Great Commandment given by Jesus Christ = the Twelve Commandments which are the foundation of an ordered stable beneficial civilization and the path to freedom and peace.

Psalm 119 tells us how to regard these Commandments - as GOD's loving gift to humanity.

Jesus died to give us the new hearts and minds to be willing and able to follow these commandments and the path of salvation.

135 It takes a Neo-Nazi troll posing as a self-hating Jew or pro-Hamas campus libtard to mention that name on the Shavuot.

Posted by: FennelSpike at May 24, 2015 10:34 AM (wehPy)

136 Number 7 is on correct. The correct translation is " thou shall not murder."

137 Darn fat fingers and small phones. Typo. " number 7 is not correct"
