Er, OUG,
Perhaps you might like to give OLO’ers the chance to follow up on some of your links and your multiple posts? If you give us a couple of weeks before posting any more we might get the chance to at the very least do a “mind if I cut in?” Make a cupper, sit down, read the bible to keep yourself occupied and put on a pair of boxing gloves and stay away from your keyboard. Otherwise just take over the whole thread and we can just sit back and watch you have a marvelous chat with yourself! Thanks. Posted by spindoc, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 4:37:02 PM

My friend I am sure to offend you and others.
Yet hid from my duty to be accountable for my actions amongst your mob once. No more committed Christian than me. Ignoring the cash hungry TV evangelists. Even those sent to prison. And ignoring too why so many Gods if only one made us. Was God having a bad day, making so many others who claimed to be the one. To put us at one another's throats in all of history in the names of so many Gods, then why? What will heaven be like, billions on their knees forever totally loving a God, why? Are my rights to follow my non-belief as right as yours to be you? My Christmas is a continuation of what it was before the Christ Myth. A drink a laugh boxing day cricket and? spending time with the family. Posted by Belly, Thursday, 28 November 2013 6:15:32 AM

Dear Johan (OUG),
Thanks for your early Christmas messages. Here's one for you: "The outback was buzzing with wonderful news A wallaby passed it to two kangaroos Spiny echidnas emerged from the ground Busy young bandicoots bounded around A web-footed platypus gazed at the view Some fluffy-tailed gliders looked longingly too Carolling kookaburras laughed with delight Crimson rosellas sang right through the night Along loped an emu as though in a dream Koalas stopped munching to show their esteem Dancing grey brolgas stepped forward and bowed Bright-crested cockatoos chattered aloud A possum quite joyfully pricked up one ear And wide-eyed with wonder a wombat crept near The stars of the Southern Cross pointed the way To the Babe who was born on that first Christmas Day." Joy to The World! Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 28 November 2013 10:53:17 AM

Foxy and you One Under God are good people.
Foxy,s out back tale has every bit as much truth in it as the God Myths. Hoping both and for that matter every one enjoys the Bacchanalia as much as I will. Posted by Belly, Thursday, 28 November 2013 12:57:20 PM

Dear Belly,
Thanks for your well wishes and here's Wishing you Everything that's Beautiful in Life. May your spirit keep smiling and your soul continue to dance to good music! Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 28 November 2013 3:43:23 PM

Yeah
Joy to all the abused little children? Joy for all the advances stopped? Joy for all the women maligned and mistreated for working/using their free will/having an abortion etc etc? Joy to the homosexuals that they hate with a passion? Joy for all their riches and lucre? Joy for all the wars and conflict? I dont see any joy in your insane belief in some superman in the sky. It is just an excuse to be nasty and intolerant and filled with hate while pretending you are oh so loving and kind and peaceful. Makes me want to vomit! Posted by mikk, Thursday, 28 November 2013 4:35:55 PM

Dear Mikk,
Don't you know that you can only be responsible for your own actions and not those of other people? And each of us can make a difference with a loving heart. There's enough hatred in the world. You words don't speak kindly of you. Blaming others is not a solution. Look to yourself and what's in your own heart and take responsibility for it. What others may or may not do is not anything you have control over. Only yourself. And how you behave is how you will be judged by others. So far your look is not good. But you can always improve.

cont'd ...
Dear Mikk, As for wanting to vomit? Please go ahead. It just may help you feel better and it may also get rid of the bile currently spouting from your lips and being directed at people whose religious beliefs (or lack of) you actually don't know anything about Posted by Foxy, Thursday, 28 November 2013 6:12:49 PM

Realities are more important than ideas
231. There also exists a constant tension between ideas and realities. Realities simply are, whereas ideas are worked out. There has to be continuous dialogue between the two, lest ideas become detached from realities. It is dangerous to dwell in the realm of words alone, of images and rhetoric. So a third principle comes into play: realities are greater than ideas. This calls for rejecting the various means of masking reality: angelic forms of purity, dictatorships of relativism, empty rhetoric, objectives more ideal than real, brands of ahistorical fundamentalism, ethical systems bereft of kindness, intellectual discourse bereft of wisdom. 232. Ideas – conceptual elaborations – are at the service of communication, understanding, and praxis. Ideas disconnected from realities give rise to ineffectual forms of idealism and nominalism, capable at most of classifying and defining, but certainly not calling to action. What calls us to action are realities illuminated by reason. Formal nominalism has to give way to harmonious objectivity. Otherwise, the truth is manipulated, cosmetics take the place of real care for our bodies.[185] We have politicians – and even religious leaders – who wonder why people do not understand and follow them, since their proposals are so clear and logical. Perhaps it is because they are stuck in the realm of pure ideas and end up reducing politics or faith to rhetoric. Others have left simplicity behind and have imported a rationality foreign to most people. 233. Realities are greater than ideas. http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/francesco/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20131124_evangelii-gaudium_en.html#Realities_are_more_important_than_ideas Posted by one under god, Friday, 29 November 2013 6:31:05 AM

This principle..has to do/with incarnation..of the word/and its being..*put into practice:..“By this you know/the Spirit of God:..every spirit..that confesses that/Jesus Christ..is come in the flesh..is..from God”(1 Jn 4:2).
The principle of reality,..of a word..already made flesh..and constantly striving..to take flesh anew,..is essential to evangelization. It helps us to see/that the Church’s history..is a history of salvation,..to be mindful of those saints..who inculturated the Gospel in the life/of our peoples..and to reap the fruits/of the Church’s rich..bimillennial tradition,..[without pretending to come up with a system of thought..detached from..this treasury,..as if we wanted to reinvent.the Gospel.] At the same time,..this principle..impels us to put/the word into practice,*..to perform works..of justice and charity..which make that word fruitful...TO/Not to put.the word into practice,..to/not to make it reality,..is to build on sand,..to remain in/the realm of pure ideas..and to end up..in a lifeless..and unfruitful self-centredness and gnosticism. The whole..is greater..than the part 234. An innate tension..also exists between..globalization and localization...We need to pay attention.to the global so as to avoid narrowness..and banality. Yet we also..need to look to/the local, which keeps..our feet..on the ground. Together,..the two prevent us..from falling into..one of two extremes...In the first,..people get caught up in an abstract, globalized universe,..falling into step behind..everyone else, admiring..the glitter of/other people’s world,..gaping and applauding at all..at..the right times.[like..trained/beast..reacting/tothe crack..of a whip]. At the other extreme,..they turn ..into a museum of local folklore, a world apart,..doomed to doing/the same..mundane..mindless/unthinking/things over and over,..and incapable..of being challenged by novelty or appreciating..the beauty which God bestow.. beyond their/own..narrow/mind..projected-borders. 235...The whole is greater..than the part,..but it is..also greater than the sum of its parts...[and each/part..is vita;]..There is no need,..then,..to be overly obsessed with limited..and particular questions. We constantly..have to broaden/our horizons..and see the greater good which will benefit us all...But this has to be done without evasion or uprooting...We need to sink our roots..deeper into the fertile soil..and history of our native place,[cultural/custom..which is a gift of God..wrought..by our beloved..departed.

Through an exchange..of gifts,secrets].the Spirit
can..lead us ever more fully..into truth and goodness. Relations/with Judaism 247. We hold the Jewish people in special regard because their covenant with God has never been revoked, for “the gifts and the call of God are irrevocable” (Rom 11:29). The Church, which shares with Jews an important part of the sacred Scriptures, looks upon the people of the covenant and their faith as one of the sacred roots of her own Christian identity (cf. Rom 11:16-18). As Christians, we cannot consider Judaism as a foreign religion; nor do we include the Jews among those called to turn from idols and to serve the true God (cf. 1 Thes 1:9). With them, we believe in the one God who acts in history,..and with them..we accept his revealed word. 248. Dialogue and friendship with the children of Israel are part of the life of Jesus’ disciples...The friendship which has grown between us makes us bitterly and sincerely regret the terrible persecutions which they have endured,..and continue to endure, especially those that have involved Christians. 249. God continues to work among..the people of the Old Covenant and to bring forth treasures of wisdom which flow from their encounter with his word. For this reason, the Church also is enriched when she receives the values of Judaism. While it is true that certain Christian beliefs are unacceptable to Judaism, and that the Church cannot refrain from proclaiming Jesus as Lord and Messiah, there exists as well a rich complementarity which allows us to read the texts of the Hebrew Scriptures together and to help one another to mine the riches of God’s word. We can also share many ethical convictions and a common concern.for justice and the development of peoples. Interreligious dialogue 250. An attitude of openness in truth..and in love must characterize the dialogue..with the followers of non-Christian religions, in spite of various obstacles and difficulties,..especially forms of fundamentalism on both sides. Inter-religious dialogue is a necessary condition for peace in the world,..and so it is a duty for Christians as well as other religious communities.

Jesus Christ truly lives...Put another way, “if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain” (1 Cor 15:14). We are invited to discover this, to experience it. Christ, risen and glorified, is the wellspring of our hope, and he will not deprive us of the help we need to carry out the mission which he has entrusted to us. 276. Christ’s resurrection is not an event of the past; it contains a vital power which has permeated this world. Where all seems to be dead, signs of the resurrection suddenly spring up. It is an irresistible force. Often it seems that God does not exist: all around us we see persistent injustice, evil, indifference and cruelty. But it is also true that in the midst of darkness something new always springs to life and sooner or later produces fruit. Each day in our world beauty is born anew, it rises transformed through the storms of history. Values always tend to reappear under new guises, and human beings have arisen time after time from situations that seemed doomed. Such is the power of the resurrection, and all who evangelize are instruments of that power Posted by one under god, Sunday, 1 December 2013 6:40:32 PM

VIII.The "Bright Nature" of man is taken away.THEN Adam wept and said, "O God, when we dwelt in the garden, and our hearts were lifted up, we saw the angels that sang praises in heaven, *but now we do not see as we were used to do; nay, when we entered the cave,[earth]..all THY..creation became hidden from us." 2 Then God the Lord said unto Adam, "When thou wast under subjection to Me, thou hadst a bright nature within thee, and for that reason couldst thou see things afar off. But after thy transgression thy bright nature was withdrawn from thee; and it was not left to thee to see things afar off, but only near at hand; after the ability of the flesh; for it is brutish." 3 When Adam and Eve had heard these words from God, they went their way; praising and worshipping Him with a sorrowful heart.4 And God ceased to commune with them http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/fbe/fbe018.htm cause..it..needs be put somewhere but would be out of place..elsewhere http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=6040#177355 and no-one cares..anyhow so..it passes..time. cain/exile http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/fbe/fbe084.htm then cain..moves on http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/fbe/fbe085.htm the best lies..yet need externals..of truth.. let..the dead tend..the dead Posted by one under god, Sunday, 1 December 2013 7:29:11 PM

Our biggest problem is our reactive mind. See... here's the truth of the matter; life is perfect. It is perfect for those who have perfected eyes. Perfected eyes are not an easy acquisition, nor is halting, arresting, the reactive mind.
If you are looking for the devil (let's hope not but... metaphorically speaking), you need look no further than your own mind. That is the seat of divisiveness and the agency of war upon yourself and others. Your mind is your biggest enemy and potentially, your best friend, once you are able to turn it right side up. Although many of us are born screwed up from the gitgo, one can easily say the majority of us are truly screwed up in the process of puberty, when the world divides on us into oppositional states which, is one of the reasons the Tribe inspired intentional gender confusions are pushed and proliferated from the initiation of public education. Their watch-phrase is; 'destroy the family unit'. After that it's Brave New World or The Penal Colony, depending on your choice of authors. Following that you got shitewits for lunch and 1984 on the menu. 'neti, neti' is probably a Zen thing; not this, no, not that either, more or less. So... you have to stand guard at the gateway of the mind, Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 6:18:37 PM

at that avenue where thoughts enter..and you have to reject everything that comes in..and also throw out whatever is there already. What you will find is that..once you've expelled the surface chatter..there is a whole other layer below..that and possibly yet more before you hit 'the beautiful silence'.
The logic behind this is that whatever is real is not going anywhere. Following a period of persistent practice,..the mind will be cleared of garbage.and you can spot the garbage bombs as they seek to enter in and turn your mind back into a landfill. The natural,.or supernatural state of the human mind is one of brimming optimism and enthusiasm..Tzu has a number of passages that relate to this...The image given, if we colloquialise or manifest it at street level is that of a fellow with an continuous tumescence (a man in full,..so to speak and women have their own version that manifests as wisdom, oracles..and a kinship with Lady Nature) and a song being sung through the whole of the day with no strain on the voice. I met such a person and such encounters are not easily forgotten. One could simply dismiss such a character and label them mad,..were it not for the forehead..and features that so exactly mirror those of the ancient Japanese and Chinese figurines that you may or may not have seen by now. It is easy to become disheartened at the amount of willful ignorance, apathy and appetite pursuit that surrounds you on all sides, as you attempt to make your way somewhere,..wherever somewhere is, ♫somewhere a place for us. Take my hand and yadda yadda♫. It's all set up to bring you down..It was one thing in the not recent past because then you could just migrate to another location, or step outside of it altogether..but now you have to deal with passports and permissions; countless government and social restrictions, on action and movement,.not to mention a relentless pay as you go system of enriching virtual vampires at every turn. In other words,..the squeeze is on. Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 6:22:16 PM

You have to set out upon your every day..in a consciously loving state of mind..and I am no less an offender in this regard than anyone else.
At least I can remind myself and it seems I have reminded myself ten thousand times ten thousand and I still veer to one side or the other if I don't have my attention fixed on my way forward...There's a great Hindu poster that shows a charioteer being drawn off the road by his team of powerful horses... These are symbolic of the senses. The chariot is the mind and the charioteer is the self...We can see this and we can know this but it seems like, in almost no time, that we forget it...It takes constant enforced remembering to stay on course. Few people have the stamina or the will for it and they pay a heavy price for not paying attention. ..As I have pointed out many times, or maybe this is the first time in this fashion,. the Major Arcana of Tarot symbolize archetypes;..actually, the first 7 symbolize forces or powers...The second 7 symbolize mediums and..the last 7 symbolize states or conditions brought about or corrected by the proper channeling of the forces or powers through the mediums. The Magician stands for 'focused attention' or 'concentration' and the dual meaning that attends the image is 'life and death'. This can be the result of paying attention and not paying attention so, pay attention. One can learn a lot from the sun. All the sun does is shine. It shines on everything. We should too and at some point it will shine through us...We should make the sun our shining example.*We are frozen sunlight...We are sunlight in extension. The whole point is to turn into conscious sunlight and reside in our solar bodies. This is the objective of The Operation of the Sun, as perfectly exemplified in the Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus. Wake up! I am always talking to myself..when I am engaged in my business here. It would be less..than effective were I not doing..so. Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 6:26:57 PM

The chariot of the body
The five horses represent the five senses (tongue, eyes, ears, nose and skin). The reins, the driving instrument, symbolize the mind. The driver is the intelligence. The passenger is the spirit soul. Bhagavad-gita 6.34 The chariot of the body. The five horses represent the five senses (tongue, eyes, ears, nose and skin). The reins, the driving instrument, symbolize the mind, the driver is the intelligence, and the passenger is the spirit soul. For the mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong, O Krsna, and to subdue it is, it seems to me, more difficult than controlling the wind. PURPORT The mind is so strong and obstinate that it sometimes overcomes the intelligence, although mind is supposed to be subservient to the intelligence. For a man in the practical world who has to fight so many opposing elements, it is certainly very difficult to control the mind. Artificially, one may establish a mental equilibrium toward both friend and enemy, but ultimately no worldly man can do so, for this is more difficult than controlling the raging wind. In the Vedic literatures it is said: atmanam rathinam viddhi sariram ratham eva ca buddhim tu sarathim viddhi manah pragraham eva ca indriyani hayan ahur visayams tesu gocaran atmendriya-mano-yuktam bhoktety ahur manisinah "The individual is the passenger in the car of the material body, and intelligence is the driver. Mind is the driving instrument, and the senses are the horses. The self is thus the enjoyer or sufferer in the association of the mind and senses. So it is understood by great thinkers." Intelligence is supposed to direct the mind, but the mind is so strong and obstinate that it often overcomes even one's own intelligence. http://www.asitis.com/gallery/plate23.html He would have referred to it not as Hindu but as God consciousness, specifically Krsna Consciousness for he detested the Impersonalists who refer to God only in the impersonal form, being voidists, nihilists, Isvara wannabes and ultimately crypto-demons as they are.

people are herd animals, and that when behavior is viewed in relationship to the herd mind, a lot of things can be explained and understood.
Have you ever had a discussion with them and come to the conclusion that no matter what you said, no matter how good your reasoning and logic, that there was no way that you were every going to have a meeting of the minds with this person. You can be right and the subject of your discussion so obvious that a dog with a note in his mouth could win the argument, yet this person can't comprehend it. And it's not that the cult member is to stupid to understand obvious reality. They may have a college degree, a good high tech job, and be a member of Mensa. You might even be able to discuss the mathematics of why time slows down as you approach the speed of light, yet they remain unconvinced that world is round. How is that possible? It's obvious, yet they can't see it. Why? Why? Why? We have already established that they are smart enough. They have the brain power to comprehend what you are saying. There's not a shred of doubt that you are right and they are wrong, so wrong that you can't believe that they actually believe what they believe. What's even more confusing is that this cult member is as adamant about his beliefs as you are about yours. If we assume that people are behaving far below their capacity to reason, then we have to conclude that reason is not the dominate aspect of the mind. We have to conclude that there are other factors in the brain that are dominate over our reason and these other factors cause us to behave and believe what we do. We have to give up the assumption..that because we are human and intelligent,..that intelligence rules. Clearly..it doesn't. But if/it doesn't,..what does? herd-mind..ergo..ego/re-call...of primitive/survivalist fears http://www.churchofreality.org/opinion/herd.htm Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 4 December 2013 10:28:30 PM

According to a report from Radio Vatican,
http://www.collective-evolution.com/2013/10/30/pope-francis-denotes-christianity-as-an-illness/ the Pope was quoted as stated the following: “In ideologies there is not Jesus: in his tenderness, his love, his meekness. And ideologies are rigid, always. Of every sign: rigid. And when a Christian becomes a disciple of the ideology, he has lost the faith: he is no longer a disciple of Jesus, he is a disciple of this attitude of thought… For this reason Jesus said to them: ‘You have taken away the key of knowledge.’ The knowledge of Jesus is transformed into an ideological and also moralistic knowledge, because these close the door with many requirements. The faith becomes ideology and ideology frightens, ideology chases away the people, distances, distances the people and distances of the Church of the people. But it is a serious illness, this of ideological Christians. It is an illness, but it is not new, eh?” http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/10/21/pope-francis-right-wing-christians/ Posted by one under god, Wednesday, 11 December 2013 7:51:32 AM

http://www.news.va/en/news/pope-francis-issues-peace-day-message
it appears clear that contemporary ethical systems remain incapable of producing authentic bonds of fraternity, since a fraternity devoid of reference to a common Father as its ultimate foundation is unable to endure. True brotherhood among people presupposes and demands a transcendent Fatherhood. Based on the recognition of this fatherhood, human fraternity is consolidated: each person becomes a “neighbour” who cares for others. “Where is your brother?” (Gen 4:9) 2. To understand more fully this human vocation to fraternity, to recognize more clearly the obstacles standing in the way of its realization and to identify ways of overcoming them, it is of primary importance to let oneself be led by knowledge of God’s plan, which is presented in an eminent way in sacred Scripture. http://www.news.va/en/news/popes-peace-day-message-presented-in-vatican is an indivisible good. Either it is the good of all or it is the good of none. It can be truly attained and enjoyed, as the highest quality of life and a more human and sustainable development, only if all are guided by solidarity as “a firm and persevering determination to commit oneself to the common good”. This means not being guided by a “desire for profit” or a “thirst for power”. What is needed is the willingness to “lose ourselves” for the sake of others rather than exploiting them, and to “serve them” instead of oppressing them for our own advantage. “The ‘other’ – whether a person, people or nation – [is to be seen] not just as some kind of instrument, with a work capacity and physical strength to be exploited at low cost and then discarded when no longer useful, but as our ‘neighbour’, a ‘helper’” Posted by one under god, Friday, 13 December 2013 5:50:06 AM

If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone.

You only have to mention Moses and his Ark and there is always one blasphemer who wants to insist its Noah who had the Ark. No,no,no Noah was the cool dude who lived inside the whale. What version of The Bible are you reading? I'm reading the King Tut version as revised by Brother Cyril in 1972. Just getting to the juicy part where Adam and Steve are making out in the back garden.

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. The little girl said, "When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah". The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?" The little girl replied, "Then you ask him" Posted by one under god, Saturday, 14 December 2013 6:36:28 PM

Christmas lights are banned in Cardwell North Queensland by the Local Council after Muslim Imam Adnan Janutab complained the 100 Muslims that attended his Mosque found the Christmas lights offensive.

George, Father Joe will be most disappointed at that bit of debunking of his Mussie nasty story. God, we were all waiting for the 'Usual Suspects' to jump on that one, demanding a new round of crucifixions.
OUG, I hope your little girl wasn't at a "Tykes" school as she would have a lot more to fear than a bloke in a whale. That good Christian, Father Fixemup in a dog collar would have been lurking around somewhere. I have only recently learned that my x sister-in-law was molested by a Catholic priest at primary school in the late 1960's, more than once. I wonder how many people out there have never came forward about these sicko's. She didn't want me to know because she knows how much I "love" the Catholic Church and she doesn't want to do anything about it. Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 14 December 2013 10:42:06 PM

<<NOT TRUE -- that Muslims were seeking to ban Christmas lights (not yet anyway!)>>
But here's something that is true. When the Greens get their fingers (out of the orifices they currently have them in and) on to the levers of power.One of the first things they intend to do is ban all Christmas lights, on account of their contribution to CO2 emissions and global warming. And as a further progressive innovation --designed to wean kids off the gratuitous consumption that masquerades as gift giving --all Santa Clauses thereafter will need to look like Bob Brown: http://whitelawtowers.blogspot.com.au/2011/07/bob-browns-glass-jaw.html#.Uqy6Byf86a4 PS Don't ask Paul to verify this rumour he is only a pleb in the Green hierarchy and is not privy to such secret clauses.

SPQR, one of the 'Usual Suspects' has graced us with a link to Whitelaw Towers, SPQR after 'Mein Kampf' that web site must be your favorite read. At least The Greens are big enough to have a hierarchy, unlike your party where there is Jim Saleam on top, with SPQR the Herman Goering of the party, and only other member, sitting at number two.

of/course..misunderstandings..can arise..[with-out/words]
The..Great..[silent]..Debate A..long-time..ago,..the Pope decided..that all..the Jews..had to leave Rome...Naturally there/was..a big uproar..from the/community. So the Pope..made a deal...He would/have..a..debate..with a/member of the..Jewish community...If..the Jew won,..the Jews could stay./.If the Pope won,..the Jews would leave...The Jews realized..that they had..no choice...so..They looked around..for a champion/who could defend..their faith,..but no-one..wanted to volunteer..[It was/too risky.] So they..finally picked..an old man..named Moishe,..who had/spent his life..sweeping up/after people,..to represent them...Being old and poor,..he had the least/to lose,..so he agreed...He asked/only for one condition..to the debate...Not being used/to speaking very much as..he cleaned up..around/the settlement,..he asked/that neither side be allowed..to talk...The pope agreed. The day of/the great-debate came...Moishe.and the Pope..sat opposite each/other..for a full minute..before the Pope..raised his hand..and showed..three fingers...Moishe looked/back..at him..and raised one finger...The Pope waved..his fingers..in a circle around his head. Moishe pointed..to the ground/where he sat...The Pope pulled/out a wafer..and a glass of wine...Moishe pulled/out..an apple. The Pope stood/up..and said,.."I give up...This man is/too good...The Jews..can stay."..An hour later,..the cardinals.were all around the Pope..asking him..what happened...The Pope said:.."First I held up three fingers..to represent..the Trinity." "He responded..by holding up..one finger..to remind me that..there was still..one God..common to both..our religions...Then I waved my finger..around me..to show him,..that God/was all around us...He responded..by pointing to/the ground,..showing that God..was also right here/with us." "I pulled out..the wine..and the wafer..to show that/Jesus absolves us..from our sins...He pulled out/an apple..to remind me..of original sin...He had an answer..for everything...What could I do?" Meanwhile,..the Jewish community..had crowded/around Moishe,.amazed that this old,..almost feeble-minded man..had done what all their scholars had..insisted was impossible! "What happened?"..they asked..."Well,"..said Moishe,."First he/said to me..that the Jews..had three days..to get/out..of here...I told him..that..not one of us..was leaving...Then he told me..that this whole city..would be cleared of Jews...I let him know..that we were staying right here." "And then?"..asked a woman. "I don't know,"..said Moishe... "He took out..his lunch..and I..took out mine...and..then..he..left." Posted by one under god, Sunday, 15 December 2013 3:38:12 PM

What Father Joe should be saying is "Sorry guys like all those bible stories my 'Muslim Nasty Story' was a load of rubbish." Just stick to posting bible bunk that will do.
Christmas for Puritan Christians in New England USA was culturally and legally suppressed. That's right folks a bunch of Christian fruit loops banned Christmas, no baby Jesus in the manger, no Christmas tree and certainly no LIGHTS. Puritan heaped contempt on Christmas, in fact on the first Christmas Day in the New World Puritans put their loathing for the day into practice, spending it building their first structure in the New World – thus demonstrating their complete contempt for the day. These are the same jolly folk who burn people at the stake for witchcraft. In reality these Christian fruit loops had it right. I'm sorry to disappoint but the whole Christmas nativity stuff, the stable, the manger, the wise men, the shepherds, the baby Jesus etc etc is another fairy story. To claim Jesus was born in a stable on December 25th 1AD has as much realism as if you claimed he was born on Mars February 29th 1066. Posted by Paul1405, Sunday, 15 December 2013 8:00:46 PM

Catholic Priest Gives Powerful Homily
on Just War Doctrine: Preemptive War & Regime Change "Totally Immoral" http://libertyfight.com/2013/Catholic_Priest_Homily_Just_War_Doctrine.html A traditional Catholic priest has given a powerfully persuasive homily outlining the Church's teachings on the Just War Doctrine and the immorality of preemptive war, explaining that war for 'regime change' or for vague, unproven reasons is always immoral and unacceptable under church teaching. Here are excerpts of what I considered the key points of the sermon, and link to the free audio MP3. He also urges young people to use prudence and careful analysis when deciding whether they should join the military. The 28-minute sermon, titled Military Service and Unjust Wars, is posted at AudioSancto.org. http://rinf.com/alt-news/breaking-news/media-works-to-keep-mass-shooters-profiles-secret/ http://www.veteransnewsnow.com/2013/12/15/if-talks-fail-boycotts-will-arrive-on-steroids/ Toxic Loophole: Israel refuses to give up chemical weapon stock http://xrepublic.tv/node/6579 http://12160.info/page/admits-murder-in-europe-sex-for-secrets http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/2013/12/are-too-many-kids-taking-antipsychotic-drugs/index.htm http://12160.info/profiles/blogs/secret-fdic-plan-to-loot-bank-accounts they can catch./.kids..but not bankers? this speaks volumes http://intellihub.com/2013/12/15/police-posing-as-11th-graders-arrest-25-students/ http://undergrounddocumentaries.com/the-bill-clinton-murders-bill-clinton-exposed/ revenue raising..plus spying;..onthe little fish ;[invasion..of privacy/abuse of power..somehow..govt can trap..you.. http://www.activistpost.com/2013/12/victory-license-plate-scanners.html but not the real capitalist..criminanal's.. reaping/plundering/looting govt and govt services..pensions..bank account;s http://12160.info/profiles/blogs/secret-fdic-plan-to-loot-bank-accounts http://www.kgw.com/news/Enrollees-report-erroneous-debits-by-WA-Healthplanfinder-235244701.html cop..beats inmate..to death http://www.rys2sense.com/anti-neocons/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=32918 http://www.thedailysheeple.com/student-suspended-for-a-year-for-gasp-hugging-a-teacher_122013 http://whatreallyhappened.com/IMAGES/obamacareposter.jpg http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2524003/The-great-Christmas-rip-Shoppers-end-paying-50-toys-retailers-increase-prices.html http://m.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/12/the-6-000-page-report-on-cia-torture-has-now-been-suppressed-for-1-year/282318/ The US-Israel Strategic Partnership Act -- a bill which critics said would have codified into US law discrimination against Arab and Muslim Americans at Israel's borders -- is "dead in the water," Arab American Institute said in a statement. http://www.maannews.net/eng/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=657008 http://alethonews.wordpress.com/2013/12/14/football-game-or-tear-gas-and-bullets-palestinians-put-racist-ad-to-test/ http://www.activistpost.com/2013/12/non-lethal-weapons-maker-under-fire-for.html http://investmentwatchblog.com/obamas-socialist-agenda-is-destroying-middle-class-greg-mannarino/ Posted by one under god, Monday, 16 December 2013 1:12:34 PM

Will the Pope..insist on..seeing Gaza[with/media]..this time?
CNN recently/reported on Israeli PM..Netanyahu’s reception..at the Vatican..and plans for..the Pope to visit Israel..in May. Recalling the shabby treatment..of religious leader.. on previous visits to the Holy Land,..let us hope Pope Francis..takes a firmer line..than his predecessor..and insists on seeing*Gaza and ministering..*to his terrorized flock there. In May 2009,..when Benedict/was Pope,..the Vatican told..the Israeli press that/the Holy Father..would refrain*from visiting Gaza...The word..‘refrain’..was a peculiar one..in the circumstances.”..Setting foot..in Gaza was/as sinful..as sneaking into a brothel,..it seemed. Israel’s hoodlums/of course..were keen to prevent/him seeing..how the tiny,..overcrowded enclave..had been devastated/16 months earlier by their murderous blitzkrieg,.of Cast Lead....And the,,then/Pope went along with it. Gaza’s isolated ..nd besieged Catholic community..were none too happy with the Pope’s attitude,..judging by the reaction..of their redoubtable old priest/Father Manuel Mussallam.;/“We will ask him why he came,..what he intends saying..to the Christians,..the Jews,..the Muslims...and why he isn’t coming to Gaza.” “We’ll tell him..that this is not/the right moment..to come and visit the holy places,..while Jerusalem is occupied,”..he added. Having decided to go to Palestine,..via Israel,..it was imperative for the Pope to include Gaza..or it would look like he didn’t give a damn..about the appalling persecution in the very land where Christianity was born...He might as well hammer one more nail into Christendom’s coffin. The last six years have seen things..go from bad to worse – much worse. Palestinians in the Holy Land,..and especially Gaza, need to be shown that the Christian Church cares about them even if nobody else does. Indeed, has it finally come to.the point where the Pope ought to do the decent thing and boycott Isral and join the BDS movement? Admittedly, ..it’s a tough call given the Catholic Church’s considerable interests out there. ..edited..we..were treated/to..the spectacle of..the Archbishop of Canterbury..joining the Chief Rabbi..on a visit to Auschwitz..to show joint solidarity*..against extreme..hostility and genocide...The Archbishop called it..“a place..of utter profanity” .and spoke/of the collective*corruption..and moral sickness*.that made..that Holocaust possible. Would..*the pair..show the/same spirit..of "righteous*solidarity"..by visiting Gaza? Posted by one under god, Friday, 20 December 2013 8:26:01 PM

OUG, have not the Americans told us, as well as the Zionists, that the Palestinians are the 'bad guys' in all this. Naturally, you cut off supplies to children, women, old people that's what the 'good guys' do!
Gaza, I hope it reminds the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto of 1942. As for the "Holy Father" to busy hiding the fornicators and pedophiles in his own church to bother "seeing for himself" what the criminals are doing to the innocent Palestinians. Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 21 December 2013 6:20:51 AM

Paul1405,
Palestinians are not a race of people they are the same genetics as Syrians, Lebanese and other Middle Eastern peoples. Israel can accommodate people from different races as they have done, but they cannot accommodate people with an agenda to physically destroy them. Travel through that land and you will find Jews and recent indigenous people working happily together. In fact Israel has two politicians sitting in Government who wants the removal of the State of Israel. It is the Muslim extremists and PLO political arm that cause them violent trouble. Travel through Syria, Lebanon and Egypt and see if peace and cooperation is present among diverse cultures. Posted by Josephus, Saturday, 21 December 2013 9:30:40 AM

OF THE BUILDING OF THIS TEMPLE
1. SOLOMON began to build the temple in the fourth year of his reign, on the second month, which the Macedonians call Artemisius, and the Hebrews Jur, five hundred and ninety-two years after the Exodus out of Egypt; but one thousand and twenty years from Abraham's coming out of Mesopotamia into Canaan, and after the deluge one thousand four hundred and forty years; and from Adam, the first man who was created, until Solomon built the temple, there had passed in all three thousand one hundred and two years. Now that year on which the temple began to be built was already the eleventh year of the reign of Hiram; but from the building of Tyre to the building of the temple, there had passed two hundred and forty years. 2. Now, therefore, the king laid the foundations of the temple very deep in the ground, and the materials were strong stones, and such as would resist the force of time; these were to unite themselves with the earth, The City of David is a Jewish settlement near the Dung Gate of the Old City. On occupied land, and resisted by the Palestinian neighborhood of Silwan, whose land it is taking.

Josephus, I hardly find that a very "Christian" attitude to children, women, old people, a non combatant population of 1.7 million people.
"It is the Muslim extremists and PLO political arm that cause them violent trouble." Maybe they are a little bit peeved about being kicked out their homes and into refugee camps by the invading Jews. Regardless of the above, how do you justify the persecution of 1.7 million people, children etc? Are they all "Muslim extremists", if they are not, then the Jews are doing a good job of making them that way. https://www.amnesty.org/en/news/israelopt-gaza-power-crisis-has-compounded-blockade-s-assault-human-dignity-2013-11-29 Posted by Paul1405, Sunday, 22 December 2013 12:34:38 PM

Paul,
If you had traveled in Israel near the borders of Gaza you would know that rockets are fired continuously about 6,000 p/a from Gaza brought in via tunnels from Egypt. Egypt has just also closed the tunnels into Gaza in an attempt to stop the rocket assaults on Israel. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/egypt-tunnel-blockade-takes-toll-on-gaza-business/2013/12/19/930007c2-60f3-11e3-8beb-3f9a9942850f_story.html Posted by Josephus, Sunday, 22 December 2013 1:32:47 PM

Josephus, what you say may well be true, probably is, can you comment on this statement;
“The blockade has collectively punished Gaza’s population in violation of international law. The power plant shutdown has further affected all aspects of daily life, and the Israeli authorities must lift the blockade immediately, starting by allowing urgently needed fuel supplies into the Strip and working with all relevant parties to avert a prolonged humanitarian crisis this winter.” How do the women and children, old people, babies etc, fit into your take on this "violation of international law" and "humanitarian crisis" Posted by Paul1405, Sunday, 22 December 2013 4:47:14 PM

Did you also read the other link. It doesn't give speculative political commentary that Israel wishes to crush Gaza.

Josephus, I do not deny that there are attacks on Israel coming from Gaza, the things you speak of are most like true, possible exaggerated for propaganda purposes, but essentially true.
But as a professed Christian surly you can see the wrong in what the Israelis are doing to the Palestinians. Two wrongs doesn't make a right. From day one the ordinary Palestinian people have been the forgotten people in the whole Middle East War. In war, any war, it's the innocent who suffer as much as anyone, if not more, that is why I oppose all wars, there is no such thing as a just war. Here is the atheist preaching to the christian.

Paul,
I had family [brothers children] living in Israel while they did university, some have since moved to America and others to Australia. Peace loving Palestinians happily lived and worked with them in Israel. The radical terrorists caused problems so they were moved out. As I said Israel has two members in their Government who want the removal of Israel; Israel is a democratic State. There are no Israelis in any of the adjoining States. Why? Because they do not accommodate Israel as a State. Posted by Josephus, Monday, 23 December 2013 7:28:06 AM

Josephus, I'm not sure if you are trying to justify the disgraceful actions of the Democratic Terrorist Government of Israel against innocent children, as these murderers are engaged in the the killing of babies, through their actions. As a professed Christian I'm sure you would adhere to the teaching of Jesus Christ and never support these barbaric Jew murderers.
However, I do find you line of argument strange, to say the least. Your continued reference to "Israel has two members in their Government who want the removal of Israel" What is the relevance of these two, when it comes to the murdering of children? Or, "I had family [brothers children] living in Israel while they did university" that's nice to, but how does that relate to the Jew murders killing children? You seem to be skirting the issue, with irrelevance, and silence on the subject of the illegal blockade. I did ask you to comment on; “The blockade has collectively punished Gaza’s population in violation of international law. The power plant shutdown has further affected all aspects of daily life, and the Israeli authorities must lift the blockade immediately, starting by allowing urgently needed fuel supplies into the Strip and working with all relevant parties to avert a prolonged humanitarian crisis this winter.” How do the women and children, old people, babies etc, fit into your take on this "violation of international law" and "humanitarian crisis" So far all your comment has been irrelevant to the above. The two "provocateurs" in the Jew Government, and your relatives once studying at Jew university, your lack of condemnation of Jew terrorism is interesting. Is that the Christian attitude? I don't think so! Posted by Paul1405, Tuesday, 24 December 2013 4:19:21 AM

Paul,
Believe the UN propaganda if you must, I have contacts on the ground who care equally for all who suffer. However you mention nothing about those Israelis killed and maimed by rockets fired from Gaza. You are a one eyed terrorist supporter bigot. Posted by Josephus, Tuesday, 24 December 2013 11:48:03 AM

"Israelis killed and maimed by rockets fired from Gaza." Josephus this "one eyed terrorist supporter bigot", condemns those that would kill innocent Israelis just as I condemn those that would kill innocent Palestinians. One does not justify the other.

Pope Francis read..the sign out loud Dec. 22..after reciting the midday Angelus prayer from the window of the apostolic palace. "It's beautiful,"..he said. "It makes me think..*/how Jesus was born/in a stall,..not a house. And reading that sign..I think today..[22/12]..of all the families without homes,..either because they never had one..or because they lost their home..for some*..reason. "A family..and a home go together,"..the pope said. "It's very difficult..to keep a family going..without a home to live in...During these Christmas days,..I ask everyone --individuals, social agencies,..authorities --to do everything possible so that every family..can have a home." The sign was carried by members..of a loose coalition of protesters who had been demonstrating..across Italy since early December...Known as the "pitchfork movement,"..it included farmers, truckers and families protesting taxes..and government austerity programs. Pope Francis praised/social involvement,..but he insisted that citizens must resist..the temptation..of violence and defend their rights through dialogue. In his main Angelus address,..Pope Francis focused on the Gospel's description..of Joseph finding out..that Mary was expecting a child and facing a struggle..between his love for her..and his obedience to God's law,./which prescribed shunning her because they were not married. "This brief phrase describes a real and true interior drama, if we consider how much Joseph loved Mary," the pope said, adding that it must have been like the internal struggle of Abraham when God told him to sacrifice his only son Isaac. "But, as he did with Abraham, the Lord intervenes; he found the faith he was looking for and opens a different path, a path of love and happiness," the pope said. Pope Francis prayed that Christians would learn to entrust themselves fully to God like Mary did and that, like Joseph, they would "prefer to believe the Lord rather than listening to the voices of doubt and human pride."

let the inquisition/begin
where..are we..in relation..to revelations..? let it snow..[the sign/of the times] http://biblehub.com/revelation/20-3.htm what links the cold spell..in the north? A Wanderer in the Sprit Lands, by Franchezzo (A. Farnese), [1896], at sacred-texts.com http://new-birth.net/booklet/Wanderer_a4.pdf CHAPTER IX.--The Frozen Land--The Caverns of Slumber. I was next sent to visit what will indeed seem a strange country to exist in the spirit world. The Land of Ice and Snow--the Frozen Land--in which lived all those who had been cold and selfishly calculating in their earthly lives. Those who had crushed out and chilled and frozen from their own lives and the lives of others, all those warm sweet impulses and affections which make the life of heart and soul. Love had been so crushed and killed by them that its sun could not shine where they were, and only the frost of life remained. Great statesmen were amongst those whom I saw dwelling in this land, but they were those who had not loved their country nor sought its good. Only their own ambitions, their own aggrandizement had been their aim, and to me they now appeared to dwell in great palaces of ice and on the lofty frozen pinnacles of their own ambitions. Others more humble and in different paths in life I saw, but all alike were chilled and frozen by the awful coldness and barrenness of a life from which all warmth, all passion, was shut out. I had learned the evils of an excess of emotion and of passion, now I saw the evils of their entire absence. Thank God this land had far fewer inhabitants than the other, for terrible as are the effects of mis-used love, they are not so hard to overcome as the absence of all the tender feelings of the human heart.

Consenting sentient entities have the natural freedom & rights to do with their property, bodies and minds what they will, without private or public intervention.
The Moral Argument The consenting/voluntary principle assures us that while we may have the possibility of choosing the worst, we also have the possibility of choosing the best. It provides us the opportunity to make things better, though it doesn’t guarantee results. While it dictates that we do not force our idea of “better” on someone else, it protects us from having someone else’s idea of “better” imposed on us by force. The use of coercion to compel virtue eliminates its possibility, for to be moral, an act must be uncoerced. If a person is compelled to act in a certain way (or threatened with government sanctions), there is nothing virtuous about his or her behavior. Freedom of choice is a necessary ingredient for the achievement of virtue. Whenever there is a chance for the good life, the risk of a bad one must also be accepted. aware that there is also something else which stimulates our apathy in this respect. He signified the importance of leisure time for our own personal well being as well as for the well being of the community as a whole – it creates so to speak the possibility to make well informed decisions. Currently our leisure time is under assault. Thirty years of income stagnation in the midst of rising prices – people have to struggle to earn a living – meant that for most of us there is less time for critical thought. But it has even been made harder to reflect on important issues since politicians and opinions leaders use marketing tools in order to seduce. Remember that soon after the 2008 banking bailout the discussion was reframed in such a way that government spending instead of the unregulated financial sector itself, was the root cause of all ‘evil’ – this message was repeated like a commercial, over and over again. Posted by one under god, Sunday, 5 January 2014 6:29:26 PM

.This technique of repetition effectively neutralizes critical thinking. Hence, Nazi propagandist, Joseph Goebels, was on to something when he famously stated: ,,If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.”
Long after Goebbels died, psychologists experimentally discovered that it is a natural tendency of human beings to react more receptive to whatever kind of message the more they are exposed to it. They call this ,,the law of mere exposure”. We should question ourselves if this habit is healthy for our general welfare.Furthermore, psychologists discovered that our ability to think critically is severely limited when we act under stress. Frightened people tend to perceive reality through a prism of simple right and wrong answers, leaving the complexities aside. Scared, we are easily fooled. Politicians and corporations can’t resist the temptation to manipulate this animal instinct – like when we started a war without having been shown any serious proof of its legitimacy. One could expect that the mainstream media in its role as guard dog was attacking those politicians that create black & white polemics. However, currently most (privately owned) media echo the voice of corporations, which these days doesn’t differ much in substance from that of the government. As a result alternative and more nuanced voices are underrepresented in cultural discourse which, again, makes it harder to produce well informed decisions. And, when considering the information that is filtered thru to a broad audience – one also notes the slow, but steady disappearing of the separation line between news media and entertainment. American academic Daniel Hallin argues that the average time for sound bites politicians are given in media performances has shrunk from forty seconds in the 1960s to ten seconds in 1988. Posted by one under god, Sunday, 5 January 2014 6:31:32 PM

.Hallin’s crucial point is that he believes that the biggest victim of this still on going process is the careful scrutinizing of social problems. This results in so called ‘horse race’ news – news about politics presented as a game of ,,who’s the most witty” in which politicians try to be popular instead of reasonable. The blur of catchy one-liners reaching the audience creates a further alienation from reality.
Taken together an assault on leisure, repetition of information, fear policies and the transformation of our media outlets from guard dogs to lap dogs create a situation wherein our spirit for the common good slowly dissolves into an ocean of noise, distraction and misinformation. Meanwhile, the social environment which politicians, corporations and media gurus are constructing produces anxieties and illusions in order to make profits or political gains. Together these social forces act as a gravitational pull for government and corporate empowerment.....That is to say, they pull away strength from the people to participate in the maintenance of a mentally healthy, meaningful democratic environment. Thomas Jefferson once argued that a government should fear the power of the people. In that respect the apathy with which the audience in general responds to the revelations of Snowden is a cynical demonstration of our time frame. Although, however little, a message this confronting does still stir society a tiny bit. We are not completely brain-dead – and there is some hope in that. Probably the best question contemporary Westerners can ask themselves is: will today’s power structure be able to obscure these clear violations of human civil rights or is this message too loud to ignore? Or to say it more bluntly than that: will there be a transition to a meaningful democracy in the West or to an advanced form of authoritarianism?Politicians on both sides of the Atlantic who construct an image of toughness – tough on crime, on terrorism, on humanistic-inspired idealism etc. – are tapping into a sensitive spot that blocks critical thought among the public.

.Obama‘s brute and harsh reaction on Edward Snowden‘s revelations is just another example. Somehow it seems like ,,We, the people…” lost track of ourselves. Four main reasons why we abandon our once hard fought civil rights.
Many countries in the West, like Britain, France, Spain the US and the Netherlands have experienced in recent years an exponential increase in technological surveillance and a resolute decline in parliamentary and judicial control over state police and secret service. Issues like the ban on torture, the possibility of detention without charge, privacy and freedom of speech were in the public debate reframed in favour of state control. And everybody accepted it. To be fair, there was some opposition – but it lacked intensity...Why is this happening? To give an example, under former British Prime Minister Tony Blair 45 criminal laws were approved creating 3000 new criminal offences. British writer John Kampfer argues that in the past ten years more criminal offences were made in his country than in a hundred years before. All this was legitimized by the idea that a ‘terroristic’ virus attacked Western civilization. Of course, there is some truth in it – but these risks were grossly exaggerated. Still, we fearfully went along with the proposed measures. This cultural shift towards perhaps a more authoritarian future for the West is no coincidence of nature. It is manmade. If the opportunity is there, top down induced shifts happen only if politicians, corporations, media pundits and other cultural icons are able to find the right symbols and techniques to get a new message across.>>>> HK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbG3G1EPPUI Mark Howitt takes an investigative look into the events and controversy surrounding the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting which happened on December 14th 2012 in Newtown Connecticut.

.Using rare news and article clips, testimonies, police audio analysis and several perspectives, it is quite clear that we are not being told the truth about what really happened. Was there others involved in the crime? Why have authorities and media provided abundant amounts of misleading information, changing the official narrative on countless occasions? These questions are being asked by a large amount of people in the public and the case is looked at in great detail to try and make sense of things and bring closure to much of the controversy in what is perhaps the biggest conspiracy since JFK....Topics discussed include identities of multiple suspects, police audio analysis, witness testimonies, media coverage, the Lanza family, gun ban issue, intelligence agencies, examples of covert operations, project longevity, project mockingbird, fast and furious, crisis actor claims, prior drills, living victims, FEMA, advanced knowledge of attack, motive of crime, and several other aspects and anomalies.
In Judaism, the day of judgment happens every year on Rosh HaShana, therefore the belief in a last day of judgment for all mankind is disputed. Some Rabbis hold that there will be such a day following the resurrection of the dead. Others hold that there is no need for that because of Rosh HaShana. While yet others hold that this accounting and judgment happens when one dies. Yet others hold that the last judgment only applies to the gentile nations and not the Jewish peopleQLLHGHGGFFZZXCXCXCXCBBMM,,http://www.stevequayle.com/ he was on alex jones on tuesday http://rss.infowars.com/20131231_Tue_Alex.mp3 http://books.google.com.au/books?id=Gd3eQKgM5uoC&pg=PA158&lpg=PA158&dq=omans+second+temple+destruction&source=bl&ots=28NNqpFlra&sig=ydQRL8vsrJC8aunTbEDws-olDI4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=4LLEUrGCObCdiAfixYDgDA&ved=0CDkQ6AEwBA#v=onepage&q=omans%20second%20temple%20destruction&f=false Chabad's traditional belief in bodily resurrection in the Messianic era:Z ...none would dispute that a man's good acts live on as an eternal legacy after him, which is why Judaism has always emphasized the importance of positive action...just as the Talmud says the patriarch Jacob never died because his children continue the tradition he taught them, the same can be said of Martin Luther King Jr., whose commitment to racial harmony we continue to embrace, or of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, whose pioneering work in returning Jews to their heritage continues to influence every strand of world Jewry.[42] In Conservative Judaism Posted by one under god, Sunday, 5 January 2014 6:36:37 PM

.Conservative Judaism has generally retained the tenet of the bodily resurrection of the dead, including traditional references to it in the liturgy. However, many Conservative Jews interpret the tenet metaphorically rather than literally.[39] Conservative Judaism both affirms belief in the world beyond (as referenced in the Amidah and Maimonides' Thirteen Precepts of Faith) while recognizing that human understanding is limited and we cannot know exactly what the world beyond consists of.[40]
Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism have altered traditional references to the resurrection of the dead ("who gives life to the dead") to refer to "who gives life to all". Reform and Reconstructionist Judaism affirm belief in the afterlife, though they downplay the theological implications in favor of emphasizing the importance of the "here and now," as opposed to reward and punishment. Rabbi Laura Novak Winer, a member of the Union for Reform Judaism, explains the Reform attitude towards the afterlife by quoting Abraham Joshua Heschel: True, this world is only a 'vestibule to the world to come,' where we must prepare ourselves before we enter the 'banquet hall.' Yet in the eyes of God, the endeavor and the participation are greater than the achievement and perfection.[41] Ask the Rabbis" forum: "Belief in the afterlife - a world to come in which the righteous get their true reward and the wicked get their deserved comeuppance - is a central teaching of traditional Judaism. This belief stems from the conviction that a loving God would not allow injustice to win. When the facts of life did not fit the Bible's emphasis on reward and punishment in the here and now, this faith in the afterlife was emphasized. In the Middle Ages, when Jews suffered so much while enemies ruled the world, the stress on the world to come grew stronger. Some religious teachers taught that this life is "unimportant," and that one should live only to be worthy of eternal bliss. This view spilled over into asceticism and less respect for the body and material activity. Early modernizers reversed direction. Posted by one under god, Sunday, 5 January 2014 6:37:55 PM

.They validated Judaism and dismissed Christianity by insisting that Judaism is interested only in doing well in earthly life. Christianity was criticized as otherworldly, repressive and dreaming only of getting to heaven. It was described as cruel for condemning people to eternal damnation..This modern one-sided emphasis on mortal life robbed Jews of the profound consolation of eternal life and justice for all who suffered unjustly and innocently.
What is needed is the classical Jewish ability to hold both sides of the tension. Such Judaism would inspire people to find God in the secular, to unite body and soul, to work for tkkun olam (repairing the world) in the here and now..At the same time, it would uphold the reality of the spirit and the immortality of the soul. This faith offers the consolation of a final reunion - with those we have loved and lost with the El Maleh Rachamim, the Infinite God of Compassion. The first thing a pilgrim would do would be to approach the public entrance on the south side of the Temple Mount complex. He would check his animal,[clarification needed] then visit a mikveh, where he would ritually cleanse and purify himself. The pilgrim would then retrieve his sacrificial animal, and head to the Huldah gates. After ascending a staircase three stories in height, and passing through the gate, the pilgrim would find himself in the "Court of the Gentiles." Court of the Gentiles...Commoners had entered through the still-extant, but now plugged, gates on the southern side which led through beautiful colonnades to the top of the platform. One of these colonnades is still extant and reachable through the Temple Mount. The Southern wall was designed as a grand entrance..Recent archeological digs have found thousands of mikvehs (ceremonial bathtubs) for the ritual purification of the worshipers, as well as a grand stairway leading to the now blocked entrance. Inside the walls, the platform was supported by a series of vaulted archways, now called Solomon's Stables, which still exist and whose current renovation by the Waqf is extremely controversial. . The Messiah[edit] Main article:.Jewish messianism Posted by one under god, Sunday, 5 January 2014 6:41:17 PM

.The Hebrew word mashiach (or moshiach) refers to the Jewish idea of the Messiah. Like the English word messiah, mashiach means anointed.[3]
The Jewish Messiah refers to a human leader, physically descended from the Davidic line, who will rule and unite the people of Israel[4] and will usher in the Messianic Age[5] of global and universal peace. While the name of Jewish Messiah is considered to be one of the things that precede creation,[6] he is neither considered divine nor the return of Jesus, in contrast to Christianity. In biblical times the title mashiach was awarded to someone in a high position of nobility and greatness...It is a reference to the Jewish leader and king that will redeem Israel in the end of days and usher in a messianic era of peace and prosperity for both the living and deceased.[3] In the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible)[edit] Most textual requirements concerning the Messiah and his reign are in the Book of Isaiah, although aspects are mentioned in other prophets as well. * The Sanhedrin will be re-established (Isaiah 1:26) * Once he is King, leaders of other nations will look to him for guidance (Isaiah 2:4) * The whole world will worship the One God of Israel (Isaiah 2:17)* Knowledge of God will fill the world (Isaiah 11:9) * He will include and attract people from all cultures and nations (Isaiah 11:10) * All Israelites will be returned to their homeland (Isaiah 11:12, Zechariah 10:6) * Death will be swallowed up forever (Isaiah 25:8) * There will be no more hunger or illness,..and death will cease (Isaiah 25:8) * The dead will rise again (Isaiah 26:19) * The house of David shall be as God (Zechariah 12:8)[7] * God will seek to destroy all the nations that go against Jerusalem (Zechariah 12:9, Isaiah 60:12) * Israel and Judah will be made into one nation again (Zechariah 11:12-14, Ezekiel 37:16-22) * The Jewish people will experience eternal joy and gladness (Isaiah 51:11) * He will be a messenger of peace (Isaiah 53:7) Posted by one under god, Sunday, 5 January 2014 6:45:19 PM

http://www.vatican.va/phome_en.htm
the document offers..the Roman Catholic Church..a road map
for navigating..the complexities of the..modern world,..with the Gospel..as a compass
for.;.what the pope..called
“a new phase..of ev-angel-ization,.
*one marked by..enthusiasm..joy..and vitality.”
The document,..[the Joy of the Gospel)..is/a papal pronouncement..
known as an apostolic exhortation,..it..was the first major written work Francis..has created*..since he was chosen eight months ago to lead the 2,000-year-old church.
It challenges the church..to..“abandon the complacent/attitude that says: ‘We have always..done it this way,'”..and he seeks..to find novel,..more immediate..“bold and creative.. ways to speak to the faithful..and to make..the..service..of the church more meaningful.
The 84-page document is essentially..a compendium of what Pope Francis has said..in dozens of speeches and sermons since he became pope in March.
“It is the fruit/of personal reflection,”..the Vatican spokesman,
the Rev. Federico Lombardi,..said at a news conference.
“There is coherence..between..the words/of..the documents
and..the actions..of the pope.”
An apostolic exhortation..does*not/..define Church doctrine,
and the document makes clear..that some issues..like abortion,
or the ordination of women,,are not up for discussion.
But there is an acknowledgment too,..that the world has changed,
and that the church must change with it...It is time, Pope Francis said, for “still broader opportunities..for a more incisive female presence in the Church,” in particular “in the various other settings where important decisions are made.”
The local church must have greater say in decision-making, and the renewal of the church can only gain strength if it begins from the bottom up, the pope said.
Bishops and priests on the ground have a better sense of the needs of the faithful, as well as their frustrations, and parishes should become a critical part of the church’s evangelization and outreach.
A parish should be a point of “contact with the homes and the lives of its people,” and not a “useless structure out of touch with people or a self-absorbed cluster made up of a chosen few,” he wrote.
