Discover the Primary Drivers of Wars

An article I read in a science magazine stated that for the last 191,700 years, humans like us have lived on the earth. DNA samples and archaeological discoveries played key roles in the research behind the statement. There is a 171,700-year gap in which all we know about humans comes from archeological discoveries. 20,000 years ago, some Ice Age individuals adorned an assortment of surfaces across France and Spain with representations of regional prey animals, from bison to birds to fish. 14,500 years after the representations in the caves were made, the earliest confirmed form of writing was made -- 3,000 years before the Second Temple in Jerusalem was built.  Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/ae04f3e231a8/discover-the-primary-drivers-of-wars

The Call for Our Generation: See The Shootings!

 

When people around the world heard what happened on October 7, 2023, and began seeing pictures and videos about what happened they knew something evil had taken place. People that were usually on polar-opposite sides of issues agreed on that. Hamas said that the above things were not true, even though they posted videos of the crimes themselves on social media. Propaganda creators know that “the attention spans of Americans are measured in seconds and minutes.” They have been “flipping the script” with weaponized misinformation since then – most Americans are completely unaware of it.

Using UCFCs to Accurately Explore the Bible and the Attack on Israel

 

One day after the attacks people around the world were trying to process what happened. one week later, American college campuses had students protesting against Israel’s response to the attacks -- “Israel is committing genocide! Israel is violating human rights.” This is a situation in which the skills we use Exploring the Bible and Biblical Heritages come in handy. A very important skill is identifying and tracking “unintended cascading factual consequences” (UCFC). There are always multiple versions of an event and endless speculations. Continue reading at -

Reality Checks About Israel and America

 

A word is a group of symbols with an attached bundle of associations. This is a very important guideline we use to explore the Bible and Biblical Heritages. “Israel” is a word that has been in languages around the world for thousands of years. Most people connect the word “Israel” to the Bible, but they know very little about Israel today. Look at these maps and numbers – then think would happen to Israel without the support of the United States and other nations. Continue reading at –

Hate, Hate Crimes, Anti-Semitism, and Race

 

Today, making accurate distinctions between hate, hate crimes, anti-Semitism, and race is very important. Hate is regarding other people with extreme ill-will, having a passionate aversion to them, or treating them as an enemy. The word "crime" in “hate crime” is often a violent crime. “Anti-Semitism” and “race” are much more complicated. Scientists today, using powerful computer technologies, know much more about humans as genetic creatures.

Praying With the Kingdom of Heaven Mindset

 

I had memorized the words of the Lord’s Prayer and prayed it many times. But I was taught that after I said, “Amen” – I had finished my part. Now everything is in God’s hands. I can now move on to the next thing on my “To-Do List” or my “Prayer List.” But I discovered that “Amen” for Jesus and his disciples signaled the beginning, not the end. Now they are obligated to actively participate in answering the prayer! Do not pray the Lord’s Prayer until you know the meaning of the Hebrew “HINEINI.” Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/407e779cfac6/praying-with-the-kingdom-of-heaven-mindset

The Jewish Prayer Jesus Taught His Disciples

 

The New Sanhedrin had been making decisions about what a “Judaism without a Temple and Priests” will be. They ruled that prayers would replace sacrifices. Therefore, understanding the processes associated with offering sacrifices must be understood. Presenting sacrifices at the Temple was called AVODAH – divine service. There were two kinds of sacrifices (obligations) presented at the Temple, so they created two kinds of prayers. The prayer Jesus taught his disciples was also a communal prayer. This is probably the most well-known prayer in the world today! Continue reading at --
