And, this King had a group of courtiers who always had and always will vie for his attention and favours. And one day one of the courtiers said to the King\u2026come visit your people in our churchs, synagogues,temples and mosques (the Kingdom of heaven on earth) and it will be very well for all of us. Also, please bring your Son along. But, the King thought about it and said, \u201cNo, I have another Kingdom (the Kingdom of Heaven of our spirits and souls inside of the human heart) that is far above us in the sky, but also very near. If you cannot find God inside of the human heart, you cannot find him anywhere. But, if you can find him there you can find him anywhere. So, it is better for you to come visit me there and then it will be very well for all of us, and not just some. So, they said alright we will do this. But, they did not. For the courtiers thought about it awhile and decided it was better for them to stay in their homes, churchs, synagogues, and mosques and keep asking the King to visit them there. They met together and thought they could outsmart the King. Thinking it would shame him, they held a banquet for the benefit of the whole Kingdom but did not invite him. So when they saw him again they asked him, \u201cWhen will you be visiting us in our home?\u201d But, the King said instead to them, \u201cI visited you some time ago. But, recently we were talking and I invited you for a visit and you said that you would come but you did not. Isn\u2019t the truth in your words more important to me than feasting with you for the benefit of all of us \u201d In the end, in the sense of how they are related to our everyday goals, our own words matter little compared to what we do during our lives. However,there is an even high judgement than this that we must face. For, at the level of our soul’s progress in heaven and the development of its capabilities…knowing that God’s truth can manifest itself and participate in the words we speak to each other and ourselves is more important than any deeds we might do in an earthly realm.<\/p>\n So, what is the Truth of the words of the courtiers that the King is speaking about in the above parable? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n May 4 Pentecost\/ June 9 Shavuous 2008<\/p>\n Thought for the last millenium and also the next: Continuation of Translation of parts of the 1st chapter of Genesis View looking down on the Colorado River below, toward the east, from Plateau Pt.

According to my friends, the rabbis in Brooklyn NY, the image mentioned here is the intelligence and spiritual free will of man. Baruch atah Adonay, yotzeayr h\u2019Adam.<\/strong> But, note, why does the first part of the verse not say yotzeayr (forming us with his imagination) when Elohim God creates us in his image and likeness? This is because Elohim God inside of us is asehh or making us (creating us in four parts with his own hands) in this verse. For Jews the Spirit and Soul of the Holy One of Israel and his Bride (What Christians call our Holy Spirit) according to the Torah,is Bahir (inside of the mountain of God in us) at this time. Begotten creation (as when we say in the Eucharist that Jesus Christ was created, begotten, not made by God and the Virgin Mary) occurs on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. This is the Unity School of Christianity. The Yotzer, or the formation of man’s image and likeness as a part of God in our imagination occurs during the Passover Seder. It is also reaffirmed with denials and affirmations during the two months of the Jewish lunar fall calendar after Elul. This is Our Prayer Group YHWH School of Christianity.

\nSome of the blogs from last year contain some helpful thoughts about how Christians can better learn to pray and meditate while standing up using Buddhist breathing and walking techniques (instead of sitting down as we normally do in Church). The series of wondelful books by my prayer friend the Rev. Thich Nhat Hanh contains much more on this.<\/p>\n

\nThe revised common lectionary was created for the occasions of common prayer and worship services among Protestants, Catholics and Jews.
\nIt has more readings from the Old Testament than the ordinary episcopal or catholic lectionary.
\nUsing these two or three year daily offices is an excellent way to keep track of an intention for reading most of the Bible in two years.
\nThe best translation of the Bible I have found is \u201cThe Amplified Bible\u201d published by Zondervan.

\nAlso, at this point, a matter related to the Jewish oral tradition of prohibiting any alteration of the Torah needs to be discussed:
\nThese translations are different than the usual ones. The normal translation of what has already been written does not divide the work between he and she. At his\/her highest, and at his\/her beginning in us God is one person and one name, not two people acting together. But, as discussed in an earlier blog, it can be helpful to meditate on his truth, her truth as it grows inside of us by considering it a correspondence between what is and what is. This is supported by another part of the Jewish tradition which teaches it takes two persons along with God…1) a dreamer and 2) an interpreter for a dream to come true. Also, there are the following rules of interpretation of the Torah (by the rabbi Ismael, some would say the rabbi who is our rabbi Ismael…) which support this:
\n(the numbers to the left and before the logical statements refer to his 13 rules for elucidation of the Torah which are accepted by most Jews)
\n2) the female and male conjugations being part of similar[the same word] clarify it [the word] in a different context.
\n4), 5) , 12), 13) the female being made out of the rib of the male by a a general statement of God and is therefore a specification of his words and equally able to speak for the general context of them, to single out something for discussion which was not similar to the general category, a limitation of the context of it,
\nMoreover, the female teachers of the Torah being allowed to help the male teachers in this way they will be able to increase the elucidations of the context for all of us, or as a third party to reconcile the context.
\nMoreover, to no lesser a degree we have been given the verses below from the teaching of Jesus Christ and the prophet Isaiah:<\/p>\n
\nPsalm 118:22, Jermiah 30:21<\/p>\n
\nGenesis 1:17<\/p>\n
\nBelow some are the rest of the verses connected to this verse and which expand on it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
\nSo dry land [faith in earthly things in us] may appear.\u201d Genesis 1:9<\/p>\n
\n
\n\u201cTar\u2019shay h\u2019araytz dhshay ashehv maz\u2019raytz zeerah ahtz bhoray aeesheh bhoray l\u2019manu ashehr zer\u2019au.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nGenesis 1:6-12<\/p>\n
\nGenesis 1:17<\/p>\n
\nNow you tell me, Who is like unto that King? Was the King right or the courtiers? And, who is the King in that realm and in us?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\nThe Bible gives us two very different explanations about what the truth is that Jesus Christ has left to us in the Gospel according to the Book of John. One explanation is given to his disciple Thomas:
\n“Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.” John 14:6
\nThe other explanation was given to those who were crucifying and hurting him and whose souls he was trying to save and to help:
\n“Pilate said to Him, Then You are a King? Jesus answered. You say it [You speak the truth correctly here for at this point it is you who are who I am and am trying to help] For I am a King, This is Iwhy I was born, and for this I have come into the world, to bear witness to the Truth. Everyone who is of the Truth [who is a friend of the Truth] hears and listens to My voice.” John 18:37 Amplified Bible with some phrases added to further amplify it by Andrew.
\nJesus Christ has said that he is the vine and we are the branches. But, those branches of us in him that promise to keep faith with God and his purposes in any of us, but intentionally don’t…in order not to be God…they are committing a sin against the Holy Spirit and can no longer in us or him.
\nFor as I have been told, and so I do believe…
\n“If your refuse to take up your cross and follow Me, you are not Mine.”
\n“Whosoever finds his [lower worldly]life will lose it [the higher heavenly life], and whoever loses his [lower worldly] life on My account will find it [the higher heavenly life on earth].” The Gospel of Matthew chapter 10
\nInotherwords, “When the Bible is right, somebody is wrong.”<\/p>\n
\n“A committment to upholding a truth that we both know about together is more fundamental than hoping for one that we don’t [know about]. But, both are important.”<\/p>\n
