Where in your little brain did that little gem come from? Seeler is by far your elder, a faithful servant of her God, her family, her church, her wider community, the poor, the homeless, the hungry. As far as we all know, and there's video demos of it, she has demonstrated the fruit of the Spirit in ways I have never heard of about you.

Tis de rhea mo'fi Cation of displaced meditations and thoughts ... as individual one must only observe and digest ... but then avarice On Sues ... a basket of bread thought and kettle of fishy thoughts will do it ... school of feeding friends Aye?

Why in world view the human brain device is negligible ... and the world goes on Ur way ... some don't care ... like some leaders try to steer things that are beyond eM ... nothing they've noted ... in passing over ... a great thing in the semi ode 'c peoples ... odd to those institutionalized ... trying to fix what wasn't broken and getting the whole axis out of balance ... axis mundi ... related to spiritis mundi ... an unbelievable item ...

Some further comments on Genesis:
- While there are many examples of avoiding war by negotiation, trickery or deceit, or simply moving on and putting space between hostile groups, there are only a few reports of actual violence. One is the whole story of the rape of Dinah and of her brothers slaughter of the men of Shechem.
- Slavery was taken for granted - both men and women. Some of them had trusted positions in the household, and women slaves might bear children for their mistresses' husbands (Hagar, Bilhah, Zilpah) but remain slaves.
- Incest was not mentioned by name: possibly it was frowned upon between parent and offspring (Lot and his daughters), but it was quite common between half-siblings, or cousins. In fact it seems to have been preferred to marriage to an outsider (Isaac and Rebeccah were cousins).

Alll in all Genesis is an interesting book. It held my attention.

Important insights: the establishment of the covenant between God and the people, and the basic understanding of the relationship between God and the people; the story of the patriarchs and matriarchs of the Hebrew faith, the settlement of the Hebrew people among the people of Canaan and the relationship of the various tribes - many of them descendants of Abraham (Ishmaelites, Edomites, etc.).

Thus God-like avarice when at the centre is a point of gravitas ... isn't that a devil as advocate when souls are freed to conceive unhindered ... a good way to observe mystery and mystic ... and how this devilish thing called mind works ... tis a alien thought ... people don't believe that nothing can exist ... and then extreme passion hits ... almost like a religion ... politic-aye on Ayres ??

Suce politic should be covered ... a covenant until beta understood ... much observation to be gathered over time ... that high point ... speaking of such this can cause dissonance ... Eris 'n event ...

Chronologically Job is a very old story.

Tis a' Job to accept myths ... as old stories gone by ... but they stick relativistic ally ... silent Buddha's (English Buddies as an old substitutionary word for Charles) a boney prince constructed in the darkness of soul! Amazing Grace that we could be aware of something that isn't ... then it fades ... due time!

One interesting thing about Job is that Jewish tradition holds that Job was not a Jew, but a righteous Gentile...
 
I've read the first 15 chapters of Exodus now - familiar story (reinforced by the Hollywood movie 'The Ten Commandments'), but it is holding my interest. Some observations:
- Moses father-in-law is referred to by two different names. Was this a mistake in copying ancient manuscripts, perhaps from different sources? Or did he, like Jacob/Israel, have two different names that could be used at different times.
- The strange incident related in Exodus 4: 24-26. It doesn't seem to make sense. God has chosen and called Moses. Moses obeys and follows God's directions, setting off for Egypt to confront the Pharaoh. When he stops for the night, God confronts him and threatens to kill him. He is saved when his wife Zipporah circumsizes their son and throws it down at Moses feet. Nothing further is said about this matter at this time. I did look this up in several on-line commentaries. They all seem to agree that God is angry because Moses failed to have his younger son circumsized as required by all Hebrews. God spares his life when Zipporah does it for him.
And who is this younger son? In my reading thus far I've only found reference to the birth of one son, but it does mention that Moses took his wife and sons (plural) with him when he started toward Egypt. The commentaries all seem to think that he may have been born within weeks, or even days, of the family setting out.
- later I found myself searching for information about the time the horse was domesticated. While other animals (sheep, goats, donkey) are mentioned, there is no mention of horses until the Egyptians pursued the Hebrews with horses and chariots. Yes, I found that horses had been domesticated and used for both riding on and hauling carts by the time of the Exodus.

Where will this exercise lead me next?

aircleans post was not towards seeler

Well, yes, it was. It was correcting my judgment that Seeler has plenty of the Spirit. It was airclean's way of saying "and how would you know; you're an ignorant idiot". I can read airclean-ese by now. It's usually shallow on substance, heavy on "I know everything and I'm right".

actually no , here is what he said :

Airclean--post- Oh yes I am sure your a good Judge" as you know an understand, so much about GOD".

notice the "your" & the "you"

and no he was not calling you an ignorant idiot, you assume too much, he was saying there is a difference in understanding the God of scripture between a christian and an atheist , clearly debates reflect this

Is it that hard for an atheist/agnostic to recognize a Christian if that Christian is living their life as one?

a Christian is not A Christian based on anything that he/she does , though we strive to, but a christian is a christian solely and entirely on the work Christ did for us on the cross
