The new testament narratives of him. Luke 2, 12, Matt 10, 11, 13, 15, 19 Mark 4, 5, 7, 11, Rev 19 to point out a few. And the fact he preached patrilineality.
Tight, Luce. Tight.
Ah rigid as the stoics ... cast in stone as statutes ... that's the protocol to counter thinking as free ... preserve my soul? No it went on to learn more in another degree of magnitude ... thus rings and ripples as rifts in the cosmos ... an allegory for the outside psyche ... look out and learn something greater than narcism ... it has point axis! Dun Cas capt ... Master of Hope, aspiration and dreams of beyond the chaos we're in due to excess industry ... doesn't allow folk to think and telus 've ID!
Thus the silence my old friend ... another option ... then those conserving their BS ... get liberal ... IT flies asmyth ... azimuth? Aligns with the dog star ... sun god? Those not looking further see the allegory of chasing tale ... there could be more to it than appears!
I'm not a liberal, Luce. I'm a moderate.

Summary: Matthew 6: 1 - 34
Jesus continues to speak to the multitudes that have followed him up the mountain. There are 7 areas of teaching.
1. Charitable deeds are to be performed secretly.
2. Prayer is also to be done secretly. A model prayer is offered . . . known to Protestants as the Lord's Prayer or "the prayer that Jesus taught."
3. Fasting, likewise, is to be seen only by God.
4. Lay up your treasures in heaven not on earth.
5. The lamp of the body is the eye and if the eye is good, the whole body will be full of light.
6. No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve God and mammon.
7. Do not worry about your life . . . what you eat, drink or wear. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. And do not worry about tomorrow.

Is charity like rescue and why Italians have bad mouthed Doctoring without limits?
Tis will perhaps be made into protol as Roman guide to preserve chaos in the troops ... like:
This in labelled ONStar ... a relief system for those needing to improve their wealth? Tis a strange system of destruction and chaos of the people's liberation party ... thus gone ahead ... out there! Resembles satyrs ... if you ask me dumb mules ... for the cistern!
Step outside and look ... life appears to be disaster ... when the paradigm looses hope ... does something ignite? OHM ai the flash is on ...

Reflection: Matthew 6
This passage contains a few well-known sayings. Those outside the Christian tradition may not even realize these sayings are biblical.
"Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. "
"For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
"Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."
Jesus continues to advocate for a robust spiritual life within Judaism. He has harsh words for hypocrites & the Gentiles are presented as seeking the good things of this world (food, drink, clothing).

Can you hold this thought for a few days? We will be at Matthew 10 soon.
"Life is Chi Zae to be sure" ... as blown moens ... means of taps ... fau SETS? Fo' alterations of the water falls ... into controlled drips ... sad song sung in the night! Water bored ding? But when dancing on the roof ... that's something else*eh?
Yes, Dr. Luke wrote both The Gospel According to Luke, and The Acts of the Apostles.
Thus irony as Lucee Fair to the Ayes ... angel of temptation? What a gift to make the powers think about what they believed to outdo ...on their undoings as unravelled!
Is there anything more stunned than Shakespeare in love with the occult mystery ... cryptic word? Thus wrote off into ... God knows where is the word ... read on as Dianna Gabaldon encouraged (when you believe you've read enough ... go on)!
In the legion of myth found in leagues ... were we meant to be cranked out as aforesaid screwed till scroo-edged about IT? Washed out ... the grand explete ... as expletive? Oh my Lo'ne Ithchii ... until feint!
Litchi nutz ... not well known here ... para cites?

Here is a view of the authorship of Matthew.
Helmut Koester:
John H. Morison Professor of New Testament Studies and Winn Professor of Ecclesiastical History Harvard Divinity School
JESUS IN MATTHEW - A MAN FROM ISRAEL
The Gospel of Matthew is concerned with the position of these early Christian churches within Israel, or in its relationship to what we call Judaism. And these are concerns that belong to the time after the fall of Jerusalem. How do these Christian communities, who don't even call themselves Christian, and probably don't even have a consciousness that they're something different than Israel, how do they relate to others who claim to be Israel? And it's very important that Jesus for Matthew is fully a man from Israel. Therefore, Matthew begins his gospel by taking all the genealogy of Jesus; he wanted to show that Jesus was the son of David, and now traces this back to Abraham. For Matthew, Jesus is not the son of David, but he is the son of Abraham. He is truly a man from Israel. And thus Jesus' teaching also is one that is fully in the legitimate tradition of Israel's teaching of the law. So in Matthew, not in any other gospel, we have Jesus saying he has not come to dissolve the law but to fulfill it. And that no part of the law will disappear....
Matthew has some hesitation to show that this is also the community for the gentiles. It is clear that yes, there is the gospel for the gentiles. The disciples at the end of the gospels are sent out to all nations, and are asked to teach them what Jesus had taught the disciples. That is, teach them also that Jesus had not come to dissolve the law. Now apparently the understanding of the law is not identical with that of emerging Judaism after the destruction of Jerusalem. Because notice there's no emphasis on ritual law. No circumcision, no Sabbath commandment. So the ritual commandments of the law have disappeared. But nevertheless, Matthew wants this to be understood as a legitimate new interpretation of the law of Moses.

Angel Pyre ... ferritic matter as irony? Can be ham Mere 'd in to La 'Scie ... and seathin demiurges ...
Something out of nothing as schism of opposition sides ... will they gather as if there was nothing to it ... my grandfather's philosophy on love and Theo Sophie on that point of matter ... A' dame of darkness ... mysterium tremens ...
We remain shaken by what we don't know, so what is unknown is denied existence ... until thought out of its place in essence ...
Hysteria and vapours in the flighty once ephraime 'd ... all psychological drift of philosophy ... as it wends it way out of physical being into the unbelievable sol ... the dark's Ide? Where dreams, aspirations and fears are trashed ... causing PTSD!
Remains buried and unseen ... subducted? RS oles ... primal vacancy?

Still reflecting. So far the first 4 disciples have been called and the multitudes have followed Jesus up the mountain. We are still there in today's reading. How exactly am I reading scripture these days? I have claimed to be tired of metaphor, but is it possible to apply any of this to my own life without metaphor?
Jesus called Simon Peter, Andrew his brother & James and John, sons of Zebedee, to drop their nets and follow him.
If I believe that I, too, have been called to follow Jesus (which I do believe, actually) how is the call of these four relevant to my life? Obviously I am not a male person of the first century earning my living catching fish. I have no nets to drop.
OTOH, most of the Sermon on the Mount can be understood without metaphor. But its context is a story.
