    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    In light of the argument posted in message #82, the image above is stupendous for a number of reasons. For instance, the artist took it upon himself to show blood on either side of the knees of Yesod coming not down the front of the Father's garment, but from below the garment (rather than on...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    I didn't look through all of them, but the next two times the consonants עליון are found in his interlinear, they transliterate them "oliun." I suspect there isn't a place they transliterate them "elyon"? . . . I'd have to check about 53 cases to know. Has he given a verse where they...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    The divine vagina is a closed, sealed (by an intact membrane), vagina, behind which a true son of God is gestating. Whereas in the non-Jewish, i.e., the pagan religions, the virgin enters the temple and deflowers herself on the emblem of the "divine phallus," which, by the way is salubriously...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    It looked to me like they had determined to transliterate ע with an "o." I didn't see where they transliterated עליון "elyon"? If they transliterate the same consonants as "oliun" and "elyon" (which I didn't see) then he'd have a case for this particular interlinear distinguishing between two...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    Though it likely doesn't interest you, the idea of a "divine phallus" is ubiquitous so far as ancient religions and their symbolism are concerned: Throughout the ancient Mediterranean, Middle East and even into India, images of Priapus (or Hermes, or some other phallic deity) with a phallus...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    As best I can tell, he's investing a lot in the interlinear he linked to. It definitely seems to be an outlier so far as transliteration is concerned. It states that it's a "simple" versus a "phonetic" transliteration. The methodology they're using might be useful if a person fully understands...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    "Absolute being, not being manifested, can be perceived only by means of its creation, which is its sign -- its lingam. The existence of a transcendent being who thinks the world can be known only through this sign". . . By worshiping the lingam [phallus] one is not deifying a physical organ...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    What do you see as the fundamental distinction between "most high" versus "supreme"? Does the interlinear you link to translate עליון other than "supreme"? I looked a few places and it doesn't seem to be the case. So how do you get two distinct epithets out of "supreme"? John

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    The link you gave is to a low-budget interlinear. I have about ten of the best lexicons in existence and not one of them seems to support your argument. They all transliterate the Hebrew consonants as El Elyon (or Elyon without the El) wherever they're found in the Tanakh. The idea of "twin...

    The Last Temptation of the Shelah.

    Someone came. Surely it was God, God . . . or was it the devil? Who can tell them apart? They exchange faces; God sometimes becomes all darkness, the devil all light, and the mind of man is left in the muddle. Kazantzakis, The Last Temptation of Christ, 15. Samael is at one and the same time...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    The "demon-god" is made an emblem by means of Nehushtan. Which is why our interchange began with Exodus 23:20-21: 20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. 21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    Jesus is YHVH. The order of Melchizedek is an order of king/priests. Jesus' family are all king/priests. Jesus is the high priest and the offering simultaneously, which, the offering, is the means through which his family come into being. A similar analogy is brit milah which symbolizes a...

    Exegeting Isaiah 11:1.

    I'm just saying that the verse is speaking of a grapevine ἄμπελος and its small tendrils or branches κλῆμα rather than referring to Messiah as the "Branch" from the stump of Jesse. John

    Exegeting Isaiah 11:1.

    And if you reverse the letters you get chametz חמצ. A tsemach is a branch that's the opposite of chametz. At the end of a word the tsaddi looks different ץ. But it's the same letter. In the sentence above I used a standard tsaddi at the end of the word in order to show that reversing the...

    The Holy Shelah: Circumcising the Divine Phallus.

    I thought your statement was very informative and somewhat accurate. But my sensibilities also lie with @IndigoChild5559 and her beliefs too. Exodus 23:20 lends itself to the idea of a demon-god gallivanting throughout the pages of the Tanakh; a god who's sometimes written about, and sometimes...

    Exegeting Isaiah 11:1.

    Someone could be forgiven for thinking, What in the heck does all that have to do with the question it followed, vis-à-vis, How does the Hebrew name "Tsemach" relate, in a fitting way, to the name "Nazar-ene?" ----"Nazar-ene," as used in Isaiah 11:1, speaks of an asexual growth out of a coppiced...

    Exegeting Isaiah 11:1.

    "When Israel went out of Egypt, they left their domain ---alien domain, the domain called hamets [חמץ], evil bread. That is why idolatry is called so, and this is mystery of the evil impulse, alien worship, also called שאור (se'or), leaven. This is the evil impulse, for so it functions in a...

    Exegeting Isaiah 11:1.

    Someone might assume the crux of all this unsolicited exegetical/etymological information shines such a bright light on the nature of Messiah's conception and birth that the prophet Zechariah threatens to bollix it all up by not using the strangely propitious Hebrew word nazar (or netzer) to...

    Exegeting Isaiah 11:1.

    The two words are a match made in heaven so far as relating to Messiah is concerned since Messiah is a "branch" (נצר nazar or netzer) growing out of the coppiced stump (גזע geza) of Jesse, even as Messiah is a "branch" (צמח tsemach) out of the roots of Adam HaRishon אדם הראשון. He's both. And...
