    Water into wine: natural or supernatural?

    Amen. Your statement above is the kind of belief I was attempting to deconstruct with the message about aborigines feeling the same about the impossibility of an I-phone being a natural product of our world as you do about the possibility of turning water into wine like Jesus did. To the...

    Water into wine: natural or supernatural?

    . . . If I were so uneducated that I was unaware that wine-making was common knowledge in Jesus' day, if I had so casually read the Bible (which makes it clear that wine-making goes back long before Jesus' day), that my argument was that wine-making itself was miraculous, then I would hope you'd...

    Water into wine: natural or supernatural?

    My argument is that even today's scientifically enlightened populace is still aboriginal when it comes to the fact that we ---like simpler aboriginal peoples ---still live within the prison of our own simplistic epistemological falsehoods concerning knowledge and the growth of knowledge...

    Water into wine: natural or supernatural?

    If someone brought a couple I-phones into a deep woods village of a group of aboriginal peoples who had never had contact with the outside world and let them communicate with one another on video phone, to them (the aboriginals), these tools (the I-phones) would be absolutely miraculous since...

    Water into wine: natural or supernatural?

    One of, if not thee, greatest historians of the evolution and function of the scientific-method, Sir Karl Popper, said two critically important things concerning your comment. First, he said for science to occur, something like blind faith in a proposition is necessary, and two, he said all...

    Was the Father's will always subordinate to the Son's will?

    This is a thoughtful logical examination of an apparent contradiction, e.g., the son's will versus the fathers. Is the son's will subordinate to the father's, or could the son pray for more than twelve legions of angels and the father's will will send them? In another place the son tells his...

    The Immenseness of Adam Kadmon's Menses.

    In 2 Corinthians 11:2, Paul writes that he desires to present the Church to Christ as a chaste virgin. The idea isn't that Christ will inseminate the Church with the biological semen related to the fallen gender-dynamics found in the Masoretic text and on the sheets on the profane wedding night...

    The Immenseness of Adam Kadmon's Menses.

    When Rabbi Hirsch states that human blood is a liquid form of the fleshly body, that truism shines a light on the narrative in Genesis chapter 2 where the blood is given to the fleshly body by God. That narrative is giant since not only must the blood come from somewhere different from the "dust...

    The Immenseness of Adam Kadmon's Menses.

    "We have also seen that דם [blood]--- from the root דמה ---- is a prototype of the whole body; it is the body in its liquid state, so to speak" (The Hirsch Chumash, Bereshis, 9:6). ------Later, in the same text, Rabbi Hirsch says that the blood is the physical representation of the soul and...

    The Immenseness of Adam Kadmon's Menses.

    In an essay composed of a thread here a few years ago (Adam Kadmon and Her Son) a discussion was engaged about the flawed metaphysics of gender that contaminates the Masoretic tradition for interpreting the Torah text. That essay argued that the first human was, contrary to the Masoretic...

    Biblionics.

    The answer to that question is inherent to the broader context of the current examination. Biblionics is the spirit which, though hidden inside a language and script that doesn't appear to be indigenous to Biblionics, has, if possible (the foreign language or script has), emanated from the...

    Biblionics.

    Stating that Biblionics is a form of communication that piggybacks the language or script it uses to reveal itself, begs the question concerning the true nature of Biblionics? What is Biblionics if it has to borrow or piggyback some script external to it? Why doesn't it possess its own script or...

    Biblionics.

    The scholar of Hebrew letter symbolism, Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, said a number of things about the Hebrew letter "mem" which, on the surface, appear to lend great weight to the current examination. He claims that the letter mem resembles a "womb", and that in most languages there's a phonetic...

    Biblionics.

    6. לםרבה Some remark, after the manner of the Midrash, that the use of the final Mem in this word hints at the miracle of the sun's shadow going down backward (xxxviii. 8). מרבה is either a noun, "increase," like מעשה "work," or a regular participle Hiphil, "causing to increase." Ibn Ezra. Ibn...

    Biblionics.

    This segues nicely into the topic of Biblionics since the Hebrew word לםרבה that's read as "increase" in most texts, speaks directly and unequivocally here of a "pregnancy" so long as the reader of the Hebrew word is familiar with the true spirit of the Biblionics being employed in the context...

    Biblionics.

    No one knew Jesus was hidden inside Mary from the start such that when he came out unexpectedly, and unnaturally, he caused a stir. If, based on Jesus' hiddeness, we look at the first creation of God, the first house of God, the first word in the Bible, sure enough, it too had a firstborn hidden...

    Biblionics.

    Let's try the first word in the Bible (בראשית). We have beit בית which means "house." And hidden in the very middle of the "house" (which Yoma 2a says is a "mom") is the word for "firstborn" (rosh ראש). The firstborn of creation is hidden, already, inside a virgin ---ha-adam---when the first...

    Biblionics.

    There's a lot to chew on there since an "m" prefix is an open "m" מ (see the opening at the bottom), while an ending "m" (mem-sofi), i.e., "m" as a suffix, is closed ם (a sealed-garden if you will). Phonetically the "m" (mem) is like "mom," so that a sealed-mom/mem would be an extremely rare mom...

    Biblionics.

    . . . More peculiar still, is the fact that the word for death מת (mt), is also used in the Bible to speak of a man, particularly a husband. The peculiarity arises when we realize that the word for the dish used to mix the leaven from the last batch of dough into the new dough is called the...
