If I may--not sure when that started as to when the pages were destroyed if there was one error. I'm guessing it was right away but I don't know that. I know the Masoretes were fastidious in their copying. There is always so much to do and study, but hopefully I can make this another little project of mine inbetween housework, etc.
OK, I believe that. But I find it interesting that the synagogue would write a page. Anyway -- so be it. I guess all of the scrolls in the synagogues that they take out for reading are handwritten. Thanks for that.
Amazing!
"The popular belief is that people with mental illness are more prone to commit acts of violence and aggression. The public perception of psychiatric patients as dangerous individuals is often rooted in the portrayal of criminals in the media as “crazy” individuals. A large body of data suggests otherwise. People with mental illness are more likely to be a victim of violent crime than the perpetrator. This bias extends all the way to the criminal justice system, where persons with mental illness get treated as criminals, arrested, charged, and jailed for a longer time in jail compared to the general population. This activity reviews psychiatric illness and criminality and the role of the interprofessional team in caring for afflicted patients. ..."
Yes, in Greek grammar rules a neuter can be presented as a 'he' but saying 'he' does Not change an 'it' to a him.
Yes, and God used His spirit on people as found at Numbers 11:17,25 - 'it' (KJV)He does use people
Yes, the scribes Not only counted each word, but counted each letter and started over again if an error was found.
I took 5 years of French. 4 in h.s. and 1 in college. When I left school I decided to go to a French club at NYU. I thought it would be really great. I could not understand one word -- <smile>. So although I did well in school, using it in real life is a different thing for some people. Some learn faster than others. My dad was not born here in the US but came as a young boy from Poland. Five years old. Parents didn't speak a word of English. He went to school in the US but had to quit in junior high because he had to go to work to help his parents. Interesting, ain't it? He was always a hard worker and a great ball player--golf and baseball. But he never spoke the "King's English." He would always say to me when he couldn't think of the word -- "You know what I mean, don't you"? And I would know what he meant and would say it. And he would say, "That's right, that's what I mean..."
I will tell you this, Kenny -- I look forward to seeing my dad and my mother again in the resurrection. I know God reads hearts, He understands the mind and our circumstances.
Yes… on people but not joined Spirit to spirit and thus, as Jesus said, “you must be born again… for that which is born of the Spirit is spirit"

P.S. I was an A student.
OK, I will tell you this, Kenny. My grandparents (father's parents) came from Poland. There they lived in a town inhabited basically by Jews. I was a young child when my grandmother died in the U.S., the only memory I have of her was when she was in her deathbed, my parents were there and I was with them. I must have been three years old and I remember saying to my parents, "What's the matter with grandma?" And my father told me to be quiet. So I was quiet. I did not know she was dying. I have a picture of my parents with my grandmother before I was born.
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words.
I always find it beautiful when a child’s innocence can speak truth.OK, I will tell you this, Kenny. My grandparents (father's parents) came from Poland.

Well, anyway, getting back to my upbringing, my mother would often tell me how persecuted the Jews were in Russia. She would tell me that I couldn't possibly trust a Christian, and especially Germans. I remember saying to her, "But Ma, they can't all be bad." And she said, "They're all bad." I shrugged. I went to a school where there were Christians and Jews, so we intermingled in those days very nicely in school.
Skipping several decades, and much in between, when I found out that Jehovah's Witnesses did not go to war, my first reaction (after arguing a lot) was that, these must be true Christians as they will follow Jesus to the death. That's all for now...
The problem remains that children from different conflicting religious backgrounds speak the 'truth' as taught them by their parents and peers, and by the evidence 95%+ do not change their beliefs in 'truth' when they grow up.
On this note, I’m not sure how one can determine that.

It is a problem with the claims of wisdom from children that is no different from the beliefs of their parents.
The polls of changing within Christianity in recent history only reflects changes of less than a few percentage since 2007 points with non-Christian religions such as Islam and Hinduism showing the biggest gains, See: Chapter 1: The Changing Religious Composition of the U.S.
Iran's Christian Boom
The implications of Christianity's flourishing in Iran are potentially profound.
This is a phenomenon that is happening all over the world but people aren’t aware of it and it challenges the above statement IMV
You can question it. No problem. But even if Baha’i is growing outside of the family… then again, your original statement would be wrong.
