Answering Readers, Part 2

Image
Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Relationship Advice | Wednesday – July 1, 2026 A gain I have been invited to answer a question by one of my readers as a part of this series, namely the " Answering Readers series ". Once again I must stress the fact that I am not in control of the questions that my readers are asking me when they write me letters, and while I have no strict rules when it comes to answering your questions, I would prefer if you could keep out any offensive language. The question that I was asked recently and that I intend to cover and provide an answer to in this post was phrased in a somewhat offensive manner, thus I have decided to change the part/s of the question that I deem too offensive; I will indicate this by the usage of brackets ([]) in relevant quotations. Again, this question was asked by a person who did not wish to be anonymous and so I will reveal his name, namely Mr. Jordan Richards. To further reiterate wha...

Life Under the Sun

Installation of the Goddess Amaterasu of the Sun ( 天照大(御)神 ) Life Under the Sun | Tuesday – June 30, 2026 F or millennia the Sun in the sky represented the God Almighty over the Earth and subsequently over human power , the God that gave life to every breath, really the God who gave and gave without asking for anything in return – indeed the Sun God was not only eternal but the one source , the one source that gave light, that provided justice and cosmological equilibrium , really the Sun is and was always the greater light , read Genesis 1:16 . This depiction of the Sun as a powerful God, most often the most powerful God is nothing new, as alluded to above, and if there is something truly universal about the human experience, the human condition if you will, it must be the reign of the Sun during the day and the reign of the lesser Sun, the Moon, during the night. You see, what I am getting at here is actually the intrinsic structure of the universe and of life itself: it is the case...

Photograph of the Atlas globe Pride | Monday – June 29, 2026 Pride...  P Pride this and pride that. Modern people seem to be prideful (proud) of a lot of things, really a lot of things that really do not amount to much upon further examination. For instance, I thought that it would be in keeping with the times to bring up homosexual pride  here at the end of June, but really that is just one thing that modern people seem to be very prideful about, but the most annoying thing about pride in the colloquial sense is not homosexual pride, or national pride , but the fact that moderns will be very selective with what they consider appropriate pride, because of course there are many things that you are not supposed to be prideful of these days as well, and to me it all does seem somewhat convoluted, until you consider why moderns behave in this way.     First of all, most of these aforementioned behaviors stem not from something that happens consciously but is rather a re...

Bible Study, Part 2

Image
Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 2 | Sunday – June 28, 2026 I n the previous part of this series I covered Genesis chapter 1 , and in this part I intend to cover chapter 2 consisting of 25 verses. Again, I must reiterate from the previous post that I am relying on a certain Biblical source, namely the Catholic New Revised Standard ( NRSV-CE ), and while any Bible should be adequate for this study there are certain and often subtle differences and nuances to be taken into account whenever a study of this kind is considered, and if you are indeed relying on another published form of the Bible then you are responsible for keeping track of each verse of each chapter and the possibility that your particular Bible may not align in every word with the words of every verse mentioned and/or quoted in this study. I should also point out that I may or may not quote certain verses from the Bible, in this case Genesis Chapter 2, depending on the situation, as for th...
