Bible Study, Part 6

Image
Creation of Light ( אוֹר ) By Gustave Doré Genesis, Chapter 6 | Sunday – July 25, 2026 B ecause of my continued but minor medical issue , I am still under the influence, and because of this I am not yet able to take up my writing in the same way as I wrote before. This means that I will not be able to keep up with the phase of this " Bible Study series ", and that I will likely commit some mistakes and cut this post shorter than usual; of course, this all depends and it is currently too early for me to tell. At any rate, I have already decided that most of these posts are too long anyways and that it is time for me to cut them down, as a large portion of them are spent repeating the same information. This is why I have decided to create a separate page that I will link to in future posts, explaining the rules that I will apply in this Bible series , because it is getting old having to repeat myself over and over again. And yes, do excuse my candor here, but I am in a little b...

Answering Readers, Part 5

Image
Biblical ( תַּנַ״ךְ ) depiction of the flight from Sodom and Gomorrah Marriage Scandal | Saturday – July 25, 2026 P ersonal issues and problems, read my " Personal Notes series ", concerning my health continues to bedevil me, and as I am writing this post I have just gone through another minor medical issue – this time not serious enough for me to seek medical attention. Now, I would have updated you ( my readers ) about this in my " Medical Emergency Updates ", but since this was only a minor medical issue, I have decided that it simply was not adverse and serious enough for me to switch my focus away from what actually matters, in this case my readers and the letters that they have submitted to me, many of them containing questions that I will attempt to answer in this " Answering Readers series ". Now, because I am somewhat compromised at the moment and because I lack sleep and also because I happen to be writing this post in the middle of the night, I...

Idols

Moses ( מֹשֶׁה ) destroying the tablets containing the Decalogue ( עשרת הדברות ) by James Tissot Idols | Friday – July 24, 2026 I dols and Individualism... How current indeed! Yes, today it seems that people have completely forgotten about the ills of idolatry, a subject that I have covered elsewhere . But it is rather interesting that individualism, a fairly recent concept, has swept the world away in all its glory and fantasies about the greatness of the individual, the one individual, the genius , the painter, perhaps the artist... Why should we (moderns) not pay attention to the idol? I mean, after all most of us do not know how to read properly, let alone how to write or compose, read " Notes on Reading ", but most of us still manage to garner all sorts of opinions about all sorts of things that we really do not know anything about because we are not qualified to know anything about that stuff, yet we feel freer than ever before to express those opinions, and beyond just...

Mechanical Procedures

John ( יוֹחָנָן ) ascending with the Lamb of God ( Ἀμνὸς τοῦ Θεοῦ ) to the New Jerusalem ( καινὴ Ἰερουσαλήμ ) Mechanical Procedures | Thursday – July 23, 2026 S ometimes modern people, ideologues of supposedly different persuasions , make the argument that there is a qualitative and meaningful difference between  democracy and the so-called "tyranny of the majority", and they often go on to argue that within the confines of a democratic society there are certain "checks and balances" that will ensure the proper exercise of the "rule of law", read " The Law Of The Land ", and that in this way the humans rights  of each citizen will be ensured and protected, even guaranteed . The "tyranny of the majority" on the other hand is, they claim , something entirely different: really the rule of mobs and savage fanatics, the lowest and most primitive ( infra-human ) elements in any society , which the vast majority of people tend towards I must...
