142. A Letter To Louise Rev. Bruce Lowe assures Louise that her homosexual brother is not going to hell. Extensive references and bibliography plus appendices on biblical interpretation and OT and NT biblical commentary. http://www.godmademegay.com/

A Biblical Affirmation of Homosexuality Dear Reader, When I began reading I soon realized things about myself I now deplore: I was ignorant of the many facts about homosexuality and what the Bible says about it. Yet, without facts, I had pre-judged it; I was prejudiced. With little thought I had read into the Bible what I presumed it ought to say instead of reading out of it what it did say . My idea of not needing to study the subject was pure anti-intellectualism. I am now grateful to God that He led me to study. I read some two score books, most by eminent sociologists, psychologists and theologians. Then I wrote this letter to Louise, reflecting what I have come to believe is the truth about homosexuality, what the Bible says and what God wants us to think and do about it. Bruce W.

145. Biblical Personalities: Adam A contemporary Jewish look at the first created man. http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/41.html

Biblical Personalities: Adam "The fleshy part of Adam’s heel outshone the globe of the sun" (Zohar 1:142b). "When the Holy One, Blessed be He, was about to create Adam, the Attribute of Kindness said: ‘Let him be created,’ but the Attribute of Truth said, 'Let him not be created.' God took Truth and cast it to the ground. Said the ministering angels before the Holy One, ‘Why do you scorn Truth?’ While the ministering angels were debating the issue, The Holy One created Adam" (Genesis Rabbah 8:5). Even at the beginning of God’s creation there was complexity. Adam, who was brought from the earth (adamah) on Rosh Hashonah (as Tradition, which knows no bounds of history or time, tells us) was the most precious of all God’s creatures, closer to God than that of the ministering angels. He was bigger than all succeeding human creations. Until he sinned, Adam physically extended from the earth to the sky. After he and Eve disobeyed the Almighty, the Holy One placed His Hands upon Adam and diminished him. The idea of the perfect human being was always limited, and because of its limitations, and because of man’s indigenous corporeal nature, God would almost surely find fault with Adam and all his progeny. Yet the quest for perfection, spiritual and religious, despite the impossibility of its achievement, was injected into the first pages of the Biblical narrative. And yet even that noble if unachievable idea was already mitigated by another idea, set forth in a parable from Genesis Rabbah cited above, that man’s very existence is founded upon the tomb in which Truth is imprisoned. The first man owed his existence to God’s mercy. The message? One must sacrifice veracity for the sake of love and compassion.

149. Biblical Personalities: Jonah A contemporary Jewish look at the truant prophet. http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/92.html

Biblical Personalities: Jonah Jonah defended the honor of the child (Israel) rather than the honor of the Father (God) (Mechilta, Pesikta 28). He entered the mouth of the fish like a man entering a large synagogue, and he was able to stand up. The two eyes of the fish were like clear windows which gave light to Jonah and enabled him to see all that was in the ocean’s depths... (Pirke d’Rabbi Eliezer 10). “And the Lord prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah” (Jonah 2:1). This is the verse Father Mapple employs as the text of his sermon to the ill-fated shipmates of the Pequod. Father Mapple, assisted by Herman Melville, is a brilliant if fearsome expositor. He recognizes the great complexity and anguish simmering within Jonah, this most reluctant of all Israel’s typically reluctant prophets, who, faced with delivering a message of repentance to Israel’s enemy, the Ninevites, flees instead, taking a ship to the foreign port of Tarshish. The Lord can be abandoned, but not in the case of a prophet. The Almighty is used to recalcitrance - indeed, it seems a salient characteristic of his “chosen” instruments of the Word. Yet Jonah goes too far. Or does he? In a stunning midrashic “re-creation” of the narrative, Jonah is seen as Israel’s defender, rather than as a coward who avoids his mission. This is less extraordinary than it first appears. Israel’s prophets, beginning with Abraham, received righteousness “points” for coming to the aid of the nation. Defending the “son” against the “Father” was always an acceptable modus operandi in an argument with the Heavenly Court.

150. Is Universalism Biblical? An essay by Ron Rhodes of Reasoning from the Scriptures Ministry. http://home.earthlink.net/~ronrhodes/Universalism.html

Downloadable Articles Is Universalism Biblical? Universalism states that sooner or later all people will be saved. This position holds that the concepts of hell and punishment are inconsistent with a loving God. The older form of universalism, originating in the second century, taught that salvation would come after a temporary period of punishment. The newer form of universalism declares that all men are now saved, though all do not realize it. Therefore the job of the preacher and the missionary is to tell people they are already saved. Certain passages - John 12:32, Philippians 2:11, and 1 Timothy 2:4 - are typically twisted out of context in support of universalism. Such passages, interpreted properly, do not support universalism: John 12:32 says that Christ's work on the cross makes possible the salvation of both Jews and Gentiles. Notice, however, that the Lord - in the same passage - warned of judgment of those who reject Christ (v. 48). Philippians 2:10-11 assures us that someday all people will acknowledge that Jesus is Lord, but not necessarily as Savior. (Even those in hell will have to acknowledge Christ's Lordship.)

152. CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Jacob Commentary on the biblical patriarch from the traditional Catholic perspective. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08261a.htm

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... J > Jacob A B C D ... Z Jacob The son of Isaac and Rebecca, third great patriarch of the chosen people, and the immediate ancestor of the twelve tribes of Israel. The incidents of his life are given in parts of Gen., xxv, 21-1, 13, wherein the documents (J, E, P) are distinguished by modern scholars (see ABRAHAM, I, 52). His name possibly an abbreviation of Jacob-El (Babylonian: Ya kub-ilu ), with which compare Israel, Ismael etc. means "supplanter", and refers to a well-known circumstance of his birth (Gen., xxv, 25). His early years were marked by various efforts to get the birthright from his brother Esau. His struggle for it began before he was born (xxv, 22-5). Later, he took advantage of Esau's thoughtlessness and despair to buy it from him for a pottage of lentils (xxv, 29-33). In virtue of this purchase, and through a ruse, he finally got it by securing the blessing which Isaac intended for Esau (xxvii, 1-37), Then it was that, to escape his brother's avenging wrath, and apparently also to obtain a wife from his parents' stock, he fled to Haran, the dwelling place of Laban, his maternal uncle (xxvii, 41-xxviii, 5). On his way thither, he had at Luza the vision of the angels ascending and descending by a mysterious ladder which reached from earth to heaven, and of Yahweh renewing to him the glorious promises which He had made to Abraham and to Isaac; in consequence of this, he called the place

153. Biblical Personalities: Isiah A contemporary Jewish look at the prophet and his representative home life. http://www.emanuelnyc.org/bulletin/archive/89.html

Biblical Personalities: Hosea All the prophets called upon Israel to repent, but not like Hosea. Jeremiah and Isaiah did not teach Israel what to say, whereas Hosea taught them how to appease God: “Say to Him, ‘Forgive all iniquity...’” (Hosea 14:3). In addition, Hosea declared Israel to be merely stumblers, as it is written: “You have stumbled in your iniquity” (Pesikta Rabbati 44:23). The Holy One, Blessed is He, said to Reuben: “You were the first to repent. By your life, your descendant will be the first to urge repentance.” This refers to Hosea, who said, “Return, O Israel” (Hosea 14:2) (Bereishit Rabbah 84:19). Compared to the love Moses expressed toward the people of Israel, and compared to the contempt Balaam expressed toward them, Hosea was neutral about Israel: he neither loved nor hated them (Bamidbar Rabbah 2:17). It is the eighth century B.C.E. The Northern Kingdom of Israel is being threatened by the Assyrians and is on the verge of collapse. Hosea, the son of Beeri, is chosen, at the beginning of his ministry, to represent the sins and waywardness of the Jewish people by means of a marriage to a harlot. Obediently, he follows the Divine imperative, and marrying Gomer, they preside over the births of two sons, Jezreel and Lo-ammi, and a daughter, Lo-ruhamah. The progeny have both specific and symbolic destinies. Jezreel is to bring to an end the kingdom of Jehu. Lo-ruhamah, meaning “that hath not obtained compassion,” and Lo-ammi, meaning “not my people,” represent the Lord’s rejection of Israel.

154. Musa The traditional Muslim view of the biblical brothers, with Koranic references. http://www.angelfire.com/on/ummiby1/musa.html

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" Prophet Musa (Moses) Prophet Harun (Aaron) The pharaoh who ruled Egypt was a tyrant who oppressed the descendants of Jacob (pbuh), known as the children of Israel (Bani Israel). He used every means to demean and disgrace them. They were kept in bondage and forced to work for him for small wages or nothing. Under this system the people obeyed and worshipped the pharaoh, and the ruling class carried out his orders, thereby authorizing his tyranny and crazy whims. The pharaoh wanted the people to obey him only, and to believe in the gods of his invention. Perhaps, during that time, there were many classes of people who did not believe in or practice polytheism; however, they kept this to themselves and outwardly did as they were expected to do, without revolting or revealing themselves to anyone. Thus, successive dynasties came to Egypt and assumed that they were gods or their representative or spokesmen. Years passed, and a despotic king, who was adored by the Egyptians, ruled Egypt. His king saw the children of Israel multiplying and prospering. He heard them talking about a vague vision that one of Israel' s sons would dethrone the pharaoh of Egypt. Perhaps this vision was only a daydream that persisted within the hearts of the persecuted minority, or perhaps it was a prophecy from their books.

Moses, Aaron and Miriam Moses Aaron Miriam Moses, Aaron and Miriam Level: Basic Moses, Aaron and Miram were the leaders of the Children of Israel at a pivotal time in our history: the Exodus from Egypt and the forty years of wandering in the desert before the people entered the Promised Land An entire book could be written on the stories of these three people. Indeed, four books have already been written: the biblical books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy, which tell the story of their life and times. This page can only begin to scratch the surface. The history below is derived from written Torah Talmud Midrash and other sources. Where information comes directly from the Bible , I have provided citations. As with the stories of the patriarchs , modern scholars question the historical accuracy of this information; however, scholars also claimed that the Torah could not have been written at that time because alphabetic Moses Moses was the greatest prophet , leader and teacher that Judaism has ever known. In fact, one of
