  • Are You Cursed If You Don't Tithe? - In order to be a student of scripture, at some point you have to study on your own. You see, when you don't study scriptures on your own, you run into a couple of problems. #1.

  • The Canon Of The Old Testament - The word canon is derived from the Greek word kanon (“kanon”), a rod, ruler, staff, or measuring rod. The Biblical canon is the list of books recognized by the leaders of the church, based on objective criteria, to be inspired by God and to authoritatively and accurately express the historical relationship between God and His people. For the Old Testament, the canon was initially implicit and undisputed. When the Torah was written, it was immediately recognized as inspired by God, handled with great reverence, maintained by the priests and stored in the Ark of the Covenant. Most other books of the Old Testament were handled in the same manner. While the Jewish nation was flourishing under judges and kings, and prophets were recognized as men from God, their history and prophecies were written and protected by the priests and scribes.

  • Alan Greenspan Isn't a Libertarian, Complacency Isn't Stability, and Debt Isn't Wealth - A recent New York Times article "Taking a Hard New Look at Alan Greenspan's Legacy" (Peter S. Goodman), did an entertaining job of slamming former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, and for that, I'd gratefully subscribe (if I could afford it). But there was a pigeon sized fly in the Timesian ointment-- the article calls Greenspan a libertarian with a straight face, and blames the financial crisis, not on Chairman Greenspan's monetary policy lead foot, but on his "faith" in "free markets". Anyone who spends his entire (much too long) career horsing interest rates up and down according to his own bad forecasts can't possibly be a libertarian, no matter if he once knew Ayn Rand (who said she wasn't a libertarian anyway), and no matter how many times he may have said the words "free market" (undoubtedly with his fingers crossed).
  • Cuffs, Torques And Men’s Bangles - Cuff Torques and Bangles are a popular form of men’s jewelry. These items are not just masculine in form but these items carry an interesting history.

Instead of sitting them home this Halloween, send them off trick-or-treating with these Christian Halloween costumes. These are costumes approved in the name of Christ -- something that you know will not negatively influence young, impressionable children. Saintly Angels and Such Angels and saints are closest to God, great influences on young kids. It was the angel Gabriel himself who told Mary she was pregnant with Jesus.

  • Do Jews Interpret the Bible Differently from Christians? - One of the principal concerns of classical Jewish thought is the importance of biblical texts and their interpretation. Another focal concern of classical Judaism is the implementation and application of "halakhah" (Jewish Law) as derived from biblical and rabbinic sources. With that in mind, "extracting" as much as possible from a biblical passage is of critical importance to a Jewish epistemology. The process of reading, interpreting, and elucidating biblical texts is an ancient Jewish pre-occupation.
  • Pharisees Seek To Find Fault In Jesus And Hold A Meeting To Discuss How To Destroy Him - Many of the mysteries of spirituality have been hidden from the wise and the prudent and have been revealed to the babes of the land. God likes people to be humble and meek because he says that is what he is – meek and lowly in heart. Therefore, he seeks to give rest to those who are like him and will learn from him, and promises burdens to become lighter. The Pharisees seem to always be looking for fault in Jesus and his disciples. There was a time when Jesus went on the Sabbath day through the corn. His disciples were hungry and began to pluck the ears of corn and to eat. When the Pharisees saw this, they complained that the disciples did something not lawful on the Sabbath day.
  • Chromotherapy In The Bathroom - Relax Your Mind While You Soak - Chromotherapy is sometimes called colour therapy or light therapy and is based upon a premise that certain colours are infused with healing properties. In the early Egyptian culture the subject of a relationship between light and healing was a secret only available to the priests.

  • Make Your Home As Safe As Houses - When the great pharaoh, Khufu, died the priests sealed his mummified body and a rich collection of his most valued possessions inside the Great Pyramid at Giza. As they sealed it shut, the priests must have thought that such a fortress of limestone and granite would keep the grave robbers at bay for all eternity. They could never have imagined that thieves could ever ransack the world's strongest tomb. They could never have imagined losing the great Pharaoh's treasure forever, or that his body would find its resting place in an apothecary's shop, ground up for use as a medicine. The priest's failure to keep Khufu's tomb secure shows that if the potential rewards are great enough, no building can hope to keep the criminal at bay.
  • Age New Spirituality – Inspirational Stories ( Part 111 ) - In all these cases where hymns were written about all these gods, the Being perceived was one and the same; it was the perceiver who made the difference. It was the hymnist,the sage, the poet,who sang in different languages and different words, the praise of one and the same Being. "That which exists is One; sages call It by various names." Tremendous results have followed from that one verse. Some of you,perhaps,are surprised to think that India is the only country where there never has been a religious persecution, where never was any man disturbed for his religious faith. Theists or atheists, monists, dualists, monotheists are there and always live unmolested.

  • Amazing Trivia Part 1 - I admit it .. I LIKE trivia, tho it serves no purpose for me since I can never remember any to bring up in conversation. But still, it is fun, so I've created this list of amazing trivia that I found to be absolutely riveting. 1. Snails can sleep up to 3 years. Not so amazing actually since I managed to sleep thru 6 years of jr. high and high school. And when you think about it, what do snails have to do all their lives? Sure, they leave great slime trails and make excellent targets for salt shakers and little boys, but other than that there’s not much more to do but sleep after an exhausting run across a sidewalk. 2.
