    A rabbi admits an offensive Talmud quote is legit

    From politically correct point of view, the offensive quotes in the Talmud were all made up by antisemites in order to make an excuse to hate the Jews. And in actuality Talmud doesn't say this stuff, it just been twisted, mistranslated, etc. But then what about this youtube video by a Rabbi...

    Proverbs 7

    I don't normally read Psalms or Proverbs since I tend to regard it as just a poetry rather than serious scripture, but recently I watched Youtube video that talked about Proverbs 7 and this got my attention. Contrary to what I thought, Proverbs 7 IS a serious chapter, and I find it a lot more...

    Putin and the Jews

    Putin had soft place in his heart towards Jewish people. This is because when he was a little boy, the Jewish family gave him food. Also one of his teachers was Jewish and he bought her an apartment in Israel. Also some of his judo coaches were Jewish as well. He put his month's salary to the...

    Is there Hebrew Roots churches in Flagstaff AZ

    I moved to Flagstaff AZ because I got teaching job at CCC. I found two churches that meet on Saturday (see 1 and 2 below), but I am not happy with either of them. I also found one more church (item 3) but apparently it moved from Flagstaff to Sacramento. So here is what I found: 1)...

    News have time machine

    I read the following article titled "Biden claims without evidence he was at Ground Zero on day after 9/11 attacks" (see MSN ) that claims what Biden said the day after September 11. But guess what, it is still September 11. How could that article ever be written without time machine?

    Defining left vs right

    The political spectrum has actually two parameters: one is top vs bottom and the other is left vs right. The top vs bottom is pretty straightforward: top is more covernment, bottom is less government. But left vs right is a lot more difficult to define. In issues such as taxes or gun control the...

    Is it sinful to extract teeth and/or do root canal?

    I see it sinful for two reasons: 1) It is a permanent change to the body. So it is sinful for the same reason as tatoo is sinful 2) There is actually a notion of alive tooth and dead tooth. Those procedures actually start out with alive tooth and end up with dead tooth. So they violate the...

    A good movie to show Calvinists

    Of course, people who watch "The haunting of Molly Hartley" might not admit they have satanic tendencies, but they probably do. Thats why they enjoy the movie. The reason they don't admit it is because they were dissensitized by modern culture. I am sure that devoted Christians would probably...

    How I read "love your neighbor" as a 12 year old

    I was brought up in a secular Jewish family in Russia, so religion wasn't something that was in my mind a lot. In fact, religion was limitted to passover celebrations. Outside of that, I didn't think much about it. So one of those days, when I was around 12, there was an article in the secular...

    Is Alvin Bragg related to Paul Bragg?

    There was a nutritionist Paul Bragg, who wrote a book "Miracle of fasting". My family followed "some" of it and raised me with this. I must say though that while his book talked about prolonged fasts, my family never done it. What they did were 36 hour fasts, as a go-to thing when we got cold or...

    Deconstructing the faith

    I have Asperger Syndrome, so sometimes what is common knowledge to others is news to me. So I never heard the term "deconstructing the faith" up until the last two sermons at my church. When my pastor first mentioned it, my instinctive understanding of the term was that it is an attempt to...

    Introduction

    I know I have registered several years ago, but apparently I was busy with other stuff so I just registered and never posted anything. I actually tried to register today and it told me ``the email address already exists" and that gave me a clue to reset a password. Well, now that I finally...
