    What is work and what is rest?

    Fancy words, saying its all about G-d, but it comes out looking like its more about YOU. If you loved G-d, you would obey Him. I found it startling that you quoted Mat 23:23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the...

    What is work and what is rest?

    Are you serious? So you would mow the lawn or clean out the garage or work on the bathroom plumbing and consider yourself "keeping sabbath"?????? We can spend time wondering why G-d prohibited kindling a fire. For me, it has to do with it being the ultimate creative act, and on sabbath we...

    What is work and what is rest?

    How do you know what is work and what is rest without going outside of the ten commandments? For example, isn't cooking work? Yet how many of you cook on the Sabbath? Even though Exodus 35:3 specifically forbids the lighting of a fire on the Sabbath!

    Cardinal desires greater sensitivity towards Jews

    My understanding is that when possible the latest editions of the Catholic translations do translate form the Hebrew. Obviously some books such as the Maccabees are translated from Aramaic. However, I wasn't suggesting that you use the Hebrew for your liturgy. I was making an anology for when...

    On the verge of tears again

    Gwen: I know what it's like when hate is so thick you can cut it with a knife. I wish I could somehow reach out and comfort you. I realize fully it doesn't help to know that most don't hate you, because the damage that those who DO hate is so awful. Just always remember that you don't...

    Cardinal desires greater sensitivity towards Jews

    I've heard this song. It can be fixed, although I don't know my way around the copyright issues. But it's easy to add a two eight-note pickup walking up to the downbeat, and make the downbeat a dotted half, and simply change Yahweh to Adonai (meaning Lord). If push comes to shove, and the...

    Cardinal desires greater sensitivity towards Jews

    My guess is that you could simply do what we Jews do. After all, we use the actual Hebrew Manuscript for our Liturgy, and so we run across the ACTUAL sacred name of G-d, the Yad Hey and Vav Hey, all the time, but rather than pronounce it out loud, we substitute "Adonai" which means Lord if we...

    A couple of Questions...

    Dave: To answer your question on Temple sacrifice, I'm going to move from specific to principle back to specific. The law is to be faithful to your spouse, right? "Thou shalt not commit adultery." But if you are not married, you do not have the option to keep this law. You are neither...

    Are you doing anything to prepare for Swine Flu?

    I've been expecting this for a long time. It was never a matter of IF, only a matter of when. Indeed, the virus may yet mutate again and become less virile, and we may escape this, THIS TIME. I hope so. But it will only put off the inevitable for the future. No, it has nothing to do with end...

    I called it untrue. It has to be deliberately untrue to be a lie. If it is not deliberately untrue it is a MISTAKE. Please stop with the trolling.
