Lewsi made this same observation in his book ABOLITION OF MAN.<br /><br />The fact of the matter is that free will is SELF-EVIDENT by virtue of the very fact that LAWS have always existed. LAWS that man has always been FREE to obey or disobey.<br /><br />The Law given to Adam in the Garden of Eden was not only God's way of revealing to Adam that Adam was NOT God - but also Gods way of revealing to Adam the gift of free will with which Adam had been endowed by God - one of the qualities by which man is described as having been made "in the image and likeness of God."<br /><br />When one thinks about it, if Adam were merely an "automaton," why would God have made a LAW forbidding something that Adam "couldn't help doing anyway?"Susannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-20504964408882987782009-05-20T08:31:26.369-04:002009-05-20T08:31:26.369-04:00Len,
EINSTEIN AND PROBABILITY
This discussion, b...Len,<br /><br />EINSTEIN AND PROBABILITY<br /><br />This discussion, besides being a very interesting "adventure," is also very educational in so far as it is really giving my brain a workout. :-)<br /><br />After reasoning things through I have concluded that I don't really have a problem with Einstein's acceptance of probability. Ergo, I feel that as far as probabilism goes, I can <B>philosophically</B> remain safely in the Einstein camp without letting go of my determinist view of reality. Because I don't believe that Einstein was <B>completely</B> rejecting determinism when he came to embrace the "probabalism" needed to properly get one's mind around Quantum Physics. :-)<br /><br />This is because acceptance of the idea of probability isn't <B>necessarily</B> a rejection of determinism. <br /><br />Probababilism is, by its very definition, simply a way of saying that one doesn't know with complete certainty what the "cause" is of any given phenomena.<br /><br />"In theology and philosophy, probabilism (from Latin probare, to test, approve) holds that in the absence of certainty, probability is the best criterion."<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probabilism<br /><br />The way I learned it, whether we are talking about science or philosophy, EVERYTHING in the physical universe NECESSARILY has a cause - whether we can know said cause with any certainty or not. <br /><br />In fact, the only "uncaused Cause" (a.k.a. "unmoved Mover") is what is commonly understood as "God."<br /><br />The place where confusion can arise is when science and the discipline proper to science is morphed into "scientism" and applied to everything - including philosophy and religion.<br /><br />This is where the "necessitarian" philosophies arise - according to which FREE WILL in man is nonexistent.Susannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-59151665484934185192009-05-20T07:41:24.727-04:002009-05-20T07:41:24.727-04:00I for one would LOVE Joyce to have her own blog/we...I for one would LOVE Joyce to have her own blog/website.<br /><br />Mainly so that we could ask questions and not feel we are diverting from the subject of Constance's material.<br /><br />She CAN preach & teach!

This is a subtile distinction that might not be clear. <br /><br />Here's what the tzizit or the corner of a Jews garment or tassels were commanded for:<br /><br />Num. 15:38-40 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves atassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue. “It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, so that you may remember to do all My commandments and abe holy to your God. <br /><br />It's to remember the commandments and not play the harlot. <br /><br />This is why Yeshua taught that we should keep the commandments, so if you grab the tzizit of Yeshua...you will have His righteousness:<br /><br />Matt. 5:17-19 “Do not think that I came to abolish the aLaw or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. “For truly I say to you, auntil heaven and earth pass away, not 1the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.<br /> “Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least ain the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.<br /><br />The Greek word according to Thayer's is to "fill up completely" or to cram full, according to Strong's.. <br />When we look at Yeshua's life and we grab hold of His tzizt, we receive His righteousness. He filled these commands up with their real meaning. He didn't try to make an "ism". <br /><br />He taught on Shabbat, but He healed on Shabbat, He went to Jerusalem for Pesach and He was the Lamb of Pesach, He cleansed people from unrighteousness, through His own righteousness. Through His blood. He did annul Torah. He explained Torah. <br /><br />Here Yeshua explains His justice to the corrupt religious leaders of His day. Take heed. Religion will not save anyone:<br /><br />Matthew Chap 23- you can read the rest of the chapter yourself. I'll just post the first few verses. <br />Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;<br /> therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.“They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. “But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen cthe tassels of their garments.<br /><br />Joycejoycenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-64521002917577463672009-05-20T00:40:45.330-04:002009-05-20T00:40:45.330-04:00Len,

Susann...5/19/2009<br /><br />Einstein fought Quantum Theory.<br /><br />Susanna wrote: "I guess I am in the Einstein camp. I don't think he ever changed his determinist (cause and effect) view, but I am willing to stand corrected if I am mistaken. I would have likewise refused to let go of my classical determinist (cause and effect) view of reality.<br /><br />Dear Susanna,<br /><br />Einstein fought the probalistic nature of Quantum physics and coined his famous "God does not play dice with the unhiverse" remark. But experiment after experiment by many physicists, several performed after his death, have decisively proven him wrong.<br /><br />But this was not his only error. When he developed his general relativity theory he tried to force it to agree with the general impression that the universe was static. To do this he inserted a "cosmological onstant" in his equations. Otherwise they would show that the universe was either expanding or contracting.<br /><br />Even at the time, he apologized for the introduction because it spoiled the elegant simplicity of the field equations that he had struggled so hard to find and he later dropped the term for irrelevant reasons. <br /><br />Astrophysicists soon found that the equations mandated that the universe was dynamic and that the term was neccessary. Later Einstein called his reasoning his greatest blunder.<br /><br />LenLennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-65228487378689106962009-05-19T21:56:58.768-04:002009-05-19T21:56:58.768-04:005/19/2009
Heisenberg Uncertainty Priciple of Quan...5/19/2009<br /><br />Heisenberg Uncertainty Priciple of Quantum Physics:<br /><br />Dear Susanna,<br /><br />This is very technical and I am no quantum expert. In fact, as an old electrical engineer, with a master's degree, I never took a course in this subject.<br /><br />Physicists DO understand it. Here is the beginning of the Wikipedia explanation before it gets too technical:<br /><br />In quantum physics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that certain pairs of physical properties, like position and momentum, cannot both be known to arbitrary precision. That is, the more precisely one property is known, the less precisely the other can be known. It is impossible to measure simultaneously both position and velocity of a microscopic particle with any degree of accuracy or certainty. This is not a statement about the limitations of a researcher's ability to measure particular quantities of a system, but rather about the nature of the system itself and hence it expresses a property of the universe.<br /><br />In quantum mechanics, a particle is described by a wave. The position is where the wave is concentrated and the momentum is the wavelength. The position is uncertain to the degree that the wave is spread out, and the momentum is uncertain to the degree that the wavelength is ill-defined.<br /><br />The only kind of wave with a definite position is concentrated at one point, and such a wave has an indefinite wavelength. Conversely, the only kind of wave with a definite wavelength is an infinite regular periodic oscillation over all space, which has no definite position. So in quantum mechanics, there are no states that describe a particle with both a definite position and a definite momentum. The more precise the position, the less precise the momentum.<br /><br />End Wiki!<br /><br />While inexact, you may be able to comprehend this analogy: If I throw a ball you can determine its lkocation at any time by stopping it and measuring its location. But when you have done this you end your chance of measuring its speed.<br /><br />If you want to measure its speed you can time its movement between two points but that stops you from determininng its location.<br /><br />This is not exactly true for a baseball but it is true for quantum particles because of the wierdness exhibited.<br /><br />It has absolutely nothing to do with New Age.<br /><br />LenLennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-29146785052161706372009-05-19T21:25:08.739-04:002009-05-19T21:25:08.739-04:00Continued from prior message:
Here is the exegete...Continued from prior message:<br /><br />Here is the exegete Ibn Ezra on Isaiah Ch. 56: 3 “The foreigner” – These are the proselytes, the true proselytes (before they have converted).<br /><br />Here is Redak on 3 - The prophet addresses particularly the proselytes and the eunuchs because neither one will have a share in the Holy Land, the proselyte because he is not of Jewish stock and the eunuch because he has no children. They should not think, because of this, they are separated from the Holy Land, for I will give them other benefits. In fact Ezek. 47:22 we see that the proselytes will inherit a share of the Holy Land. We must, therefore interpret our verse as referring to a proselyte who did not beget children after conversion.<br /><br />Redak on 4 - “To My Covenant” – The Commandments bear more weight since they were given with a covenant. Alternatively it may refer to the covenant of the circumcision.<br /><br />Jonathan on 6 - “who join with the Lord” – With the people of the Lord!<br />“everyone who observes the Sabbath: -- He commanded His nation, that He had chosen for Himself, to observe this Sabbath ---He therefore gave them the Sabbath before giving them the rest of the Torah. --- Anyone who joins the Jewish people must believe that Moses and his Torah are true, and only in this manner can he become part of the Jewish people.<br /><br />Redak on 7 “I will bring them” - Just as one brings a guest into his home and welcomes him cordially, so will I command the priests to cordially accept all who come to convert.<br /><br />Ibn Ezra on 8 --“I will gather (together with His gathered ones)” Like Rashii, Ibn Ezra interprets this as reference to the proselytes who will join Israel.<br /><br />End Isaiah 56!<br /><br />Joyce wrote: "In speaking of Pesach, the Lord says to Moses:<br />Ex. 12:49 “The same law shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you.” <br /><br />The Hebrew for “stranger” is “ger” which means proselyte. The word for a gentile stranger is “naykhar” and this word is used in Isaiah 56:6 to describe a gentile stranger (who will be converting).<br /><br />By using an (invalid) out-of-context verse you are ignoring the entire paragraph that immediately precedes it and which decisively contradicts your interpretation.<br /><br />Joyce wrote: "In the Millennial Kingdom, God says whoever is left in the nations will celebrate Succot."<br /><br />Sukkot is not Shabbat! Sukkot is, in fact, a holiday that honors the 70 nations with 70 sacrificial bulls over its span.<br /><br />Joyce wrote: "In the Newer Covenant, James expected the new Gentile believers from the nations to go to the synagogue every SABBATH.. that was without conversion. This is the subject of Jerusalem Council: And then they would go to the synagogue on Shabbat. "<br /><br />Gentiles are welcome in my synagogue on Shabbat; and my rabbi’s prospective convert often attends.

Paul did not believe that someone had to "convert" to Judaism because Judaism is not Torah." <br /><br />I have always considered that Paul might have been merely encouraging gentiles to observe the Noahite laws but that the redactors distorted his message to form their new religion. <br />In particular:<br /><br />Acts 15:19 Therefore it is my judgment that we should not trouble those from among the Gentiles who are turning to God: <br />20: But that we should write to them to abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.<br /><br />Rom 13: 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shalt not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet;” and any other commandment there may be, are summed up in this sentence, [namely,], “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”<br /><br />Joyce wrote: "Sabbath is not only for Jews. The verse I quoted from Isaiah, which I will quote again is very clear:<br />Is. 56:6 “Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD, <br />To minister to Him, and to love the name of the LORD, <br />To be His servants, every one who keeps from profaning the sabbath <br />And holds fast My covenant; <br />Is. 56:7 Even those I will bring to My holy mountain <br />And make them joyful in My house of prayer. <br />Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar; <br />For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” <br /><br />>>Conversion to Judaism is never ONCE mentioned in Torah. <br /><br />What is not very clear to you is that this is close to what you say is not mentioned; especially with the verse you omitted again:<br /><br />8 So says the Lord God, Who gathers in the dispersed of Israel, I will yet gather others to him, together with his gathered ones.<br /><br />Here are the Rashii words in brackets:<br /><br />2 who will do this [who observes the Sabbath, etc.] 3 “The Lord will surely separate me from His people,” [Why should I become converted? Will not the Holy One, blessed be He, separate me from His people when He pays their reward.] Let not the eunuch say [Why should I better my ways and my deeds? I am like a withered tree, for lack of remembrance.] 4 and hold fast 7 for all peoples [Not only for Israel, but also for the proselytes.] 8 I will yet gather [of the heathens (of the nations) who will convert and join them.] together with his gathered ones [In addition to the gathered ones of Israel.]<br /><br />Continued!

Your thought that "this person should be excluded because we don't like what they bring to the table" is spot on however, it's not what Joyce 'brings to the table' many (most) don't like. It's HOW she brings it to the table most have a problem with. The manner in which she bashes others' research, suggests everyone ignores OTHER people's contributions while only reading hers, and pretty much damns everyone but herself to hell approach is what MOST here are completely fed up with! I'm sticking with the 'oreo cookie in the face' poster here!<br />What do you think 'lurkers' who are not Christians think when they read the way 'Christians' (whether Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, etc)have to defend their own beliefs from a fellow "Christian"?! "To expose NA activity is great, however not to provide the proper alternative is an enormous error." It is also an enormous error not to do so with a spirit of humility and love. We are not all as perfect as Joyce wants us to be.<br /><br />Glad to be Forgiven by Jesus, Not Joyce.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-57233621192686585382009-05-19T18:00:32.013-04:002009-05-19T18:00:32.013-04:00P.S.

There are some I am sure who remain here as lurkers, who are not believers. To expose NA activity is great, however not to provide the proper alternative is an enormous error. If a reader finds even an ounce of truth from anything Joyce or anyone else has posted regarding the gospel and comes to know our Messiah, then in my mind sifting through the extra posts is worth it. There are still plenty of people doing their share of informative posting, for one to still find new information. Not to mention the great links Constance has provided on the front page, which if you check frequently provide a wealth of info. All I am trying to say is to take a "this person should be excluded because we don't like what they bring to the table" type of stance, is to adopt the exact methods the NA uses towards christianity.Bleedin Red White and Blue Baby!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06867605129975323481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-51724416504629971672009-05-19T17:35:14.727-04:002009-05-19T17:35:14.727-04:00Dear Len,

That video "Quantum Wierdness" was defi...Dear Len,<br /><br />That video "Quantum Wierdness" was definitely worth watching!<br /><br />These are just my thoughts....and I am not pretending in any way to be a scientific "expert."<br /><br />If I understand the QUANTUM WIERDNESS video correctly, scientists don't seem to be able to explain WHY it appears that the "observer" effects the thing observed by the very act of observing. <br /><br />But this is nevertheless exactly one of the points co-opted by New Agers who interpret it in terms of their subjectivist view that "reality" depends upon their experience.<br /><br />I guess I am in the Einstein camp. I don't think he ever changed his determinist (cause and effect) view, but I am willing to stand corrected if I am mistaken. <br /><br />I would have likewise refused to let go of my classical determinist (cause and effect) view of reality.<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinism <br /><br />I also don't think I would be able to get my mind around the idea that I had <B>caused</B> something to occur simply in the act of observing it.<br /><br />I do not accept a view of reality where the "measuring rod" is NOT independent of the things being measured. <br /><br />Like Einstein, I too would think "something is missing" or "something is wrong with this picture."<br /><br />IMHO, something is flawed, and I don't necessarily believe that the scientists have been able to demonstrate what they claim they have been able to demonstrate. (like "global warming" LOL ) But that's just me.<br /><br />C.S. Lewis once made a very interesting observation.<br /><br />"What you get from your experience depends upon the beliefs you bring to your experience."<br /><br />Is there any absolute guarantee that certain scientists aren't making the "results" of their experiments with subatomic particles say what they want them to say? <br /><br />That said "results" are not "results" at all...but instead are ready-made opinions made to appear as "results?" <br /><br />The reason I would even think to ask a question like this is because in Nazi Germany, Einstein's work was called "Jewish Physics" as opposed to the <B>"Deutsche Physic"</B> or <B>"Aryan Physics."</B>which began as an extension of a German nationalistic movement in the physics community.<br /><br />It is interesting to consider the following in "Quantum Theory" terms of "the observer" and "the thing observed."<br /><br /><I>Deutsche Physik has been compared to some contemporary postmodern positions, particularly the idea that science is somehow influenced by a scientist's gender, ethnicity or cultural background. For example, Noam Chomsky has said of postmodern attempts to criticise science:<br /><br />In fact, the entire idea of "white male science" reminds me, I'm afraid, of "Jewish physics". Perhaps it is another inadequacy of mine, but when I read a scientific paper, I can't tell whether the author is white or is male. The same is true of discussion of work in class, the office, or somewhere else. I rather doubt that the non-white, non-male students, friends, and colleagues with whom I work would be much impressed with the doctrine that their thinking and understanding differ from "white male science" because of their "culture or gender and race." I suspect that "surprise" would not be quite the proper word for their reaction......</I>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Physik<br /><br />I hope I am making sense. :-)Susannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11772087.post-81476495944011912042009-05-19T16:20:00.000-04:002009-05-19T16:20:00.000-04:00Robert Schuller is involved in a new conference. ...Robert Schuller is involved in a new conference.

Now you have understood Paul. Paul did not ...Len, <br />Now you have understood Paul. Paul did not believe that someone had to "convert" to Judaism because Judaism is not Torah. Judaism is derived from Torah, but it came later on, post-Babylon. <br /><br />You have now begun to understand many of the corrections that Yeshua made and Paul, when they confronted the religious leaders of their day. <br /><br />Sabbath is not only for Jews. The verse I quoted from Isaiah, which I will quote again is very clear:<br /><br />Is. 56:6 “Also the aforeigners who join themselves to the LORD, <br /> To minister to Him, and to love the name of the LORD, <br /> To be His servants, every one who bkeeps from profaning the sabbath <br /> And holds fast My covenant; <br />Is. 56:7 Even those I will bring to My holy mountain <br /> And cmake them joyful in My house of prayer. <br /> Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on dMy altar; <br /> For eMy house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.” <br /><br />Conversion to Judaism is never ONCE mentioned in Torah. <br /><br />In speaking of Pesach, the Lord says to Moses:<br /><br />Ex. 12:49 “The same law shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you.” <br /><br />In the Millennial Kingdom, God says whoever is left in the nations will celebrate Succot:<br /><br />Zech. 14:16-17Then it will come about that any who are left of all the nations that went against Jerusalem will ago up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to celebrate the Feast of Booths. And it will be that whichever of the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to worship the aKing, the LORD of hosts, there will be no rain on them. <br /><br /><br />In the Newer Covenant, James expected the new Gentile believers from the nations to go to the synagogue every SABBATH.. that was without conversion. This is the subject of Jerusalem Council:<br /><br />They would start by eating Biblically clean food, since Yacov would never have called pig or shellfish food, we know what he was talking about here:<br /><br />Acts 15:20 but that we write to them that they abstain from things contaminated by idols and from bfornication and from cwhat is strangled and from blood. <br />Acts 15:21 “For Moses from ancient generations has in every city those who preach him, since 1he is read in the synagogues every Sabbath.” <br /><br />And then they would go to the synagogue on Shabbat. <br /><br />The followers of Yeshua understood that Torah was for the nations, but conversion by a rabbi to Judaism was something that developed because of the diapsora, and the rabbis tried to build fences around Torah. <br /><br />To this day, these fences add things to God's Word that are not there:<br /><br />Deut. 4:2 “You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. <br /><br />God never told anyone to convert to Judaism because when God gave Moses Torah, Judaism was non-existent. It is strictly a development of Babylonian exile, and most Christians do not understand this history so they believe that Judaism started at Sinai. If they read their Bibles carefully, they will discover that Torah was given at Sinai. Israel was one unified, called-out assembly, including foreigners who attached to Israel. <br /><br />Israel was not only Jews, but all 12 tribes, and because of disobedience 10 of the tribes were scattered to be brought back at a later date through a newer, better, improved covenant in the blood of Yeshua, in which Torah will be put on their minds once and for all. <br /><br />I am not for the isms, Len.. I am for Torah, and Yeshua, the Word who became flesh and dwelt among us, who redeemed us by His precious blood, who gave Him self up so that we may have life. <br /><br />Your rabbi is putting up a dividing wall, but I understand that he doesn't know that Yeshua came to break this down. This is the real interfaith dialogue. . My house will be a house of prayer for ALL the nations..<br /><br />But your rabbi doesn't want a Gentile to celebrate Shabbat.. this is tragic. <br /><br />JoyceJoycenoreply@blogger.com
