It clearly is not popular to say so, but one cannot help but wonder. Are we under judgment? Is the weather a sign of "global warming" n/k/a "climate change" or "extreme weather" or is God possibly sending us a wake up call?
Most interestingly, the countries not succumbing to same sex marriage n/k/a "marriage equality" are having lovely weather. Those giving into same are having ecological disasters. This is winter. It is one of the harshest, most brutal winters I can recall in my lifetime which is now longer than I usually care to confess.
Recently, against the pleas of a concerned British public official, David Cameron signed a bill allowing same sex marriage into law for that country. Almost immediately killer gale force and flood calamities have plagued his country. The Godly public official warning against it is Councillor David Silvester from Henley-on-Thames. He is catching no small end of ridicule for suggesting this could be Judgment. He is urged to end his "outmoded" world view. In my view, he is quite possibly right. He said the prime minister, David Cameron, had "acted arrogantly against the gospel."
I suspect Lot once received similar chiding from the Sodom & Gomorrah residents who thought it could never happen to them.
Russia has outlawed homosexual proselytizing of its children. We have outlawed in at least two major states: California and New Jersey, counseling of children who are gender confused. In effect, we have legalized homosexual proselytizing of our children.
California is experiencing a historical drought. Our other states are experiencing historical brutal snow and cold.
Russia is having lovely mild weather this winter. Today as I write, it is in the thirties in Moscow. The low temperature in Sochi, Russia today is 43. It will climb to 55 on Sunday.
Here in the Detroit metropolitan area where I live, it is 18 degrees Fahrenheit in Detroit today. Lake Orion, where I live is only 8 degrees Fahrenheit as I write at 8:13 p.m. on Saturday night. This is warmer than it has been in sometime which is not saying much. Lake Orion will rise only to 22 tomorrow. We had no January thaw this year.
Further, I pray for a gradual thaw. If the mountains of snow that have accumulated on our ground between December and the present time melt at once, flooding is a virtual certainty.
I just can't help but wonder. Have we collectively thumbed our noses at God for too long? Is God sending us a serious wake up call in the form of our weather? We were warned scripturally that it would be difficult to maintain our Christianity in the prophesied perilous times to come.
In my humble opinion, those times may well be here.
May the Lord help us all!
Stay tuned!

to 11:50 pm. Excellent information and I recommend all check your site out.
I've known that Lucis Trust was involved in this since beginning inasmuch as Robert Muller, one of its major progenitors was an extremely active Lucis Trust member as well as being a high United Nations official. Muller was networked with Jay Gary which leads into the "emerging church" apostasies and their alliance with the World Future Society.

Constance, I wish I could research at that level, but the site isn't mine. Credit goes to the woman who puts out nocommoncore.blogspot.com. Based on the breadth of her information on New Age as well as Common Core, she would probably be a great guest.
A better email address would be ilfreedomcoalition@gmail.com. Hushmail was dropped.
Christine,
Since there's no reason to doubt those type of claims,
I have in my possession a complete set of toenail clippings from the Apostle John which he gave to one of his disciples just before he was martyred.
It's an authentic collection which was given me by an
antiquities collector from Syria.
Since I'm now poverty stricken, I'm willing to let the whole collection go for a mere $100,000.
Christine, for you, today only, I'll let it go for $75,000.
Just a note to the researchers here:
Global Research (globalresearch.ca) is just as bad as RT in regards to providing anti-US propaganda, and has ties to Communist and Socialist people and groups. I've seen it being used several times here.
I wouldn't trust anything coming from them. It may be true, or not. It certainly will have a spin put on it. According to a comment in a discussion thread I found online:
"Globalresearch.ca is run by an anti-US, anti-West, anti-capitalist, anti-military, anti-globalization(but mainly only against globalization that benefits the US and our allies) conspiracy theory fruit loop with a lot of ulterior motives. It pushes conspiracy theories, pseudoscience and propaganda that are directed mostly at the US and our allies... while at the same time defendig the horrendous actions of eastern and eastern-friendly government and dictators and tyrants."
That pretty well sums it up for me!
Here's a great article that ties RT, Alex Jones, GlobalResearch, et al, all together, and should make anyone question the stuff that comes from these people.
I'm not saying the United States is perfect. I'm not saying the United States is not corrupt. What I *am* saying is that there has been a concerted effort by our enemies in the East to penetrate and influence and infiltrate the RIGHT (ie, supposedly conservative publications and news sources) here in this country, as well as the left. We all take it for granted that ABC, CBS, NBC, etc, are all working against our best interests. But we are blind to the same thing happening from Rightist sources, because they rail against some of the same things we rail against - too much government power, government spying, government abuse, and on and on. These are valid and legitimate complaints, but do you think it impossible that propaganda experts from Russia, China, Iran, and other enemy states could befriend the far right in the US (people who mistrust/hate the US government), and stir up that hatred even more? To what end, you ask? To help start an internal revolution, with the goal of making it easier to attack the US at some point. The worldwide club of Socialists and Communists, of which Obama is an outspoken member, wants to see the United States GONE from the scene. Either completely destroyed, or reduced to a third-world country, ripe for invasion and occupation.
And so, they stir up the fears and passions of the far left, AND the far right, in the hopes that the people will revolt against their own government, ironically helping to fulfill their greatest fears when the government tries to quell such a rebellion.
And do you think these Communists and Socialists have not put fear into the minds and hearts of many working in our government? They most certainly have. Our government is rife with enemy agents, which is obvious if you read some of the latest material from people like Diana West.
So.... We the People mistrust and hate the government, and the government people hate and mistrust We the People. What a gift on a silver platter to hand to those who would have us destroyed, or living as slaves. And NO, I'm not talking about the NWO. I'm talking about Russia and China, and whoever else is in that club. Because the strings all lead back to those places.

Who would bother burying all three crosses as the legend implies?
And just how big WAS a Roman crucifix? Not as big as modern depictions, I'll bet; the feet need not be off the floor very far, nor need the wood have the huge cross-sectional area we see in movies. Jesus was in no fit state to carry anything after his flogging but it had to be light enough for another man to.
crossbeam was what He would have carried, the patibulum, and yes, He was in no shape, fell three times and a man from Cyrene helped Him with it. one got nailed or tied to the patibulum which was then nailed to the upright and the whole thing hoisted upright.
Anything big and heavy enough to accomodate an adult human would be too bulky to secure and run with.
Ok captain obvious @ 6:42.
That's some really astute pure guesswork Christine.
It would seem reasonable to me that the crosspiece
and the upright piece were each tenoned together
and probably didn't even need nails, but I'm sure that Christine, who has never pieced together two pieces of wood in her life, much less is expert in joinery, knows a lot more about it than anyone here, as usual.
you love to feel scornful don't you, paul, makes you feel better?
I have pieced together pieces of wood, using nails thank you very much. One of which was an effort to repair a railing which lasted until I crashed into it trying to break up a cat fight before the neighbor's cat got infectable deep wounds.
and predone joinery just yesterday. I recall many years ago I tried whittling joinery or dovetails (probaby not that precise) out of some wood pieces I was probably in my teens, I don't recall how it ended probably not well.
"The Greek and Latin words corresponding to "crucifixion" applied to many different forms of painful execution, from impaling on a stake to affixing to a tree, to an upright pole (a crux simplex) or to a combination of an upright (in Latin, stipes) and a crossbeam (in Latin, patibulum).[13]
In some cases, the condemned was forced to carry the crossbeam on his shoulders to the place of execution. A whole cross would weigh well over 300 pounds (135 kg), but the crossbeam would not be quite as burdensome, weighing around 100 pounds.[14] "
citing Ball, DA (1989). "The crucifixion and death of a man called Jesus". Journal of the Mississippi State Medical Association 30 (3): 77–83. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion
For those interested in such things, a trusted source of mine is very concerned about the situation between Russia and Ukraine (and by extension, Eastern Europe), and between China and Japan (with N. Korea ready to join that fray).
The path to the next world war could be a short one, and one that is traveled soon.
We must prepare spiritually to be obedient to what the Lord would have us do.
Hebrews 12 comes to mind.

First enacted in 2008, the program requires that all public and private schools in Quebec present all religions from Christianity to Wicca to Buddhism to other pagan religions. In the lessons, they are required to teach that all of these religions are equally valid. Additionally, teachers, including those in private Christian schools, are forbidden from expressing their own personal religious views. In other words, private Christian schools are not allowed to teach Christianity as the only way to salvation as Jesus clearly taught.
Loyola High School in Quebec is run the Roman Catholic order of Jesuits founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola. They adhere to the strict teachings of the Catholic Church. Gerald Chipeur, Q.C., is a Canadian attorney with the Miller Thompson LLP law firm. Chipeur is working in conjunction with the Alliance Defending Freedom group who has filed a brief with the Supreme Court of Canada in defense of Loyola High School.

Yes those peaceful Muslims truly see their slautering infidels as doing God's work. And we must not forget Mrs. Cumbey says they believe in the same God we Christians do!!!!!!

Well, a TRUE Christian would never talk like that...demonizing an entire religion or group of people (because of radical extremists) and elevating himself or herself above others. We have been commanded to 'love thy neighbor as thyself.' We also need to concentrate on 'cleaning up our own houses' and in getting our own souls in order in preparation for meeting God when we die.
I have a wonderful conversation with this woman who is a fantastic researcher. This article mentioning Cumbey is a must read on Gingrich and what is happening in our country. It clearly spells out what Gingrich promotes under his description of himself as a Futurist,starting in the '70s.

On Monday at 3pm central daylight time, on CBS, Dr. Phil will have a show on the Justina Pellitier case. This is the case where the parents say the 15 year old girl was taken from her family and criminally placed in the custody of the state of Massachusetts as the result of Boston Children's Hospital's actions. Thousands of people are following the case around the country. Glenn Beck has done a show on the case and legislators in the state have gotten involved. Put in her name on a web search or on Facebook for details of the case which is very important.

Muslims believe in a unique creator God and the quran states that this is the God of Abraham. The problem is that the quran and the Old Testament ascribe very different personalities to this creator. To discuss whether it is the "same God" or a "different God" are simply inappropriate terms, because the possibility that they are "different Gods" implies that two volitional beings would exist, which neither side would agree with. The issue between Muslims and OT-believing Jews and Muslims is all about the personality of the creator God. The issue between Christians and Muslims is simpler: Christians believe Jesus of Nazareth is divine in the sense of the creator and Muslims don't.
To 5.29pm who wrote: "demonizing an entire religion or group of people (because of radical extremists)"
Please read the quran for yourself, particularly suras (chapters) 8 & 9, and tell me whether you think that the jihadists who want to conquer the world by force of arms for Islam do or don't follow Muhammad's understanding of the words he received.
Christine,
If angels are not human, then how can earthly priests represent them.
Angels serve God, but do not partake in the one priesthood of Christ, only human beings do.
I am curious as to which ecumenical council designated that earthly priests represent angels in the liturgy.
anon 11:16, you can represent anything or anyone. Consider those who put on animal costumes.
The notion of angels as humans (the deceased good) is a romantic conceit of poets and other overestimated nonentities of the past few hundred years or less.
They are another kind of being altogether. They can have many forms. Some of them described by Prophets who saw them don't even resemble humans. the possibility of shape shifting to make a point exists, a presentation of a symbolic form, but that doesn't mean the real form is human.
No council designated what priests were to do in the liturgy, but how they were to operate in other matters.
The liturgical tradition, developed from a cruder form itself developed from the Jewish liturgy, since we are a continuation of the Jewish covenant with God, a new covenant told of ahead of time by God, Who also spelled out the core of it, a Seed of the Woman, Who, the Seed not the woman, would bruise the serpent's head but receive a bite from it also, implying death and resurrection, was even before that.
Spirits of the dead are not absent from the choir that praises God in heaven, of course. And of course "angel" means "messenger," a term applicable to Samuel when God sent him to rebuke Saul and scare the witch of Endor. But that is a ROLE and the term anggelos and bene ha Elohim refers to something pre human, and other than human.
Let me ask you this, you know the devil is a fallen angel. Do you think therefore he has to be a human being?
if you are coming from a Latin background, incl. Protestantism which involves a lot of adopted Latin thought styles, things are very either/or (and lots of times that is correct) and mechanistic and definable and comprehendable by limited human thought, which is supposed capable of understanding God in His Essence even.
But The Bible is much more complex, and the tradition closest to it more nuanced, one of the reasons I became Orthodox, the recognition and acceptance of complexity and nuance and willingness to leave the incomprehensible to the realm of "mystery" and not try to sort it all out, is much more compatible to the picture in The Bible when you read it a lot and retain a lot (perhaps my pattern spotting mild asperger's and visual thinking helps in this) than is present in pop protestantism or some RC.
"the recognition and acceptance of complexity and nuance and willingness to leave the incomprehensible to therealm of "mystery" and not try to sort it all out"
Huh?
Nobody kills "mystery" quicker than you do Christine. You kill it by explaining what you only think you know and then explaining it to death.
Christine, this shop-worn nonsense that the West thinks we can understand everything about God, through the intellect has been refuted.
Yes, we cannot fully understand God, but God has given us the gift of reason, by which we can partially understand certain things.
It's about balance. Both reason and mysticism can go over the scales if not held in balance with Christian revelation.
Christine,
I agree with you that the mystery of the liturgy cannot be fully explained.
But, we cannot answer why women cannot be priests, with only an appeal to mystery, because it won't sell in the 21st century.
It's seen as discrimination based on sex.
Today while checking on a name, I came across a blogspot that others should know about. If you want to know why others don't take information about New Age seriously, it's because they get disinformation and never check things out for themselves. It's easier on them that way. No worry, no work, move on nothing is happening here. http://americanloons.blogspot.com/2013/06/599-constance-cumbey.html#uds-search-results
The writer does link to http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/New_Age which validates much of what Cumbey says. It appears that the writer does not read what he writes.
I don't get scared by anonymous namecallers, so I'll keep writing about New Age.
Nevertheless, I was trying to trace down who puts out Godfather Politics, a site I like. I found information at the first site which allowed me to track who puts out Godfather Politics. If you use that site, use it as a source for names that you can check out instead of using it as the final word on any individual or organization. Also skip the liberal's dictionary of smear adjectives which the guy tosses around like confetti.
If you want to see who is behind the most popular active organizations, from Christian to the militia, this and rational Wiki can get you somewhat further.
Now friends of this blog will say why bother giving that blog publicity. I say you have to know what is going on around you and not just read what confirms your beliefs.
western rationalism thinks all can be figured out has been refuted? since when and by who?
As for why women can't be priests, appeal to mystery was no part of that. Nor does it matter how it is "seen" as. The real issue is, do any reasons stand up to Scriptural or historical analysis?
I thought we had moved beyond this issue and were talking about something else in connection with The Holy Liturgy.
As for "sexual discrimination," that depends on how the priesthood is viewed in itself, regardless of sacramentalism or anything else:
Does one view it as a position of power in which one represents the interests of one's sex, race, viewpoint or whatever?
Or as a position that is to serve God's interests period?
A reminder to everyone to watch the Dr. Phi show on CBS, Monday, tomorrow. It is on at 3 pm in Chicago. They will be discussing the Justina Pelletier case, the one in which Boston Children's Hospital is accused of taking the 15 year old away from her parents. Coverage of the case has been national. On Facebook look at pages #FreeJustina and Free Justina Pelletier From Boston Children's Hospital!. It will be in court tomorrow and a demonstration is planned. Cases like this will be used to determine individual health care and whether the community or family has the first responsibility for family members.
The spirit of antichrist is called Islam.
With all due respect to those who point out that
a war between Christianity and Islam is actually
being foistered upon us by The New Agers, I say
that may be true, but, considering what Islam
both teaches and does, and considering that
Islam is Satanic in every way, notwithstanding all the apparently peaceful moslems, that "religion" is
just a system of hatred. They HATE Jews and they HATE Christians. It's the driving force of the entire religion.
You don't need to take my word for it. Go to YouTube and listen to Mr Shoebat, who was an Islamic terrorist who got saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ.
Don't forget the Armenian Genocide. It was carried out by muslems on Christians specifically.
It's going on right now but they'll take Christians from any place.

Re: "why women cannot be priests"
If Jesus had meant for women to be priests, he would have chosen 6 male and 6 female apostles.
you forget the social political and practical context of the world then, and much of it now. Female apostles would have less credibility than male ones. Also at more risk. Also potentially disabled monthly or by pregnancy (Peter was married and had a son, suppose he was female?)
That given, there were women who were active missionaries also. And Mary Magdalene was the FIRST to bear the word of the Resurrection to any human, and the Apostles didn't believe it at first, also one Gospel notes it was dismissed as a mere fantasy, silly women with silly ideas.
Hard headed men who would not be so easily doubted were needed. I wouldn't send most women into such a situation myself.
AGAIN, I EMPHASIZE, I OPPOSE FEMALE ORDINATION, but not for the reasons you do.
I oppose male ordination too!
This is exactly what Hitler did with Austria.

I do hope you are right and getting to the bottom of whether women should be priests will clear up the New Age movement. But just in case you might not have the big picture, perhaps we should discuss other things happening in the New Age movement.
Christine,
Why do bankers keep jumping off tall buildings?
aside from a very few of them who may have been stressed and doing the classic 1929 crash banker going out a building thing,
most I think were "suicided," murder made to look like suicide, a long standing tradition, to silence them about things they knew, and were stupid enough to announce "I'm gonna tell" or words to that effect, or who were viewed as a security risk because of prior disagreements.
now let's keep an eye on and pray about that missing plane. A retired general was on TV saying he thought it was going to resurface as a weapon of mass destruction and that it is currently in Pakistan.
which means that announcement itself is laying the groundwork for a false flag event, where CIA run elements will use it to destroy an American military base the sort that has families and other civilians around it, and frame Iran for this, so we can have a war with them.
The Northwoods proposal to JFK (which he angrily rejected, one more nail in his coffin, whatever his personal life he died a martyr to decency and integrity), was to have covert operations guys in Cuban uniforms blow up some American buildings and kill a lot of American citizens to provoke the public into driving Congress into war with Cuba.
This is not an isolated incident. The battleship Maine either was a fluke accident or a false flag, useful to get war with Spain. Gulf of Tonkin has now been officially admitted to have never happened.
I forget the list of known or far more likely than not (the same degree of proof needed in a civil lawsuit) false flags, but I think Mike Ruppert lists them in Crossing The Rubicon.
If we are moving into The Ask Christine Computer Show, I'd like to ask, What's the Best Recipe for making good hamburgers?
Christine,
Do caramel apples grow on trees?
9:06 I asked a very serious question about hamburger and here you go asking a fun question. Don't scare Christine away. Christine has the best answers to everything. Let's not scare her away. My husband says my hamburgers are boring and keeps wanting to go to Burger King. Christine could save our marriage.
12:51 A.M. - 12:29 P.M.
If you put a few table spoons of Bragg's Liquid Amino's to a pound of hamburger meat you will get delicious burgers. Also works for meat loaf as well. My old girlfriend made them this way so I'm not sure the amount she used, so you can try a few tablespoon, and if that's not enough for you add a bit more next time! This may make you the Burger Queen 12:29 P.M. !!!
"now let's keep an eye on and pray about that missing plane. A retired general was on TV saying he thought it was going to resurface as a weapon of mass destruction and that it is currently in Pakistan.

Or, it could mean just what he said.
Thank you anonymous, but I want Christine's answer which I am sure will surpass anything I'm come across in the cookbooks.

"This is the "Introduction" and "Index" page for an "online" book I am publishing here, which is mainly directed at Bible-believing people...although anyone is welcome to read along.
To summarize what this is about-- In recent years I have stumbled across evidence of hidden Luciferians who have deceptively inserted themselves into the conservative Christian community all across America. I have since discovered these occultists have also infiltrated a wide array of other areas-- academia, Hollywood, business and finance, politics and government.
Initially, this had left me in something of a state of shock and then set me on a quest to understand what exactly this was about."
I haven't read all of this, but it looks good. Links to the chapters are at the bottom of the page.
It's a for real company - http://www.luciferlighting.com/thecompany/history/?area=History
I presume as in Lucifer, the light bringer. Now try to tell somebody that Lucifer is mentioned in the Bible, is connected to the occult, etc.
just have them read that speech addressed to the king of Tyre, from the start to finish, and point out how it moves from things that can be said to a human, to things that make no sense unless said to a paranormal being that is overshadowing him. The usual argument is that this is just addressed to the king of Tyre, but in fact parts of it can't be said about a human being.
Christine,
What is the Bible reference that includes the
speech to the king of Tyre that you refer to ?
Once again I don't know what the heck you're talking about.
paul you don't know about this, yet you are involved in a New Age debate scene? yet this passage viewed only briefly and misinterpreted or incomplete interpreted is the A number one argument used by all who argue Lucifer is not satan?
Ezekiel chapter 28 verses 1-19. It starts out as detractors say, indeed addressed to a man, but as you read more, it starts to say things that cannot refer to anything human.
read this, then look up the Malachi Martin concept of "perfect possession." also maybe the concept "walk in" would figure.
Christine,
You did notice that chapter 28 of Ezekiel has two
parts. So why introduce a mystery where there isn't one?
The KJV has a marking for a break and verse 11 begins with the word "Moreover", and proceeds:
11 "...the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him..." etc.
You did, I'm sure already notice that the first part of Ezekiel 28 is addressed to the PRINCE of Tyrus.
Yes God is talking to angelic beings in the second half of the chapter. It's neither Malachi Martin's nor your mystery.
He may have been talking to both mankind and angel in both cases for all you know. He may have been talking directly to Jacob Rothschild for all you know.
King of Tyrus is a type of the Anti Christ.
But do go on with your "new age debate scene".
It is not a question of whose mystery it is. Why do you make things personal that are not personal?
Anon 7:07 "Now try to tell somebody that Lucifer is mentioned in the Bible, is connected to the occult, etc." raised the issue.
The issue is, how to answer those, whether Masons or New Agers or whatever, who claim that lucifer is not satan (and ergo is a "lightbearer" ergo a good guy)?
they argue by using the first part only of the two statements BOTH made to the king or prince of Tyre, though the second word king is a bit higher sounding that prince. Either way, ignoring the statements made in the second part (I said you have to read farther to get to stuff obviously addressed to a superhuman being) they point out that prince or king of Tyre would refer to a human ruler. And thus make out that lucifer is not a fallen angel and is not satan and doesn't share the latter's attributes. Which is false.
That is the point.
Christine, there was a time before Christianity. In fact, there was a time before Christine existed. Words were used before Christianity. Words in the Bible existed before Christians came on the scene. There are people who know those things. We talk among ourselves without waiting for your imprimatur. I know you find that hard to believe, but if you open your mind a bit, you can learn those things.
There was a time before Christianity, the final phase of covenantal revelation of YHWH, but there was never a time before the God of Christianity, YHWH aka "YH is Savior" Yeshua, The Second Person of YHWH The Trinity.
Christine, and that is your very narrow view of information in the world. Christians co-opted all that was known about God as described in the Bible of the Jews and added to it. They may be the same in entity in the view of Christians, but that doesn't make it accurate information in the eyes of everyone in the world. You are entitled to your opinion, but that is what it is, your opinion. And by the way, what does your definition of God have to do with your accuracy? They are two separate understandings. As far as I have seen, you are a very fallible human being with many opinions.
Archaeology has supported many points in The Bible.
Archaeology also shows, that Mesopotamian legend credited Ea with warning Utnapishtim to build the Ark (Noah's Flood). Ea is etymologically related to Ya NW Semitic. YHWH is a longer form with more detail "The Eternal Self Existent One [YH or Ya] Creator of all Life or all that is"
Ea is the only deity listed as one that demons fear.
Bible says in Seth's time men began to call on the Name of YHWH. (YHWH or Jehovah is not the Name that is uniquely revealed to Moses, Bible says that Midian had Him as at least one of their gods probably at that time only or main one. The Name revealed is "I AM THAT I AM," and Eyeh Esher Eyeh fits the punning and hinting style to be also saying, "I AM THE ONE CALLED EA."
Figure The True God was known, then gradually displaced, in some places the process was slow and involved redefinition of Him with all kinds of false stories and finally saying He was descended from higher deities, same game played by gnostics, BTW.
Bible record of Noah is the correct account, Mesopotamian is warped, but being closer to the events and place of initial dispersion of humans after that, is a lot closer to the facts than far more remote Flood stories around the world.
Ebla had eponymous names that incl. Ya- again showing a Ya or Ea cultus.
Greek Orthodoxy preserves many odd little things from the Jewish roots of Christianity, and Hallelujah is Alleluia, i.e., "Al-ay-loo-EEA."
Given the correct pronunciation of YHWH was once known, it probably Eyahweh.
Track those connections, eh? But I only found all this out later. Meantime, when I was a child I had a close call with death and met Jesus, no white light or tunnel remembered, probably only the last point when returned to my body. Oddities about the event that only made sense years and years later when I read up on astral projection. Slatey DARKNESS around me, except for the operating room lights, and the white figure with a beard in that operating room. I was rescued from something during my almost death, besides death itself.
Time passed, I was temped by evil spirits and fell became rational atheist, kept looking by an instinct, but focussed on metaphysical and religious indifferentist and eastern metaphysics and so forth. Got into trying to conjure demons. Got scared, called to God meaning not a metaphysical blur like Brahman, but the God of Abraham I read about as a small child (I was reading by 2 years old). The air cleared, and I quit all that ritual magic crap.
It took many more years to fully commit to Jesus Christ, AD 1977, and was brought into Orthodoxy AD 2008 after a few years of research and experiences.
"Given the correct pronunciation of YHWH was once known, it probably Eyahweh. "
Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.
Long ago those people would not even speak the Lord's name out loud, but Christine, you venture too often, to think that you can make secrets or lost information known.
Perhaps you need to check that ego of yours and if going to assume, then assume that some things God Himself will reveal with no help from you. To speak about God and go outside of the canon of Scripture as often as you do makes your information useless.
My,my.....
Read the newest post of Constance and come back to this thread and find out Christine (in her 2:43 comment) is basically the "Troy Lawrence" of this blog. Uh oh.
Explains the weird.
I do not go outside the canon of Scripture. The Scripture repeatedly names YHWH and wherever the word LORD all caps though ord is shorter but still caps, this is where the Hebrew text reads YHWH but at some point it developed I think in Herodian times, maybe later, that they were scared to pronounce The Name and just said Adonai when YHWH appears.
This is itself unscriptural, for The Scripture says to call on YHWH's Name, to exalt His Name, and so forth. Self evident. This is not a "god concept" but a specific PERSON with a NAME. Not the same as or conflatable with the gods of the nations.
Now, in the days of Jesus and His immediate disciples and the first few generations, there would be converts who had heard the Name pronounced, however rarely.
Hallelujah is Praise Yah. (No hard J sound in Hebrew or any Semitic language.) If this is rendered in Greek not Allelu-ya but Allelu-I-A what does that tell you?
The early church liturgy was based on that of the synagogue and The Temple.
Ego has nothing to do with it.
When Delitzsch discovered the Ea Ya YHWH connection, this was a scandal, because it was thought that "Jehovah" was a special product of the Jewish genius or a special revelation to Moses unknown before that.
But that is not even biblical, and shows the presupposition that the OT and Yahwehism is a creation of Hebrew culture or at least of Moses a remarkable man.
Irreligious bullshit. A close read of The Bible shows there was serious conflict between God's standards and ways and those of the Hebrews. Such a presupposition of "the genius of the Hebrew people" being to credit is tantamount to saying that they INVENTED Yahweh, that He is nothing but another culture artifact that got preeminent by a series of historical flukes.
Which is effectively atheism.
If YHWH is real you can expect several things to be the case (which are the case, but it would take a long article to deal with that) ONE OF WHICH WOULD BE EVIDENCE OF HIS EXISTENCE AND ACTION PRIOR TO MOSES.
And the evidence is there.
In the Mesopotamian experience, the seven categories of demon (and notice it was seven demons Jesus threw out of Mary Magdalene, as if this infestation had been allowed in order for Him to cast them out in order to make a point to those who were of Mesopotamian culture later) were friends with or agents of the various false gods, with one exception.
they were afraid of Ea.
I have just handed you one of the best arguments against some forms of paganism and other forms of unbelief, and you laugh it off. you are not thinking clearly. Perhaps you are not really a believer anyway, if you were the one who remarked about there being a time before Christianity existed, or else you are not interested in The Great Commission, only a nominal believer.
BTW judaism used to be aggressively missionary, until Christian govts. forced this to stop, nowdays they pretend they were never missionary, but that is a lie. Some Jews have converted to Christianity as a result of studying things in Torah and buried history their rabbis don't tell them about and are uncomfortable answering questions about (assuming they know the answers). Adam Wouk and Gershom Scholem detail many changes and developments in Judaism, the Judaism of today is not that of the dark ages which was not that of Herodian times which was not that of Moses' time, the core of the faith and laws remained but changes occurred.
You are entitled to your opinion on everything Christine; we know that. We understand that in your mind your opinions take on the status of factual information.
Christine, let me teach you something. Thales said, "The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself." Let us help you as you go on that journey to learn about yourself. Look up the meaning of the word hubris.
my opinions are based on facts and experiences that line up with Scripture.
The Ea-Ya-YHWH connection is a FACT. The reason why Delitszch's discovery of this, instead of being recognized as validation of YHWH was seen as somehow contrary, is an obvious fact, even stated somewhere not just deduced motive.
your reactions do not consist of anything relevant to the content I presented. They pretend to philosophical depth but try to throw everything into the category of mere subjective opinion based on nothing.
That you don't even try to address anything, except in terms about revealing mysteries that other words of yours makes unlikely to be sincerely believed, means you see me as a threat of some sort and want to reassure yourself of your own probably New Agey kind of superior position of liberal theology (aka atheism), and also try to make me feel unsure.
you can succeed in the former, you won't succeed in the latter.
I know myself a lot better than perhaps you know yourself. I have been around for almost 63 years and learned a lot including that philosophy is bunk, but history is not bunk. I've even learned to trust myself far less than you probably trust yourself.
Have a nice day.
Have you looked up the word "hubris" yet?
To move it out of the philosophical into a pop frame of reference, check out this song..http://www.songlyrics.com/joe-jones/you-talk-too-much-lyrics/
You need to be informed about the definition of opinion. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/opinion You are using the word incorrectly.
It is almost impossible to discuss anything with you. You may take a single fact and then surround it with whatever comes into your mind.
Looking up something you post is rather useless. For instance I tried and got, "Your search - "Ea-Ya-YHWH" Delitszch - did not match any documents." This you stated as a fact: "The Ea-Ya-YHWH connection is a FACT. The reason why Delitszch's discovery of this,..."
Christine, your information is useless. Maybe if you yammered less and got whatever little you were posting correct, you wouldn't be put into the category of someone with too much hubris.
Indeed fold rush in where angels fear to tread.
One of the ways of referring to the one true God is
to say Jahovah, Yahovee, for the simple reason that no one, not even Christine can pronounce his name which is holy.
___that should say "fools", not "fold"
My mistake.
But here's a link and a half:

2:33 said: "Christine, let me teach you something. Thales said, "The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself." "
And Christine said:
"I know myself a lot better than perhaps you know yourself."
Perhaps you are presuming and assuming too much again Christine. Perhaps too much presumption and assumption upon history as well as yourself. God has the last word Christine. You seem determined that not even HE should have that (on any given subject).
Perhaps you should consider this then Christine...........
And GOD said: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9
"Ea-Ya-YHWH" would be searched for AS A PHRASE, what makes you think it would be there? search each name and do some digging.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Delitzsch
his book der Babel und Bibel-Streit was not intended to support The Bible, but the Ea material should have been recognized as messing his claims up badly, because
the god of Utnapishtim by definition has to be the God of Noah.
for how gnostics would knock the Creator downstairs at least one or more steps, see Irenaeus "Against Heresies" online. Then note similarity in Ea being a few generations down in full blown Mesopotamian paganism.
for pronunciation
"After the destruction of the Temple (A.D. 70) the liturgical use of the name ceased, but the tradition was perpetuated in the schools of the rabbis.[5] It was certainly known in Babylonia in the latter part of the 4th century,[6] and not improbably much later. Nor was the knowledge confined to these pious circles; the name continued to be employed by healers, exorcists and magicians, and has been preserved in many places in magical papyri. The vehemence with which the utterance of the name is denounced in the Mishna He who pronounces the Name with its own letters has no part in the world to come![7] This suggests that this misuse of the name was not uncommon among Jews.
The Samaritans, who otherwise shared the scruples of the Jews about the utterance of the name, seem to have used it in judicial oaths to the scandal of the rabbis.[8]
The early Christian scholars, who inquired what was the true name of the God of, the Old Testament, had therefore no great difficulty in getting the information they sought. Clement of Alexandria (d. c. 212) says that it was pronounced Ιαουε.[9] Epiphanius (d. 404), who was born in Palestine and spent a considerable part of his life there, gives Ιαβε (one cod. Ιανε).[10] Theodoret (d. c. 457),[11] born in Antioch, writes that the Samaritans pronounced the name Ιαβε (in another passage, Ιαβαι), the Jews Αία.[12] The latter is probably not Jhvh but Ehyeh (Exod. iii. 14), which the Jews counted among the names of God; there is no reason whatever to imagine that the Samaritans pronounced the name Jhvh differently from the Jews. This direct testimony is supplemented by that of the magical texts, in which Ιαβε ζεβυθ (Jahveh Şebāōth), as well as Ιαβα, occurs frequently.[13] In an Ethiopic list of magical names of Jesus, purporting to have been taught by him to his disciples, Yāwē is found.[14] Finally, there is evidence from more than one source that the modern Samaritan priests pronounce the name Yahweh or Yahwa.[1"

Gen. 4:26 for primordial knowledge of The Name.
"Early in the twentieth century, attempts were made to trace the West Semitic Yah back to Babylonia. Assyriologist Friedrich Delitzsch believed the name derived from an Akkadian god, Ia. A relation between Yahweh with Ea, also called Enki, one of the great Babylonian gods, has also been mentioned occasionally. However, scholars have largely abandoned this theory."
Scholars generally are nothing to pay attention to in religious matters, other than the logging of specific texts, archaeological finds, etc. they have their career and other axes to grind. So that last sentence can be ignored.
Delitzsch did not dig this up in order to support YHWH as ancient but as part of his effort to show The Bible was a confabulation off pagan mythology, ignoring the obvious that paganism is a distortion of the truth.
(This latter approach is not something I dreamed up it has been around a long time.)
YHWH let His Name and cultus almost fade into obscurity, the Mesopotamians having redefined Him and made up stories about Him till He was unrecognizeable, then RESTARTED the faith with Abraham.
Seven Are They one version
section II "Prayer and supplication they do not hear.
Horses reared in the mountains, Hostile to Ea.
Throne-bearers of the gods are they."
http://www.ancienttexts.org/library/mesopotamian/seven.html
note they are "throne bearers of the gods" yet they are "Hostile to Ea."
hmmmm.
wading through Mesopotamian mythology should be easy enough.
Meanwhile, the point was taken by an author on fringe science and antiquities, that eyeh esher eyeh could be read as a hint not only I Am Who I Am but I am Who (you know as) Eyeh or Ea.
Those who say YHWH is a conflation of a lot of gods ignore that no people simplify many into one, but rather they multiply one into many.
YHWH let His cultus fade into obscurity after it was beset with all kinds of deviations and lies about Him, and RESTARTED it in its purity with Abraham.
The default pronunciations of the four Hebrew letters today are YAHWEH and JEHOVAH. Given that J used to be pronounced Y in English up to about King James' time (as it still is in the Germanic languages from which English came), it is clear that Y is the correct first letter. I don't understand why the people who opt for YAHWEH are reluctant to add another vowel in the middle; Jehovah is not a particularly modern word in English. Moreover the Old Testament is filled with YAHU and names that begin with YAHU-. So I suggest that the correct pronunciation is YAHUWEH. In support of this is the book "The sacred name Yahweh" available at yahweh.org which amasses a large amount of scholarly evidence. (I presume they kept the 'U' out of the name of the book and website so as not to put people off.) NB I am a Trinitarian Christian and I do not agree with the confusions about the Trinity at this website; I and am quoting it only about the Name.
