That makes me feel better about the Jesus I serve. He knows what I feel. He knows anger (righteous anger), he knows embarrassment, he knows sorrow, happiness, grief, fear, and I'm sure at times even boredom. Is that an emotion?Mr. Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011072363028174111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294512992029030179.post-17768749004793264702008-02-11T13:17:00.000-06:002008-02-11T13:17:00.000-06:00613 is also the area code for Southeastern Ontario...613 is also the area code for Southeastern Ontario, which includes Ottawa--the capital of Canada.

What if John was making a symbolic connection between the 613 (+/-) laws and the new covenant/kingdom? What if the "mark of the beast" was more aimed at Pharisees/Sadducees/etc. than it was at an end-world mass-barcoding?<BR/><BR/>I dunno...I'm not a Revelation expert..Just throwing stuff out there...

So many people -- me included -- get kind of baffled by so many of the odd O.T. rules. People look at them today as reasons that religion is so ridiculous. But we often forget what life was like 4000 years ago... It was dirty, nasty, and full of disease that would kill you at a very young age if you weren't careful. So a lot of the stuff was really hygiene-related.<BR/><BR/>I'll admit, though, that some of it is still baffling. Your explanation might be a good one. A 'reminder of mortality.' Because I can't imagine blood or semen being "sinful" to God.scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407035513346395310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294512992029030179.post-60212669033903542822008-02-07T17:01:00.000-06:002008-02-07T17:01:00.000-06:00Okay, re: semen, I found Lev 15:16-17. "A man from...Okay, re: semen, I found Lev 15:16-17. "A man from whom there is a discharge of semen, shall immerse all his flesh in water, and he shall remain unclean until evening." Also the lucky woman and and any organic fabric the semen gets on. To me it just sounds like the natural way to cap off a pleasant evening at home, not a punishment. <BR/><BR/>I wonder whether we are right if we associate "unclean" with "evil" or "sinful"? (I looked up a bunch of Rabbi stuff on the subject, and holy cow, talk about sexually bound up! Sheesh.) But there are things that are pure and good, and innocent, that render you unclean. Like smackin' a little lovin' on mama. Like giving birth. Like aiding in birth. Like burying the dead. God requires these things!<BR/><BR/>Do these things make God mad? Or do they make you repulsive to God? Does unclean = sin? Could it maybe be more like a reminder of mortality? Blood. Semen. Camp-Poop. Corpse-juice. Mortality cannot be in the presence of God?<BR/><BR/>What do you all think?Joe Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15385756442506439825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4294512992029030179.post-68853069290015716002008-02-07T16:19:00.000-06:002008-02-07T16:19:00.000-06:00You know if you go Hebrew-oid (or Septuagint Greek...You know if you go Hebrew-oid (or Septuagint Greek-oid) that phrase nocturnal emmission would just as easily mean bed-wetting. Possibly even taking a leak out the door of your tent rather than going properly. This IS a passage about latrines, after all. Hmmm...<BR/><BR/>The greek version definitely refers to a flow of something (rhussis,same as the fabled "woman with an issue of blood.") But the Hebrew is even more generic, quareh, meaning an accident.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure if the Levitical laws say anything elsewhere about semen, but this passage seems to be about general Yatsa', "that which goeth forth" Poop? Pee? Number Three? Probably. But to show how generic the word is, look back to v9. There the yatsa' is the ARMY that "goeth forth". against the enemies. <BR/><BR/>A freaky thing I found in the interlinear in v9: Both Hebrew and Septuaging Greek do not say to guard against impure things, but against all evil SPEECH. Ra Dabar in Hebrew, Rhema Poneros in Greek. Speech, too, could be counted as Yatsa', since it also "flows out." There is a similar admonition in Eph 4:29 against any "corrupt commnication", logos sapros. A good lesson: Keep your unclean talk out of the camp, even in the dark of night. If you whisper in the dark, make sure you cover it with earth.<BR/><BR/>As for nocturnal emissions?
