Bible Lit 240: September 2009
http://biblelit240.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 21, 2009. I think this thing is on? How about that Genesis, huh? A Gen1 and a Gen. 2. And how does it happen that a person, me, raised in the Catholic faith; priests, nuns, the whole thing. Catholic boarding schools, one year Perochial and years of Sunday Mass with my Grandmother; how did I so fully miss the boat on comprehending basic stuff about the 'Bible'? I loved it. I felt real happiness and some kind of sence of satisfaction and desired the weekly connection to 'God". I may have ...

Monday, November 30, 2009. Bible Notes to self. 1st day/ God created ‘Light’, day and night. 2nd day/ God created the ‘sky’. 3rd day/ God created the grass, the trees, and plants with seeds (maybe that’s where the idea of the ‘immaculate conception’ came from! 4th day/ God created the moon, stars and the sun. 5th day/ God created the creature of the earth and sea, and he blessed them to grow in numbers. 6th day/ God created man and woman, and for them to rule over the earth. Labels: final days are hell.

Bible Lit 240: Whatzup wit dat?
http://biblelit240.blogspot.com/2009/12/whatzup-wit-dat.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. As I continue this last week of the semester with the studies of Lit -240, and read more of the Bible than I ever thought possible for me to accomplish, one question keeps nagging me for an answer. I mean, does anyone else think this? I'm not sure what exactly my gripe is except, what's with all the ethnic 'snobbery' with Jews? I'm beginning to think they are the root of all racism! Or is that for only their one true God? Where is the logic in that? Where is the Love? Why ha...

Bible Lit 240: soul growth
http://biblelit240.blogspot.com/2009/12/soul-growth.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. 12/16/09 Bible Blog 2. Here it is, the thing that's been nagging at me about the whole human condition of isolation re: race and religion. I had read Frye's comments a few times, but today I think I see it ; p. 232, where he puts it more clearly to what my question is:. 8220;From our present vantage point we can characterize this conception of original sin more precisely as man's fear of freedom and his resentment of the discipline and responsibility it brings.”.

Bible Lit 240: Book of Job
http://biblelit240.blogspot.com/2009/12/book-of-job.html
Wednesday, December 9, 2009. The Attitude of Gratitude. Who was is that said “Yahweh gave, and Yahweh hath taken away; blessed be the name of Yahweh.” I'm more familiar with “God giveth, and God taketh away” ;but it was Job that said that, right after his wife advised him to curse God and die! Boy, was she ever demanding! Solomon, Isaiah, Hezekiah, and even Job have all been suggested as the author of the Book of Job, but Jewish tradition teaches that it was Moses. Job - How to suffer. It's been suggeste...

Bible Lit 240
http://biblelit240.blogspot.com/2009/12/12209-bible-blog-while-reviewing-for.html
Wednesday, December 2, 2009. While reviewing for a Com110 quiz I came across info in the class text ch. 9 on Ethics (! About the proverbial 'Golden Rule'. Mentioned religions are Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, and Judaism. All the religions agree on the 'Golden Rule' re: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,;but to my surprise, Judaism says that is the whole truth, the rest is commentary! Pretty simple, huh! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
