love is a verb!⠀ ⠀ TRUTH WITHOUT LOVE ISN'T TRUE⠀ ⠀ Beliefs are tools that can be used to control or to love. Having the correct belief doesn’t tell us much of anything. But it’s tempting because it’s easy. Already in the Bible, we have people who say that what matters is what you believe. James has this to say about that:⠀ ⠀ What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.⠀ ⠀ But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.”⠀ ⠀ Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that-and shudder. —James 2:14-19⠀ I have a lot of people in my life who want me to give them a gold star because they believe in God. “Good for you,” James says, “so do demons. What’s your point?” Or as the rabbis would say, “He who only occupies himself with the study of the Torah is as if he had no God.”⠀ Our emphasis on knowledge and belief over the past few hundred years has deceived us into thinking that thinking true thoughts is what matters in the Christian faith. This couldn’t be further from how the Bible talks about faith and, frankly, how it talks about truth. There are almost no places in the Bible where it endorses a view of truth as “believing the right doctrine.”⠀ ⠀ CONTINUED HERE: https://buff.ly/2ZCL0xM⠀ ⠀ credit: Jared Byas⠀ ***⠀ Your Turn⠀ What are we doing with our faith? Is it just words? Or do we follow our faith up with deeds? Let’s stop and think for a moment and then decide how we can make a verb of our love. Come share your thoughts with us. We want to hear from you!⠀ ⠀ @OfficialIFCB #OfficialIFCB #Love #Verb #Truth #BeliefsAreTools #Faith #FaithWithoutActionIsDead #EvenDemonsBelieve #Believe #Beliefs #TrueThoughts #Christian #ChristianFaith #Bible #BibleTalks #TalksAboutTruth #PracticiingFaith #HowWeBelieve #LoveMatters #LovePeople https://www.instagram.com/p/CFH7pNXjhSc/?igshid=1u802b2ezygr0

Truth In The Noise

by Jordan Hathcock

When we haven’t earned the right with our blood, sweat, tears, and time, truth-telling is most often received as judgment. Jared Byas

What a no holds barred match of viewpoints we find ourselves in, within our current culture climate. With so many voices being echoed through all available chambers—social media being the main sphere—how do we know truth? Beats me (haha).…

65. Difference

https://youtu.be/r5KdFqEwq4U

Hi everyone, welcome to the final episode in this set about the Bible. I’ve called episode 65 - Difference, because guess what? When it comes to reading and understanding and interpreting the Bible, we don’t all agree - there’s difference. I mean there’s even a difference between me at 40 and then 50 years of age, and me today - shouldn’t that be everyone’s reality? We grow in grace and in knowledge (1) - we’re God-learners / disciples, all our lives.

This means that I will sometimes meet the 40 year old me - in another person. There will be a lot we agree about, and quite a bit we do not agree on. And when that happens, my prayer is that I’ll be as gracious to that person as a lot of people were, and still are, with me. That I’ll understand the power of “journey”, and rather than try to win an argument; I’ll try to encourage the passion and curiosity that is essential for all progress in life. And I hope - that 40 year old me will feel more loved through our conversation than anything else (2).

It’s testament to the fact that this book emerged from

thousands of years worth of story telling, written records, poetry and letter writing;

involving multiple characters and authors who spoke many different languages; and lived in diverse places and times.

Then much of their material was subject to editors, sometimes hundreds of years later, who wrote new meanings into ancient stories.

Centuries later, these scriptures were then subjected to translators of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek - moving the text into Latin and Germanic languages; and

not finally settling what writings belonged and what didn’t until a millennium and a half had passed since the adventures of Jesus and the Apostles. (3)

It kind of explains Jesus’ pre-emptive strike in saying “By this shall everyone know you’re my disciples, if you have love for one another” (4).

Imagine if Jesus had said, ‘If you interpret the scriptures correctly and have just the right theology, everyone will know you’re my disciples’! (5)

Jesus told us that the Holy Spirit would lead us into truth (6). And looking back there have been 3, maybe 4 times in my life when I’ve been aware of an important shift in my understanding of the spiritual. It’s entailed leaving behind some ideas that no longer held up, and embracing fresh realities that filled and thrilled my heart. Just before each spiritual shift, I had three particular features to my relationship with the Bible.

Firstly, I was able to go to proof-texts which told me how right my interpretation was - even in an area of doctrine in which I’d done a complete 180 degree change of thinking, I still had good proof-texts for both the former and the radically different point of view. The good old Bible proved them all.

Secondly, I had well developed confirmation-bias. That means, the vast majority of reading I did, teaching I listened to, and bible passages I turned to, all confirmed my bias, my preference. The practices of proof-texting and confirmation-bias keep a person, kept me, locked into all the certainties I had about God, the world, salvation and the future. People who believed differently were “them” and I was “us”.

The third feature of my relationship with the Bible before each new shift, was spiritual desire. I seemed to instinctively know that this journey into “love from a pure heart” (7) lasts a lifetime; and I am sure this third characteristic saved me from the sin of certainty (8).

Each time I’ve set out on a new adventure with the Bible it has brought me ever closer to a more Christlike God and a more beautiful gospel (9).

I read this recently: "If your picture of God is starting to feel too good to be true, you're starting to move in the right direction" (10).

Quite honestly, I don’t think for a moment that beautiful Holy Spirit has retired from active duty in gently unfolding more and more of the truth about Jesus, the generosity of the cross, the deep love of God for every man and woman, boy and girl, and his glorious vision for the cosmos.

Thank you friends for engaging with these last five episodes. You can see the full transcripts, and extras, on the Letters from Paradise Tumblr page. And it’s there, I’ll list a few books about the Bible that I highly recommend (see below).

In the meantime, let your heart ever long to be caught up into this universe-filling story of God ... an epic of such beauty and inclusion that it steals your breath away. Shalom.

It shouldn’t be surprising we find disagreeing statements in the Bible. The books of the Bible were written from 1200BCE to 100CE. Over that span, people and cultures changed. They wrote of the wisdom they learned and things important to them.

That’s like having a book written by people at the time of the fall of the Roman Empire to the founding of the United States and expect it to be entirely consistent from the beginning to the end. Of course how to apply principles will differ to the lives of people in Roman times, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Age of Discovery, and the Industrial Revolution.

I think there’s a lot of value in the wrestle of the contradictions and figuring out what the spirit of the law is. I believe Jesus did this, he pointed to the letter of the law and instead said to follow the spirit of the law.

Jesus also gave us new ways to frame what’s written. In Matthew 5, several times Jesus says, “Ye have heard that it was said...But I say unto you...” These are examples of Jesus changing interpretations to better fit with the spirit of the 2 great commandments to love.

What are the over-arching principles found in the scriptures? How do we apply those messages to the situations we have in our lives? Which interpretation & application of those principles would be more in line with love?

One thing I love about Mormon theology is we claim all truth — spiritual, physical, philosophical, historical — will in the end all fit together into one great whole. As our understanding increases, we may have to adjust some of our previous beliefs in light of new knowledge. An expansive vision of truth can bring more depth, clarity and love into our lives

“The terrifying reality is that we are all creative. As a human, we don’t get to opt out of the creative process. The question is not whether or not to create but whether we will create more love, beauty, and justice or more hate, fear, and injustice.” // Jared Byas

Biblical Studies Carnival for February 2020

Welcome to Février Gras.

This is The Biblical Studies Carnival 3x7x23

completing 168 monthly editions since the inaugural BS carnival 180 months ago, music, poetry, art in celebration of those studying the ancient texts.

Official colours of Mardi Gras

The Krewe of TNK The head of the first parade is Deane Galbraith presenting Marc Zvi Brettler's lecture on Jewish Biblical Scholarship. Torah

Day 1 - The earth was a right old mess2

All sorts of free goodies distributed from this krewe. Laurent Sangpo gives us a 5 minute reception history on Le Déluge de Michel-Ange."...il suit ainsi l’exégèse ancienne, qui voyait dans la catastrophe la représentation symbolique de notre monde."

youtube

Mark Leuchter and Zev Farber describe the relationship of the siblings, Moses, Miriam, and Aaron, "partners of similar standing in redeeming the people". Carol Meyers asks Who wrote the song? Athalya Brenner-Idan has updated an essay from 2016, Are female readers included in the Decalogue?

Sandra Jacobs writes on Exodus 21:22-25: Accidental Injuries in a Public Brawl, 3 interpretations of the degree and type of compensation required. A d'varling from the Velveteen Rabbi, "if you keep making that face, you'll get stuck that way." Prophets

... wasn't it something to behold that mess

Pete Enns brings up the violence against the Canaanites. Aaron Koller writes on Composing the Song of Deborah, "here we have two empirical models with clear parallels to the biblical Song of Deborah, and both are well attested and fairly well understood."

Judges 5:2 (The whole song is here.)

Saul was Tall by Brian Doak, Bodies speak ... Solomon has no body of significance. ... Hezekiah possesses no beauty... Josiah is a complete ghost. Brant Pitre introduces the lessons for the Presentation in the Temple with particular emphasis on Malachi and the Twelve. Writings

... A symphony of voices

A hole in the parchment, through which the word 'gratiam' ('grace') is visible

Kate Thomas presents a medieval manuscript in praise of the Psalms. De laude psalmorum. "This short Latin treatise explains why saying the Psalms was considered spiritually beneficial, and which Psalms were good for which purposes. It opens a window onto how medieval people understood one of the most important liturgical and devotional books of the Middle Ages, the Psalter."

Brent Niedergall posts on a textual issue in Ruth. "What if an English Bible translation translated a Hebrew word meaning 'he' as 'she'?"

Esther: Girls of marriageable age in the ancient world were much younger than brides today in the western world.

Marg Mowczko begins a series on Esther, and continues with a second post, For such a time as this. The girls "weren’t volunteering for a wonderful opportunity. They weren’t competing for a marvellous prize. Most may well have been taken against their will and against the hopes of their families who might never see their girls again."

Daniel became a writer

Phillip Long continues the unrolling of Daniel. "Belshazzar can look no worse, his mother publicly rebuking his cowardice! (Did she stop to comb his hair and tell him to tuck his shirt in as well?)" He must be nearly right through to the end - if that's not the end, it's close.

Daniel 5:25 - setting the words, the accents in their simplest form

Announced this month via the Times of Israel: A 616-page codex that was written in 1028.

Psalm 150 Karaite

An article with some images is available here from The Jewish Quarterly Review. "NEARLY A THOUSAND YEARS have passed since Zechariah Ben 'Anan finished the demanding work of copying Ketuvim (Writings), the third part of the Hebrew Bible, in a manuscript found by sheer happenstance on a dusty shelf in the Karaite synagogue of Cairo in late July 2017" The tail of the Krewe of TNK

Your host posted a tabular comparison of two strategies for explaining the accents of the TNK and a brief on reading with the music stimulated by the medieval book on the accents translated by Geoffrey Khan, The Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition of Biblical Hebrew. Benjamin Kantor officially launches the Tiberian Hebrew page here. Jonathan Orr-Stav responds to a question on Tiberian pronunciation. Jim Davila highlights an article on dating the Hebrew Bible through linguistics. And, via William Ross, the LXX has its international day. A quote from the obit for S. R. Driver (for links see the final parade below):

The Old Testament must remain an ever-fresh fountainhead of living truth, able to invigorate and restore, to purify and refine, to ennoble and enrich, the moral and spiritual being of man.

The Krewe of the NT

Travis Proctor heads the second parade with an exploration of the demonic body, "residual souls of antediluvian giants".

Gospels and Acts

... like the first glimmer of rising

If it quacks...

A few goodies distributed to the people from this krewe may require a payment. But there's enough even if you can't get into the post-parade-party. Bart Ehrman reviews a Newly Discovered gospel. "rarely does anyone actually discuss the actual *evidence*". His post reaches back into the archives. Ekaterini G. Tsalampouni points us to an article on the ending of Mark.

Jacob Prahlow completes his series on the Odes of Solomon and the Gospel of John. James McGrath posts his impressions of the Enoch Seminar's dedicated session at AAR/SBL on Adele Reinhartz's book Cast Out of the Covenant: Jews and Anti-Judaism in the Gospel of John. Johnson Thomaskutty writes on the Characterization of Thomas in the fourth Gospel. Andrew Perriman writes in response to Michael Bird, on the church and the mission of Jesus. "Did they succeed? Fail? Or did someone move the goalposts?" Ken Schenck points out his work on Mark and Acts as part of his project Through the Bible in Ten Years. Richard Beck continues his series on the gospel according to the Lord of the Rings.

A Matthean Thunderbolt?

Ian Paul republished a post on the influence of John on the synoptic gospels, and explores a spoof on choosing your own Jesus. It being that time of the year, he also did a review of the temptations of Jesus. Michael Pahl encourages following the teaching on economics from Jesus. Jim Gordon would have us consider ornitheology. His series for Lent holds promise. Here is the leap-day special, the pearl. Chuck Jones points out Vizualizing Acts, graphic online support for reading Acts.

Letters

... What do you say

James Tabor writes about What Paul claimed to have seen.

Tim Gombis explores chapters 2 to 5 of Romans with particular reference to boasting. Andrew Perriman posts on theological prisons vs historical readings of Romans.

Michael Kok continues his series on Corinthians, beginning with notes on Peter, and Apollos. James McGrath points to a note on Paul's letter carriers. Henry Neufeld writes about How to Read Hebrews 4. Revelation

... It won't be long

Very short parade. The tail of the Krewe of the NT Mike Aubrey wants more language resources for translation. Marg Mowcsko talks about "preaching" words in the NT. The tail of the first two Krewes Pete Enns and Jared Byas have some advice to their fellow citizens on how to read the Bible in 2020. Jim West reviews the Jesus Bible, i.e. how not to read the Bible.

Other Krewes

... How many powers

James McGrath posts on the SpaceX Rocket bouncing off the firmament. You can watch the whole thing with exegetical commentary from a booster seat. Just click on the image.

youtube

Archaeology Jim Davila asks if Solomon's temple had competition? He also has some thoughts on information in a vitrified brain. And a list of posts on the BAR spring 2020 release including one from the original xkv8r. Todd Bolen reports on extensive ruins of a Canaanite temple dating to the 12th century BCE at Lachish. Yana Tchekhanovets and Leonid Belyaev write about Russian archaeology in The Ancient Near East Today. Textual criticism

Drew Longacre reports on Feature-extraction methods for historical manuscript dating based on handwriting analysis. James McGrath gets around to writing up the 2019 Digital Humanities AAR/SBL sessions in San Diego. Jim West quotes Jerome in defense of errors in his rendering of the Bible. Sarah Allen interviews Zachary Cole on his chapter in Myths and Mistakes.

Theology and Liturgy

Great St Mary's, the Selwyn Consort via the Minerva Festival

Sarah MacDonald presents "Silent in the Churches", an exploration of Music in the liturgy by female composers. NT Wright explains penal substitution, 'according to the Scriptures'. And here's a C.R.A.S.S.H course on explaining. Who knew that James McGrath was an award winning Mandaic poet? Matt Page is still blogging about Bible films. Here is an entry on the Netflix Messiah. Both Bosco Peters and Airtonjo have things to point out about Querida Amazônia. John Bergsma on the Sacred Page lays out the lessons for the sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Alex Finkelson at Scribes of the Kingdom wonders about the promises to David. A slightly early entry for the Revelation parade from Doug Chaplin. (Ah well, February is a short month and January is long, so let's give them 30 days each this year... and he is still writing occasionally.) Bart Ehrman has some interesting questions from Buddhists. John Jillions writes on the religious attitudes of some famous Roman skeptics. Journals and Reviews and other things James McGrath points out a new open-access Journal of Religious Competition in Antiquity. James also notes this announcement on Women interpreting the Scripture through music and the arts. Kelsi Morrison-Atkins reviews Moshe Blidstein. Purity, Community, and Ritual in Early Christian Literature. 'Blidstein guides the reader through the “web of allusions” that characterized early Christian purity discourses in the first through third centuries.' Noah Benjamin Bickart reviews Paula Fredricksen's When Christians were Jews. "If anything is missing in her excellent book, it is a more robust engagement with rabbinic texts." Steve Walton notes a set of essays from a conference, Healing and Exorcism in Second Temple Judaism and Early Christianity. Ben Witherington's book on Priscilla is reviewed by Kelley Matthews. Bart Ehrman has a very nice promotion of his book, Heaven and Hell.

Fetch

Brent Niedergall is working with Bel and the Dragon on a Reddit reading group here. Jim Davila points out Sonja Noll's book on the Semantics of Silence in Biblical Hebrew. And a collection of essays on Parables. "Essays cover parables in the synoptic Gospels, Rabbinic midrash, and parabolic tales and fables in the Babylonian Talmud. Three essays address parables in Islam and Buddhism." And Henk de Waard's Jeremiah 52, "Jeremiah 52 is not a mere appendix to the book, but a golah-oriented epilogue, indicating the contrasting destinies of pre-exilic Judah and the exilic community in Babylon." Kerry Sonia reviews Shawn Flynn's Children in Ancient Israel Kathleen Gallagher Elkins reviews The Bible and Feminism: Remapping the Field. BLT reports on Suzanne McCarthy's book as told to James McGrath by her sister Ruth Hayhoe. Phil Long reviews All Things New, Revelation as canonical capstone, by Brian Tabb.

Remembering

... And morning

Suzanne McCarthy 76 months ago reminded us of a riddle related to time. Here is a Sunday Superlatives post from the same year, 2013, from Rachel Held Evans. Jim Gordon reminds us of the 75th anniversary of the death of Bonhoeffer. The tail of the whole carnival is a reflection by Marc Zvi Brettler on the 106th yahrzeit of S. R. Driver of whom, it is said: He taught the faithful criticism and the critics faith. Read Marc's article to find out who said this and more importantly, why. And as a coda, this music, which as Matthew Larkin says, if you allow yourself the necessary time, "will leave you speechless".

youtube

Week 11 Post 2

The competition is heating up across the league a s teams fight for playoffs positions. In a week that included 3 games that featured a 6-4 team taking on a 5-5 team, a loss could be detrimental to postseason hopes.

For Team XCLUSIVE (5-5), a loss would likely knock him out of the playoffs due to poor scoring, he is currently 10th ranked in the league in the Total Points category, and key losses (Wk 2 to Lol Lmao, Wk 3 to T3am 3rn3st, Wk 10 to Team Juan G). He currently trails Yes Papi 130.2 to 48.7; RB Alvin Kamara was the only player in his lineup to top 10 points. Yes Papi (6-4) will be glad to stop his two game skid with this win and hopes to build on a great outing for next week’s game against Mahomey is Tryna Holla.

Team 3rn3st is a unlikely team making a last season surge to the playoffs. He is currently 4-6, on a two game win streak, and leading Team Holmes 50.6 points with one player left to play. After starting 1-5 he has won three of the last four games, the one lost was by 2.8 points to Yes Papi so he could realistically be 4-0 in those four. 3rn3st has two top ten ranked QB’s, Ben Roethlisberger and Phillip Rivers, and a top ten ranked WR in Antonio Brown, so the pieces for a run are there. Currently sitting at the 12 seed, he will receive a boost thanks to likely losses by Team XCLUSIVE and LIOOOOOOOOOOOON!!!!

The biggest upset in Leagueshua history is projected to take place this week. 2-8 BOONK GANG currently leads first place Lol Lmao (8-2) bya score of 94.3 to 48.1, and the projection has the game finishing at 94.3 to 93. All of BOONK GANG’s team has played, but Lol Lmao has WR Brandin Cooks, RB Todd Gurley, and possibly WR Sammy Watkins; Watkins is currently a game time decision with a foot injury. A loss for Lol Lmao would create a tie for first place in the league between him and Uhhh DEXTER.

Leading into Monday night’s showdown, Team Juan G took the lead for a third time against Mahomey is Tryna Holla in the Leagueshua match-up of the week. Patrick Mahomes and Kareem Hunt are still waiting to play for me and they need to outscore QB Jared Goff by 11.3 points for me to win. Those two average a combined 60 points, so I believe my chances to win are high; also, ESPN projects a 115.8 to 106.5 win for me which extends my win streak to four games.

Outside of Aaron Jones, only two players scored more than 10 for me (WR Deandre Hopkins - 14.6, Kicker Kai’imi Fairbairn - 10). Team Juan G added 17 points from RB Christian McCaffrey and 21.4 points from WR JuJu Smith-Schuster onto his 29.6 point base. Juan G will have to lean upon third ranked fantasy QB, Jared Goff, to protect the lead. Goff averages 29.9 points per contest and is projected to hit that exact point total tonight in what is supposed to be a shootout against the Chiefs.
