What happened to Russia passenger airliner over Egypt?

By Russell Le Masters

 

On October 31 2015 a plane crashed over Egypt. Within a few days Russia had sent aviation experts and investigators to find out what had happened.

According to yahoo news President of Russia was in a special briefing with Alexsander Bornitkov of the Federal Security Service. Before returning to Egypt Mr. Putin told the press of the findings. He vowed retribution on those who are responsible for the death of the 224 mostly Russian passengers.
As of yet no terrorist group has claimed responsibility.

Two forms of animal symbolism

By Gman4326

I go to the behavior of these animals in order to come up with the symbolism.

Sheep as a form of animal symbolism

According to [1] sheep 101 the sheep enjoy being part of a flock and despise being alone. They live off their instincts and they frighten easily. They are loyal only to their shepherds. We consider them dumb because the sheep want to be part of a flock.

Goat as a form of symbolism

According to [2] Cheryl K Smith, goats live in a hierarchical system. There is a goat queen and a head buck. They use biting and butting to communicate and shows who dominates. When left alone goats are considered self-sufficient.

When man denies the existence of God they act like goats.

Symbolism is made of....

By Gman4326

Symbolism is made of two parts. One is historical and the other is philosophical. On the historical part is associated with what is passed down from parent to child, factual and, truthful. On the philosophical end is associated a man worldview, [1] epistemology, and how a man worships.

Who is responsible to promulgate in this area?

There is the body of believers and there is corporate worship. It is not the job of the church (corporate) to develop the systematic forms of symbolism but to be a place to worship God. However, it is the job of the church (body of believers) to engage in this area. This can be done in different ways. One is singing, another by reading or writing poetry, stories, drama and other forms of literature; finally by painting out of what God has created.

[2] How man knows what he knows.

When symbolism did not exist in the world

A cloth maker who is a member of a local church had extra samples. Honey do you need these samples for quilting or Britch patching, asks the husband to his wife? We have plenty, answers the wife. Anyone else needs these samples, asks her husband? No one has asked to purchase these samples, responds the wife. I bet the pastor certainly can do something with these. So I'll give them to the pastor after church this Sunday saying to himself thoughtfully. Pastor, says the cloth maker. Thank you for coming to church again the pastor says to another person. Yes, cloth maker. How can i help you, asks the pastor? I have extra samples i want to give to you, answers the gentlemen. Don't you use your samples for simple quilting patterns or to patch up clothing, asks the pastor? Normally yes, pastor but my wife and others are making several quilts for children and adults. These samples are what is left, answers the cloth maker. See you next pastor, another group passes the two in conversation. May God bless you this week, responds the pastor. So you have no use for these samples at all or give them away to someone else, asks the pastor? If it was possible I would have done so, answers the cloth maker. Can I look at the samples, asks the pastor? The cloth maker shows the pastor the cloth. Let me see, a couple of red, white, green and blue pieces of material.

Red could represent blood and Christ Jesus sacrifice gives us our hope and faith. White could represent purity and life. Green could represent nature and also God green earth. Blue could represent heaven where Christ Jesus throne exists, says the pastor to himself thoughtfully. How much for the samples, asks the pastor? There free to you, answers the cloth maker. Pastor asks the question a second time? They normally cost 5 copper coins, answers the cloth maker. For the entire selection or each cloth type, asks the pastor? Cloth type, answers the cloth maker. Here are twenty copper coins the pastor says to the cloth maker. The pastor counts out twenty one cent copper coins. Thank you for your business pastor, says the cloth maker. No problem answers the pastor. A day has passed. It is the residence of pastor. Can I turn one of these into a bow I wonder, asks the pastor to himself thoughtfully? Let me see, bend one end into a u shape, and then tie into a bow. Voila, at least the white is long enough. I can use this on Easter Sunday and explain to the congregation that the elders and deacons of the church are not endorsing my actions. A while later! There is the old rugged cross. I’ll shape the cloth I have been practicing with on the empty cross, mention the pastor to his own breath. What are you doing, inquires one of elders of the church? Adding a temporary prop to the cross, responds the pastor. Temporary only, asks the elder? It will be temporary elder, answers the pastor. As this is Easter as the pastor begins to explain about the white bow on tied to the cross. Without the permission of the elders and deacons, nor is it the right of the governing body to give me such permission. I do this as a member of the church not as a leader. This white bow symbolizes Christ victory over death itself when he rose from the dead, which ended the explanation the pastor gave to his congregation. The End!

One of the things I spoke on:

Regulative principles for the arts with Scripture proof.

Epistemology:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1-2) out of nothing by the means of the spoken word (Psalm 33:6-9). God gives certain men stewardship knowledge out of the material which He created; tents, (Genesis 4:20) music (vs21); metal working (vs22); Ark (Genesis 6:14-18); Tabernacle (Exodus 35:4-35).

Stewardship:
God allows both in the spoken (Hosea 12:10) and the (1 Kings 4:29-34) literary word to be used. God does forbid the sculpturing of an image for the purpose to be worshiped (Exodus 20:4) but the believer must worship God in spirit and in truth (john 4:24).

A talk on symbolism and a decline on christian thought.

By Gman4326

I went to a Boston Catholic Newspaper website to see if they have a definition for symbolism and they do. I'm releasing the raw audio. It is 22 minutes and 30 seconds long.

But why would I do that?
To have contrast with other Christian groups are doing.

I'm speaking in a monochrome voice.

Dependence upon GOD

By Gman4326

Who does the impoverished man cried out to for aid? Is it not the one who sits on the mercy seat? Is any civil magistrate immune from insurrection? Unless the LORD brings peace unto the land it is simply impossible for it to happen. Was it not the LORD who created the waves and the currents therein? Who else fashioned the starry night sky? Is not the answer obvious? Who gave wisdom too Oholiab and Bezel in order to build the tabernacle? Was it not the LORD? God and the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; loves those who fear Him and know they are dependent upon his lovingkindness alone.
Psalm 33:16-19; Psalm 20:7; 1 Samuel 2:9; Psalm 147: 9-11; Proverbs 21:31;

The nation that brought freedom to the world allows its citizens to live in poverty.

Hong Kong is number one in the world for economic freedom. For example the former uk territory allows private banks to issue currency http://www.hkma.gov.hk/eng/key-functions/monetary-stability/notes-coins-hong-kong/notes.shtml while the united states is under a fiat currency.  In chapter two and on page 178 in public document form (pdf) it goes into detail why the U.S is 16^th in the world in economic freedom. Our rights concerning right to own private property went from no problem to an overall rating to 6^th in 2015. http://www.freetheworld.com/2015/economic-freedom-of-the-world-2015.pdf

Pulp Fiction: A Solemn Greeting

By Gman4326

Head scratch, a yawing sound with the use of the back of the right hand to rub the eyes and nose. This outlook I have is rather positive even though I’m still half awake and only on the edge of the bed. Arms forward, elbows bended to form the shape of a v then the hands are clasped together. Οὓτως γἁρ ἠγάπησεν ὁ Θεὸς τὸν κόσμον, ὥστε τὸν Υἱὸν, τὸν μονογενῆ, ἔδωκεν, ἵνα πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων εἰς αὐτὸν, μὴ ἀπόληται, ἀλλ’ ἔχῃ ζωὴν αἰώνιον is what being read. For God so loved the world he gave us his only begotten that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but will have everlasting life as it is understood. So the presuppositional aspect of many evangelical dogmas comes from πᾶς ὁ πιστεύων or the believing ones. As I remember πᾶς has three different definitions; 1. without article each and every; 2. with article entire, whole; (πᾶς ὁ everyone, who); 3. Everyone, everything. And πιστεύων means having faith in God or Christ. Even though my intent is not to win an argument but to understand what my friends are thinking. The evangelical doctrine here is called universal salvation which means even unbelievers are saved by my Lord penal substitution. But wouldn’t that offend them, after all the idea of a Christian God let alone a Christian heaven is offensive to them. When I say the term God it means one in being aka monotheism but three in persons aka trinity and not trinitarianism which are three separate beings. I like my friends and they will disagree with me but that is not why they are my friends. They are my friends because are hobbies are similar so I think. With both hands he slapped his face. Lifting himself up by the knees from his bed walks towards the bathroom.

A slight squeaking noise comes from the cold water. A brush, brush sounding noise is coming from the toothbrush hitting the upper teeth. A splash sound as he removes the paste from the brush. With a cupping of his hands he put them in front of water and places it into the mouth to gargle with. He then splashes water on the face. Finds the towel and then rubs it on the face. Pit, pat goes the feet. A guttural sounds is coming from the Adam apple with he and the lo. Hello brother.

The End!

Language is like cooking

Fear of the Lord is beginning of knowledge (Proverbs 1:7)

By Gman4326

 

Language is like cooking as there different methods in both speaking; and what is found on the page. With fried chicken there is the two steps is the wet and using a starch. 3 steps are the starch, wet and starch and the one step which is the use of a starch. Some cooks will prepare immediately others will put the food in refrigerator then fry it later. I almost forgot the different cooking oils and spices. Well each cook naturally decides that on their own.

What I have learned about language is that of a cook having their own fry chicken recipe. In modern English we don’t use the case based system and in fact the preposition does away with the need to know the difference between the use accusative over a dative. There is a major drawback to this if everyone only uses the three step way of making fried chicken you will eventually have people who love to correct the cook as if by second nature and if a chef or cook cannot be creative by using other methods they will quit their jobs. The other side of the coin is that by bulling people who want to help is they become more cautious and even worse it makes the society easier to be controlled and manipulated through their taste buds.  Same thing with the government controlling the spoken and written word and we the American people are the guinea pigs. We control others by correcting them and the government knows it. ! Seventy four percent of the public are going to public schools and nearly of the ten percent that are home schooled get their textbooks from a local bookstore. No one dares to be creative because the system once again allows for word bullying and most of us are too proud to admit we have manipulated by the very system we send our kids every year.

Does this mean you should not help someone who needs to be corrected?
If a person is using modern English as the grammatical standard please go ahead and correct them.

However if a person is using different form of English ask them if it is being done on purpose or not. If not then again help them out.

Gman4326 view on the Crucifixion

By Gman4326

Historical Narrative

Q1. Did the romans use the method called crucifixion?
A1. The Roman government used the method called crucifixion.
Q2. Roman used this method on whom?
A2. This method was used on foreigners and military deserters.
Q3. Did this method allow for the prisoner to die a painless death?
A3. This method does not allow a prisoner to die a painless death.
Q4. What was this method used for?
A5.  This method was used to kill the prisoner by the means of asphyxiation.
Q5. Is the Good Friday story true?
A5. It is an historical fact the Lord Jesus did die while on the cross. However, the roman catholic Jesus was not nailed by the hands and feet.

An article found on bible archaeology website from July 7 2011 shows a picture of a prisoner dying on a cross the proper way. A man's hands are tied by rope and two nails piercing each leg. A Dr. Edwards wrote an article 1986, for which it can be found online. Describes an upper bar and a horizontal bar that weighs a total of 300 pounds and this method was meant to send a message to not mess with Rome or her right to rule over them. Crucifixion in the ancient world was no joke. A first Century believer understood that taking up the cross and follow Him meant not only to die to oneself but your are pilgrim in strange world full of selfish people.

Gman4326 Banners and Arms

By Gman4326

There are different aspects when it comes symbolism one these is called the nonverbal identifier. This allows an artist to start off with an object such as a shield then draw something in the middle or different drawings to make something more complex. The purpose is to advance the plot in a story or program.

Basic

This a simple shield.



Different Coats of Arms







The cross



Faith



Streams of Faith



The different uses are:

1. Military emblem

2. City emblem

3. Family emblem

4. Draw a person into the story This is what the language of symbolism is all about. To bring a deeper meaning to what it is simple.

How times change

by Gman4326
An article was written and published by the New York Post in 1989. The story was about the medical data written up by the Nazis doctors and whether or not to use the information. Back then for the sake of the Victims it was and still unethical to use that data but after current leaders of planned parenthood selling of baby body parts as a form quote 'Children as a Commodity' from the 89' article and not from the videos released. How times change that what was taboo twenty six years ago is no longer the case. Something to think about?

Signs that a society is in disarray part two

By Mel Scriptorium

 

Series of Questions and answers

What is Funimation?

A voice acting Studio started by Gen Fukunaga 21 years ago.

Why would Funimation be willing to VA Comcast content?

Profit purposes.

Update: Is it wrong to earn a living?
It is not wrong to earn a living.

Why would News Corp. and Time warner collude in such a manner?

For ideological reasons.

How is it ideological?

The networks do need to make a profit but behind it is purely ideological. To create a global systematized form of tropes, symbolism and storylines. They can’t do this automatically but through legalized stealing of information.

How is it legalized stealing?

We (USA) no longer understand or support Christian forms of symbolism unless one has direct interest in the field. So instead of creating original content using are systems they have to steal ideas from the host country. To me that is legalized theft.

The solution is simple.

The industry must be heavily regulated once again, to be forced back into the Hayes code which includes and updated form of the fines. Breakup the monopolies similar to the glass/stegle act. All local affiliates must be owned and operated locally. It is no longer enough to have independent companies whose corp. headquarters in Connecticut, New York or Atlanta GA. Local means local. Heavy fines must be levied on third party ownership of said networks. Man loves his corruption to want that to happen.

Signs that a society is in disarray!

By Mel Scriptorium  

For profit content provider: A company that produces content that is then distributed by said provider.

Product: Television shows or Movies

This is not done in our society. The content provider can produce a product that is distributed by someone else. When Sid and Marty krofft released their shows a generation ago they were small time content providers selling to either local or national distributor sites. To me this makes sense. But when Fox (news corp.) or warner bros. collude together it is called monopoly, especially when FCC does nothing to stop it. This laze fare attitude needs to stop. How come, one may ask? Unless you live in a large market L.A or N.Y city the local networks want to buy re-runs on the cheap. This harms the entire infrastructure of our entertainment system. NBC (Comcast) is already building new markets by producing product overseas and having it redistributed locally through a third-party called Funimation. They quite frankly make us watch garbage on there local affiliates, while spending money to ruin another nations entertainment platform. It is that apathic attitude we have in our culture that allows this garbage to continue.

Gender?

By Gman4326

In certain places in this purple mountains majesty using the terms boys and girls is to exclusive according to the school district in Lincoln Nebraska. The new inclusive term is purple penguins. Those of us from the old school need to understand that homeschooling is EVIL but government endorsed education is GOOD. I have a few articles on this very blog post disagreeing with what they have to say. There is no neutrality when it comes to language for at its core it is religious. And the other side knows it.

IS it worldly to develop art and culture?

By Gman4326

*Dr. Francis Schaeffer in his 1974 book ‘art and the bible’ page thirteenth brings up a good point is performing in the fine arts, being a dramatists, or to produce such things to worldly? Does God and the father, son, holy spirit forbids such mundane lifestyle? Are not being too spiritual cause problems as well? Will you not starve if you don’t have a job! Man needs an occupation to live. Human flourishing (genesis 10) is not just getting married and procreating, or going to church on Sunday’s those things are just part of life. Worldliness to me means adopting natural philosophy Special revelation supports biblical philosophy alone. The problem in a modern society is that we have adopted too much of the former rather than the latter. IT makes many of us ^1. δίψυχος and therefore makes men ^2. ἀκατάστατος from James 1:8. With recent SCOTUS decision it is apparent being neutral is no longer an option though it never was to begin with.
 

Footnotes---

*: What is the place of art in the Christian life? Is art----especially the fine arts of painting and music ---- simply a way to bring in worldliness through the back door? We know that poetry may be used to praise God in, say, the psalms and even in modern hymns. But what about sculpture or drama? Do these have any place in the Christian life? Shouldn’t a Christian focus his gaze steadily on “religious things” alone and forget about art and culture?

Basics of Biblical philosophy

By Gman4326

Biblical philosophy: God is eternal, above all, none are equal to Him, unchanging and created the heavens and the earth within six days; mankind is made in the image of God therefore has purpose, sense and reason.
Philosophical rule 1:
All things seen and unseen are made by and thru God alone.

Example:

LORD, our Lord
Your name is above all other names there is none besides thee.
Lord God you formed all things out of nothing.
You fashioned the earth just using one of your index fingers, the atmosphere from the breath coming out of thy lungs.
The mountains our made out clay found on thy potters table.
The depths of the ocean are found in one of many warehouses you alone know exist.

Philosophical rule 2:

Man is a mere image of God

Example

Who are we/ is man but a mirror of thee
Who is man but a mirror image of thee; our knowledge, senses and reason come from you alone.
Amen!

LORD, our Lord

Your name is above all other names there is none besides thee.
Lord God you formed all things out of nothing.
You fashioned the earth just using one of your index fingers, the atmosphere from the breath coming out of thy lungs.
The mountains our made out clay found on thy potters table.
The depths of the ocean are found in one of many warehouses you alone know exist.
Who is man but a mirror image of thee; our knowledge, senses and reason come from you alone.
Amen!

Two views on education

Christian view on education leads to self-governance; and the other false view leads to salvation (sic).

In many Asian countries the first view is adopted but for the sake of the community.

Cliche a story forward

By Gman4326

Is a cliché evil by nature? The answer is no. It advances stories forward sometimes. For an example a man is on the ground and holds out his hand to a relative or friend and says I'm getting to old for this. How so? The exposition by the character is to prevent a pregnant pause from occurring. Yet this cliché is still sin for the script writer had nothing else in his arsenal.

CLICHE = SIN

 

The preaching of the Gospel.

Article 3: (Canon of Dort)



"In order that people may be brought to faith. God mercifully sent evangelists to promulagate this most joyful message to the people he wishes and at a time he wishes. By this ministry people are called to repentance and faoth in the Christ crucified. For how shall they believe in him of who they have not heard? And how will they hear without preaching? And how will they preach unless they have been sent? (Romans 10:14-15)" John Thomas Creeds and Confessions of the Reformed Faith

Qualification of being a wizard:

By Gman4326 

1.       White: theologian and an elder of the church.

2.       Red: missionary, apologist  

3.       Brown: pastor and an elder of the church

4.       Green: father of children, deacon, elder of a church

A green robed wizard doesn't have to be an elder or deacon to join the profession.

This topic is in regards to Christian fantasy.

By Gman4326

Leviticus 20:27

A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them. (King James Version)

The general practice of fortune telling and engaging in trying to know the prescriptive will of God is forbidden (in the real world).

(In the fantasy world where wizarding is a profession is an honorable one.)

What if a wizard instead says this: Ye shall therefore keep all of God statutes. He is not calling on what is forbidden but on being a holy person before God and the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Wizards in this fantasy world are ministers of the gospel. These devout men are speaking out against what is evil in God sight. Battling of brown robed wizard against black robed wizard is like engaging in a debate or proclaiming the gospel against the enemy’s natural philosophical world view.

Wizards in Christian worldview are ministers of the gospel. These devout men are speaking out against what is evil in God sight. Battling of brown robed wizard against black robed wizard is like engaging in a debate or proclaiming the gospel against the enemy’s natural philosophical world view.

But God forbids this does him not? In the actual practice what is forbidden the answer is yes.

This a dumb argument you’re making then is it not? If I was calling for the actual practice the answer would be yes.
Is the promulgation of the gospel a sin then? Would your answer be a no also? Any church takes the time to purchase bible tracts will want them handed out.

Entertainment is meant to not only edify the believer but also to educate those who are not. Only if the work is so well done that the unbeliever does not know they are also being indoctrinated as well.  

Have you seen a fortune teller?
Unfortunately the answer would be yes. L
