Today is Good Friday – in Australia, at least; it’s still the day before in some parts of the world.  Today, many Christians celebrate and remember Yehoshua ha’Mashiach/Jesus the Christ’s death by crucifixion on a Friday, and His resurrection 3 days later on a Sunday.
BUT – it’s all a myth.  No, Yeshua’s crucifixion and resurrection is absolutely NOT a myth in any way, shape or form – nor is it “non-literal”, as some absurdly claim.  However, the tale of “Good Friday” is a myth.  Allow me to elaborate.
The Bible is clear that Jesus was raised on a Sunday.  More specifically, Saturday night.  And since in Biblical times days were counted from sunset to sunset, what we call Saturday night was in fact Sunday – or to use the Biblical phrase, “first day of the week”.  (There was no “Sunday sunrise resurrection”; it was during the night.)  And it…

The Evil of "Biblical" Patriarchy

  Skip The following is from the ABC (the Australian ABC, not the American one). Having personally witnessed the effects of teaching and/or believing that wives are meant to be submissive, that the man is the head of the house or is meant to have authority, that only men should hold certain (or all) offices, etc – and having read testimonies like this, I simply don’t have any respect for the belief. Some will respond that complementarianism teaches that the genders are equal and that the ideology doesn’t always lead to abuse and that they’re separate from patriarchy. I’m sorry, but a gender hierarchy is inherently opposite to equality – the two are mutually exclusive. It is inherently patriarchal. The most successful/healthy complementarian marriages are NEVER complementarian – they are ALWAYS egalitarian, despite giving lip service to the “righteousness” of complementarianism and the “evil” of egalitarianism. Complementarianism – the soft form of patriarchy – doesn’t always lead t...

The Werewolves of Ireland

Ah, werewolves.  Popular trope in horror movies and novels.  Usually portrayed as a human who transforms into a humanoid wolf (or as a human-wolf hybrid).  Sometimes the condition (known as lycanthropy) is genetic and hereditary, sometimes it’s the result of a werewolf bite, sometimes the result of a curse.  It’s often (but not necessarily) related to the full moon.   https://youtu.be/TKIbuXsN2F4   https://youtu.be/myjd4uoq6dY https://youtu.be/kzZcDHHNINk However, these nightmarish beasts are not limited to the world of fiction; they are a legendary creature, seen and encountered by many people up until the present day. What are they?  Some are Nephilim – the hybrid products of fallen angels mixing with humans and animals (and possibly humans with animals) in centuries and millennia past.  Others are demonically possessed humans, at least some of which got into “the dark arts”, to borrow Harry Potter ‘s term for ...

Restored English Translation of Genesis: Chapter 14

-
  Here is my  Restored English Translation  (RET) of  Beresheet  ( Genesis ) chapter 14.  As usual, it contains the  Hebrew names  and a glossary for them.  After that, at the very end, is a list of occurrences of the  Aleph/ Tavs . Verse 5 is particularly interesting; it mentions that the confederacy that attacked Sodom and Gomorrah had previously struck the Rephaim, Zuzim, Emim and Horites.  The Rephaim were a race of  Nephilim , and the others may have been as well.
