Some ramblings about myself and Easter Sunday Memories.

Awesome book. I am at page 150

This was a special request from Wayman29, be careful what you wish for Wayman!

I’M NO KIN TO A MONKEY!

I’m no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about   more...his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree.

It seems so unbelievable,
And yet they say that it’s true,
They’re teaching us about it in school now,
That humans were monkeys once too.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree.

Although it’s so ridiculous,
They’re teaching us now that it’s true,
The teachers that came from a monkey,
Would be better off in a zoo.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree.

It seems so much more believable,
And surely, surely it’s true,
That God made Man in His image,
No monkey story will do.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree,

This monkey business has to go,
Because it just isn’t true,
It’s such a disgrace to the monkey,
A disgrace to the human race too.

Oooo I’m no kin to the monkey no no no,
The monkey’s no kin to me yeah yeah yeah,
I don’t know much about his ancestors,
But mine didn’t swing from a tree,
Mine didn’t swing from a tree,
Mine didn’t swing from a tree.  less

I use the Hebrew word in order to possibly explain that they may have been like the Christians in Acts 4:32-37 This makes more sense to me.

Hindu-Goddess of the rivers and healing. One part of her is the milky way and the other the river Ganges. The Ganges is the   more...Holy River of Hinduism. Bathing in its waters cleanses one of all sins. She is the Goddess of health and luck.

Ganga = Cleansing Stream

The story goes that this "mother of rivers" once lived in heaven with her sister, the virgin, Uma. When sea-dwelling demons harassed the earth, Agastya swallowed the ocean where they hid, thereby getting rid of the demons; but the earth was left seriously parched and dry. Because of the prayers of the people, the heavenly water goddess Ganga descended to earth. She became embodied as the sacred river Ganges. Her role is as the goddess of health, happiness, fertility, and wealth. One of the wives of Shiva, she was the daughter of the mountain Himalaya.

Christian Textual Variants:

The verb used in the New Testament is (ßapt?´??, bapti´zo¯). The substantives ba´ptisma and baptismo´s occur, though the latter is not used in the New Testament of the ordinance of baptism except by implication (Heb_6:2, "the teaching of baptisms") where the reference is to the distinction between the Christian ordinance and the Jewish ceremonial ablutions. Some documents have it also in Col_2:12 (compare Heb_9:10, "divers washings") for a reference purely to the Jewish purifications (compare the dispute about purifying in Joh_3:25). The verb baptizo¯ appears in this sense in Luk_11:38 (margin) where the Pharisee marveled that Jesus "had not first bathed himself before breakfast" (noon-day meal). The Mosaic regulations required the bath of the whole body (Lev_15:16) for certain uncleannesses. Tertullian (de Baptismo, XV) says that the Jew required almost daily washing. Herodotus (ii.47) says that if an Egyptian "touches a swine in passing with his clothes, he goes to the river and dips himself (ba´pto¯) from it" (quoted by Broadus in Commentary on Matthew, 333). See also the Jewish scrupulosity illustrated in Sirach 34:25 and Judith 12:7 where baptizo¯ occurs.


The Baptists make one more point concerning baptism. It is that, since Jesus himself submitted to it and enjoined it upon His disciples, the ordinance is of perpetual obligation. The arguments for the late ecclesiastical origin of Mat 28:19 are not convincing. If it seem strange that Jesus should mention the three persons of the Trinity in connection with the command to baptize, one should remember that the Father and the Spirit were both manifested to Him at His baptism. It was not a mere ceremonial ablution like the Jewish rites. It was the public and formal avowal of fealty to God, and the names of the Trinity properly occur. The new heart is wrought by the Holy Spirit. Reconciliation with the Father is wrought on the basis of the work of the Son, who has manifested the Father's love in His life and death for sin. The fact that in the acts in the examples of baptism only the name of Jesus occurs does not show that this was the exact formula used.

For a well rounded Catholic theological view, that was very well done, see the FatherNathan video on the topic. He raises some very good questions.

Book 6 Iliad


For Antea, wife of Proetus, lusted after him, and would have had him lie with her in secret; but Bellerophon was an honorable man and would not, so she told lies about him to Proteus. 'Proetus,'   more...said she, 'kill Bellerophon or die, for he would have had converse with me against my will.' The king was angered, but shrank from killing Bellerophon, so he sent him to Lycia with lying letters of introduction, written on a folded tablet, and containing much ill against the bearer. He bade Bellerophon show these letters to his father-in-law, to the end that he might thus perish; Bellerophon therefore went to Lycia, and the gods convoyed him safely.

And after a time his master's wife cast her eyes on Joseph and said, "Lie with me." But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Look, with me here, my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my hand. He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except yourself, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?" And although she spoke to Joseph day after day, he would not consent to lie beside her or to be with her. One day, however, when he went into the house to do his work, and while no one else was in the house, she caught hold of his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.
When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,
she called out to the members of her household and said to them, "See, my husband [161] has brought among us a Hebrew to insult us! He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice;
and when he heard me raise my voice and cry out, he left his garment beside me, and fled outside."
Then she kept his garment by her until his master came home,
and she told him the same story, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to insult me;
but as soon as I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me, and fled outside."
When his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, "This is the way your servant treated me," he became enraged. Gen 39:7-19

Pharaoh said to Jacob, "How many are the years of your life?"
Jacob said to Pharaoh, "The years of my earthly sojourn are one hundred thirty; few and hard have been the years of my life. They do not compare with the years of the life of my ancestors during their long sojourn."Gen 47:8-9  less
