The Difference is that the Christianity isn't Platonism, and really never was in the Eastern Church, but much more so in the West.

Much like the idea of the Rapture in this country is different than the original and current Eastern Church; here it's more like a relatively recent book and movie than scripture.

The divergent influence of Plato doesn't change the original meaning of scripture, which is New Creation; Heaven on Earth in an eternal physical body, not a soul somewhere in space.

The word in used for soul in Hebrew is best understood as, 'the self'.

"You are spot on. In biblical Hebrew, the word most frequently translated as "soul" is nephesh ().

Rather than an immortal, non-physical essence trapped in a body, scholars and linguists emphasize that nephesh is better understood as the whole person, your life, or simply your "self"."

dropped yesterday

- "soul goes to heaven"

Which is Plato, not Christianity. Unfortunately there was some Middle Ages confusion on the subject.

I saw no one fight for nothin'
Against twenty godless fiends
You could fill a man with gold
And there'd still be room for greed
So I rent a mind and borrow words
For thoughts I cannot say
This'll be the way it is
This and not some other way

Whomever runs for the Dems should have a an Obama as VP; nothing says Barack can't be VP. But Michelle got enough death threats for her and her family not to ever want them to have anything to do with holding political office now.

Also, as she said, this country is not ready for any woman President.

Had a driver the other day, young kid from Cuba who told me he crossed the 90 miles in a boat (illegally) to get here.

He said that the people get paid in pesos, but everything they buy is for dollars; he was making 16 dollars a week there.

We talked about how the State was like Russia and China, in that even the local Police work for the State, not the People... so corruption was rampant there just as in Russia and China, who have increasing presence in Cuba for years he said.

He talked about how Marco Rubio's father is (was?) Cuban, so he hopes that there will be 'regime change' there, in another place in the world that badly needs it.

His Mom is still there, and he's saving money to get her across. Asked him his name, and he told me... it was the Spanish of my name. We had a good laugh at that.

Regime change is hard werk once there's an Authoritarian Regime in place; something we should be more mindful of in this country.

"Israel and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire agreement Friday to end their fighting in Lebanon, three diplomats briefed on the matter told CBS News.

It comes after violence flared overnight in a major test of the durability of the U.S.-Iran deal signed by President Trump just two days ago.

Lebanese state media said at least 18 civilians were killed in Israel's deadliest attacks since the U.S. and Iran finalized their agreement, while Israel said four soldiers were killed in an attack on a tank."

Re #6

It's hilarious!

There's more footage before and after, showing the hapless Russian guys firing this from the heavily trafficked highway nearby, trying to hit a drone.

Iran is just another bankrupt Casino to Trump.

Such a Deal!

Most Iranians want regime change...

"Rejection of the Theocracy: Comprehensive surveys conducted by research groups"such as the Group for Analyzing and Measuring Attitudes in Iran (GAMAAN)"indicate that roughly 70"80% of Iranians reject the Islamic Republic and favor fundamental regime change."

- because they negotiated a way for them to make money off of the reconstruction

Jared and the Trump Crime Family and their UAE Partners are partying as we speak.

Sounds like experience speaking... ok, gumming.

Fartfisher shows where his mind is at... in some guy's pants.

"Talarico in Waco called on Paxton to release all text messages, emails, internal documents and memos relating to the Hoffman plea deal.

"Those documents need to be made public immediately so that Texans can get answers about this corrupt deal," Talarico said, "If there's anything all Texans can agree on - whether they are Democrats, Republicans, progressives or conservatives - is that no one, not even the attorney general of Texas, should be able to cover up crimes against children."

Stevie Wonder!

One of President Obama's Best Speeches Ever!

A complete opposite of the evil fool in the WH now.

And now Bruce Springsteen...

- Who is going to be cast in the role of the decomposing orange chomo?

My favorite part is when he said that if he didn't make this Deal, there would be, 'an "economic catastrophe" and a worldwide recession.

Which, of course, he would rightly be blamed for.

So, this was all for nothing... and all on him.

"No one has the Right to sit in Judgement of who is American enough!" - Michelle Obama

She cracked Bill and Hil up when she points out that Barack DID win a Nobel Peace Prize... as opposed to the current Pres.

Visitor is one of those Cultists who still 'thinks' that Trump is for the working people.... AHAHAHAHA!

Great music.... and Michelle just took the stage.

"Springsteen, Bono and Stevie Wonder will help the Obamas open their presidential museum"

That's SO pre-Trumpy!
