How Could You Beliefs Affect Other Lives

Have I ever told you how I met Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor? I had been doing research on the Jewish Jesus for about five years, when one day I realized that I did not personally know a Jewish person. I had never asked a Jewish person what they thought about the Jewish Jesus! Most of my information sources about the Jewish Jesus were Christians and they were either ministers or members of churches. That just struck me as odd that day.

My wife worked for a Jewish organization so I asked her for suggestions about how I could meet a Jewish person and she suggested that I enroll in a course at the Dallas Jewish Community Center – so I did and guess who was teaching a class? If you guessed “Rabbi Leynor,” you are right! It was a course on the “Prophets” and I learned a lot. But, something happened in one of those classes that really affected my life. Continue reading at

Distinguishing Between The Kingdom of Elohim & Cosmic Wars

A cosmic war is like a ritual drama in which participants act out on earth a battle they believe is actually taking place in the heavens. It is, in other words, both a real, physical struggle in this world and an imagined, moral encounter in the world beyond.

They are traditionally translated as “ Spirit of God .” But, since they are in a “ construct state, ” this means they are so closely united that “ together they constitute one compound idea .” 1 It is important to know where the RUACH ELOHIYM is located in the account – “ It was hovering above the surface of the waters .” The ancient text makes it clear that everything created has its own specific place and that requires a map. Words you take for granted mean very different things in this account, beginning with “ Earth .” Everything Has a Place 1. Humans live on the dry thing named “Earth.” 2.

Will science do a better job than religions?

Science tells us the following things about humans: 1. Humans have basic physical requirements that must be met in order to survive. 2. Humans are totally dependent on other humans from conception to death. 3. Without cooperation or power relationships required for human survival will not exist. 4. Relationships based on cooperation have better outcomes than those based on power. The first stories in the book of Genesis reveal the same ideas. Do you think science will do a better job than religions in getting humans to understand and apply them to their lives? Or do you think religions can change and do a better job? _____________________________________________________________ Did you find this information helpful?
