Leynor and Myers on Living Life as a Human


We, Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and former pastor Jim Myers, have learned a lot about living life over the past thirty-years as congregation leaders in a synagogue and church, chaplains of law enforcement agencies, teachers and counselors. We have experienced the happiest moments in life – marriages, births, victories, successes -- and the saddest and most feared moments – deaths, divorces, tragedies, failures. We have been there when babies were born into or adults decided to convert to our religions -- and when people decided to leave them too.

The more people know about what it means to be a human, the better they are at planning and coping with life experiences. We created the TOV Center as a way to accomplish our goals. It is an educational nonprofit corporation. Our information comes from our religions, science and personal experiences. Our religions are great sources of ancient wisdom, morals and values. New scientific discoveries reveal the roles genes and memes play in creating the realities that affect human behavior. Personal experiences have made it very clear there is always the possibility of the unexpected in life, especially when unintended consequences of human actions arise.

If you have been part of our journey in the past,
we hope you will join with us in the TOV Center’s new venture.

Visit the TOV Center website and you will find options for connecting with us so you will be aware of upcoming local and online events. Two great options are by “Liking” our Facebook Page and Following us on Twitter. Links to both are on the TOV Center website. Join with us as we explore options for living life as a human that maximize the human experience.

We are Genetically Structured Creatures

SOURCE 1 The above picture was taken in 1953 when James Watson (left) and Francis Crick presented their model of a DNA molecule ( deoxyribonucleic acid model ). They had pieced together pieces of a scientific puzzle that scientists had been working on for many years. With the discovery of this model a new way of understanding life began -- humans could understand the basic building blocks of life for the first time in history. 2   Image Source 3 DNA is a double-stranded   molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. 4 3,000,000 species share this genetic code. The DNA alphabet consists of four letters that represent the four chemical bases that make up the rungs of the DNA – A, T, G & C . ● A - adenine ● G - guanine ● C - cytosine ● T - thymine Be sure to note that rungs are made of combinations of “ A and T ” or “ C and G .” The h...

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. The conflict may be real and the carnage material, but the war itself is being waged on a spiritual plane; we humans are merely actors in a divine script written by God. A cosmic war partitions the world into black and white, good and evil, us and them . Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/31669ceec901/distinguishing-between-the-kingdom-of-elohim-cosmic-wars

The Mystery of the Seventh Day

The Seventh Day of Creation reveals a mystery that very few people have ever heard. It received the Third Blessing of the Creator, a blessing that is not recorded in the Hebrew text. The first two blessings were for creatures with living souls. The blessings empower those creatures to fulfill the words of the blessings in their lives. However, in light of the first two blessings, the third raises some very important questions. (1) Does the Seventh Day have a living soul too? (2) What did the third blessing empower the Seventh Day to do? (3) What relationship does the Seventh Day have to humans? Listen to Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and Jim Myers discuss the Mystery of the Seventh Day on the two short videos that were broadcast on Facebook Live. The videos are posted on Facebook, but you do not have to be a Facebook member or sign in to Facebook to view them.
