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.

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

What is The Image of God?

The first clue the ancient text provides about this mysterious image is found in two words of Genesis 1:2 – “ RUACH ELOHIYM .” RUACH is defined as breath, wind or spirit; ELOHIYM is the word translated God . 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. Water creatures live in the Seas. 3. Winged creatures fly beneath the Heavens. 4. Sun, moon and stars are set in the Heavens. 5. Nothing is said about the w...

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?
