Seeing What Is Beautiful and Pleasing to the Creator!

 

The scribes of Jerusalem were taken as captives to Babylon, but they became part of the most complex networks of temples, gods, and scribes, as well as part of one of the most powerful empires in the history of humankind. The scribes from Jerusalem brought their divine mysterious scribal arts with them and sent the Wisdom of their Elohim back to the new Temple in Jerusalem.

What am I?

What am I? Now that’s a question a lot of people have asked in the history of humans. We ( Rabbi Jeffrey Leynor and former pastor Jim Myers ) created two models for working with that question – after wrestling with it for over 25 years . You may have noticed that use models instead of answers. Most questions about life are better understood by using models that reveal potentialities than statements of either/or answers . Our models emerged from two sources in which our research and studies focused on during our journey together – one source is an ancient wisdom account embedded in our shared religious texts and the other source is modern science . This makes our approach at the TOV Center unique in many respects – we combine the wisdom of ancient texts with the facts of modern science to maximize human experiences . As pointed out above, we created a model from each source to help us better understand humans: (1) Ancient Wisdom Model – Humans are creatures that share t...

Who Created “Good” and “Evil”?

How important is it for people to understand what “ good ” and “ evil ” mean? For those of us with Christian Biblical Heritages, evil is a very important word . In the King James Version of the Bible the word “ evil ” appears 613 times . “ Good ” appears 720 times . I found this very interesting, because I heard a lot more about evil than I did about good in the church my family attended when I was growing up. That really stood out at the end of every church service when “ the invitation ” was given. It was an opportunity for “ lost ” people to be “ saved .” Why were they lost and why did they need to be saved? Continue reading at -- https://mailchi.mp/a38b5c20c334/who-created-good-and-evil

Two Standards to Live By

In our last blog, What am I? , we discussed our answer to that question: (1) Humans are creatures that share things in common with animals and the Creator. They have the potential of acting like deadly predatory wild animals or acting like a mysterious entity that judges its actions by the TOV Standard. (2) Humans are genetic memetic social creatures . The first answer came from ancient wisdom text and the second from modern science . Ancient wisdom records time-tested observations about nature, human nature and human behaviors in its stories . Modern science reveals objective facts and creates models for testing “truth claims.” Scientists tell us what we are biologically, but they don’t tell us how to interact with each other. Religion often provides tremendous insights about how people should or should not treat each other, but not about what they are physically. One of the amazing benefits of combining ancient wisdom and scientific facts in our research is that ...
