oks Ten Words Hebrews Proverbs
Books Hebrews Proverbs
Hebrews AD 30-AD 70 Festschrift for JBJ
Proverbs Timing I’ve thought the BH consensus boils down to
John Frame’s tri-perspective on this issue; particular the Situational
Perspective.
In warfare, the situation may require a lie to the
enemy. Situations, necessarily, have
ethical hierarchies or priorities.
Otherwise, would be self-destruction.
This is the whole book of Proverbs; figuring out when to speak or not,
etc.
God often puts us in situations where He wants us to figure
it out.
Regarding the Sabbath: go to church, rest, enjoy the
day. Make those your priorities.
I think this is BH consensus,

Eric pointed out
that this is much of what Proverbs is about. The translation I teach from (My
big, black leather, preaching/teaching Bible) is a NKJV, and it uses the words
"enigma" and "riddles" to describe how wisdom works
(Proverbs 1:9). Adams is I believe, correct, but he doesn't flesh it out (one
is not obligated to always flesh everything out). But this is precisely why
wisdom is such a big deal.Many things that appear to be contradictory, are in
fact only contraries (ALL X are not Y, as opposed to SOME X are not Y). But
that is presicely where the fun begins. It is the whole basis of the detective
novel, and it requires genius on the level of Sherlock Holmes or Hercule Poirot
to resolve a series of apparent contradictions, and restore coherence, and
bring the villain to justice. Wisdom is in fact a kind of detective like
enterprise. It is the source of that OHHHHHH, THAT'S HOW IT WORKS feeling. It
is WHY detective novels are so entertaining.
The world becomes
a collosal bore when all is reduced to singular answers, or monism. Life
presents us with what appear to be whole series of impossible contradictions. A
king has two prostitutes come to him, both claiming a living baby belongs to
them and a dead baby belongs to the other. DNA testing was not available that
day, the doctor being on vacation. What to do? Well, you know how Detective
Solomon solved the case, proving he was wise. Two contradictory things cannot
both be true, but resolution is not easily found. It is a riddle, an enigma, a
classic British detective case. Sherlock Holmes amazes and confounds us, and
deeply entertains us, by finding the resolution.
We know Burke is
to blame for ALL bad things (not some), but he was in Tinbuktu when X or Y bad
thing happened in St. Louis. Jeff Meyers is confounded. How??? But Ralph solves
the enigma, the riddle, and proves himself to be the Sherlock Holmes of BH.
That is wisdom
for you...

LocalCoin--Simple, Short
a—A Simple Plan To Help Locally-Owned Businesses
b—Use ‘airline miles’ for local business building
c—WIR (long-time Swiss plan), Kenya community currencies,
MiamiCoin/City Coins donsidered and rejected
d—Jeremiah Time
c’—Hopkins’ ‘Scientific Advertising’ service, Unlimited
Checkbook (FB Group) as 2 examples
b’—City Council, Chambe of Commerce, Gold Bond Stamps,
Medieval Cities?
a’—More at Hartman Marketing link (FB)
When we want to help local businesses, MTTT is very good. Media, Telephone
Directory, Tour, Text. ‘… create, sell, and support effective local advertising
solutions so our customers win more business…’
Optima, Home Pages, CloseBy, Virtual Tours.
Having a ‘buy local’ incentive ‘currency’ would complement
these AND help expand sales over a MUCH larger area, in many communities.
The basics already exist in airline miles. To adapt this,
we’d use an affinity credit or debit card that gives ’LocalCoin’ for purchases. (Another example, stamps given in 1950s for buying at a
grocery store, e. g., redeemable at a store that ONLY took those stamps.) Participating
stores could allow ‘LocalCoin’ use for all or part of purchases. Credit/debit
card companies may help.
Swiss businesses have been using WIR for decades, Kenya is
using community currencies with Bancor, MiamiCoin exists—the Mayor says they
may be able to eliminate local taxes. There are many other such, but the ‘airline miles’ analog is simpler.
This is working ‘for the good of the city,’ as Jeremiah
commanded. In the past decades I have been working on my ‘plot of land’, The
Next Thousand Years, based on the work of Jordan, and Rosenstock (Harvard,
Dartmouth, Peace Corps).
Claude Hopkins in ‘Scientific Advertising’ recommends service
selling, The ‘Unlimited Checkbook’
Facebook group emphasizes getting things without spending the money. Jay Abraham is very wise.
Berman’s ‘Law and Revolution’ mentions that charters for
medieval cities gave them authority to mint coins. Thus, City Council (my
doctor is a member of the city council). Chambers of Commerce might be another
avenue. Also, companies might initiate such a ‘LocalCoin’ plan. (Another example, stamps given in 1950s for
buying at a grocery store, e. g., redeemable at a store that ONLY took those
stamps.)
See Hartman Marketing Facebook Page for more. Also contact
Charles Howard Hartman, 1404 Broadway, Pella, IA 50219, edencity@aol.com 641-621-0184 for a good
sales representative.
PS: Lolli gives rewards in Bitcoin. This doesn’t YET help.
(1) Most local businesses don’t YET take
Bitcoin. (2) This doe NOT YET drive people to the local business community.

Jeremiah Time--Short
Jeremiah Time--Short
Many years ago, at a Biblical Horizons conference,James Jordan toldme--twice--that we werin Jeremiah Time.
I have four things.
1--Bullinger (Companion Bible) lists 51 prophecies of Jeremiah. That would make a good year's worth of studies/sermons.
2--Jeremiah bought a plot of land. Israel would return Mine is 'The Next
Thousand Years'.After ERH/Rosenstock, Nothing lasts that is not 3 generation. I have, Therefore, sent assets and duties ahead to grandchildren. This includes a pastor, 3 godparents, and 10 relatives.
Thousand Years'.After ERH/Rosenstock, Nothing lasts that is not 3 generation. I have, Therefore, sent assets and duties ahead to grandchildren. This includes a pastor, 3 godparents, and 10 relatives.
3--Jeremiah's lamentations are handled by Girardean thinking,and that 'Surely the Lord has made all things for himself, even the wicked for the day of calamity, and more.
4--Jeremiah said that the exiles should 'work for the good of the city. Pella has these attributes: a--good water and electric power via Red Rock, hydroelectricity,and buried transmission lines. b--For food, keep seed, teach gardening. c--Transportation for industries can be handled the the railroad i Oskaloosa, and maintaining 163. In my grandfather's time, the men of Stuart built a road to Dexter one Saturday morning, and the first long paved road was built by private capital in 1795. Search archives of Stuart Herald in Stuart Public Library,and 'The End is Near, and It's Going To Be Amazing. d--For local currency (see Depression Script, history of Gold Bond stam store in Perry, MiamiCoin, City Coins) a good way would be to adapt the airline miles system to 'Local Coin'.
Love in King Jesus,
Chuck

Gold Bond Stamps PellaCoin
Gold Bond Stamps PellaCoin
HOW TO MAKE MONEY ON THIS?
I'm thinking reviving the Gold Bond stamp, electronically is
one way. Each merchant credits a %, a small % to the buyer, who can then spend
the result anywhere in Breckinridge. It'd help if I'd 'won the lottery'--my
'ship had come in'--to start it going. Gold Bond stamps used to have a store in
Perry Iowa that only took 'books' of Gold Bond stamps! What say you?
