Maimonides, Meyers, and Greg Hartman

 Pam Hartman (for Greg) I've been doing some work with Maimonides' 613 'laws', written over 1000 years ago bya Jew under the governing of Islam. This was his distallation of the 'Old Testament'. Greg's 'New Testament Imperativity' is the same kind of thing. I am working with Pastor Jeff Meyers formulation for Psalms. It is this: 1--What did it mean then, individually, 2--Then, corporately? 3--How was it fulfilled in/by Jesus?, 2b--What does it mean for us, now. corporately, 2a--What does it mean for us now, individually. 2 Timothy 3:16. The same, of course, is similar to what Greg does with 'NTI". Thanks, Greg!

#100 Maimonides

 OK, let's take #100--Ex. 29:33 — A non-Kohen must not eat sacrificial meat ('Kohen' is priest) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/613_commandments Then individually, priest and layment were different. Corporately too. Now Chris is our food (and sacrifice), so corporately we celebrate (are quickened--'cele') by communion/Bread and Wine/Body and Blood, and this redounds to the benefit of believers, and detriment of those who eat and driknk unworthily.

Genesis first word proto-liturgy

 Odd that if you take the words of each letter of BR S-H T, they form a proto-liturgy.

I don't know what to make of it, but Dr. Leithart in 'Creator' make something of the 26 (gematria) of YHWH and the proto-YHWH's being 26!
B=house (imperative, 'be' the house, come into the house...)
R=head (lots of listening, speaking, etc.)S-H=(fang) eat (communion)
T=cross (carry yours out?)
FWIW

Personhood Day

 Personhood Day

Two things could help reduce abortions.

#1 is Personhood Day. Celebrate it 9 months before birthday. Mine in July 4, @9 months befor April 5.

(My parents were married on July 4, 7 years earlier). It's conveivable (pun intended).

#2 is Eschatological Evangelism. What 'the state" or anyone else says of does, that makes no diffefence.

In the end (eschaton) you will be judged. That's the good news--you won't only be thrown on the ash heap, you will have the dignity of being judeged individually. Fear the Judge, and His laws. (Note: Counting abortions, the average life span in America, is it 38?)

Love in King Jesus,

Noun to verb--uncivilized? Two

 Noun to verb--is it uncivilized?

In Paul Johnson's 'History of the American People' he credits Mencken as sauing that it was the greatest single characteristic of the American idiom.

OK, le's take the word 'hog' and change is to a verb. Well, it's the same. To eat like a hog is to hog.

Adverb--hoggishly. Adjective--hoggish.

Others are tougher. From wikipedia for parts of speech: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, interjection, numeral, article, and determiner

Determiner, also called determinative (abbreviated det), is a term used in some models of grammatical description to describe a word or affix belonging to a class of noun modifiers. A determiner combines with a noun to express its reference.[1][2] Examples in English include articles (the and a), demonstratives (this, that), possessives (my, their), and quantifiers (many, both). Not all languages have determiners, and not all systems of grammatical description recognize them as a distinct category.

OK, users of thw word, teachers thereof, worshipers of thw Word made flesh...

pronoun
preposition (luther said 'the theology is in the prepositions'
conjunction
interjection
numeral
article
determiner

Then we can go to ideographic languages such as Chinese and Japanese.

There is much to do!

Nouns into verbs--uncivilized?

 Paul Johnson make this point on page 701 of his 'History of the American People,' and then continues to talk about the piano and black music changes, as a kind of mockery and 'ragging'

This reminds me that I should investigate pin yin and ideographs and hieroglyphics and other parts of speech ind inventing more parts of speech and ERH as sprachdenker (speech thinker)  and music and mathematics as languages (What do the Chiese use for collecting those rocks from the moon's far side?) and the 500 words of any language (Heinlein's 'Golf') and vocative (naming) is 1'2 imperative (Do!) etc. And whale language!

Science fiction imagination.

Wars we don't even know we are in

 Wars--what ones are we in that we don't even know about?

Not just post-Westphalia state vs. state military wars.
