Thus, the '42s' of '1000' must be improved.

What commands in the future. What unfulfilled from the past?

Learning from Mennonites...

 Learning from Mennonites, Lutherans, ERH, Baptist brother, 40 Days: Imperatives

 

I started reading 'Oxford History of 
Christian Worship' at Mennonites.

 

Keyly, they have/had a 3-sided seating plan, so that the would be more 'one another' than listening to 'sage on stage'.

They also did a lot of 1 Cor. 14.

 

Lutherans light a candle at start, extinguish at end. Evening and morning = Day, and light has come.

 

ERH ('Origin of 
Speech')  talks of time cup. We lose the strength of the imperative when we go to an analytic mode before the imperative cup is filled.

 

My brother has written 'New Testament Imperativity' which list all the commands of the New Testament.

 

Are the 40 Days between Resurrection and Ascension (and see Ephesians 2:6) a further prophetic speech/action, and proleptic to Pentecost? Thus, the Word is bread (Man shall not live by bread alone, but...) as alpha food, and the fish/Gentiles?/nations?/ichthys omega food? Thus, add to the Passover bread/body and wine/blood, another layer? Give fish as leave service?

 

I think so.

PS: And DO Psalm 146 (JBJ, 150 in present Bibles) don't only sing about praising with timbrel (tambourine) and dance, etc.

Synesthesia

 Synestheria

It’s in our future.

Taste and see that the Lord is good—that’s a hint, a brush, a glimpse, a whisper.

Smell the future: Rosenstock.

There is no frigate like a book, to take us worlds away: Dickinson.

Hear, see, taste, touch, smell—each and all, each and all.

Hear smells, touch seeing, etc.

Fictional Amos Decker: blue is death, attacked by yellow threes.

Tongues of fire so that each hears in his own tongue.

A Scythian smells different than a Parthian, so they are different/two yet one in Christ.

Both three And One, God and Man.

One is acted on, Me. I act. We are one, but They and each/all planetary service.

Time Cup (ERH), betrayed by too soon analytics, death.

The New Heaves and New Earth, we’ll by synesthetes, remembering/forgetting.

Touch the sky (High Flight).

Mrs. Hartman posted a farmer cutting hay, with children, and the caption that we smell and remember.

Farrell: Scientist are stuck in past, present, future, but our natural language grammar include pluperfect subjunctive.

Greek: 256, Hebrew: Preterite.

Philip K. Dick

 In 'I Hope I Shall Arrive Soon', first essay he has a neat chiasm. He starts with Disneyland/simulacra, and ends with no to Disneyland/sumulacra and real birds singing.

 

In the meantime, he says he has been motivated by 2 questions: What is reality? What constitutes the authentic human being?

 

He answers both, the second very surprisingly! (Note: In Gilder's 'Life After Capitalism' (he means the 'old' capitalit]sm) he says that information is surprise. He also has surprising info on dreams and coincidences.

 

Take a look at some of the fantastic resources out there, available on websites like Internet Archive, Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, Open Library, and the Directory of Open Access Books.

Baptise a million

 Read about silos vs. extraction evangelism in 'Contagious Disciple Making'. Baptised a million in a few short years. Do it?!

Questions Future Warren

 I posted something about singing on Facebook

GodTrinity is making new kinds of people. In Heaven we'll meet many who only lived a few decades. I've been married longer than my Dad lived.

BUT, here's a key question. Luther asked 'How can a just God save a sinner such as I am?' Many today sak, 'How can an all-powerfu, all-good God send anyone to Hell and the Lake of Fire, to be eternally tortured?'

There are answers, and our descendants will have even more difficult questions to answer.

Love in King Jesus,

Chuck

Psalm Chant BH Duane

 Suppose that you want to chant well? Some thoughts.

 

1--Teach 'em Hebrew. It's a multi-generational deal. I'm so old I studied Latin in public high school. Sobran has a nice nike quote on that. And high school graduates taught in country schools when Iowa had the highest literacy rate in the hation.

2--If Psalms is an example of Ancient, and Bach is B, then when we know how we got from A to B, we have some hope of getting to C, D, etc. I talked with a guy who will help us get toward C this holiday.

c--If the Psalm tells us to do something, DO IT!--Don't only sing about it. Psalm 150 is a good example. I bought a timbrel (tambourine) and created a dance (recapping creation/tabernacle in 8 steps). You could have one person shake a timbrel, when it says to.

2a--As North and Jordan tell us, the requirement to go to Jerusalem 3x a year, drove (when they complied) Israel to the city. We Israel may be driven to the next stage when we obey.

3--Use JBJ's translations. He used lines, avoiding the problems of lack of space.

4--Try some Hebrew Cadence when you want to know the music of A. Gregory helped with the up-down at the end, which might be Incarnational or Ascensional. Might.

5--is the New Jerusalem (RC) Bible a better translator of Psalm 25? They used English words to make an abecedary, but those weren't the exact words from Hebrew. but they had the form.

 

What do I know? Chuck
