    Don't political speech writers write fantasies for other people. Oh yeah. Never mind.

    Really? Damn! I might be able to read it? I was planning a trip to Israel and was learning modern Hebrew, but life intervened and I never made it there.

    I find those who think so mean spirited and offensive. Mostly all belong to some family named 'Some.' Not to worry they can't spell and are given to acronyms. It will come out P.O.'d

    The rabbis only translated TORAH (the books of Moses) into Greek. Others translated the rest of Tanakh into Greek; the Rabbis had nothing to do with that.

    Hahahahahahahahah...you might be right, I'd be facing a fight from the left and the right. Thank goodness I am not stuck in their meme or level of awareness and many if not all of us here are not stuck their either.

    And that's a Good thing.

    No way I'm debating that one. Those Prez candidates should be on their knees thanking --- you were not on the panel.

    Thank you! I never knew that Joseph Smith's Gold Tablets were inscribed somewhere in the -400's !

    I thought the story was he got his Very Own Copy, but lost them!

    Tough break, Joe...

    That was a subtle use of the language. At that point you are no longer 'of this world.' That was worth a thumbs up!

    Not so fast. A Course In Miracles was dictated to Helen Schucman by Jesus.
    "There is no doubt that the Course material claims to be dictated by Jesus. In the Urtext, the author of the Course refers to Helen's scribing as "taking dictation" from him. In a Manual section about Jesus we are told plainly, "This course has come from him" (M-23.7:1). Elsewhere in the Course, Jesus refers to its words as "my words" (T-31.VIII.8:1) and "the words I speak" (W-pI.RV.In.9:2); in fact, he stresses that he has "made every effort to use words that are almost impossible to distort" (T-3.I.3:11). There is no hint anywhere that the Course's words came from anyone but Jesus." http://www.circleofa.org/question/did...

    no problem they are on display in the Getty Museum. Tottenpass on thin sheets or lamalle gld. But the ones Moses smashed were made of stone..Ark of the Convenant had some gold parts... but since there are, reportedly, 613 commandments not ten gold or stone would have been far to heavy for a chest made of acacia wood. As for the Getty admission is free but parking is $15.00 per day. Don't mention it.
