Oy Searchers, need help? – January 2017

[This post is intended to help web-visitors find articles that address their search entry terms/phrases.

 If we do not have a post on the exact topic, we refer the searcher to one of  the sites on our links.  The first recourse is of course the SITEMAP, click the upper-right most box above the scroll; and 2nd recourse is the UPDATED SITE CONTENTS.  

We have resorted to extra aids such as this because of many difficulties our web-searchers have encountered in navigating our website. —Admin1]

01/23/17 – “JOHN DOE“ – Click the search term, but better yet,  scroll down this post and read the 01/18/17 entry.

01/22/17 – “quotes about god and finding love” – Hmmm, not sure how to direct this searcher. We have over 800 posts about finding God, knowing God, loving God . . . please go to SITEMAP, the rightmost box above the scroll.

01/18/17 – “john doe” —What is this searcher looking for?  Apparently he/she had read a post that talked about the general designation in US of an anonymous individual and comparing that with the designation used for Deity, simply “God”.  Here’s the post and other related articles in the series IN HIS NAME: JOHN DOE

01/18/17 – “glittering Shabbat shalom” – Surprisingly, many of our search terms are about images we have used specifically in our category A SINAITE’s SABBATH LITURGY.  Indeed, we spend much time and care in choosing the best image that reflects the text, whether in our liturgy or regular post.  Here’s the specific image for this searcher:

01/07/17 –  Q:  How does sinai 6000 view lucifers introduction in the old testament? Isaiah I think it is, I could be wrong. Is this not to be taken literally and if so, what is the relevance? Kindly direct me to your understanding of this if already written and posted in the site or just respond directly. —[L3]

A.  “lucifer” – This Latin word, mistaken for the name of the ‘Christian devil’ actually means “bright morning star”.  It is used in Isaiah 14:12-15 to refer to the king of Babylonia, and in the New Testament book of Revelation, strangely,  to Jesus Christ.  How can that be?

Here’s a post that explains the mis-application of  ‘lucifer’ when taken out of context:

• Isaiah 14:12-15 is not about the Devil

01/02/17  “joshua 1:8-9” – 

• Scroll: Joshua 1:8-9

[A timely new year reminder for all, not only for the searcher:  The scroll hangs on the foyer entry to the Sanctuary of the University of the Cordilleras, Baguio City, Philippines/APRIL 28, 2012 ]
