We are all imperfect, so stop demanding perfect alignment of characters, habits, and manners.
As long as there is no threat to your life, health, dignity, or property — simply learn to be content.
“Do not be overly righteous — why should you destroy yourself?” (Ecclesiastes)
A practical wisdom that unites Buddha, Solomon and the Hadiths.

Is #Trump REALLY claiming that #Jesus image was intended to show him as a "doctor"? Who is he trying to kid? He's upset #Catholics, by verbally attacking Pope Leo XIV, & his #blasphemy & #idolatry risk his support from all genuine #Christians. Did he ever have ANY support from genuine Christians, as HE isn't #Christian, #MAGA #Republicanism isn't, & "white Christian #nationalism" isn't?

I give you a new commandment: love one another; you must love one another just as I have loved you. It is by your love for one another, that everyone will recognise you as my disciples.
[Ἐντολὴν καινὴν δίδωμι ὑμῖν ἵνα ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους καθὼς ἠγάπησα ὑμᾶς ἵνα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀγαπᾶτε ἀλλήλους. ἐν τούτῳ γνώσονται πάντες ὅτι ἐμοὶ μαθηταί ἐστε ἐὰν ἀγάπην ἔχητε ἐν ἀλλήλοις.]The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture

It is remarkable, that notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer

Spirituality & Religious Studies @spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com@spiritualityreligiousstudies.wordpress.com ·Samaritanism
Samaritanism is an Abrahamic monotheistic, ethnic religion. It comprises the collective spiritual, cultural, & legal traditions of the Samaritan people.
Often preferring to be called Israelite Samaritans, who originated from the Hebrews & Israelites. They began to emerge as a relatively distinct group after the Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Neo-Assyrian Empire during the Iron Age. The Neo-Assyrian Empire was the 4th, & penultimate, stage of ancient Assyrian history.
Central to their continuity as an Indigenous Heritage in the Holy Land is keeping the Patriarchal & Mosaic covenant as specified in the Samaritan Torah. Samaritans believe this is the original & unchanged version of the Pentateuch (which is the first 5 books of the Hebrew & Christian bible) since Moses & the Israelites at Mount Sinai.
The Abisha Scroll is traditionally held by the community to be the oldest existing scroll written by Abisha, son of Aaron the priest, around 3,000 years ago based on living tradition. However, Jewish & Christian theologians have made attempts to dispute this claim which proved unsatisfactory.
Judaism claims Samaritanism developed right alongside their own religion. Samaritanism asserts itself as the true preserved form of the monotheistic faith that the Israelites kept under Moses. Samaritan belief also holds that the Israelites’ original holy site was Mount Gerizim, near Nablus, the State of Palestine (West Bank).
They also believe that Jerusalem only attained importance under Israelite dissenters who had followed Eli (In the Book of Samuel, Eli was a priest & judge of the Israelites in the city of Shiloh) to the city of Shiloh.
The Israelites who remained at Mount Gerizim would become the Samaritans in the Kingdom of Judah. Mount Gerizim is revered by Samaritans as the location where the Binding of Isaac occurred. In comparison to the Jewish belief that it occurred at Jerusalem’s Temple Mount.
Today there are only about 900 registered communal members. This puts Samaritanism as 1 of the smallest ethnoreligious groups globally in the Abrahamic faiths. Samaritans believe that this is a prophecy fulfilled from the scriptures: “You’ll be left few in number.”
Though they hope for a future time when a prophet like Moses known as the “Taheb” (Restorer) will perform 3 signs, namely the jar of manna, the staff of Moses, & Cherubim, or the Golden Candlestick.
This time period they believe is when an era of Divine Favor would return, & the hidden tabernacle of Moses would miraculously be revealed for the Israelite people & Mount Gerizim is restored to its former glory.
Samaritans trace their history, as a separate entity, to a period soon after the Israelites’ arrival into the “Promised Land.” Samaritan historiography traces the schism to High Priest Eli leaving Mount Gerizim, where stood the 1st Israelite altar in Canaan, & building a competing altar in nearby Shiloh.
The dissenting group of Israelites who followed Eli to Shiloh would be the ones who, in later years, would head south to settle in Jerusalem (the Jews). Whereas the Israelites who stayed on Mount Gerizim, in Samaria, would become known as the Samaritans.
Genetic studies in 2004 suggest that Samaritans’ lineages trace back to a common ancestor with Jews in the paternally-inherited Jewish high priesthood (Cohanim) temporally near to the period of the Assyrian conquest of the Kingdom of Israel. They’re probably descendants of the historical Israelite population. The Cohanim refers to the Jewish priestly class, male descendants of Aaron the priest.
The Hasmonean king, John Hyrcanus, destroyed the Mount Gerizim Temple & brought Samaria under his control around 120 BCE. This led to a long-lasting sense of mutual hostility between the Jews & Samaritans.
From this point, the Samaritans likely sought to consciously distance themselves from their Judean brethren. Both peoples came to see the Samaritan faith as a religion distinct from Judaism. By the time of Jesus, Samaritans & Jews deeply disparaged one another, as shown by Jesus’ Parable of the Good Samaritan.
The main beliefs of Samaritanism are:
- There’s 1 God, Yahweh, the same God recognized by the Jewish prophets.
- The Torah is the only true holy book & was given by God to Moses. The Torah was created before the creation of the world & whoever believes in it is assured a part in the world to come. The Torah’s status in Samaritanism as the only holy book causes them to reject the Oral Torah, the Talmud, & all the prophets & scriptures, except for a version of the Book of Joshua (which they don’t hold as Scripture), whose book in the Samaritan community is significantly different from the Book of Joshua in the Jewish “Bible.” Moses is considered to be the last of the line of prophets.
- Mount Gerizim, not Jerusalem, is the 1 true sanctuary chosen by God. The Samaritans don’t recognize the sanctity of Jerusalem & don’t recognize the Temple Mount, claiming instead that Mount Gerizim was the place where the Binding of Isaac took place.
- The Apocalypse, called “the day of vengeance,” will be the end of days. When an entity called the Taheb (basically the Jewish Messiah equal) that comes from the tribe of Joseph will come, be a prophet like Moses for 40 years & bring about the return of all the Israelites, following which the dead will be resurrected. The Tahib will then discover the tent of Moses’ Tabernacle on Mount Gerizim, & will be buried next to Joseph when he dies.
The Samaritans have retained the institution of a high priesthood & the practice of slaughtering & eating lambs on Passover Eve. They celebrated Pesach, Shavuot, & Sukkot. But they use a different method from that used in mainstream Judaism in order to determine the dates annually.
For example, Yom Teru’ah (the biblical name for Rosh Hashanah), at the beginning of Tishrei (This is the 1st month of the civil year & the 7th month of the ecclesiastical year in the Hebrew calendar.), isn’t considered a New Year as it is in Rabbinic Judaism.
Their Sabbath is observed weekly by the Samaritan community every week from Friday to Saturday, beginning & ending at sundown. For 24 hours, the families gather together to celebrate the rest day: all electricity with the exception of minimal lighting (kept on the entire day) in the house is disconnected, no work is done, & neither cooking nor driving is allowed.
The time is devoted to worship which consists of 7 prayer services, reading the weekly Torah portion, spending quality time with family, taking meals, rest & sleep, & visiting other members of the community.
Passover is particularly important in the Samaritan community, climaxing with the sacrifice of up to 40 sheep.
The Counting of the Omar remains relatively unchanged. The Counting of the Omar is a ritual in Judaism that consists of a verbal counting of each of the 49 days between the holidays of Passover & Shavuot. However, the week before Shavuot is a unique festival celebrating the continued commitment Samaritanism has maintained since the time of Moses.
During Sukkot, the Sukkah (the temporary hut built for use during Sukkot) is built INSIDE of houses, instead of OUTSIDE like mainstream Judaism. This Samaritan tradition is traced back to the persecution of the Samaritans during the Byzantine Empire.
The roof of the Samaritan Sukkah is decorated with citrus fruits & branches of palm, myrtle, & willow trees. This is in accordance with the Samaritan interpretation of the 4 species designated in the Torah for the holiday. The 4 species are 4 plants (the etrog, lulav, hadass, & aravah) mentioned in the Torah as being relevant to the Jewish holiday of Sukkot.

The #Gospel reading for 14 October 2025 is Matthew 10:16-23. The parable of the sheep among wolves is familiar to most #Christians as inspiration for both perseverance & spreading the Good News of #Jesus our great Redeemer. I’ve heard this passage cited as proof that unpopular people (or people who espouse viewpoints that others disagree with) are on God’s side & doing the work/will of the Divine. Perhaps they are. At least, they may be right up to the point where they meet violence, persecution, anger, & hate in kind.
Once they, or we, start hating & hurting others, we can all be pretty sure we are no longer doing God’s work. Nowhere in this verse are we told to meet violence, be it verbal, legal, or physical, with violence. Quite the opposite, in fact. We are told not to worry about what we should say (v. 19) & “if they persecute you in one village, leave there & go to the next.” (v. 23) #DPB #Green #Episcopal #MorningPrayer #Peace

Why Does #Paul Use So Many #Sports Metaphors?
#Jesus #Christianity #BibleStudy
Why does the #ApostlePaul talk so much about running races, boxing, and winning wreaths? In this episode, we explore Paul’s love of #athletic imagery—known as the #Agonmotif—and why it resonated so strongly in the #ancientworld. We’ll even see how early #Christians picked up on this theme—like the famous commemorative spoon that depicts Paul himself as an athlete

So many of my students come to Hebrew not just with a love of language—but with a deep desire to connect more personally with the Bible, the land of Israel, and their faith.
I received a moving video from one such student who shared how she found “Hebrew by Inbal” on her journey to read, write, and speak Hebrew - excited to deepen her spiritual walk in ways she never expected.
Her story is beautiful, and it reflects the heart of so many who come to Hebrew with faith as their guide. Watch, be inspired, and if this speaks to you—know you’re not alone on this path. 💙✡️📖

In #reformed and #evangelical circles we really lack an important element in #faith #formation - the ability to look to those #Christians who have gone before us and offer a particularly faithful exhibition of conformity to #Christ.
I’ve been attempting to fix this by introducing the congregation I serve to some of our great brethren from the past.

My youngest, who died of non-#COVID natural causes, was a #Satanist. He didn't sacrifice animals or anything. He just thought that #god was acting like some modern-day #Christians who ask, "What would #Jesus do?" #WWJD and then, when someone does it, is all. "Not Like That!" God gives everyone #FreeWill, and when #LucIfer dares to actually /use/ it...
My view on the topic of #god and #religion:
The existence of #evil demonstrates that the omni-omni god(s) cannot exist.
I love how philosophers describe it as, "The Problem of evil." I mean, yes, evil is a problem, but not for the reasons they say it is.
The existence of god(s) is metaphorical. In coding, god(s) would be the #else condition. Anything that is not known, understood, and explainable by a person, or people as a whole, can be explained by postulating god(s). Because people want to know #Why. And asking why starts as soon as a child can communicate.
It's like how the #Greeks had to answer why #planets appear to sometimes move beckwards. They didn't know (and couldn't know) the real reason for retrograde motion because they were absolutely certain that the planets orbited around Earth. They invented epicycles, little circles planets made that caused them to appear to be going backwards. God(s) get invented the same way.
Which is why there is often #religious tension around #science. Because science is a #system for figuring things out, it sometimes figures out that previous answers for Why questions turn out to be wrong. This why Galileo was tortured. He publicly stated that the Greeks were wrong about retrograde motion.
#Religion happens when a person/group leverages collective #ignorance for personal/group gain.
