  1. Tyndale—executed for translating the Bible—states God’s accounting criteria plainly. At judgment: did you feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty? Not: did you build abbeys or fund priests? The institutional religion of his day had inverted the priorities. One notes the inversion remains available in certain quarters.

  6. And then right after paying attention, the #Commandments say don't kill. Back to that your life is your #right and nobody has a right to take it from you for everybody else. #MissKitty believes these two things immeasurably. Thou shalt not kill. As thyself. #MATTHEW22:39 #Infinity must be undivided.

  7. For those that do believe, you feel it the way I say it; for those that don't I know you feel the #right to your life. In the #Commandments, God spends the first half saying just pay attention. For believers you have your target. For non-believers pick your highest principle and serve it! Simple.

    “This year, the #Jewish holiday of #Shavuot starts on 21 May. It commemorates the giving of the #TenCommandments at #MountSinai. The #revelation occurs in the desert at the foot of a mountain, far from civilisation, just as #Moses encountered the divine in the wilderness at the burning bush (#Exodus 3:1-22).

    Why did the revelation not take place in Egypt, in a palace or in a temple? Why the wilderness?

    Shavuot tries to preserve that original encounter. #Jews stay up all night studying, as if preparing again to receive the #Commandments. They are read with the congregation standing, and their language is unmistakably personal: You shall not murder. You shall not steal. You shall not lie. The words are addressed to individuals before institutions."

  17. A quotation from The Bible

    Lord, who may enter your Temple?
       Who may worship on Zion, your sacred hill?
    Those who obey God in everything
       and always do what is right,
    whose words are true and sincere,
       and who do not slander others.
    They do no wrong to their friends
       nor spread rumors about their neighbors.
    They despise those whom God rejects,
       but honor those who obey the Lord.
    They always do what they promise,
       no matter how much it may cost.
    They make loans without charging interest
       and cannot be bribed to testify against the innocent.
    Whoever does these things will always be secure.

  26. A quotation from The Bible

    Be under obligation to no one — the only obligation you have is to love one another. Whoever does this has obeyed the Law. The commandments, “Do not commit adultery; do not commit murder; do not steal; do not desire what belongs to someone else” — all these, and any others besides, are summed up in the one command, “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” If you love others, you will never do them wrong; to love, then, is to obey the whole Law.
     
    [Μηδενὶ μηδὲν ὀφείλετε εἰ μὴ τὸ ἀλλήλους ἀγαπᾶν· ὁ γὰρ ἀγαπῶν τὸν ἕτερον νόμον πεπλήρωκεν. τὸ γὰρ ” Οὐ μοιχεύσεις, Οὐ φονεύσεις, Οὐ κλέψεις, Οὐκ ἐπιθυμήσεις”, καὶ εἴ τις ἑτέρα ἐντολή, ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τούτῳ ἀνακεφαλαιοῦται [ἐν τῷ] ” Ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου ὡς σεαυτόν.” ἡ ἀγάπη τῷ πλησίον κακὸν οὐκ ἐργάζεται· πλήρωμα οὖν νόμου ἡ ἀγάπη.]

    Often language has similar words or similar sounding words that people speak with incorrectly without really knowing or realizing it's misleading or not quite right.

    There is a more specific words and less misleading versions of #words or #phrases...

    ➡️ For example "Common sense"
    ...might mean "Common principles"

    "Sense" is similar to "principles" but importantly principles can be more specific or measured way of saying / doing things so a list everyone can see is more agreeable, rather than your own version of "sense" which might be differently measured than list of "principles".

    Since EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and naturally they have different personality, it's better to measure it a bit more clearly which a list of principles in the middle which can help indicate agreement or debate things with less #ambiguity.

    ➡️ Another example
    (quick-fast / maybe not perfect)

    💜 Love for others is perhaps top of the #list of #commandments for Jesus ✝️ and his principles - so clears up a lot of confusion between #Christian people or #Christianity or #Religion #debate - presenting a |Yes| or |No| simple question

    We all need need to debate what loving people or looking after them means perhaps after that, but can assume better and not guess too not far off than even more general / unspecific words.

    So if #love is top 5 on your list then a debate "Common sense" or "Common principles" about Jesus or something can be quickly agreed / answered rather than something #ambiguous.

    #Lists are always good.

    Dybbuk

    Also spelled dibbuk, meaning “to cling,” “to cling,” or “adhere.” This entity is a malicious, restless spirit of a dead person/spirit that “clings” to or possesses the body of a living person or is the dislocated soul of a dead person.

    This isn’t a good-natured ancestral ghost. But an earthbound soul that’s been denied peace & seeks refuge (or revenge) within a human host. It supposedly leaves the host body once it has accomplished its goal. Sometimes after being exorcised.

    The idea of the dybbuk has roots in Jewish mystical traditions. Specifically the Kabbalah, which gained prominence in the 16th to 18th centuries in Central & Eastern Europe. Earlier accounts of possession, like those given by Josephus, were of demonic possession rather than that of ghosts.

    Traditionally, dybbuks tended to be male spirits. Because women couldn’t become dybbuk, they didn’t participate in gilgul. In Hebrew, gilgul means “cycle” or “wheel.” In Kabbalistic esoteric system, gilgul is a concept of reincarnation or transmigration of souls.

    Sometimes these spirits were said to possess women on the eve of their weddings. Typically, in a sexual fashion by entering the women through their vaginas. Men & boys could be possessed as well.

    In traditional Jewish communities, the idea of the dybbuk served as a socially accepted way of expressing unacceptable urges. Including sexual ones.

    Within Jewish mysticism & folklore (particularly in Kabbalistic traditions) protective practices were also used to ward off malevolent spirits. One such practice involves attaching a mezuzah to the doorposts of a home. A mezuzah is a piece of parchment/paper written with a specific Torah verse.

    While the mezuzah mainly serves as a reminder of faith & adherence to God’s commandments. It’s also viewed as a protective amulet against harmful spirits, including the dybbuks.

    The Zohar, a foundational Kabbalah text, suggests that a properly affixed mezuzah can prevent such entities from entering a home. Also, Jewish folklore includes accounts where neglected or improperly maintained mezuzah were believed to make homes open to dybbuk possession.

    In Lurianic Kabbalistic view (a major school of Jewish mysticism), it’s believed that every soul undergoes a process called gilgul (reincarnation) until it has made good all its spiritual flaws & completed its divine mission (tikkun).

    A dybbuk is usually the soul of a great sinner. Someone who failed so utterly in life that their soul is deemed unfit for reincarnation or even for the stillness of the afterlife.

    Because the soul can’t find rest or transition into a new body, it’s condemned to wander the world, a spiritual refugee. this limbo state between death & full divine judgment is sometimes referred to as the Barzakh in certain mystical texts. The dybbuk, being trapped & tormented, lashes out by invading a living host.

    The possession is an act of desperation or malice. Once a dybbuk possesses a person (usually a woman, but not always), the host’s voice may change, becoming that for a dead person. Sometimes they speak in an unfamiliar language (it’s unfamiliar to the speaker/possessed person), or they recite profound, sacred texts they’ve known or seen.

    The dybbuk speaks through the host. Often they reveal the sins that condemned it to wander or it accuses the host’s family of a concealed transgression. The host often suffers intense physical & mental anguish.

    Because the dybbuk is a spiritual entity with a soul, its removal is an intensely religious act, an exorcism, that requires the intervention of a learned & righteous rabbi. Usually a rabbi is versed in Kabbalistic practices. The ceremony is solemn & ritualistic.

    The rabbi, with a quorum of 10 men (minyan) & often holding a shofar (a ram’s horn), tries to reason with the dybbuk, at first, urging the distressed soul to leave in peace to leave in peace & accept its divine judgment.

    If the dybbuk resists, the rabbi must use the power of sacred names & oaths. The rabbi may threaten the spirit with complete banishment from the Jewish people (a harsher spiritual punishment than eternal wandering).

    The essential moment is when the rabbi calls upon the Divine Name to compel the dybbuk to exit the body. Often through the host’s small toe or finger so as to not cause the host any permanent harm.

    As the dybbuk leaves, the shofar is usually sounded to break the spirit’s hold & symbolizes the final severance. The exit is then sealed with a prayer.

    The Possession (2012) is a supernatural horror centered around the idea of a dybbuk. The story follows a young girl who becomes possessed by an evil spirit after finding an old box at a yard sale. Jeffrey Dean Morgan & Kyra Sedgwick star in this movie.
