    According to the British Museum, "The earliest writing we know of dates back to around 3,000 BC and was probably invented by the Sumerians, living in major cities with centralised economies in what is now southern Iraq." This is definitely in the Middle East. It was likely cuneiform. 'Then he ran to the herd and selected a choice, tender calf and gave it to a servant, who hurried to prepare it. 8 He then brought some curds and milk and the calf that had been prepared, and set these before them. While they ate, he stood near them under a tree." (Gen. 18:7-8) Sounds pretty kosher to me(except arguably for maybe mixing the meat with its mother's milk).

    Oh boy! Just when you thought it couldn't get worse!

    The Conference President and I continue to have an ongoing discussion of this issue. This discussion is open and fair to both Susan and concerned people. As such it must remain confidential. I expect that at a later time I will be able to make a public statement. I personally thank the President for his willingness to talk to me. I will keep you informed as is appropriate, when it is appropriate, but not before.

    Who's fooling who?

    Thank you Joe: You know she was not even my blood, she was my cousin's wife. They had been separated and he came and live with me. My mother had a birthday and he told me she could fry fish outside. We had my mother's and my grandson's birthday outside. It was very nice! When I returned to clean up my kitchen, I was shocked, it was so clean you could eat off the floor. That begin a friendship of love until this day! I talked her into reuniting with my cousin and move in with us. She did and fell deeply in love with my mother and me. She helped me with my mother, sad to say not my siblings. My mother fell in love with her as well and we became a family. I do not know what I would have done without her! When I had to have a quadruple bypass surgery my son and his wife and Barbara were all there for me. I had that surgery without any problems at all. I had been suffering since my youth with an Endocrine disease that brings on diabetes and other female problems. For forty years I tried to get this surgery done and it was a simple operation. The doctor used a robot that almost killed me. Sweet lovely Barbara was there for me and now I am here for her. They moved around the corner (we are in the country) from me. She has a lung disease; so, please pray for her everyone! She goes to church with me from time to time and we look out for each other, even now. We shop, visit the doctors and other things together. She is my sister and my best friend, I truly love her. Please everyone do not be sad, we all go through something! But, YAHWEH keeps us and makes us strong! My story is not sad, it is a trial! Victory is to praise HIM when we are down as well as up! There are so many who are going through much more then me! I tell you my story so we all can rejoice, and I like what you said Joe! That makes me feel happy, but I want you to know, many cultures including Europeans take care of each other! We all are related and have good people in our families. We can still pray for the others that they will change! Let's us all rejoice in how good THE ALMIGHTY ONES are to keep us even through our trials! Blessings and please pray for Barbara!

    I am meek ? Matt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

    It seems that one of the many things that happened when the missionaries came was to make the people wear clothes. I read of one missionary, a woman, who came to a group who were still "nature children", was to take off her clothes and become like them. She reported having good success with bringing the gospel to them. I do not believe she was SDA!

    Trivia

    5 Things You Didn't Know About Fox News On October 7th, 1996, the Fox News Channel made its debut on cable systems across the country (except in Manhattan). The network quickly climbed the ranks to become the most-watched cable news network in America. Here are five things you didn't know about Fox News... Time Warner Originally Refused to Carry the Channel in Its New York Market. When the Fox News Channel debuted in 1996, the Time Warner cable system refused to carry the channel in its Manhattan market. Time Warner was in the process of merging with CNN, run by Ted Turner, who was also one of Rupert Murdoch's rivals, so it makes sense that the cable company wouldn't want to give major exposure to a competitor. However, Time Warner had also been given an order to carry a competitor to CNN because of antitrust regulations. The solution was to carry MSNBC, which had started up in July 1996. Given that broadcasting in Manhattan was considered a way to get noticed by national advertisers who were based in New York, that choice gave MSNBC a huge boost. Meanwhile, the snub by Time Warner led Murdoch to begin working with Rudy Giuliani to try to get more exposure in the city. Fox News Channel Was Started After Rupert Murdoch Tried to Buy CNN. The CNN/Murdoch rivalry wasn't new. In fact, the reason Murdoch started Fox News in the first place was that he had tried and failed to buy CNN. He got Roger Ailes to run the network and create programming that would appeal to a more conservative base (Murdoch had long accused CNN of being too liberal). Murdoch had already started the Fox Broadcasting Company, running over-the-air TV shows, so he was not new to starting networks. He just needed the programming and people to create a news channel. Fox News Now Charges Higher Cable License Fees, but When It Started, It Paid Cable Companies Instead. One of Murdoch's tactics was to pay cable companies to run Fox News instead of the other way around. Normally, a cable company pays a license fee to a channel, allowing that company to broadcast the channel (it essentially rents the right to provide the channel to subscribers). Instead, Murdoch paid cable companies $11 per subscriber to include Fox in their lineups. Outside of Manhattan, of course, that gave Fox major exposure -- nearly 17 million households upon debut. Now, however, the situation has turned around, with cable companies paying some of the highest license fees per subscriber to broadcast Fox News. Rupert Murdoch Once Tried to Compete With Facebook. Murdoch didn't limit his attempts to compete and surpass existing companies to just news. He also tried to take on Facebook by purchasing the older MySpace platform in 2005. Over the next six years, MySpace's user numbers dropped. Especially after 2008, Facebook proved more popular. Murdoch later admitted the purchase was a failure, and criticism about the lack of a strategy for the site abounded. MySpace was eventually sold again for $35 million -- a loss of $545 million for Murdoch. Murdoch Has Had Multiple Cameos on The Simpsons -- and Voiced Two of Them Himself. It's common to see caricatures of popular figures on The Simpsons, but it can be quite a thrill for fans when the subject of the caricature actually voices his or her own cameo. Murdoch has done that twice, although he has technically had seven cameos in different episodes. Dan Castellaneta, who voices Homer Simpson, provided Murdoch's voice for the other five cameos.

    NIV Genesis 7:2 Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, I always thought the LORD told Noah to take 7 pairs of each type "clean" animal, and only 2 pairs of each type "unclean" animal, because Noah and family would not be eating the "unclean" ones. If Noah understood what was "clean" for "food", the commands to Israel were just a refresher. So meats were Noahic "clean" not just Levirate "clean".

    You know which two texts this is based off of & prior to saying that it doesn't apply or that the Jews got it wrong I'll remind you it was Christ who said that the Scribes and Pharisees interpretation of the Law was valid up until the point all power was transferred to the Church.

    No such thing as sort of or pretty Kosher - its either Levitically compliant or it's not. In this case it was definitely NOT.

    Abraham wasn't Kosher and the angels who visited his table evidently weren't either.
