Just a thought........ Did Jesus discriminate? Or did he pass on his message to all sorts of people and then let them decide for themselves?

In dealing with Paleo Hebrew as a language, it is thought that the language was picto-graphic. IOW, each character in the Paleo Hebrew alphabet represented a picture of something. That picture might represent a fence. It might be of a house, etc. From that perspective, the meaning of a Paleo Hebrew word could be determined by understanding the series of the pictures that were formed by the individual letters. To illustrate, if the three characters were of a man, a fence and jumping into the air, the meaning of the word could be assumed to say that a (the) man jumped over the (a) fence. If I understand Stinsonmarri correctly, this is the method that is used to tell us the meanings of specific words. My understanding concludes that this has some level of subjectivity.

Stinsonmarri has often used the term "Paleo Hebrew." That term may be used to connotate an alphabetic script or a language. If I understand Stinsonmarri correctly, she typically uses that term to reference a language. The term "Paleo Hebrew" is often used to to reference an alphabetic script. From that perspective, Paleo Hebrew is the alphabetic script used by the Jewish people prior to the Babylonian captivity. IOW, it is a very ancient script. Following the Babylonian captivity the Jewish people began to write in what is called the Aramaic Square Script. That is the script generally used by the Hebrew scribes as they copied the MSS following the Babylonian captivity. NOTE: Paleo Hebrew is thought to be derived from the older Proto-Sinaitic script. The alphabetic script used today in called Modern Hebrew. For more information see: The Paleo-Hebrew Alphabet | AHRC (ancient-hebrew.org)

? call on the name ? Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

I would not expect you would as you are not a gay man.

Unfortunately, this virus has some effects that go beyond just the initial week or so of a cold like illness when you have only a lite case of it. Of course, many have a much more severe case. But even the ones who have almost no symptoms can have respiratory damage and the virus is now know for its cardiomyopathy (or a weakening of the heart via an inflammatory response). A number of people have died of covid without ever showing symptoms of the viral illness due to unrecognized effects of the virus. So, given how many have already been vaccinated with apparently so far few serious side effects, I would not recommend waiting for a year or two especially if high risk. I now would take the vaccine whenever it is available even though I have already had covid (per recommendation of my inf dz doctor). Unfortunately, some will refuse the vaccine, such as my wife, but then that is their right. If you do get covid, it is now recommended that you take it easy for at least two weeks after last symptoms. This especially is in regards to going back to the gym. This is not for social isolation, but to allow the inflammatory activity to subside in your body. And if you lift weights, cut the amount you are lift by one half and take several weeks to get back to what you were lifting before you got sick. I wish I had known this before I went back to the gym!

I would propose that he suggested that indeed. But the decision in the end was theirs. I think he was secure enough with his message that even if they chose otherwise he still showed them love and did not send them away. Sort of lead by example. If these schools are really serious about getting their message out, about teaching young people a way to live their lives, then making them feel like they don't belong, like they are to be cast away for what they are, for how they biologically feel inclined, is certainly not going to do a lot to bring them closer to the message of Christianity. That's the moral and spiritual side of it. On a more social side of it, the so called "free world" has been fighting for decade after decade to put an end to discrimination. I don't think any institution or group should be exempt from that fight.
