1 | Is reverence feasible? Always? | Eph 5:33 | Rabbi Mark | 66113 | ||
Emmaus: You put a great deal of research into this. But none of these verses come close to saying what mommapbs suggested. Mary praising God for recognizing her low estate doesn't come close to mommapbs becoming one with god's heartbeat. And Song of Solomon 1:2-4 is a description of God's relationship with Israel and Israel's relationship with God. Not our individual relationship. So that doesn't qualify mommapbs assumptions either. Again, Revelation 22:17 talks not of personal relationships but of how God see's the New City of Jerusalem. As a bride who awaits her husband. Not as mommapbs attempting to become one with God's heartbeat. And the memorial where Mary washes Jesus feet in Luke 7:36-50 shows how much Mary loved and served Jesus. We all should do this and follow her example. But she wasn't trying to become one with his heartbeat. Sorry, but when I read mommapbs wanting to become one with God's heart beat and intimacy (not love, service and self sacrifice) ... I saw how mommapbs words ring more toward the concept of nervana or buddhism when those worshipers feel they are becoming one with God and actually become God. I appreciate your attempt, but of a truth mommapbs words cannot be reconciled with scripture through the best efforts ... as you have just proven. Now, take a closer look at mommapbs words and tell me what you think she is trying to say. Rabbi Mark |

Rabbi Mark; At the risk of "piling on" here, I have to join Hank in his reproof. Respect on this forum is earned, not by suddenly jumping in and instructing us, but by establishing a reputation for thoughtful and worthwhile comments. Arrogance and condescension establish a different sort of reputation, one you are well on your way toward creating. Emmaus and Mommapbs, though I sometimes disagree with them, have shown themselves to be both worthy of attention and respectful of other members. You would do well to suspend your New Age heresy hunting and try to understand why they have been around a while and are defended by other members. And please don't compliment my on my maturity. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
