Wednesday Bible Study: What Jesus asked, Part 12

 

One thing I have learned over years of trying to listen to the weak signal of Bott Radio on FM headphones in a metal building like I work in: You have to listen through the static.  More;  God WANTS you to listen through the static.  It sharpens your focus- and if it isn't, you just may not be listening at all.  I learned this lesson anew a couple of weeks back.  And if I got static, you know Jesus did too.

Perhaps no topic in the Bible has more implications to me, with my Catholic upbringing and certain FB friends' posts, than Mary.  And the post this day could be a BIG source of that static, if I let it.  But let me tune us first razor-sharp into what Jesus was aiming at.

Mat 12:46  While Jesus was talking to the people, his mother and brothers stood outside. They wanted to talk to him.
Mat 12:47  Someone told him, "Your mother and brothers are waiting for you outside. They want to talk to you."
Mat 12:48  Jesus answered, "Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?"
Mat 12:49  Then he pointed to his followers and said, "See! These people are my mother and my brothers.
Mat 12:50  Yes, anyone who does what my Father in heaven wants is my true brother and sister and mother." 

 

It was Matthew Henry's commentary that opened me up to what was really going on here.  Backtrack:  Jesus had begun this message a while back, and it must have been one that was hitting home.  He had just left the Synagogue after winning an experiential battle with the Pharisees- healing a man on the Sabbath.  Then after healing another, they tried to put off the crowd with slander- "This man heals by Belzeebub". They tried again, interrupting Him for a "sign"- "Perform for us, if You are God!"- demanding proof when proof was already there to be seen.

Now, Henry paints the picture, Satan shifts attack from dramatic to subtle.  Among the levels to this:

- Will Jesus be drawn off-mission by His family?

- Or will He ignore His family, casting Himself in a bad light?

-While Mary believed, we are told in John 7 His brothers did not, which would change when Jesus personally went to the eldest of them, James, as we are told in 1 Corinthians 15:5.  What would they say about Him in front of the crowd?

- And on a PR standpoint, it would be easier to believe in Jesus as a supernatural Messiah for the masses if not confronted with an all-too-human family, as we see not long after our passage...

Mat 13:53  And when Jesus had finished these parables, he went away from there,
Mat 13:54  and coming to his hometown he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, "Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
Mat 13:55  Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And are not his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?
Mat 13:56  And are not all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?"
Mat 13:57  And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, "A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and in his own household."
Mat 13:58  And he did not do many mighty works there, because of their unbelief. 

 

But as was His usual, He handled this with the following traits:  He stayed on point, and used the distraction as a teachable moment.

Mat 12:50 "... Yes, anyone who does what my Father in heaven wants is my true brother and sister and mother." 

The focus is on the next life, not this one; doing the Father's will, not our own or anyone else's.  He taught THROUGH the static.  He wants us to HEAR through it, as well.  This is Satan's world, and the only way to hear God clearly is to be close to Him.

And with His message shown, let me point out one true teaching in the midst of the static.  If Mary is the ":Queen of Heaven", to whom we should pray to get messages to Jesus, as my Catholic brethren believe, then tell me, why did He not invite her in at this point to TEACH that, rather than shutting her out that the people could listen to Him?  In all the Gospels, Jesus in His adult life has three main contacts with Mary: At Cana, where He let her know His time did not belong to her; here, where she was not allowed to distract from the message; and on the Cross, where He showed He hadn't neglected His family duties by passing her care on to John.  "Devotion to Mary" is just another layer of static.

2022 Ato Z Mashup part one

 

*************************************** 

 

So I'm a little late on my annual mauling of the well-respected A to Z April blog challenge.  The proper way to do this is a post for each letter of the alphabet each day of the month, weekends excepting.  Well, as that's never gonna happen here, I decided long ago to 'play along' by doing two posts, one toward the beginning and one in the middle, splitting little factoids about each letter of whatever the subject is between the two.  As it is already about halfway to the halfway point, I'll probably do the other one towards the end.  So what's my subject this time?  I used a random word generator to give me a random noun for each letter, and now I will look for a random factoid to give for each- call it "Random²"!

 

Now, let's see if I can find the random factoids...

A is for ARTISAN

In ancient Egypt, the artisan was stuck below the scribe in the bureaucracy.  Which is kind of funny, since the most highly skilled artisans were the stone carvers, and what were the scribes' hieroglyphics written on? You can see it now... "Take a letter, Thutmose..."

B is for BIRTHDAY

The first cakes with candles were made and lit in ancient Greece, not exactly for birthdays, but to worship the Moon Goddess Artemis.  The candles were lit to represent her symbol, the moon.  They would have to wait to worship her brother the sun-god Apollo until they invented little electric floodlights... 

Hope he only wanted one per cake...

C is for CUSTOMER

Wikipedia has a definition for the origin of the word "customer" that really could use a 'for idiots' version.  Boiling it down, the customer is a client who buys from a seller, helping the seller to establish a "custom" of making, promoting, and selling his item in an efficient way.  Is it just me, or does the word seem dumber now that you know?

D is for DITCH

My randomizer did me no favors here.  First, it gave me description, which when put into the sentence "Random facts about..." makes Google give you random facts, assuming you want the description of a random fact.  Its second choice was "definition" which I didn't even bother with because you KNOW I'm going to get the exact same thing.  Third try, it gave me "ditch".  I thought, surely this will lead down an interesting path.  What I got was, "Did you mean, 'Dutch'?"  And the realization that when Google asks that question, it gives you no way to tell it, NO!

E is for EAR

 So I learned the human ear is supposed to be able to hear as low as 20 Hz and as high as 20,000 Hz.  Not knowing what that meant, I consulted YouTube, which has videos for each sound.  The 20 Hz, with my ear right up against my speaker, was what I imagine a hummingbird's growling stomach might sound like from about 10 yards.  The 20,000- complete with a warning to "adjust your speakers"- was a 'sweep' from 20 TO 20,000- which I lost around 12 or 13,000 Hz.

 

******************************************* 

F is for FARMER

So I clicked on "The six weirdest farming facts you ever heard", and this self-explanitory piece was at their #1...

 

While the answer to the above question ("What kind of milk do brown cows produce") might seem obvious to many people, an online survey conducted by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy uncovered a shocking statistic. They discovered that approximately 7% of the adult U.S. population believes brown cows produce chocolate milk.

Apparently, that’s not the only cow fact that the adult population is confused about. A study conducted by the Department of Agriculture in the early 1990’s, revealed that almost 20% of adults didn’t know hamburgers were made with beef.

 

G is for GROWTH

One site said, "Babies triple their birth weight their first year.  Imagine if adults did that?" I'm not doing the calculations clear out to MY age, but if I did that starting now for the next two years, I'd weigh a ton.  It also said that if we grew at the rate a baby does height wise, most of us would be 70 feet tall by the age of 50.  That would make for a lot more skyscrapers, I'd warrant...

 

H is for HAT

So there is a National Hat Day- January 15th.  Why this day?  Because a legendary (and quite possibly fictional) haberdasher named John Hetherington was arraigned that day in 1797 for wearing the first top hat in public, causing...

"several women fainted at the unusual sight, while children screamed, dogs yelped and a younger son of Cordwainer Thomas was thrown down by the crowd which collected and had his right arm broken".

 It should be noted that the first recorded mention of this story didn't come out until a hundred years later- supposedly in the Hatter's Gazzette, which I'm sure was a riveting read.

I is for INVESTMENT

From The Motley Fool...

Sure, there are stock markets for shares of companies offering various products and services, and bond markets, for debt obligations that investors trade. But did you know that even pirates have had a market, and not so long ago? The Wall Street Journal covered it in 2011, saying: "The world's first pirate stock exchange was established in 2009 in Harardheere, some 250 miles northeast of Mogadishu, Somalia. Open 24 hours a day, the exchange allows investors to profit from ransoms collected on the high seas, which can approach $10 million for successful attacks against Western commercial vessels."

 

"Well, my broker is EF Hutton, and EF Hutton says..."

 

J is for JELLY

Our second choice here, as "Judgment" didn't pan out.  Didja know that Dr Thomas B Welch- who would go on to invent Welch's grape jelly, started with juice clear back in 1869. Almost 40 years later, he made his first jam, which he called "Grapelade".  The US Army, stocking its troops for WWI, bought his entire inventory.

 

 

 

K is for KING

 

This one isn't exactly a "king story," or exactly accurate as it was first found by me, but...

At Tsar Nicholas II's coronation party about 1389 people died after being trampled due to a rumor that there wasn't enough free beer and food.  

 So, let me get at the real story.   This was the 1896 crowning of the last Tsar of Russia, the ill-fated (and ill-qualified) Nicholas II.  Second, while there may have been beer (more likely vodka) involved, it is not mentioned in the kindly-supplied source material.  Instead...

Thrilled by the coronation and excited by the prospect of the carnival to be held at Khodynka Field, the people were “stirred up and restive.” (1) The night before, thousands thronged to the area and camped out in the open, waiting for dawn, when the turnstiles would open and they could enter the fairgrounds. As the group waited, a rumor began to spread, "that there would not be enough gifts or food to go around. They had been promised sausage, bread rolls, sweets, nuts, gingerbread and a precious keepsake – a pink enamel mug bearing the arms of the city of Moscow and the words “In memory of the Holy Coronation,” all wrapped together in a colored kerchief stamped with the tsar and tsarina’s pictures.”

 About dawn, the people pushed through the barricades- a crowd of a half-million with about 100 Cossacks trying to control it.  At first, "Nicky" wanted to call off the whole thing- but since their French allies were planning a celebratory ball at HUGE expense, he started his reign off as he performed it throughout- by being talked into the wrong thing.  They cleaned up the bodies and went on as if nothing happened.

Finally, L is for LITERATURE

The best selling NOVEL of all time is Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote, from which comes the title of this blog.  That's it for today, now excuse me while I snap this stupid keyboard into tiny little pieces....

Sunday Message

 

You might have noticed the "Better Part" posts have dwindled.    Right now, I'm sharing when I am led to, but I do want to share my heart at this point.

One lesson I learned early last week is something I bring up in the next Bible Study- that if you don't pay attention, you're not listening. If all I get out of tuning my radio in at 6 AM to listen to Pastor A is the fact that I tuned in my radio on time, it does me no good.  In studying for the following week's Bible study this morning, I read two parables, side by side, that reminded me of one thing- for the seed to grow, it's got to get into my "ground".  My 'good soil' is nothing if the seed doesn't get into it.  Maybe that's why the BP posts have dwindled, but not entirely.  However, this post is not "Chris psychoanalyses himself" so we move on.

Almost every pastor I DO pay attention to is hitting the same subject right now- the End of the Age.  I'm not going to stand here wearing the posterboard telling you 'the end is near'.  But it is drawing nearer.  A lot of prophecy is being moved towards a final goal right now.  And if you are the seed that falls on the rocky soil, who likes my warm and fuzzy faith posts but not the 'look in the mirror' stuff, you might react different than I do.  You might not see the Russian war in Ukraine as one sign of what's coming, but their presence in Syria as a bigger one.  You might see the coming 'cashless society' as a convenience and miss the connection to 666.  You might see some of the current "tolerance" preaching as a good thing and not know it was predicted as a 'falling away.'  But if you read, truly read, the Word of God, you cannot help wondering how close we really are.  How much worse it's going to get.

You might not realize you are the frog in the pot of water, not noticing death coming on as the water goes from warm to boiling very slowly.

I'm not looking at panicking you, exactly.  There may be time; man doesn't know how hot the pot will get before it's too late to get out.  What I will say is this:  It takes just a few minutes to read a page or two of the Bible.  It takes a lot longer to understand that you need the wisdom to understand it, and get something out of it.  It takes the willingness to ask, to dig, to seek counsel.  It takes prayer and meditation.  And it takes being willing to sell all to obtain the Pearl of Great Price.  It takes weeding out the astrology, the 'settled science', the 'all paths lead to heaven' prophets, and gain ONE FOCUS.

It don't take me.  It takes you and Him.

M10 show week #19

 

Boss, you realize you ain't posted nothin' but the Bible study an' this all week?

Yeah, it's just been a rough week, for a variety of reasons... but if it helps, I'm thinking about doing that A to Z mash-up this weekend... it is that time of year again...

That always is good for a laugh... Any idears?

Maybe... but our bigger problem is this is a week in which the top ten on the M10 had no debuts!  That's a first this year, and the first since December 8th of last year, with Duran Duran and Tove Lo's Give It All Up in the top spot.  So I considered a "Top ten the same, just shuffled" feature to go with it.

Oh, no THAT sounds rivetin'...

Better ideas?

I'm the music man, not the idear man...

Then, allow me to proceed!  So first I thought, how often is it happening on the charts these days?  To my surprise, it had occurred not once, but twice, this year on Billboard, the most recent being back on the March 12th chart.  And how about in the past?  Now lately, we've been doing things with the Martin Era 2.1 (1960-79), mainly because Cashbox archives HAD been behind a password that the website wouldn't let you create for several weeks... that seems to be fixed now, although I did not know that.  And while I had managed to bring up the 60's and 70's on a cached site (and thanks again to Tropicalglen.com), I had been, until last weekend, too lazy to add the 50's to the list so I could go back to Martin Era 2.0- from the debut week of Rock Around The Clock on the May 7th, 1955 chart, till the debut of How Deep Is Your Love on the September 24th, 1977 chart.  But now that I can, I said, let's diversify- when were the first and last weeks of each of them to have no debuts?  Interesting answers await- after the King gives us some of this week's M10, okay?

 

Gotcha!  And now for a break from Mr Long-Winded Explanations...

10- Down 5 in week #7 for Tears For Fears an' Break The Man...

9- also down 5 in its 10th week, Envy Of None an' Liar...

8- Up 2 fer Beach House an' Hurts To Love...

7- an' up one fer... uh, that song about my ghost...

He means, Ghost Of Elvis Presley by Daisy Glaze....

************************************************

 

So the ME2.0 starts right out with a week that had no debuts!  May 7th, 1955 was the first week of ME2.0 and had no debuts- at the top was The Ballad of Davy Crockett by Bill Hayes- and others- which was in the second to last of 8 weeks at the top.

The ME2.1, however, managed 3 months before having its first no-debut week in the top ten.  It was the March 5th, 1960 chart- and howsabout some statistical irony?  The top song that week was Percy Faith's Theme From A Summer Place- also in an 8 week run at the top.  But instead of its second to last week of the run, it was its SECOND week of the run!

Oh, whoop-de-doo, color me impressed- no, check that, bored.

You're a bit of an ass tonight, aren't you?

C'mon, man!  No videos, no pretty girls...

What would you like? Another "Elvis's movies beauty contest?"

Naw, that's been done...

 

Well, how about your girlfriends?  You got your high school sweetie, Dixie Locke Evans...

Hey, that's my junior prom!  Where did ya...

Or your next sweetie, June Juanico...

 Oh, c'mon!  I look like a dork in that pitcher....

Or how about...

Okay, okay!  Lemme just give some more of the M10....

6- up one fer Maddie and Tae an' Grown Man Cry- which I'mma bout to...

5- up one fer Melody's Echo Chamber and Looking Backwards...

4- and up 5 biggies for Sunflower Bean an' Who Put You Up To This?

Speakin' of which...

************************************************

 How about Judy Spreckles?

I look like a dork there, too!  Jus' do yer specials... I promise I'll be good....

Aren't you gonna introduce me?

NO.

Well, fine.  Anyway, the LAST "same tens" on the M2.0 and M2.1 are kind of the long and short of things.  The ME 2.1's final 'same ten' was just 3 weeks from the end, on December 8th, 1979, a week topped by Styx and Babe.  However, 2.0's last 'same ten' took 72 weeks from the end- May 1, 1976, with the Bellamy Brothers and Let Your Love Flow at the top. 

 

 

"Weird, wild stuff!"

And now, King, you may take us out...

Oh, yeah, who am I takin' out this time? Natalie Wood? Anne Helm?

I meant, finish the M10...

Oh, uh, yeah...

 

3- an' holdin' fer Sweet an' Hoffs an' Run To Me...

2- an' holdin' fer Duran Duran an' Laughing Boy... which I'm feeling very familiar with right about now... 

 

An' another week at the top fer....

 

 

...the Cactus Blossoms an' Is It Over?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Man, I sure hope so....

Wednesday Bible Study: What Jesus asked, Part 11

 

This section addresses four interrelated questions, and the passage takes up the bulk of Matthew's 12th chapter.  But to get to the point of it, I will me just glancing over some of it, hitting some parts 'out of order', and adding in a tale of my own.  But the whole tale will hang around these words of Jesus:

Mat 12:33  "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.

QUESTION ONE:

Mat 12:24  But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, "It is only by Beelzebul, the prince of demons, that this man casts out demons."
Mat 12:25  Knowing their thoughts, he said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and no city or house divided against itself will stand.
Mat 12:26  And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 

Jesus is the good fruit, the Pharisees the bad.  And on the surface, this seems to be a logical question- why would Satan give Jesus the power to cast out demons doing HIS work?  And indeed, why would Satan give Jesus the power to HEAL, when all any demon ever causes is destruction?  But I think there is also a deeper point here- Satan's kingdom WILL NOT stand.  I think I can make that clearer by going to the next part...

QUESTION TWO

Mat 12:27  And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.
Mat 12:28  But if it is by the Spirit of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

One thing I learned about this verse:  According to both Josephus and Acts 19, there were what the commentators called "Itinerant Jewish exorcists" who traveled the land making their living "healing" people of demons.  They would use a 'formula' that they allegedly had used since the days of Solomon- almost a magic incantation (the first way we see Satan might 'drive out demons' to suit his purposes), to which they would soon append the Lord's name...

Act 19:13  Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists undertook to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul proclaims."
Act 19:14  Seven sons of a Jewish high priest named Sceva were doing this.
Act 19:15  But the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and Paul I recognize, but who are you?"

...which, as you might guess, had mixed results.  These are the sons Jesus spoke of- the recruits which, after converting them, the Pharisees would make "Twice as much a son of the Devil as yourselves" (Matt. 23:15).  So am I saying that Satan WOULD divide against his own house?  Consider:  Two weeks ago, we were watching on TV 'Air Disasters', and this episode had a plane from a Muslim nation that was crashing; several people interviewed mentioned "praying to God (Allah)", and the plane was miraculously saved.  Did "Allah" save them? "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit." Answer:  I don't know.  Perhaps the TRUE God, in His mercy, knew of one life on that plane was yet to be saved. Perhaps Satan was allowed to preserve it, to increase faith in a false God.  But I know "Allah" did nothing.  This is a deep subject that Jesus spoke on here...

Luk 13:1  There were some present at that very time who told him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
Luk 13:2  And he answered them, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered in this way?
Luk 13:3  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.
Luk 13:4  Or those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them: do you think that they were worse offenders than all the others who lived in Jerusalem?
Luk 13:5  No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

A reminder that, while God MAY protect us to His glory in the here and now, it is not the end goal of what He seeks for us.

And as for that judging, Read on to the end of the chapter on your own.

THIRD QUESTION

Mat 12:29  Or how can someone enter a strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? Then indeed he may plunder his house. 

There is a difference, though, between what the "sons of the Pharisees" do and what Jesus does.  When Jesus saves, the Holy Spirit enters the believer, and the sins of flesh can then be bound.  You may yet sin, but are not forced to by your nature, as you once were.  On the other hand, when the sons of the Pharisees 'remove' a demon...

Mat 12:43  "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none.
Mat 12:44  Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.' And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order.
Mat 12:45  Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also will it be with this evil generation."

FOURTH QUESTION

Mat 12:34  You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

This, then is the question that answers all the others.  So evil in their heart are they that they overturn logic, common sense, and any vestige of faith in the True God, in order to demean Jesus, whose very works show Him to be the Messiah!  In a few moments, they would ask for a 'sign'- a sign they would never have believed anyway.  But Jesus would answer, in part...

Mat 12:39  But he answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah...

 

And why I mention this is, it finishes the whole thing off perfectly.  You see that word, 'adulterous', in Jesus's description, and your mind goes to the realm of sexual sin. HOWever, with a little digging into the word, we find at base it means 'apostate'..."a person who renounces a religious or political belief or principle."  They are a generation who have renounced God, and their fate is coming fast upon them.

M10 Show week #18

 

Tonight, we're gonna do at least one thing different...

Elvis:  Yeah?  Whut's that?

 

Well, tonight, we have 3 debuts- two of them have like 7 or 8 #1s here between them, but the third, now they are new to the list, and they bring on the most appropriate-to-this-show song we've ever had!

Appropriate?  How so?

 

You'll see, but first, howsabout you queue up the first debut at #10...

Sure thing!  Well, we lost a Beach House song this week, so we gotta make that up, because this week makes 21 straight weeks since the debut of the title cut of Once Twice Melody hit our charts, an' we'd hate to see the streak broke!  Here they come, at #10... 

*************************************************** 

 

I have to say, I really didn't have anything special lined up this week...

Slackin', slackin'!

Yeah, I know, but I haven't got any clickbait freebies in a while, and...

Hey, whut about the cat that died this week?

You mean Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters?  You know, I followed them a little bit, back when Fort Wayne had a good Alternative station (which we haven't in ages), and they had some songs I really liked, though I would wager much of their list I haven't heard.  He himself was also a touring drummer for Sass Jordan, as well as Alanis Morissette.  The Fighters themselves have been on the M10 once with a tune called Sunday Rain, and have 10 alt #1s.  With Mick Jagger heading for dotage, it's a shame to see a guy like this, only 50, leave us for the Band Up There.

 

In the mean time, though, our second debut at #9 belongs to Sunflower Bean...

 

****************************************************** 

 

T'be continued?  What in the ding-dong...

 

I guess we'll find out when the next video hits, buddy!  In the meantime, why don't you left everyone know the rest of the M10... WITHOUT the high debut at #8....

 

Yer about as mysterious as the Bean girl was!  Okay, then...

7- up three for Maddie and Tae an' Grown Man Cry...

6- up one spot fer Melody's Echo Chamber an' Looking Backwards...

5- an' down 3 for Tears for Fears an' Break The Man...

4- an' down one for Envy Of None an' Liar in week # 9....

3- an' up 3 fer Sweet an' Hoffs an' Run To Me....

2- an' up two fer Duran Duran an' Laughing Boy....

 

An' still at the top fer...

 

 

 ...the Cactus Blossoms an' Is It Over?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

All right, now what's so dad-burn special about this debut at #8?

 

Well, it's a new-to-us duo calling themselves Daisy Glaze... and the song they debut with is called- so appropriate to this show... The Ghost Of Elvis Presley!

 

WHAT???

 

 

****************************************** 

 

Man, that's burnt!  Cool tune!

Hope everyone else liked it, too!  See you next time!
