If you've been here in the last week, you might have noticed a few spellings were corrected, and a link or two changed. Those corrections were made in the Bibles here too.

I promised the full sized downloadable Bibles would be available soon, many months ago. All I can say is I'm working on them, and I expect then here in three weeks.

Happy Israeli Independence days!

A debate is raging in Israel off and on, about the administration of state recognized conversion. It's been in the courts, and reforms haven't evolved as necessary for the social well-being of many of Israeli citizens.

In addition, the prohibition to actively seek converts, has blinded Judaism to those that speak with their hearts, and don't follow through on their inner desire to be a part of the tribe.

As a biblical prophet, I hope I can initiate changes that will improve the current stale-mate.

Look at the state of Christianity, and how the apparent hijacking of Hebrew words to name apostles of the New Testament, is an underground knowledge. In Israel, when petar, paol, gaon (no j in the Hebrew alphabet), and matoo (no 'th' consonant either) are spoken, nobody can, or ever will believe they are original names. Things get a whole lot worse when Jews mistakenly name their sons Matthew, sometimes thinking it's Hebrew origin is from the word 'gift'. IT ISN'T! Add the message of the Book of Mormon, to wait for a sequel to see characters get to heaven, and an active culture of upheaval in the religion is apparent. Then the story of Jesus having children, shared by the Devinci Code, and my own work in progress, adds an element of intrigue.

Catholicism seems to oppress distinction further, by having Cardinals swear in the name of Immanuel, in a vivid avoidance of future priorities.

Judaism has itself become diluted in culture, because the official name for the United States is Atzot H'brit, and the vast majority of American Jews can't translate the title. Here's a description I wrote for another website.

These are recipes for stagnation, that don't seem to be going away any time soon.

Welcome! This page officially hit the web today. I should have a good looking presentation up in a day or two. Please stop back then. I look forward to making this an interesting and informative website.
