God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; thought its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah.
There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the dwelling places of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her, she shall not be shaken;
God shall help her, just at the turning of the morning.
The nations raged, the kingdoms were moved;
He uttered His voice, the earth melted. (psalm 46:1-6)But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be laid bare.(2 peter 3:10)

unfortunately...imo, the people don't realize that they can't count on their leaders being their friends either. recall iran...nothing came about from protest last year...nothing except excecutions.
in a theocracy like iran, what the united states would call sedition would be called moharebeh = "warring against God" = no legitimate trial = swift excecution.
if more islamic states are created where the line between secular and religious government is blurred it is scary for everyone. more violence and unrest is the plague that comes this way...

...egyptians could be looking at a much more tyranical regime instead of the democratic one that they are looking for. the muslim brotherhood if brought into power, would sever all "friendly" ties with israel. the people are chanting "mubarak you coward, you agent of the united states."...what does THAT sound like? ...I think that the radical islamic element will use this overthrow as their means to quietly implement control that the people will not easily be able to shake off.

Christian DOCTRINE comes from WHERE exactly??
by Terry inthe great russian composer igor stravinsky is purported to have observed: "there is no such thing as music theory all though one can be derived from the existing ouvre.".
or, to put it another way: doctrine (music or scripture) is an artificial human construct and a derivative.
it is a construction of the mind based on what is already there in the work itself.. .

you said: "Paul's arguments are not traditional Jewish thought so much as neo-Platonic myth-making with Judaism as a backdrop.
Had 70 c.e. not brought the END of functional Judaism there would have been no impulse to RE-IDENTIFY themselves as CHRISTIAN rather than merely messianic JEWS."...
well paul did understand that the other apostles were interested in keeping certain rules and regulations pertaining to the Jewish religious "identity"...and as the apostle to the gentiles he would be entrusted with the task of bringing the two groups...jewish and gentile into the one unified group. thus the church was "newly born" instead of the synagogue and new positions of authority were "newly born" within this structure instead of the inherited leadership of the jewish structure.(the practice of inherited authority that crept into the church through the papal system was in effect eliminated with the implementation of the unmarried and celebate priesthood).
ephesians 2:14-22
For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Christ Our Cornerstone
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit....For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles-if indeed you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which was given to me for you,(acts 9:15-20...from the Lord to Ananias) how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery (as I wrote before in a few words, by which, when you read, you may undestand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ), which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:...

Our Stories and Why They Matter
by Farkel instories are perhaps the most important thing we can contribute to others in our short life on planet earth.. mind you, i am not saying that stories are the most important things in our lives, because they are not.
the most important things in our lives are experiences, which are moment-by-moment things.
the best we can do with our own experiences is to tell stories about them, which will never convey the actual living of them.
