More flotsam; I was always fond of this bit:

Bishop James Usher calculated the exact time that God created the earth
in 4,004 B.C., on 23 October along about 6:00 p.m. Perhaps he did it by
counting the generations from Adam & Eve to Jesus.


... oooOO}{OOooo ...
Merry Christmas, everyone!

Can I ask what decade that was, and was it a weekend course then?

That is how the Hebrew Calendar was calculated, albeit prior to Jesus. HC has 2 versions of calendar years, more than 1,700 years apart from each other, but both derived via the same method. Regardless of that discrepancy of starting point, history recorded in HC was more accurate and usable because it counted years by numbers, long before other calendars did so.
One used 3761 BC as the point of origin.
The other used 5509 BC.

Oh BRENDA, it sounds like it was a bad year for you! I hope with all my heart that next year will be everything that you want- healthy, prosperous, happy, and more.

Well, it hasn't been a great one exactly. Trying to find a better place to live and then having another biopsy done in October. The biopsy again was negative but the trying to find a new place is hard and getting me down.

Why the need for a new place? A serious issue?

BRENDA, your landlords sound like a-holes. I can't imagine just watching someone that I knew struggling to get to their feet and not helping. Plus the walking situation sounds dangerous. No wonder you want to move.

What is the problem with finding a new place? Rental costs?

A very idiotic similar appearance to the Jewish menorah used during Hanukkah but Swahili, an East African language, reflects its status as a symbol of Pan-Africanism. Kwanzaa was created in 1966 by radical Black activist Ron Karenga, a felon convicted of assault and false imprisonment after he tortured two women, roots in the black nationalist movement of the 1960s and was established as a means to help African Americans reconnect to jungles and plains of Africa.

So you are an Israeli Jew then? everytime when you act fake and claim to be a born and bred Christian American and someone exposes you you try to shape shift, no you say you are Canadian, then a US Citizen, then sometimes it slips out you might be an Israeli Jew

if you're not an Israeli Jew but an Evangelical type, you were one of those CUFI on Campus kids, Dutch Us Protestant Reformed Church, Dispensationalist Southern Baptist, that's even more Pathetic

but you scurry away like a rodent Scurrying away like a cockroach any time someone shines a torch on your schizo shifty positions

I expect you will continue to try playing Shape Shifter Chameleon

What is the winter solstice?

/
“During the Southern Hemisphere’s June, or winter, solstice, the Sun appears at its lowest point in the sky, marking the shortest day of the year and longest night,” explains astronomy expert Glenn Dawes.
“During the solstice, Earth’s Southern Hemisphere is tilted away from the Sun, while at the same time the Northern Hemisphere is tilted towards it, resulting in the longest day of the year there.
“The word “solstice” comes from the Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because the Sun was believed to stand still for a moment before changing direction.”

"New Testament written in what year?:
But from the middle of the 1st century AD texts begin to be written which will
later be gathered into a New Testament, representing the updated covenant
revealed by Christ. The earliest such texts are the letters (or Epistles) written
between about 50 and 62 AD by St Paul to various early Christian communities.

"When were the books of the New Testament written?

"Here’s an important fact to keep in mind: Jesus died in roughly A.D. 30 to 33,
not the year 0, since A.D. does not mean “After Death” but Anno Domini (“in the
year of our Lord”).

"With A.D. 30 as ground zero, most scholars date Paul’s letters between A.D. 50
and 66, the first three Gospels between A.D. 50 and 70, and John’s writings some-
time between A.D.. 80 and 90. That makes the majority of the epistles and three
of the Gospels dated only twenty to forty years after the death of Jesus."
........................

My own opinion or suspicion:
Joseph & Mother Mary didn't exist. Jesus didn't exist.
The New Testament is a fictional work wholly produced by the early Catholic Church.

I'm not saying this to be mean to Christians. They can believe in Jesus, but I can't ...
Quite by accident, I once had an epiphany. Jesus Christ wasn't in it. & that proves
nothing.

Merry Christmas to All!!
