ANTINOMIANISM (from Greek anti, "against," and nomos, "law"), opposition to the law and, more especially, a religiously inspired rejection and abolition of moral, ritual, and other traditionally accepted rules and standards. Antinomianism in the narrow sense has usually been applied to one of the main trends in the early church which, in the wake of Paul's disparagement of the Mosaic Law in favor of the law of the "New Covenant," asserted that those who are saved may "do evil that good may come" (Rom. 3:8). Paul himself indignantly repudiated this accusation (ibid. 3) though he held that the Mosaic Law was no longer valid after the coming of Christ. In a wider sense the term is used to designate doctrines asserting that at certain times (e.g., in the messianic era when the old things have passed away and a new order is established) or for certain individuals or groups (e.g., those who have attained higher knowledge, salvation, or initiation into certain mysteries) men are no longer bound by constricting rules and norms applicable to less perfect times or individuals. It is not surprising, therefore, that the problem of antinomianism should have posed itself mainly in connection with Gnostic, mystical, or messianic movements. Licentiousness seems to have been characteristic of some Gnostic sects, even as the doctrine of the "freedom of the children of light" or Luther's teachings regarding justification by faith only, without regard to works, contributed to manifestations of antinomianism among the Anabaptists and among some 17th-century English sects. Antinomian tendencies in Judaism often based themselves on arbitrary interpretations of rabbinic statements to the effect that in the "world to come" all ritual prohibitions would be abolished (see also *Gnosticism).
On the other hand, ritual and customs were an integral part of the Torah, the "divine law," and like the Torah itself, were said to possess eternal and absolute validity. Post-Exilic Judaism took great pains to observe every single precept contained in the Torah. Pharisaic Judaism, although it regarded all commandments as equally sacred, did sense a difference between ritual laws and moral laws, as well as between reasonable laws and such that could not be rationally justified. A baraita (Yoma 67b) makes a distinction between mishpatim, i.e., commandments which "even if they had not been written down, would have been written down as a matter of course," such as the prohibitions of idolatry, incest, murder, etc., and ḥukkot, i.e., commandments "which the Satan always urges one to transgress," such as the consumption of pork, the use of cloth that is part wool and part linen, levirate marriages, etc. The baraita goes on to say: "You might argue that this (i.e., the ḥukkot) is of no account; therefore it is written 'I am God' (Lev. 18:4) – I, God, have fixed the laws and you have no right to question them." This passage in the baraita amounts to a clear rejection of antinomian freedom of judgment and clearly expresses the attitude of observant Judaism of all periods to the problem of ritual laws. It was not, however, a solution designed to satisfy the inquisitive mind. The need to find meaning and purpose in the ritual laws seems to have been felt first in the Hellenistic period, when it became indispensable for the propagation of Judaism among the pagans, especially the learned among them. It was necessary to explain to them not only the ancient traditions and legends and adapt them to the Greek way of thinking but above all to justify the law itself. Hellenistic Judaism conceived the Torah as nomos, the law being the supreme expression of Jewish religious distinctiveness; it was of the utmost importance to explain to the pagans the inner meaning of Jewish religious laws. Attempts were made to give the laws a symbolic interpretation and thereby to bring out their profound meaning (Aristobulus, the letter of Aristeas, Philo, Josephus, etc.). At the same time, an antinomian trend also made itself felt; the attempt to explain the law had the natural result of a relaxation in its observance. Philo testifies to this trend when he states: "There are, however, people who regard the written law as images of spiritual concepts, take great pains in exploring the latter, while neglecting the former. These are people that I must censure. For one must be careful to do both: to explore the hidden meaning and to practice the plain meaning. Even though the commandment on Sabbath observance contains the hidden meaning that action is the prerogative of God and His creatures should remain passive, this does not absolve us of the obligation to observe the sanctity of the Sabbath. Similarly, although the holy days and festivals are only images of our spiritual joy and our gratitude to God, we are not permitted to renounce the customary ceremonies and rituals. Circumcision may essentially only mean the removal of all passion, lust, and godless thought, yet we are not permitted to disregard the custom, as it is commanded; for if we were to adhere only to the higher meaning of the law, we would also have to give up sanctification in the Temple and untold other essential ceremonies" (cf. Philo, Migration, 89 ff.; Wolfson, Philo, 1 (1948), 66–71). A similar danger of the erosion of ritual practice and the observance of the law was felt as a result of the rise and spread of Graeco-Arab philosophy among the Jews after the tenth century.
In medieval Jewish thought, antinomian tendencies appeared in three different manners: (a) in allegorical exegesis of the commandments, which regarded them as symbolic of rational and scientific attainment; (b) in spiritualistic interpretation
In the 14th century, many rationalists did, in fact, display antinomian attitudes, in some cases in their supercommentaries to Ibn Ezra, arguing that "the essence of the worship of God is in the heart" (Samuel ibn Zarza, Mikhlol Yofi, Ms. Paris, f. 729–730; Sec. 2, f. 207a). Much additional evidence to antinomian attitudes leading to laxity or abandonment of ritual observance may be found in medieval Jewish sources, although it is not at all clear whether these sources are proof of concrete cases of antinomian behavior, or only of a certain type of homiletical style.
The allegorical interpretations of the philosophical meanings of the laws clearly encouraged laxity among those who thought that the outer observances were merely a means for expressing philosophical truths. Philo's remarks incidentally suggest that the antinomians found no fault with the Temple and the cult of animal sacrifice; in general, however, it was precisely the rejection of the cult of sacrifice which was a cardinal point of many antinomian groups. Epiphanius (Adversus Haereses 1:18) mentions a pre-Christian Jewish sect, the Nazarenes, which rejected the Pentateuch, regarding it as a forgery; they observed most Jewish customs but did not accept the cult of animal sacrifice (cf. Meyer, Urspr, 2 (1921), 408 ff.; Harnack, The Mission and Expansion of Christianity, 1 (1961), 402f.). Similar views were also held by many Judeo-Christian sects. Some scholars claimed to find allusions to antinomianism and Gnosticism in several of the books of the Bible and the Talmud (M. Friedlaender, Der vorchristliche juedische Gnosticismus (1898), 71 ff.). The rejection of the ceremonial law by the modern *Reform movement can be regarded as a form of antinomianism, but in recent years there can be detected a distinct tendency toward at least a partial return to ceremonial observance.
[Dov Schwartz (2nd ed.)]
In Kabbalah
Since the Kabbalah's basic aim was to strengthen the Jewish religious tradition, it is in general far removed from antinomian tendencies. Its attitude to the halakhah is positive but it endeavors to endow the precepts with symbolic value. For this reason we find in the early Kabbalah phenomena which may be regarded only as latent antinomianism. There are three such occurrences: (1) The doctrine of Sefer ha-*Temunah (first printed in 1784) on the changes of the reading of the Torah due to new combinations of its letters in the various stages of the cosmic cycle. Each such stage is called shemittah and what is forbidden in the shemittah during which we live may become permitted, and even considered a commandment, during another shemittah. Adherents to this doctrine also held that in actual fact the alphabet contained 23 letters, but that one letter became "unseen" in our shemittah; its revelation in the next shemittah will, of course, deeply change our manner of understanding the Torah. (2) The doctrine of the book Ra'aya Meheimna ("The Faithful Shepherd," part of the *Zohar dealing with the interpretation of the commandments): during the period of exile the Torah derives from the Eẓ ha-Da'at ("the Tree of Knowledge") and for this reason it contains purity and defilement, things that are permitted and things that are prohibited, and so on. At the time of *redemption, however, the Torah will be revealed from the Eẓ ha-Ḥayyim ("the Tree of Life") and with the annihilation of the yeẓer ha-ra ("evil inclination"), prohibitions and limitations will no longer be necessary. Thus, its secret (i.e., mystic) knowledge, the pure spirituality which is its essence, will become manifest and people will act according to it. This spiritual Torah which is concealed in our revealed Torah is called Torah de-Aẓilut ("Torah of the Higher World"). (3) The doctrine of the books Peli'ah and *Kanah (written around 1340–80), according to which there is no literal meaning in the Talmud and in the halakhah; the secret (mystic) knowledge itself is the literal meaning. One should observe the halakhic values for this reason only; for, if one should suppose that these values have the literal, customary meaning, then there is no need to keep many of them, since it is possible to prove through inner criticism of the halakhah and by the way of talmudic discussion itself that numerous essential halakhic rules do not apply in exile and that most of the ritual precepts are not observed in it at all.
Common to all three doctrines is the fact that in actual reality, in our time, there is no place for antinomianism. But the existence of the halakhic world is always dependent on a
[Gershom Scholem]
One of the main sources of kabbalistic antinomianism is the astrological theory of changes of law which depend on Saturn and Jupiter. The rule of a certain planet over a certain period of time, a cosmic cycle, and the corresponding nature of the law that governs during this cycle, has been transferred by some kabbalists to the rule of a certain Sefirah, whose specific nature is reflected in the structure of the Torah.

Lawyer: Southbury not doing it by the book
$1.8M library gift fund now under town control; once managed by volunteers
SOUTHBURY -- Ed Edelson had been first selectman for just a couple of weeks when news broke in December that the town library had received a $1.08 million gift from a woman's estate.
It was not unusual for the library to be named in a person's will. It has happened 11 times in the past decade. But it was the sheer size of Lu Burke's bequest that made the news so shocking and wonderful.

Shirley Michaels should be immediately removed as chairwoman AND as a member of the library Board of Directors.
The entire Library Board should be removed, and it would be done "With Cause".
They don't want a dime of donation money spent helping taxpayers with the Electric Bill, or with the propane used in the reading room with the 29 foot high ceiling...BUT THEY CAN BUY BOOZE, CAKES, FOOD AND UNAUTHORIZED ATTORNEYS WITH DONATED MONEY?????
How about the fact that the money was invested in the Connecticut Community Foundation. Guess who are trustees of that Foundation? John Michaels, Chairman of the board of finance and husband of the Chairwoman of the Library board of directors...AND Wayne McCormack, a member of the Library board of directors.
More of the 60 years of Southbury Republican Values coming back to haunt us. Over 30 years of Michaels rule on the Board of Finance and Library Board of Directors has revealed this extremely unethical, immoral and potentially criminal situation involving donated funds.
Where did the Library Board of Directors think they derived their authority from...John and Shirley Michaels or the Board of Selectmen who appointed them? When did they believe they were their own form of government who answered only to themselves and to the Finance Board Chairman?
These people are hiding behind a fantasy and have been revealed for the arrogant, self serving scofflaws that they are. "
Jon Norris wrote on May 28, 2012 2:53 PM:
As pointed out, the Library Board has been successful in persuading generous members of the community to include the Library in their estate planning.
Donors now have to question if their money is going to enhance the library (all the children's programs, kindles, DVD anti-theft system, etc.) or to help balance the town's budget.
What Ed Edelson and Donna Perreria (Board of Selectman representative to the newly formed Library Board 2.0) have thus far failed to grasp is that Lu Burke's million dollar bequest could be the last one of its kind or the first of more to come. Why hasn't he come forward with an honest mea culpa, and foresworn using the endowment for the Library's regular budget?
The bulk of the article deals with the issue of custody of the funds, but without a sincere, unambiguous commitment to using gifted money for enhancements only, the question of custody will soon be a moot. "
southburyincompetence wrote on May 28, 2012 4:24 PM:
I agree with Carol. If the person the taxpayers are paying to run the library, Ms. Thorsen doesn't know who authorized an attorney to be paid for advice, something is seriously wrong with Library Operations. Who voted for Shirley Michaels and the rest of Board?.....Nobody. They were appointed by the Board of Selectmen. Their qualifications were having political connections.
John Michaels ridiculously selfish commentary about the Selectmen allowing people who know how to run library to do so, shows his political bent while covering his own butt and defending his wife, not someone "qualified" to run a library and John Michaels has proven he is no longer qualified to run the towns board of finance.

Squirrel dinner prep maybe sparked Michigan fire
HOLLAND TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — Authorities say a blaze that displaced dozens of people from a southwest Michigan apartment complex may have been sparked by a resident trying to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.
Fire Chief Jim Kohsel tells MLive.com that the resident apparently planned to eat the animal and was burning off its fur on a third-floor deck at the building in Ottawa County's Holland Township when the fire broke out Wednesday. Flames spread to the roof. Kohsel says eight apartments are destroyed and others damaged.
The resident's name wasn't immediately released.
Kohsel says a firefighter broke a toe. No residents were injured.
Resident Tiffany Camburn told The Holland Sentinel that she and her neighbors had to evacuate their apartments.
The American Red Cross arranged temporary shelter and clothing for displaced residents.

Breeds from southern Mackenzie, northern Alberta, and central Manitoba east to Newfoundland, and south to southern United States east of Rockies. Winters from southern parts of Gulf Coast states southward.
This conspicuous warbler arrives in the North early in spring, usually by mid- to late April. It is known for its habit of creeping around tree trunks and along larger branches in search of insect food in crevices in or under the bark; hence its old name, "Black-and-white Creeper." Unlike the Brown Creeper, which only moves up a tree, this species can climb in any direction.
4 or 5 purple-spotted white eggs in a ground nest composed of leaves, grass, and rootlets, and lined with hair and fern down. Nest is found at the base of a tree, stump, or rock.

The Londoner's Guide to London
Frequently amusing comedy with some great sight gags and strong comic performances from Ben Stiller and Rip Torn, despite an occasionally lazy script.
The trailer and the poster for DodgeBall tell you everything you need to know about the movie, to wit: a) there will be lots of jokes about balls and b) if you don't find people being hit in the face with a ball (or a wrench) funny, then don't bother seeing the film, because that's basically all there is. As such, it's the sort of film where if you've seen the trailer you've already seen the best gags, although it's still worth, ahem, CATCHING, for Ben Stiller and Rip Torn's performances.
Gym Owners Go Head To Head
Vince Vaughn stars as Peter La Fleur, the under-achieving owner of Average Joe's Gym. Average Joe's is a run-down, ramshackle place that has somehow managed to stay afloat with just a small bunch of wacky, but loyal regulars, including one called Steve the Pirate (Alan Tudyk), who thinks he's, well, a pirate. However, Average Joe's faces stiff competition from Globo Gym, the muscle emporium across the street, run by White Goodman (Ben Stiller), who makes it clear that he intends to bulldoze Average Joe's for parking space.
When the bank tells Peter that he needs $50,000 in 30 days or he'll lose the gym, he enters his no-hope bunch of regulars in the national DodgeBall championship, largely because the prize money just happens to be the amount they need. However, not to be outdone, Goodman enters his own team…
Vince Vaughn has proven himself as a likeable comic actor, but here he
downplays his usual manic persona and ends up as the straight man of the film, which is a shame, as it frequently looks as if he just isn't trying. As a result, it's easy to imagine how much better Owen Wilson would have been in the role. By contrast, Ben Stiller is back on the comic form of Zoolander, after a couple of under-performing movies (Our House, Along Came Polly) where he played it relatively straight. His White Goodman is hilarious, an arrogant, stupid character with a painfully obvious Small Man Complex, complete with an inflatable crotch device.
In addition, there's good support from Justin Long (as the team's youngest member) and Christine (Mrs Ben Stiller) Taylor, as Kate Veatch, the bank representative who comes to deliver the bad news and ends up joining the team thanks to an unexpected flair for DodgeBall. However, the stand-out performance is Rip Torn, as their wheelchair-bidden coach, Patches O'Houlihan, with his somewhat unorthodox training techniques ("If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!").
Script Feels Too Lazy
The main problem with the film is that the script feels very lazy, as if the writers hadn't bothered to really develop any of the characters – for example, Steve the Pirate should have been hilarious, but his character is the joke and it doesn't go anywhere. Similarly, the climax of the film feels rushed and is slightly disappointing.
That said, the DodgeBall tournament sequences are actually pretty good and there are several hilarious cameos (William Shatner, Hank Azaria), including one (helpfully spelled out for the audience) that provides one of the film's biggest laughs.
In short, DodgeBall is an enjoyable Friday night comedy that delivers several decent laugh-out loud gags, even if it's not the movie it could have been with a more thought-out script. Oh, and be sure to stay till after the credits for a hilarious (if repulsive) final gag.

Spinach Seeds
After you grow your own, nothing else will suffice.
Mmmm. Fresh spinach is a favorite for culinary grown-ups of all ages. Popeye notwithstanding, spinach is usually a food for grown-ups. Along with onions and a few others, it usually takes a few years to appreciate. But then--it can't be topped.
Imagine a big bowl steaming with melted butter. Think chicken florentine. Pasta with spinach and mushrooms. Garlic-flavored spinach. Hundreds of mouthwatering casserole recipes. They're all 100% better when the greens come in fresh from the garden! And growing it couldn't be easier--just gather the greens and cook!
Bloomsdale Spinach SeedsBig, glossy deep green leaves are held up from the soil, and lead to a spectacular fresh spinach harvest. Great variety.

Dolby Digital Plus Comes to Devices Faster16 Apr, 2012 By: Chris Tribbey
Dolby Laboratories' Digital Plus audio soon will be available to broadcasters and online content providers at half the data rate, thanks to new encoding techniques, the company announced.
Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 sound can now be delivered at 192 Kbps, half the data rate typically used by services today. Dolby says the solution allows the audio service to be enjoyed by more connections on more devices. Dolby aims to offer the new solution this summer.
"Our vision is to deliver an immersive, realistic viewing experience that is true to the creator's vision, tailored for whatever compatible device is used for playback," said Giles Baker, VP of broadcast for Dolby Laboratories. "With these latest coding breakthroughs and playback optimization in Dolby Digital Plus, we are enabling that vision and powering a new wave of service innovation."
Broadcasters and online content providers typically deliver Dolby Digital 5.1 audio at an average data rate of 384 Kbps. By cutting that in half, Dolby says content providers can free up more space to deliver high-def channels added features such as 7.1 surround sound, multiple languages on pay TV services, and multiroom capability on IPTV systems.
Dolby also is releasing a development kit for content companies that uses the MPEG DASH (Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP) standard, a delivery format for streaming Internet content.
"Netflix welcomes the growing support for emerging online standards including MPEG DASH and the associated Common Encryption specification for ISO files," said Mark Watson, director of streaming standards at Netflix. "These standards will enable continued efficient and high quality integration of over-the-top services like Netflix across a wide range of devices."

I suppose I got shunted off the page by weekend inactivity and am now lost for posterity, so I ask again - I cannot boil 6 gals at once, so can I split brew in half, boil cool add ALL yeast, boil cool add to first half. Thanks.
Hey Bob, without knowing your recipe and type of brew (extract, pm, ag) it is hard to say. The main concern would be the hop schedule. Hop utilization is affected by boil volume, which is the main concern with what you are considering. Sure, you can do it, you just need to alter you hop quantities a bit to compensate.
If you have two smaller pots, just split the boil that way. If not, I wouldn't add the yeast until the second half is combined. But dividing your wort and hops into two equal boils should work fine.
Looking at the Grinder post below, I stand corrected. I would guess that adding the yeast early has something to do with getting the process started to lower the risk of contamination. Let us know how you make out.
Bob - without a doubt you can do that. Palmer talks about that process in a podcast I was listening to just last week. I was surprised that he suggested adding the yeast to batch one and then adding the wort to the already fermenting yeast but . . . . . I GUESS since HE said ti was OK . . . it is.
Just split the hops in half - it'll be like two small batches combined into one.
What I've been doing is just boiling two 1/2 batches at once. Get's a little dicey when both pots want to have their hot break at the same time but I now stagger the boils by 5 minutes (happens naturally with slightly different pots).
Grinders Island Brewery - Pipeline
Bottled! Award winning East India Porter, Oatmeal Stout, Milk Stout, Saison fermenting at a nice controlled 85 degrees (up from 70) as it should be - weird isn't it.
thanks, everybody, next brew I do it, the main problem is, in the UK, it is not possible to buy a 3 kilowatt electric heating ring any more, I had one, it bust, can't replace.

Billy Gibbons sat down for an interview with M - Music & Musicians magazine to talk about his ever-evolving career, including some exciting solo projects on the horizon.
Regarding his guitar work, the ZZ Top axeman says these days he subscribes to the less-is-more philosophy:
"It's so much better to express yourself in 12 notes than it might be in 24," he said. "The spaces between the notes are music, too, so there's a whole lot there and it's more comfortable to play and hear if you don't overwhelm everybody."
Gibbons also dished on a "spate" of new solo releases:
"There's a spate of BFG [Billy F. Gibbons] solo releases pending, and we hope those are out before long," he said. "It's electronica-skewed work and certainly won't be confused with ZZ Top, which is the very point. Why do something different if it sounds the same?"

It's one of Life's bittersweet moments: In the recent video release My Life, Michael Keaton plays a dying public-relations executive who makes home videos as a memorial of his life. Inadvertently, My Life itself became a memorial to Sondra Rubin, the mother of writer/director Bruce Joel Rubin; she died of a cerebral hemorrhage last September, four months after filming a cameo as the relative who opens the door at a family party to welcome the couple played by Keaton and Nicole Kidman.
In fact, Rubin's entire family seems to be in the movie. ''If [you] froze the frame [in the wedding scene], you would see my brother, my sister-in-law, my wife, my kids, my nieces and nephews,'' he says. ''I decided it was the last time I ever make a film with my relatives, 'cause when you start cutting the film, you have to worry about whether you're cutting your relatives out of it.''

Spectrum Center Students Thank Assembly Member for Support
Release Highlights:
SAN JOSE, Calif. (Nov. 17, 2010) – Spectrum Center students hosted Assembly Member Joe Coto (D-San Jose) and guests to celebrate the signing of the "Spectrum Law" (AB 1742), which was initiated by Spectrum students who have special needs and provides all California students who have special needs equal access to technology-based learning materials in the classroom.
Assembly Member Coto, who is a former public school teacher and superintendent, met with Spectrum students, staff and parents to see how access to new technologies will help students advance academically and in daily life. Students presented photos, videos and PowerPoint presentations showcasing their use of technology in the classroom and its impact on education.
"We are delighted the Spectrum bill has passed and that students with special needs can now have access to the kind of technology that will help them advance academically," Coto, a former public school teacher and superintendent, said when he visited the school recently. "It is both fair and vital that students with special needs who attend California nonpublic schools have access to the same resources as their peers. As a leader in special education, Spectrum Center and its students should be congratulated for advocating on behalf of all students in California."
Spectrum students developed the idea for the law after they visited the state capitol last November and learned how laws are developed. One of the students said, "You mean someone like me could create a bill that could become a law that would help other people like me?" The students' idea about equal access to technology was developed into formal legislation that Spectrum Center students in classrooms throughout the state decided to introduce and support.
The students worked with Assembly Member Coto, who authored AB 1742, and personally advocated for the bill in both houses of the Legislature. They met with key staff and Members of the Education Committee, and they wrote letters and created videos to express their support of the bill and describe the personal impact the bill will have on their lives. The bill passed the state Assembly (76-0) and the Senate (34-0) with unanimous bipartisan support. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Schwarzenegger in August and will take effect Jan. 1, 2011. Students received a framed copy of the bill signed by the governor.
The new law, which is supported by the California State PTA, California Association of Private Special Education Schools and the California Alliance of Child and Family Services, provides an opportunity for nonpublic, nonsectarian schools to incorporate the use of technology when customizing teaching strategies and curriculum for students with special needs such as autism spectrum disorders, pervasive developmental disorders and developmental delays. In other states, technology-based learning tools have been shown to help students learn skills for use in future jobs and in independent living.
Spectrum Center's state-certified nonpublic schools and public school integrated collaborative classrooms provide special education services to students ages five to 22 with a wide array of special needs, such as autism spectrum disorders (ASD), developmental delays, behavioral challenges, pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) and emotional disturbance.

God cannot be tempted. Jesus was tempted. Therefore, Jesus cannot be God.
James 1:13, "Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone." It also says in Heb. 4:15, "For we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin."
Answering this objection is a bit more difficult than answering the other objections to Christ's deity because it deals with an area of scripture that is not explicitly clear: the relation between the divine and human natures of Jesus. We see that Jesus has two natures as is taught in the chart below, but how they relate is not clarified in scripture.
Jesus as one person with two natures
He is worshiped (Matt. 2:2, 11; 14:33; 28:9)
He worshiped the Father (John 17)
We see from scripture that Jesus' human nature never existed apart from the union of His divine nature. We also see in scripture that God cannot sin, and that in Christ dwelt the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form (John 1:1, 14; Col. 2:9). Therefore, since we acknowledge that Jesus was divine, we could easily conclude that it was not possible for Jesus to have sinned. On the other hand, Jesus was truly man. Therefore, it is fair to say that Jesus could have been truly tempted. But, the question persists: if it was not possible for Jesus to have sinned, then how could He be truly tempted? I do not know if I have a sufficient answer to this, but I will offer one anyway.
First of all, is it possible for God to be tempted? Yes it is. Psalm 106:13-15 says, "They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel, 14But craved intensely in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 15So He gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease among them." (NASB). The Hebrew word for "tempt" here is nasaw. According to the Enhanced Strong's Lexicon, it means to "to test, try, prove, tempt, assay, put to the proof or test." The NIV says, "they put God to the test." The KJV says, "and tempted God in the desert." The NKJV says, "and tested God in the desert." The 1901 ASV says, "and tempted God in the desert." Therefore, we can see that God was "tempted in the desert." Yet, this temptation in no way negates the divinity of God Himself.
In the New Testament, when Jesus is tempted in Matt. 4, the word for tempt is peirazo. Again, according to the Enhanced Strong's Lexicon, it means "to try whether a thing can be done, 2) to try, make trial of, test: for the purpose of ascertaining his quantity or what he thinks or how he will behave himself; 2c) to try or test one's faith, virtue, character, by enticement to sin."
We can see in both cases that it was God who was tested. In the Old Testament, God was being tempted, that is, being put the test in the wilderness even as Jesus was being tempted (put the test) in the wilderness in the New Testament. This temptation can occur without God sinning. Furthermore, this temptation or testing is not a challenge to the deity of Christ any more than it was a challenge the the divinity of God in the Old Testament.
In addition, all that Jesus did, He did by looking to the Father. Jesus said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner." (John 5:19). Also, Jesus said, "I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me." (John 5:30).
In Matt. 12:22-32 Jesus was casting out demons. The Pharisees accused Jesus of doing this by the power of the devil. Jesus replied to them that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit would not be forgiven. Why did he say this? I believe that it is because Jesus did none of his miracles out of his own divine nature but did them as a man working through and by the Holy Spirit who indwelt Him. Therefore, Jesus was casting out demons by the power of the Holy Spirit. We see that Jesus' miracles began after his baptism, and that is when the Holy Spirit descended upon him.
Jesus came as a man in order to fulfill the law of God and to be the sacrifice for sin. He did this as a man. When He resisted the temptations of the devil, He quoted scripture--as a man. He did not at that time rely on His divine nature when going about His earthly ministry in Israel. As a man, He was tempted; and as a man, He resisted temptation by relying on God's word. He cast out demons by the Holy Spirit and not by His own divine nature. Therefore, Jesus was tempted in His human nature--not in His divine. He did not rely on His divine "side" to help Him out. Instead, He completely relied on the Father, the Holy Spirit, and God's word to successfully resist the temptations that came to Him.
Therefore, I conclude that Jesus could not have sinned, but that He could be tempted; that is, He could have a sinful option presented to Him--as was presented to God in the wilderness--yet Jesus would not have sinned.

development project, it must find a way to record the equivalent of a $50 million loss on its financial reports. When a venture capital firm takes a loss, it is a private matter not reported on any public income statement. On the other hand, if the investment succeeds in creating a viable business, a public company can acquire that business and place it on their balance sheet at effectively no cost. Even in the current downturn, he said, his firm is approached by companies that want to bring the products of young firms to the marketplace, either through acquisition or through partnership.
Another consequence of the growth of the venture capital industry is that it is much more competitive. This business "used to be a bunch of middle-aged technology executives investing in deals with their friends," said Mr. Domenik. "It has become much larger, more institutional, multinational, multiracial, broad based." The competition is driving firms to invest in earlier-stage, higher-risk activities. Some of the projects Mr. Domenik's firm is pursuing involve university professors in their laboratories supported by government grants. "Every one of these are early enough and risky enough," he said, "that it keeps me awake at night."
With the growth of the venture industry, individual firms have specialized. Some invest at very early stages, like Sevin Rosen; others invest at later stages of development. Mr. Domenik's firm, after 20 years, always invests during the early stages, specializing in technology and practicing a hands-on approach.
An example of the companies Sevin Rosen has invested in is Capstone Turbine. Eight years ago this company was the risky but promising idea of a group of former rocket engineers who wanted to develop a new microturbine technology for distributed power generation and other uses. This technology, which had received early-stage support from several government initiatives, showed great promise but was far from commercial readiness. After more than $200 million of development work, the technology had proven to be reliable, versatile, and popular, and the once risky investment has paid off in a successful IPO and rapid subsequent growth.1
Mr. Domenik closed by saying he would like to see a solid-state lighting initiative succeed. It has excellent technical content, he said, as well as huge
Capstone Turbine Corp. went public in June 2000. Its line of MicroTurbines operate on the principle of a jet engine and can use not only natural gas, diesel, kerosene, and propane but also underutilized or waste fuels, such as oilfield gases. MicroTurbines power hybrid-electric vehicles, convert waste gases into electricity, run micro-cogeneration plants, and perform other functions.

WASHINGTON, January 6, 2012 — Is the Golden Boy of Cycling about to 'fess up? Will Lance Armstrong change direction and finally admit that he used performance-enhancing drugs all those years of touring?
Anonymous sources close to Armstrong have told several news outlets that he is seriously considering admitting that he did.
Last year the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) stripped the 41-year-old cyclist of his seven Tour de Tour titles, claiming that he had been the ring leader of a innovative doping operation that used banned drugs and blood transfusions, which successfully avoided detection. He was also prohibited from participating in all forms of professional sports.
However, a spokesperson for the USADA said it had no comment on the possible confession and Armstrong's attorney Tim Herman had said that Armstrong has not contact USADA or the World Anti-Doping Agency. Herman, when asked if the former champion is about to end the ten years of denial and confess, said, "Lance has to speak for himself on that."
So why confess at this time?
The rumors about Armstrong coming clean at last seem to be a trial balloon to assess the mood of the public and USADA. But there are other strong reasons to own up to the doping charges as well.
One is Livestrong, the anti-cancer charity he founded, after nearly dying from and then defeating testicular cancer. It wants him to come clean for the health of the charity. After losing his titles last fall, Armstrong severed his ties with Livestrong, but as far as the public is concerned, they are still one and the same, which is why Livestrong wants a repentant and not defiant Armstrong.
Also Armstrong, according to the Sunday Telegraph, wants to start competing in sports again, not cycling but in triathlons and running races.
But a confession would mean he could face charges of perjury as well as paying out enormous compensation to former sponsors such as the U.S. Post Office, which sponsored his team between 2000 and 2004.
He also took a personal financial beating as sponsors like Nike, Trek, and Budweiser withdrew their sponsorships. And Armstrong has large legal fees to bear, including being sued for $12 million by an insurance company for bonuses it rewarded to Armstrong.
Obviously, one of the things that Armstrong would look for if he does confess is immunity from perjury charges. Armstrong had sworn under oath that he never used performance-enhancing drugs. What he has to be worried about is that track star and Olympic champion Marion Jones ended up in federal prison for six months, including time in solitary confinement, on perjury charges when she lied to a grand jury about her drug use.
Even if Lance Armstrong finally comes clean, will it make a difference on how the public and the sports world view him? Would he be welcomed into the triathlon? Would he find himself booed once he entered a race? Will a confession help Livestrong gain its momentum as an anti-cancer charity?
There are more questions than answers, as there always have been about Lance Armstrong.
All that is known is that he is vacationing in Hawaii with his family this week and will talk to his lawyer when he returns about his options. Stay tuned for the next twist in the Armstrong saga.

US Futures Up On GM Results, Unemployment Claims
Wall Street gnawed on a muddle of economic data and corporate earnings news Thursday, then sent stock indexes lower for a second day.
Disappointing April sales results from big retailers set the bleak tone early on. Costco, Macy's and Target, among others, reported sales that were weaker than analysts had predicted. Colder weather and renewed concerns about the economy weighed on shoppers.
GM shares fell 2.4 percent after the automaker said its first-quarter profit declined, mainly because of weakness in Europe.Fears of a global financial freeze-up caused by the European debt crisis have receded, but many now worry that Europe's recession will hurt sales by American exporters such as GM and Caterpillar. Caterpillar lost 1.9 percent. European stocks closed mostly lower, giving up earlier gains, after signs that European Central Bank will not inject more cash into the region's fragile banking system. Trading of U.S. stocks was uneven because investors were "balancing between a weak close for European stocks and trying to bet on what (the monthly jobs report) will look like," said Peter Tchir, who runs the hedge fund TF Market Advisors. The labor market has been on traders' minds all week because the government's monthly jobs report is due out Friday. The final major indicator before that announcement was positive: The number of people applying for unemployment benefits fell last week by the most in three months. The conflicting economic indicators offered little direction for major U.S. stock indexes. They opened down, rose slightly in the first 15 minutes of trading then turned lower. Eight of the 10 industry groups in the Standard & Poor's 500 index fell. Two rose, but barely. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 61.98 points, or 0.5 percent, to 13,206.59. The S&P 500 dropped 10.74, or 0.8 percent, to 1,391.57. The Nasdaq composite average slid 35.55, or 1.2 percent, to 3,024.30

NFL GMs Buddy Nix, Mark Dominik caught shooting the breeze during prank phone callon March 13, 2013 @ 6:10 am (Updated: 6:28 am - 3/13/13 )
Recently, a couple of pranksters called up two pizza joints and conferenced the calls together so that each shop thought the other shop was ordering a pizza. The pranksters recorded the confusion, and then posted the results online. Hilarity ensued.
Well, this time out - the same thing happened to a couple of high-powered NFL general managers.
A couple of 20-year-old guys called the front office of the Buffalo Bills, told the receptionist they were the GM from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mark Dominik, and asked to speak to the Buffalo Bills GM, Buddy Nix. They were stunned when they were put through. They panicked and hung up immediately.
Then Buddy Nix called them back. They ignored it. He called back. Again, they ignored it. He kept calling for the rest of the day and the following morning. So these pranksters decided to call the other GM, Mark Dominick, and pretend to be Buddy Nix. As that call was being put through, Nix called them once again - the two conferenced the two calls and then listened in.
The two just shoot the breeze for about six minutes. At one point, they start talking about some of their problem players like the Bills' high-priced quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.
"We're still struggling here with our quarterback," Nix tells Dominick. "He's going to have to do something or we're going to [...] we just can't afford that kind of money for a guy doing a back up job."
There apparently were consequences to this prank. After this audio went public yesterday, the Bills, late in the afternoon, released their quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Catholic Bishops Courageous Stand For Religious Freedom Continues: No to Recent HHS Accomodation Comments
In a statement from Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York the Bishops weighed in on the recent alleged "accomodation" offered by the Obama Administration last Friday. The answer was clear, principled, uncompromising and courageous. I expected nothing less from this man who is such a great gift to the Church in the United States during this critical hour in the history of both Church and Nation. Continue Reading

I still think ultimately this mandate will fall away. Let the system work, the government will lose and this will fade away. But in this debate I see a lot of hypocrisy.
I have yet to hear of anyone who has dropped their employer provided health plan because they cover contraception etc. I have no one protest just about every grocery store chain in the country or pharmacy chain for the availability of these products.
Seems like we care more about institutions than we do people, otherwise the fight would have been happening long ago. I think the bishops would be better served fighting for the souls of their flocks than worrying about insurance plans. I personally believe its the reason that so many are not connecting with any of this. I really view this as one of those things that is Caesars. If the people running these organizations have done their jobs, not a penny will be spent on people in their organizations using these things.
The law is never going to convert people's hearts. You can pass around the 5 nonnegotiables all you want....would be better if you shared the good news versus the list of things you can't do. Expectations are too high for those who have never given their lives to Christ. And all the screaming and yelling does nothing to do that.

I concur. It is our responsibility to inform ourselves and yet I learned the teachings as I aged. I had many teachers who provided me insight along the way.
Sadly, I fall short and find myself asking the Lord's forgiveness. My point is that I don't place a great deal of blame on the Church leaders but a certain amount must apply.
I do not write to point fingers. I write to encourage others to speak to their pastors and clergy about speaking up. Let them know when their sermons are good and when they are lacking. Let them know they may have to offend someone when preaching the Lord's message. Ask them about the five non-negotiables and if they understand them to be as their title suggests.
They are the shepherds and we are the flock.
I wish to follow the shepherd that will me to heaven. The pathway may be more difficult and yet the reward is greater we can imagine.
May God bless his Church and this nation.

Robert: Thank you for your explanation. I guess it is difficult for me to understand why every Catholic doesn't know about the 5 non-negotiables. I hear it from the pulpit in my parish all the time. And, even if some Catholics belong to a more "liberal" parish, it would seem that common sense and the "natural law" would already be written in our hearts that the "big 5" are abominations. I think, it is not that Catholics don't know, they don't care. These people are apostates. I have the utmost privilege of being able to kneel before the Blessed Sacrament twice a week. There is also another woman who has the same hour that I do. She kneels before Our Lord, yet strongly supports Obama. She is my age, so I'm assuming she has been a Catholic? as long as I have. There is no way that she is unaware of the "big 5." I guess the point I'm trying to make is that it breaks my heart to see so many people blaming the Church's clergy. If we love our Faith as we should, it is up to us to make sure we know it inside out. Jesus said "Seek and you shall find." I guess there are too many Catholics? that don't care enough to learn their Faith Learing about our Faith is a lifetime journey. Like one of the priests in my parish said one day in his sermon. "Are you Catholics really practicing your Faith or are you "pagans" that just come to Church?" I enjoyed the dialogue with you. You made some very good points. Especially, about Pelosi, Fluke and some bishops. But these bishops can do no harm to Catholics who really know and love their Faith. God bless.

We must support Cardinal Dolan. He is fighting on behalf of all Christians of conscience- not just Catholics.
I personally loathe the whole health care legislation. It's just one step in trying to get the U.S. into "universal" health care. This country is too large for that to be managed effectively.

Robert, I share your opinion. So far, very little has been said about Religious Liberty from the pulpits of my diocese.

Dear Joann,
If my comments implied that Cardinal Dolan assisted the Democratic Party in bringing us to where we are now I chose my words poorly.
What I meant to convene is this: Several Catholic groups provided voters with the 'FIVE NON-NEGOTIABLES ISSUES FOR A CATHOIC VOTER". The list included:
1. Abortion 2. Euthanasia 3. Fetal Stem Cell Research 4. Human Cloning 5. Homosexual Marriage
My canvassing of comments from Cardinals, Priests and Bishops found no mention of the five non-negotiables referenced with Cardinal Dolan. The USCCB voter guide was ambigious at best.
Cardinal Dolan's voice is enormous for Catholics in the United States. His voice could have been clearer prior to the 2008 and 2012 presidential elections.
The point I tried to make is that Cardinal Dolan, Cardinal DiNardo and all members of the USCCB could have made the five non-negotiables the bedrock of their conversation points prior to the past two elections. This lack of clarity on their part has played a role (however large is undeterminable) in allowing many Catholics to accept the loss of unborn lives, stem cell research, homosexual marriage to be the aceeptable price of providing healthcare for all, making millions more dependent on the government for food, enslaving future generations with an enormous debt, regardless of their underlying evils. Isn't it troubling that Sandra Fluke, Cecile Richards, Nancy Pelosi, and some Bishops all stand in an unforseen lock of arms behind the Democratic Party while at that same time they vote to take God out of their platform. Did anyonelse hear the cock crow three times during the Democrats convention?
By not speaking clearly many Catholics have equated feeding the poor with American Tax Dollars taken by force as the same moral equivalent as saving the unborn.
I hope this better expains my thoughts. Am I proud of Cardinal Dolan, YES. Am I wanting more from the leader of our Catholic faith in the U.S.A. YES.
These thoughts are those of a humble sinner.

It is time for the Bishops to start treating the HHS mandate as a moral issue. If religious liberty means that you can believe and behave according to your beliefs, then religious liberty is worthless. At some point, the arbitrator of religious liberty must decide whose religious liberty takes precedence. Ultimately, either Catholics will not be allowed to impose our beliefs on the culture or the culture will impose its beliefs on Catholics. The HHS mandate is an attempt to do the latter..
1 year ago
Robert: Could you be more specific? Maybe my old mind missed something, but how did Cardinal Dolan "help" get us where we are? Since Roe vs. Wade, "true" Catholics have never supported the Democratic party. God bless.

Thank you, heed the advice, we must speak up, the time is now. All Americans.

In the first place instead of "appreciating" , amounting to profess faith in the wrong person, to the Obama gesture, he should have taken it with a pinch of salt like some other sects of Christianity did.
