Temple Mount

From this article:

"According to an Aggada in the Talmud, the world was created beginning with the Foundation Stone on the Temple Mount..."

(Emphasis mine.)

The veil, one can easily see, remains. If only they understood that the world was made by Him who is the Foundation Stone.

(Please observe: I recognize, of course, that Wikipedia is far from an authority regarding much of anything; still less Judaism. That is, like me, they need hardly be considered scholarly. Even still--for I do heart me some Wikipedia--what is written at our online encyclopedia sometimes catches one's eye; as did what I have here cited. And my citation would be irrelevant save for the relevance of theirs. Their citation is the fact that Jewish rabbinic writings believe the world was created, &tc.; my observation--that Christians believe essentially the same thing, saving only that we understand the "who" of this cornerstone--is, I think, equally relevant. Adieu.)

Cancer, Eternal Life, and Christianity.

If I remember--and get the time to do so later--I will write more about this.

First. I find it not a little ironic that what gives Cancer cells the ability to live forever (eternal life) is the self-same thing that kills the body.

Second. There is a very interesting parallel to be observed between Christianity and cancer cells. Briefly it is this. Cancer cells are diametrically opposed to our body's continuance. Blood cells promote life; cancer cells destroy.

More later.
