    The primary purpose for the book of Lamentations is to share with you and me, the reader of this book, how those who experienced that death and destruction and devastation felt as they were going through this time of God's judgment. But before we go any further, we need to be very clear about a biblical truth. Now, although God used the Babylonians, and if we read carefully, the book of Jeremiah, not just the Babylonians, but there were other nations around Judah that joined with Babylon in order to take advantage of this time, and they did not do so out of obedience to God.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay Parkway Merritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephone https://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YT https://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1256/29

    UTP376 Simbología en las barajas de cartas

    Barajas tradicionales: Aparecieron en China alrededor del siglo IX o X, y desde allí se difundieron hacia el mundo islámico y Europa. Las primeras barajas europeas aparecen en el siglo XIV, principalmente para juegos de naipes. Tarot: Surgió en Europa en el siglo XV, específicamente en Italia, como un tipo especial de baraja para jugar a un juego llamado tarocchi. Solo más tarde, en los siglos XVIII y XIX, el tarot comenzó a usarse para fines esotéricos y adivinatorios. …… La filología ofrece los siguientes significados: - TAROT es TORAH o la LEY, de origen Hebreo. - TAROT es TROAH o PORTAL, de origen Hebreo. - TAROT es ROTA o RUEDA, de origen latino. - TAROT es ORAT o HABLA, de origen latino. - TAROT es TAR o SENDERO, de origen egipcio. ….. Diccionario de símbolos de Juan Eduardo Cirlot De otro lado, Jung coincide con las seculares intuiciones del Tarot al reconocer dos batallas diversas, pero complementarias en la vida del hombre: a) contra los demás (vía solar), por la situación y la profesión; b ) contra sí mismo (vía lunar), en el proceso de individuación. Estas dos vías corresponden a la reflexión y a la intuición, a la razón práctica y a la razón pura. El temperamento lunar crea primero, luego estudia y com prueba lo que ya sabía; el solar, estudia primero y luego produce. Corresponden estas vías también, hasta cierto punto, a los conceptos de introversión (lunar) y extraversión (solar); a contemplación y acción (34). El juego completo de los naipes, que se designa con el nombre de Tarocco, se compone de 22 arcanos mayores cuyas imágenes son sintéticas y dotadas de un sentido completo hasta cierto punto, y de los 56 arcanos menores, integrando 14 figuras de cuatro series: oros (círculos, discos, ruedas); bastos (mazas, cetros); espadas y copas. El oro simboliza las fuerzas materiales. El basto, el poder de mando. La copa simboliza el sacrificio. La espada, el discernimiento y aplicación de la justicia. Las 22 láminas mayores corresponden a las letras del alfabeto hebreo. En cada color de los arcanos menores se encuentran el Rey, la Dama (Reina), el Caballero (Caballo) y el Valet (Sota) (48). Se han asimilado las series a los poderes que dominan en la tierra y, consecuentemente, a las profesiones dirigentes o superiores: gobierno (basto); ejército (espada); sacerdocio (copa); intelecto (oro), pues los tesoros en todas sus formas simbolizan siempre los bienes espirituales e intelectuales (54). Según Saunier, las imágenes de los arcanos mayores provienen de las pinturas simbólicas del libro egipcio de Thot Hermes, símbolo de la ciencia del universo (49). Sin embargo, Oswald Wirth, a quien seguimos principalmente para desarrollar el simbolismo del Tarot, reconoce que la arqueología no ha descubierto la menor traza de lo que pudiera ser un Tarot egipcio, árabe o incluso alquímico grecoárabe. Sin embargo, señala que la Cábala hubo de ser familiar a los autores del Tarot, por la fijación de 22 arcanos mayores, es decir, en número igual a las letras del alfabeto hebreo, cargadas de simbolismo, y a los théraphim, jeroglíficos utilizados por los hebreos para la adivinación. Cree Wirth que Italia es la patria de estas imágenes alegóricas, a causa de que no se le puede negar la prioridad en los naipes. La primera representación de los arcanos mayores data de 1392. Según Eliphas Lévi, «el Tarot es una obra monumental y singular, sencilla y fuerte como la arquitectura de las pirámides, en consecuencia durable como ellas; libro que resume todas las ciencias y cuyas combinaciones infinitas pueden resolver todos los problemas; libro que habla haciendo pensar; acaso la obra maestra del pensamiento hum ano y con certeza una de las cosas más bellas legadas por la Antigüedad». Los 22 arcanos son los siguientes: I, El Juglar. II, La Gran Sacerdotisa. III, La Em peratriz. IV, El Em perador. V, El Gran Sacerdote. VI, El Enam orado. VII, El Carro. VIII, La Justicia. IX, El Ermitaño. X, La Rueda de la Fortuna. XI, La Fuerza. XII, El Ahorcado. X III, La Muerte. XIV, La Templanza. XV, El Diablo. XVI, La Torre herida por el rayo. XVII, Las Estrellas. XVIII, La Luna. XIX, El Sol. XX, El Juicio. XXI, El Mundo. XXII o 0, El Loco. Las láminas I al IX constituyen la vía solar activa, consciente, reflexiva y autónoma. Las láminas X II a XXII, la vía lunar, pasiva, inconsciente, intuitiva y «posesa». No podemos explicar aquí las relaciones que pueden establecerse, las órdenes y significaciones que se derivan de esos enlaces, sin traspasar los límites del estricto simbolismo. Cada una de las imágenes alegóricas se analiza en su sentido particular en el lugar que le corresponde. Sin embargo, queremos transcribir aquí los significados más generales que Eliphas Lévi advierte en los 22 arcanos: I (El ser, el espíritu, la creación). II (El santuario, la ley, el conocimiento, la mujer, la madre, la iglesia). III (El verbo, la fecundidad, la generación en los tres mundos). IV (La puerta, la iniciación, el poder, la piedra cúbica o su base). V (Indicación, demostración, filosofía y religión). VI (Encadenamiento, unión, antagonismo, equilibrio, combinación). VII (Arma, espada, triunfo, realeza). VIII (Balanza, atracción y repulsión, vía, promesa y amenaza). IX (El bien, la m oralidad, la sabiduría). X (Manifestación, fecundidad, cetro paternal). XI (La mano en el acto de tomar y mantener). XII (Ejemplo, enseñanza, lección pública). X III (Dominación y fuerza, renacimiento, creación y destrucción). XIV (Estaciones, cambios de la vida siempre diferente e igual). XV (Magia, elocuencia, comercio, misterio). XVI (Alteraciones, subversiones, debilidades). XVII (Efusiones del pensamiento, influencia moral de la idea sobre las form as, inmortalidad). XVIII (Los elementos, el mundo visible, la luz reflejada, las formas materiales, el simbolismo). XIX (La cabeza, la cima, el príncipe del cielo). XX (Lo vegetativo, la virtud generatriz de la tierra). XXI (Lo sensitivo, el carro, el cuerpo, la vida transitoria). XXII (El microcosmo, el resumen de todo en todo). En estas imágenes se mezclan ideas relativas al mundo exterior y al mundo interior, a las formas y a las jerarquías del pensamiento. Con ellas se intenta crear un orden, más amplio aún que el de doce elementos constituidos por el zodíaco, formando una rueda que contiene todas las posibilidades arquetípicas de la existencia y de la evolución humanas. Diccionario de los símbolos de Jean Chevalier y Alain Gheerbrant Tarot. Juego de cartas sin duda de los más antiguos, el Tarot emplea un mundo de símbolos. No se puede dudar de su enseñanza esotérica, más o menos secretamente transmitida a través de los siglos. El problema de sus orígenes es muy difícil de resolver, si no imposible. Desde Court de Gébelin que, en el siglo XVIII, se apasionó por su interpretación, se han avanzado las teorías más diversas. Venga de la China, de las Indias, de Egipto, sea incluso obra de Thot-Hermes Trimegistos, de bohemios, de alquimistas, de cabalistas o de un hombre sabio entre los sabios, el Tarot presenta de hecho una iconografía netamente medieval, mezclada con símbolos cristianos. 1. Los colores. En su forma más tradicional, la del Tarot de Marsella (el único al que se refieren nuestras descripciones detalladas), el juego se compone de setenta y ocho láminas: cincuenta y seis arcanos menores y veintidós arcanos mayores. [A veces se distinguen las dieciséis figuras de corte de los arcanos menores propiamente dichos, en número de cuarenta]. Todas estas láminas están vivamente coloreadas. Antes de examinar sus significaciones particulares, recordaremos aquí en algunas líneas la simbólica de los colores dominantes del Tarot: ocre rosa (carne), azul, rojo y amarillo. El ocre rosa indica siempre lo que es humano o lo que está ligado a la humanidad (caras, cuerpos, construcciones). El → azul, color nocturno, pasivo y lunar, es el color del secreto, del sentimiento, del ánima, de los valores femeninos por excelencia. El → rojo es el color macho de la fuerza interna, de la energía potencial, de las manifestaciones del animus, de la sangre y del Espíritu. El → amarillo, en fin, con toda su ambivalencia, es al mismo tiempo el color de la tierra y el del sol, el de la riqueza, el de la miel y las cosechas, y el de la luz intelectual en su pureza de oro inalterable. (Para la aplicación detallada de esta simbólica, ver, en su nombre, el estudio de cada arcano mayor). 2. Los arcanos menores. Los arcanos menores comprenden cuatro series o palos: bastos, copas, espadas y oros, de catorce cartas cada uno: rey, dama, caballo, sota y diez cartas numeradas del as al diez (en los juegos de cartas francesas el caballo ha desaparecido, los bastos se han transformado en diamantes, las copas en corazones, las espadas en picas y los oros en tréboles. En la baraja española, en cambio, falta la dama entre las figuras de corte). Estas cuatro series simbolizan los cuatro elementos o los cuatro componentes fundamentales de la vida. El basto es «el Fuego de la acción, el punto de partida necesario de toda evolución» (DELT, 1, 18); pero es también «la varita mágica, el cetro de dominio viril y el padre» (WIRT, 42). La copa es «el Agua fecundante del cielo, lo que enlaza lo creado con lo divino, la vida psíquica» (DELT, 1, 18); pero es también «la copa adivinatoria, la receptividad femenina y la madre» (WIRT, 43). La espada es «el Aire, espíritu que penetra la materia y la informa, formando ese compuesto que será el hombre» (DELT, 1, 19); es también «la espada del evocador, el arma que dibuja una cruz y recuerda así la unión fecunda de los dos principios, macho y hembra; la espada simboliza además una acción penetrante como la del Verbo o la del Hijo» (WIRT, 44). Puede ser interesante confrontar la afirmación de Jung: «las picas están ligadas simbólicamente a la penetración del intelecto y a la muerte» (JUNS, 298). El oro, en fin, es la Tierra: «Descenso bajo tierra por el que comienza toda iniciación (importancia de la → caverna) y que da al hombre el apoyo del mundo en el que está situado» (DELT, 1, 19); o «el disco pentacular, signo de apoyo de la voluntad, materia condensadora de acción espiritual, síntesis que conduce de nuevo el ternario a la unidad, Trinidad o Tri-unidad» (WIRT, 43). Se podría hacer un estudio detallado del simbolismo de estas cincuenta y seis láminas, pero eso nos llevaría demasiado lejos. Señalemos simplemente que están estrechamente ligadas a los arcanos mayores; las encontramos en el primero de ellos, el → Juglar: tiene en sus manos el bastón que asegurará su poder sobre la tierra del oro y sobre sí mismo, mientras que la copa y la espada (reducida a las proporciones de un puñal), que simbolizan las dos vías del hombre en la búsqueda de la iniciación, por el corazón y por la mente, están colocadas sobre su mesa. 3. Los arcanos mayores: caminos iniciáticos. Los arcanos mayores son en sí mismo caminos iniciáticos, cuyas etapas han sido interpretadas de numerosas maneras. Se presentan como la quintaesencia del hermetismo, como los altos grados situados por encima de la masa anónima. Se estudian en detalle bajo el nombre de cada lámina: I. El Juglar. II. La Gran Sacerdotisa. III. La Emperatriz. IV. El Emperador. V. El Sumo Sacerdote. VI. El Enamorado. VII. El Carro. VIII. La Justicia. IX. El Eremita. X. La Rueda de la Fortuna. XI. La Fuerza. XII. El Ahorcado. XIII. Arcano sin nombre (La Muerte). XIV. La Templanza. XV. El Diablo. XVI. La Torre herida por el Rayo. XVII. La Estrella. XVIII. La Luna. XIX. El Sol. XX. El Juicio. XXI. El Mundo. Y sin número, El Loco. 4. Los ternarios y los septenarios. Si dejamos aparte El Loco, que no tiene número, contamos → veintiún arcanos, que se reparten, o bien en siete ternarios, o bien en tres septenarios. En cada ternario, «el primer término es activo por excelencia; el segundo es intermedio: activo respecto al siguiente, pero pasivo respecto al precedente, mientras que el tercero es estrictamente pasivo. El primero corresponde al espíritu, el segundo al alma y el tercero al cuerpo» (WIRT, 68). Así se agrupan: El Juglar (I), La Gran Sacerdotisa (II) y La Emperatriz (III); luego El Emperador (IV), El Sumo Sacerdote (V) y El Enamorado (VI); El Carro (VII), La Justicia (VIII) y El Eremita (IX), etc. La misma distinción —espíritu, alma y cuerpo— se vuelve a encontrar en las relaciones de los tres septenarios: del Juglar (I) al Carro (VII), los valores del espíritu; de La Justicia (VIII) a La Templanza (XIV), los del alma; y, del Diablo (XV) al Mundo (XXI), los del cuerpo. Una misma lámina podrá, pues, interpretarse como espíritu y alma o como alma y cuerpo, según su lugar en el conjunto escogido y según los planos de análisis; por ejemplo, La Emperatriz es cuerpo en el primer conjunto ternario y espíritu en el primer conjunto septenario; las relaciones cambian en el interior de los diferentes conjuntos. Todas las claves de interpretación muestran aspectos diferentes de una misma lámina; ninguna posee un sentido absoluto y definitivo. Es siempre un sistema móvil de relaciones, que exige la mayor flexibilidad de interpretación. En el interior de cada septenario, «los tres primeros arcanos se oponen a los tres siguientes y el séptimo reduce el todo a la unidad» (WIRT, 77); lo cual da valor a la significación sintética del Carro (VII), de La Templanza (XIV) y del Mundo (XXI): dominio de la voluntad en el mundo del espíritu (VII), del equilibrio en el del alma (XIV) y del movimiento perpetuo en el mundo del cuerpo (XXI). 5. Relaciones con el zodíaco y los planetas. Puede allegarse este agrupamiento ternario con la concepción astrológica según la cual la rueda del zodíaco representa, en sus tres posiciones sucesivas, los cuatro elementos: nacimiento o comienzo de la evolución, culminación y caída o involución. Los signos Fuego, Tierra, Aire y Agua, que nacen con Aries, Tauro, Géminis y Cáncer, culminan en Leo, Virgo, Libra y Escorpio, y van hacia su caída en Sagitario, Capricornio, Acuario y Piscis. En el agrupamiento ternario del Tarot, las láminas en que aparecen netamente los símbolos del zodíaco tienen una posición que corresponde: el Sagitario de El Enamorado (VI) está en caída, la balanza de La Justicia (VIII) en culminación, así como el león de La Fuerza (XI), mientras que los gemelos de El Sol (XIX) están al comienzo de una evolución. Pero si se trata de ir más lejos y reconstruir un Tarot astrológico, tropezamos con profundas divergencias entre los autores. «Hay tantas correspondencias diferentes de los arcanos con los planetas y el zodíaco como autores especializados en el estudio del Tarot. La fantasía más absoluta reina en este dominio. Oswald Wirth ve, por ejemplo, en El Juglar a Mercurio; Fomalhaut, al Sol; Th. Terestchenko, a Neptuno, etc. Sin pretender dar una lista completa, fácilmente se pueden encontrar para ciertas láminas una buena docena de correspondencias astrológicas diferentes y a menudo contradictorias. Ante semejante plétora de hipótesis, A. Volguine propone, en L’utilisation du Tarot en Astrologie Judiciaire (París, 1933), hacer corresponder los arcanos mayores no con los planetas y con los signos, sino con las casas horoscópicas, en las que cada sector representa un dominio bien definido. Así El Juglar y La Muerte se ligan a la primera Casa del horóscopo; La Gran Sacerdotisa y La Templanza a la segunda, y así sucesivamente. Los arcanos del Tarot pueden considerarse también por parejas; cada uno de ellos manifiesta, en la dualidad componente, una analogía más o menos evidente de los contrarios: la vinculación entre láminas y casas horoscópicas explica la razón de semejante acoplamiento» (A. V.). 6. La interpretación cabalística. A los ojos de los cabalistas que han estudiado el Tarot, se imponen varias observaciones. Hay tantos arcanos mayores como letras en el alfabeto hebreo. Su número «es exactamente el de las veintidós vías de la Sabiduría, el de los canales intersefiróticos que unen entre sí las diez sephiroth, los sublimes principios metafísicos de la cábala judía» (RIJT, 198). Las propias sephiroth, atributos místicos de Dios, se desarrollan en forma de trinidades en cada una de las cuales dos extremos están unidos por un término medio (MARD, 154) y concuerdan con el sentido simbólico de las láminas: al Juglar, causa y punto de partida de todas las cosas, corresponde la Corona sefirótica; a La Gran Sacerdotisa, la Sabiduría; a La Emperatriz, la Inteligencia; al Emperador, la Grandeza y la Misericordia; al Sumo Sacerdote, el Rigor, o el Juicio; a los Enamorados, la Belleza; al Carro, la Victoria; a La Justicia, la Gloria; al Eremita, el Fundamento, y a La Rueda de la Fortuna, que representa el torbellino involutivo, el Reino (WIRT, 71-73). Como hay correspondencia entre todas las láminas, se puede desarrollar a partir de ahí toda una simbólica cabalística del Tarot, pues, en la cadena que contiene los diferentes grados de la esencia, todo está ligado de una manera mágica (SCHS, 141). 7. El antropocentrismo del Tarot. Tarot alquímico, tarot mágico o incluso masónico (WIRT, 281-286): todas las claves de interpretación han sido empleadas siempre que se hayan encontrado uno o dos signos simbólicos relacionados con tal o cual doctrina; las hemos señalado al pasar en el examen particular de cada arcano. Pero el Tarot resulta, antes que nada, antropocéntrico, y las figuras que lo componen tienen una significación psicológica y cósmica: concierne al hombre en sí mismo y en el mundo, incluso aunque no nos muestren personajes humanos, como La Rueda de la Fortuna (X) y La Luna (XVIII), en donde los animales no son más que caricaturas del hombre. Para estudiar ahora el simbolismo del Tarot sobre esta base, hay que disponer los arcanos o en forma de rueda —lo que sitúa El Loco entre El Juglar y El Mundo— o en dos filas: la primera, del I al XI, y la segunda, en sentido inverso, del XII a El Loco. Se ve entonces claramente que el eje vertical del Tarot une los arcanos VI y XVII, El Enamorado y La Estrella, siendo el uno la afectividad y la otra la esperanza, como si estos dos valores fuesen el eje alrededor del cual gravitan todos los demás. …..-…… 8. Una vía de evolución hacia la sabiduría. Solo frente al mundo, el hombre busca la vía de la sabiduría en la adquisición de un doble dominio: el del mundo exterior y el de su universo interior. Este dominio procede de una iniciación progresiva que distingue asimismo dos vías, dos modos o dos fases principales, con predominio activo o pasivo, solar o lunar. «El primero se basa en la exaltación del principio de iniciativa individual, en la razón y la voluntad. Conviene al sabio que está siempre en plena posesión de sí mismo y no cuenta más que con los recursos de su propia personalidad, sin esperar ningún socorro de las influencias exteriores. Resulta muy diferente en el segundo, en donde sucede exactamente lo contrario que en el primero. Lejos de desarrollar lo que se tiene en uno mismo y de dar según toda la expansión de las propias energías íntimas, se trata para el místico de ponerse en estado de recibir, en toda la medida de una receptividad especialmente cultivada» (WIRT, 49). Así, lo racional y lo místico, como lo masculino y lo femenino, se oponen y se complementan dos a dos. La Fuerza (XI) y El Ahorcado (XII), por ejemplo, no son más que los dos aspectos de un mismo símbolo: fuerza exterior del arcano XI y fuerza completamente interiorizada y espiritualizada del Ahorcado (XII). En este sentido igualmente, El Juglar, a la búsqueda de la iniciación, se topa en primer lugar con La Gran Sacerdotisa (II), detentadora de los secretos del mundo: para leer en su libro, se necesita la inteligencia de La Emperatriz (III) y del Emperador (IV). Con El Sumo Sacerdote (V) la iniciación se hace efectiva: el hombre va a conseguir elevarse a través de las pruebas de los otros arcanos, entre las cuales la primera será la tensión del Enamorado (VI), centro de la primera hilera de láminas, pues sin impulso efectivo nada es posible. Después de esta elección que lo compromete, el señor del Carro (VII) corre el riesgo de abusar de su poder y de enorgullecerse de su fuerza; La Justicia (VIII) le recuerda la ley del indispensable equilibrio, y, fuerte en su ideal, partirá como Eremita (IX) a través del mundo; pero, en la medida en que El Eremita busca la verdad, juzga y pone en movimiento La Rueda de la Fortuna (X) que da lo que él debe recibir, según su estado interior y su propio deseo de evolución. Sólo La Fuerza (XI) puede parar La Rueda de La Fortuna. Al término de esta primera vía, el iniciado ha encontrado lo que buscaba; La Fuerza tiene el mismo tocado que El Juglar: la lemniscata o signo de lo infinito. ………. 9. La fase mística. Con El Ahorcado (XII), principio de la segunda hilera, el iniciado entra en un mundo invertido en donde los medios materiales resultan ineficaces: es la vía mística y pasiva. El arcano XIII sin nombre nos indica que la muerte, cuya lámina es roja, color de sangre y de fuego, corta y quema las ilusiones; lejos de ser el fin, es un comienzo. Pero en esta vida nueva que se nos promete no hay que forzar las etapas: las exigencias de La Templanza (XIV) son las mismas que las del Eremita (IX); es únicamente tras haber cobrado conciencia de sus límites y adquirido el equilibrio interior cuando el hombre podrá afrontar al Diablo (XV), símbolo de la tentación más grave, la que nos promete poderes ocultos, tan grandes como los claros poderes de Dios, pero que tejen otros tantos lazos con la potencia diabólica. Desgraciadamente, todas las construcciones del orgullo humano están condenadas a la caída, y he ahí La Torre herida por el Rayo (XVI). A partir de ahora, ya no le queda al hombre más que La Estrella de Venus (XVII), estrella doble de la esperanza y del amor, centro de la segunda hilera de láminas y base del eje vertical del Tarot. Como la Luna acompaña a la estrella en el cielo físico, así la sigue (XVIII) en el mundo simbólico del Tarot, portadora de los valores del pasado, poseedora de todo lo inconsciente, dominio de lo imaginario en donde se forman los sueños. Sin la alianza de la Estrella y de la Luna, no podríamos afrontar la luz y el fuego del Sol (XIX), arcano de la iluminación total, bajo el cual, por primera vez, el hombre ya no está solo. A partir de ahora, puede ser juzgado en su totalidad, en sí mismo y en sus obras. Su hijo, con los ojos del ángel del Juicio (XX), simbolizará el testigo. Ha alcanzado la cumbre de la iniciación, y El Mundo (XXI) no es entonces más que una especie de síntesis de lo que ha obtenido. «Ha logrado operar la transmutación del mundo objetivo en valor psíquico, es decir, en lenguaje alquímico, que habiendo partido del Juglar de la materia prima ha terminado en el oro» (DELT, 11, 488). Así, mientras que la primera vía de la iniciación terminaba en La Fuerza (XI), «patrimonio del Juglar que ha realizado su programa» (WIRT, 53), la segunda vía, la de la mística, parte del Ahorcado (XII) y nos conduce al Loco, cuya pasividad toma aquí un carácter sublime (WIRT, 55). Es el que, tras haber obtenido de este mundo todo lo que él puede dar, reconoce que no posee nada válido y retorna en consecuencia a lo desconocido, a lo incognoscible, que precede y que sigue a nuestra vida. Ante este doble atolladero, no podemos más que continuar buscando, pero habiendo admitido cabalmente en nuestra inteligencia, y aceptado en los sufrimientos de nuestra carne, que hay entre Dios y nosotros una diferencia de naturaleza; la única relación posible con él reside en la esperanza, el abandono y el amor. Tal es la última lección del Tarot concebido como un camino iniciático. …….. 10. Los arquetipos en el Tarot. Pero las dos vías que hemos distinguido se prestan aún a otras interpretaciones. Jung ve en ellas los dos aspectos de la lucha del hombre contra los demás y contra sí mismo: la vía solar de la extraversión y de la acción, de la reflexión práctica y teórica con motivaciones racionales; y la vía lunar de la introversión, de la contemplación y de la intuición, en donde las motivaciones son de orden sensible, imaginativo y global. Puede señalarse también que se ven aparecer en el Tarot varios arquetipos esenciales: la madre (Gran Sacerdotisa, Emperatriz, Juicio), el caballo (Carro), el hombre viejo (Emperador, Sumo Sacerdote, Eremita, Juicio), la rueda (Rueda de la Fortuna), la muerte, el diablo, la casa o la torre (Torre herida por el Rayo, Luna), el pájaro (Estrella, Mundo), la virgen, la fuente, la estrella (Estrella), la luna, el sol, los gemelos (Diablo, Sol), el ala (Enamorados, Templanza, Diablo, Juicio, Mundo), la llama (Torre herida por el Rayo)… Cualquiera que sea el valor de todos estos puntos de vista, no debemos olvidar que el Tarot no se somete enteramente a ninguna tentativa de sistematización: queda siempre en él algo que nos escapa. Su aspecto adivinatorio no es el menos difícil de interpretar. No lo abordaremos aquí, pues las combinaciones son indefinidas y las interpretaciones, incluso aunque se apoyen en los símbolos que hemos intentado esclarecer, exigen una educación de la imaginación, que no se adquiere más que por una larga práctica y una gran reserva de juicio. M. C. ……. 7. La interpretación alquímica. Tanto como la cabalística, es importante la interpretación alquímica. Lo es, no sólo porque fue hecha por los propios alquimistas (véase, por ejemplo, el Tarot alquímico de Salomón Trismosin, Splendor Solis), sino también porque el lenguaje simbólico de las láminas utiliza una materia de experiencia que, aun siendo diferente, es sin embargo idéntica a la de los alquimistas: el alma y el cuerpo humanos. Desde la Edad Media, se impuso en el simbolismo alquímico un esquema general, que distingue tres fases sucesivas: la obra al negro (putrefacción, disolución), la obra al blanco (purificación, sublimación), y la obra al rojo (coagulación, unificación); estas fases corresponden también al cuerpo, al alma y al espíritu. Estas tres fases de la Gran Obra están claramente marcadas en las láminas del Tarot. La Muerte, con su guadaña que descuartiza los miembros, corresponde al primer estado: el de la disolución de los elementos, el de la putrefacción de la materia. La Templanza expresa los valores del alma, el equilibrio, la pureza, la armonía. El Sol representa el estado final de la conjunción, la iluminación, el matrimonio alquímico. Entre estas tres láminas, encontramos la fórmula simbólica de la Gran Obra: Solve et coagula. Toda alquimia simbólica contiene la clave de esta triple transformación, que conduce a la transfiguración del ser. 8. El simbolismo de los colores. El simbolismo de los colores está igualmente ligado a la alquimia. En las tres fases precedentes, la alquimia relaciona tres colores básicos: el negro (nigredo), el blanco (albedo) y el rojo (rubedo). Al proceso de putrefacción corresponde el ennegrecimiento de la materia, que se transforma en polvo y se vuelve negra como la tierra (primer estado). Después viene el estado de la sublimación: entonces el color es blanco, la materia purificada pierde su peso y asciende a lo alto del atanor (segundo estado). Por fin, sobreviene la coagulación; se forma la piedra filosofal, roja, como el oro vivo (tercer estado). Estos tres colores dominan el simbolismo del Tarot. El negro se encuentra con frecuencia en las vestiduras de las figuras, en el suelo, en el color del cielo (como en La Torre o La Luna). El blanco está en los cuerpos, en las alas de los ángeles, en la luna, en las flores. El rojo aparece en las túnicas, en los techos, en las decoraciones; y, sobre todo, es el color del Sol. A estos tres colores, hay que añadir el azul, símbolo del cielo, del infinito, del más allá, que representa el alma en sus valores espirituales, el alma del alma. Y el amarillo, el oro, el color del Sol, la luz del espíritu. Hay que saber ver los colores más allá de su sentido pictórico, como una forma de expresión de la materia misma, y como un símbolo activo que participa en la función mágica del Tarot. 9. El lenguaje de las manos. Entre todos los elementos simbólicos de las láminas, uno de los más importantes es el lenguaje de las manos. En todas las láminas del Tarot, las manos de los personajes están dibujadas con suma precisión, como si transmitieran un mensaje particular. Muchas figuras tienen una mano tendida y la otra escondida: gesto significativo, en la tradición del esoterismo occidental, en la que mostrar una mano y esconder la otra es expresar que sólo se revela un aspecto de la realidad y que el otro permanece oculto, porque está reservado al que sabe. Otros gestos son más explícitos aún: la mano levantada con dos dedos indica la bendición, el gesto sacral (como en el Sumo Sacerdote o el Diablo). Las manos que se juntan y tocan (como las de los amantes o las del Sol) significan la unión, la reconciliación de los contrarios. Otras veces la mano agarra un objeto simbólico: un cetro (poder), una espada (justicia), una antorcha (conocimiento), una balanza (equilibrio), una rueda (destino), un libro (sabiduría). La relación entre la mano y el objeto es también significativa: indica cómo actúa el personaje sobre el mundo, qué poder ejerce o cómo lo recibe. El gesto de la mano no es sólo decorativo, sino un verdadero signo que permite descifrar el sentido profundo de la lámina. En la iconografía tradicional, los gestos son portadores de sentido. La gestualidad del Tarot se sitúa dentro de esta tradición simbólica que liga el movimiento del cuerpo al lenguaje del alma y a la acción del espíritu. 10. La función del número. En el Tarot, cada lámina está numerada. Esta numeración no es arbitraria; forma parte integrante del simbolismo. Cada número es portador de una significación precisa, tanto en la tradición pitagórica como en la cabalística. En el Tarot, el número cumple una doble función: por una parte, organiza las láminas en una secuencia lógica; por otra, aporta un sentido simbólico que completa la imagen. La numeración permite establecer correspondencias, relaciones, simetrías, progresiones entre las cartas. Por ejemplo, el número tres, que aparece en la Emperatriz, expresa la expansión, la fecundidad, el desarrollo. El número cuatro, del Emperador, es el símbolo de la estabilidad, de la organización, del mundo construido. El número siete, asociado al Carro, significa la victoria del espíritu sobre la materia, el ciclo completo más allá del seis (que representa la armonía natural). El número doce, del Colgado, está relacionado con la prueba iniciática, con la inversión de los valores profanos. Además, los números permiten realizar operaciones simbólicas: sumas, restas, multiplicaciones. Así, el número del Diablo (XV) se obtiene sumando los números del Papa (V) y del Enamorado (VI), lo que puede interpretarse como una perversión de los valores religiosos y amorosos. La carta sin número, el Loco, introduce una dimensión diferente: la del infinito, de lo incalculable, de lo que escapa a la razón. La función del número en el Tarot no es la de cuantificar, sino la de cualificar: cada número es una cualidad, una esencia que se manifiesta en la imagen correspondiente. El estudio numerológico del Tarot permite así una lectura más profunda y estructurada del conjunto del juego. 11. La función de la imagen. En el Tarot, la imagen es el vehículo principal del sentido. No se trata de ilustraciones decorativas, sino de verdaderos ideogramas, es decir, unidades significativas donde cada elemento —forma, color, disposición, mirada, gesto— transmite un mensaje. La imagen tarótica no representa tanto una escena como un estado, una estructura del alma, una función psíquica o espiritual. Estas imágenes no están concebidas para ser comprendidas de inmediato. Al contrario, se dirigen al inconsciente, como los símbolos oníricos. De ahí que el Tarot actúe como un espejo interior: lo que se ve en la carta depende también de quien la mira. Esta ambigüedad controlada no es un defecto, sino una riqueza. La imagen tarótica es polisémica: permite múltiples lecturas sin perder su coherencia. Por ejemplo, la imagen del Ermitaño puede ser interpretada como soledad, sabiduría, espera, prudencia, guía interior, o incluso como oscuridad, aislamiento, fatiga. Todo ello es pertinente, porque la imagen no impone un único sentido, sino que abre un abanico de posibilidades que se actualizan según el contexto. Además, las imágenes del Tarot están estructuradas para facilitar asociaciones. Un gesto en una carta se repite, con variaciones, en otra. Un objeto (el bastón, la corona, la espada) aparece en distintos contextos, generando resonancias. Este tejido de relaciones internas convierte el Tarot en un sistema visual coherente, casi en una lengua simbólica. La función de la imagen en el Tarot es, por tanto, análoga a la del símbolo en los sueños, o a la del mito en las culturas tradicionales: condensar un saber experiencial, no discursivo, que sólo se revela en la contemplación y en la práctica. Leer el Tarot es aprender a ver, más que a interpretar. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

    ⁠EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE GREAT⁠ in Theaters now!Director Jon S BairdWriter Steven RogersThe Smart family's life takes a dramatic turn when tragedy forces them to confront their oversized dreams, struggles with identity and chaotic regional theater life. As theater manager parents (Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston) work to support their two sons — a hunky football star (Jack Champion) and his flamboyant, theater-loving younger brother (Benjamin Evan Ainsworth) — unexpected circumstances compel them to move in with Janney's estranged brother (Chris Cooper). What begins as a temporary arrangement soon unravels years of familial tension, prompting each member to reevaluate their place in the world and in their relationships.Director Jon S. Baird orchestrates this warmly observant comedy-drama with a perfect balance of sharp humor and poignant family dynamics. The powerhouse cast delivers nuanced performances, with Janney and Cranston demonstrating once again why they are among the most versatile actors working today. Their chemistry grounds the film's journey through artistic ambition and life's unexpected detours, while Cooper adds layers of complexity as the long-estranged brother. Beyond its headline-grabbing ensemble, the film's tender exploration of how families navigate change and disappointment resonates with authenticity as these deeply human characters stumble toward reconciliation and renewal in this stirring celebration of life's messy beauty.—Jarod NeeceDirector ⁠Jon S.

    2025 July 6 | This week, Clayton Carlson preaches from Daniel 4:28-37 to continue our Exiles sermon series on the dangers of pride. | Nebuchadnezzar's Humiliation 28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 and the king answered and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?” 31 While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you, 32 and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.” 33 Immediately the word was fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from among men and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws. Nebuchadnezzar Restored 34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation; 35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?” 36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

    Send us a textEver faced a moment when everything was stacked against you? Daniel's life in Babylon reveals what genuine faith looks like when confronted with impossible situations. Daniel and his friends encountered three life-threatening challenges that mirror our own spiritual battles: fear when Nebuchadnezzar demanded the impossible, fire when refusing to bow to idols, and fangs when Daniel's prayer life earned him a trip to the lions' den. In each impossible scenario, God transformed the situation into something remarkable.The fear of death became supernatural peace as God revealed Nebuchadnezzar's dream to Daniel. The fiery furnace meant to destroy Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego became an encounter with God's presence, as a fourth figure appeared walking with them among the flames. The lions' den designed to silence Daniel's devotion became a platform for God's provision as He shut the mouths of hungry predators.What stands out is how Daniel maintained unwavering integrity. He didn't compromise when offered the king's food, didn't hide his prayers when they became illegal, and didn't waver in his convictions when threatened with death. His testimony wasn't built on last-minute emergency prayers but on a lifestyle of consistent devotion—serving God "continually" as King Darius observed.This message challenges us to examine our own response to cultural pressure and spiritual threats. Are we bowing to the golden statues of our day? Are we praying only in emergencies or maintaining a consistent relationship with God? Do we believe God can transform our greatest threats into our greatest testimonies?The God who delivered Daniel is still working today, ready to transform your fear into peace, your fire into process, and your fangs into provision. Your trial has purpose beyond what you can see. Stand firm in your faith, and watch God show up powerfully in your impossible situation.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

    In 1 Samuel 29 David will find that his lies and deception have brought him to a dilemma from which there would appear to be no opportunity to escape. The lords of the Philistines had mustered their forces at Aphek in order for a full scale war with Israel. Achish has summoned David and his men to go with them to fight against their enemies. The other 4 lords express their objections believing that should the battle not go in favour of Philistia David could change sides and fight for Israel to reconcile himself to Saul. These lords recount what a thorn in their sides David had been in the past. Achish defends David's loyalty before the lords. However they still insist that David and his men leave the Philistine camp before sunrise - before the battle. David agrees to do this. Once again David's Almighty God has saved him out of an exceptionally dangerous predicament. Chapter 30 sees David and his troop reach a very low point where David despairs of life. As David's troop come to Ziklag they find their town destroyed and burning and strewn with corpses. David's followers are so distraught that they want to blame him for what has happened and to stone him to death. David prays as verse 6 tells us. Never let us forget that no matter how bad things seem to be we can always count on our LORD for support. David then asks counsel from his God by asking Abiathar the priest to find out what the Almighty would have him do. Their Sovereign instructs them to pursue the enemy and that they will recover their families and their wealth. David's company found a sick and starving Egyptian who had been left behind by the Amalekite raiding party. Just think that had Saul destroyed the Amalekites as God had commanded him this catastrophe could not have happened. The Egyptian promised help as long as he was not sold to those Amalekites. Verses 16-20 tell us that just as the Almighty had promised so it came to pass. Two hundred of David's men had minded the luggage whilst the other four hundred had risked their life in battle. The 400 did not wish to share the spoil. David made a rule from that point and beyond the spoil was to be divided evenly whatever part his followers had played in the warfare. David always tried to act with justice and equality for all. David then distributed much of the wealth to the nearby regions with an explanation that it had come from the enemies of Yahweh. In Jeremiah 5 the prophet is told to run through Jerusalem to see if he could find anyone who would walk in the ways of the LORD. If the prophet could find such a person God promised to pardon Judah. However, says Almighty God, He saw only hypocritical lip service - outward worship without any truth. All this despite their Sovereign's discipline. Ezekiel was given a similar task in chapter 9 of that prophecy. The nation had set her face against her Maker. Jeremiah acknowledges that this is true, but claims that the LORD's people are ignorant of His ways. In verse 6 their Omnipotent Judge declares that they would be savaged by the Babylonian lion and that God would observe the nation's actions as closely as a leopard does his prey. In verses 7-9 her Sovereign describes her lascivious behaviour and that Judah's appetite for immorality is unquenchable. Graphic word pictures are used by her God. Verses 10-13 outline the vast extent of the coming judgments - even the prophets would be destroyed (excepting Jeremiah as we shall find out later). In verses 14-17 the LORD describes the arrogance and ruthlessness of the Babylonians. He also speaks of the destruction that would be brought upon Judah. The Babylonians would show no mercy. Verses 18-25 reveal that Yahweh, in contrast to Babylon, would show mercy in sparing Judah and saving a remnant. Verses 26-29 speak of the treacherous behaviours of the Judeans among themselves. God says that such actions cannot go unpunished. In verses 30-31 God describes the perverse practices of the priests and ruler. Sadly, says the prophet, the people not only tolerate it, but want it to be that way.  The 16th chapter of Matthew shows the incapacity of the nation's rulers to see what was happening in their midst. This is followed by a treatise on the deception contained in corrupt teachings; whose pervasive influence rapidly permeates like leaven. Next comes the greatest confession by Peter, upon which rock-like foundation the entire ecclesia is built - namely, that "Jesus Christ is the Son of the living God" (see John 6verses 68-69; Ephesians 2 verses 20-21). Our Lord Jesus next explicitly explains to his Apostles his coming sufferings, death and resurrection on the third day. Our Lord Jesus Christ's resurrection was the sign of the prophet Jonah. That prophet spent 3 days in the belly of the whale which in Jonah's prayer is called the belly of hell: Jonah 2 verses 1-2. The Apostle Paul says that this proved the Lord Jesus Christ's divine Sonship: Romans 1 verses 4; Ephesians 1 verses 15-22. The Apostle Peter reminds us of the same matter: Acts 2 verses 22-36. The chapter concludes with a final appeal to each believer to take up our stake - Greek "staurus" - and follow our Lord through suffering even unto death should that be our lot.

Die Hethiter waren für ihre Verwaltung, ihre fortschrittliche Gesetzgebung, ihre Religion mit zahlreichen Göttern sowie ihre Diplomatie bekannt.

    The first six chapters of Daniel detail the prophet's life and faith in Babylon. The focus shifts in chapter 7 with a vision of four beastly empires emerging from a stormy sea, a heavenly courtroom presided over by the Ancient of Days, and a divine Son of Man gaining everlasting rule. The prophet's vision was more than future information; it inspired perseverance. For believers facing confusion, instability, and opposition, the message is still relevant: worldly kingdoms are temporary. A King with an everlasting dominion will come, and His followers will join His eternal kingdom. Daniel's vision urges believers to look beyond chaos and trust in Christ's inevitable reign.

    Zedekiah is the last king of Judah. During his wicked reign, the LORD fulfills His Word of sending Judah into exile. Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon finally loses patience with rebellious Judah and besieges Jerusalem. In 587 BC, his army destroys Jerusalem and the LORD's temple. Zedekiah watches his sons die before he is blinded and carried off to exile and death. This is no historical accident; It is the LORD's wrath against His people's idolatry. Although Nebuchadnezzar sets up a governor over the land of Judah, the people still rebell against him and flee, ironically, to Egypt. Yet the LORD is not through with His promise, although the kingdom of Judah and the line of David seem entirely lost. Eventually, Jehoiachin, a Davidic heir, is released from prison in Babylon. Despite His people's sin, the LORD sustains the line of the promised Christ.   Rev. Philip Hoppe, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in Colby, KS, joins host Rev.

    After Josiah's death, Judah spirals downward faster and faster toward the Babylonian exile. Jehoahaz's three-month reign is evil, and he is replaced by Jehoiakim, appointed by Pharaoh Neco. During the evil reign of Jehoiakim, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes up for a first time, taking captive Daniel and his friends. After Jehoiakim's reign, Nebuchadnezzar comes a second time. He not only loots the LORD's house, but he also takes captive the best of the people of Judah, including Ezekiel and the Davidic king, Jehoiachin. In his place, Nebuchadnezzar leaves Zedekiah as king over Judah. With each passing verse, the text makes plain that the end of Judah is coming, just as the LORD has spoken.   Rev.

    The first thing I would focus my thoughts upon, and that my faith relies on, in this case, is this,—there is a fixed, predetermined time in the counsel of God, when Antichrist and Babylon, and idolatry and superstition, along with the profanity of life they have introduced, will be destroyed. It is so fixed, that it will not be altered: all the wisdom of men, all the sins of men, and all our disbelief, will not delay it a day; it will assuredly happen in its appointed season.

The prophet Isaiah warned the people that their corruption and idolatry would lead them back into slavery—not to Egypt but to the empires of Assyria and Babylon. After these two exiles happen, the prophecies in the book of Isaiah shift surprisingly from correction and warning to comfort and hope. In this episode, Jon and Tim explore Isaiah 40-66.

    "Welcome to the Exile period! Jeff Cavins joins Fr. Mike to introduce the eighth biblical period, which covers the fall of the Southern Kingdom, Judah, and its exile into Babylon. They explain how the physical exile of Judah was representative of their spiritual realities, and ultimately oriented towards the healing and restoration of their unfaithfulness. We also learn about the role of prophets in this period. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

    Welcome to Day 2666 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Cosmic Geography” – Supernatural Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2666 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2666 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Today, we begin a new focus on the 5th of 16 segments of our Theology Thursday lessons. I will read through the book "Supernatural," written by Hebrew Bible scholar, professor, and mentor Dr. Michael S. Heiser, who has since passed away. Supernatural is a condensed version of his comprehensive book, ‘The Unseen Realm.' If these readings pique your interest, I would recommend that you read ‘The Unseen Realm.' Today, we will read through chapter five: “Cosmic Geography.” The divine transgressions we looked at in the previous podcast had something in common. They were both supernatural rebellions aimed at co-opting God's plan for humanity and the restoration of his rule. In this podcast we'll look at another rebellion, one that originated with people. This rebellion produced a predicament that we're all still part of, and that predicament involves supernatural beings. The titanic struggle for God's restoration strategy took a turn for the worse that only the return of Jesus will finally resolve. The Tower of Babel The story of the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1–9) is simultaneously one of the best-known and least-understood accounts in the Bible. Children learn about it in Sunday school as the time when God confused earth's human languages. After the flood, God repeated the command he'd given to Adam and Eve to cover the earth. He was trying to kick-start the spread of his ruling influence through humanity. Once again, it didn't work. People refused. Rebellion in their hearts, they had a better idea, or so they thought. They decided to build a tower to avoid being scattered (Gen. 11:4). The logic seems odd. Sure, an amazing tower would make them famous (Gen. 11:4), but how would that prevent scattering across the earth? The answer lies in the tower. Bible scholars and archaeologists know ancient Babylon and cities around it built towers called ziggurats. The purpose of the ziggurats was to provide places where people could meet the gods. They were part of temple zones. Rather than make the world like Eden—to spread the knowledge and rule of God everywhere—the people wanted to bring God down at one spot. That wasn't God's plan, and he wasn't pleased. Hence his statement—again to the members of his council—“Let us go down and mix up their language” (Gen. 11:7 gnt, emphasis added). God did so, and humanity was separated and scattered. The incident explains how the nations listed a chapter earlier in Genesis 10 came to be. That's the story most Christians know. Now for the one they don't. The Gods and Their Nations Genesis 11 isn't the only passage that describes what happened at the Tower of Babel. Deuteronomy 32:8–9 describes it this way: When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. But the Lord's portion is his people, Jacob his allotted heritage. Some Bible translations have “sons of Israel” instead of “sons of God” in that first sentence. But Israel didn't exist at the time of the Tower of Babel. God only called Abraham after Babel...

Once culturally liberating, now often restrictive—how do you handle that tension?”* In Eph 5, ppl teach about men & women like it transcends culture over time, but the bit on slaves is taught differently. How can we know how to differentiate?* How should the fact that Jesus chose 12 male Jewish apostles inform this question?* What is the complementarian rationale for keeping male/female distinctions while no longer keeping slave/free and Jew/Greek distinctions in Gal. 3:28?* Paul says, “ I do not permit a women to teach” he didn't Say “God does not allow a women to teach” do you make anything about this being a “Paul” command Learn more about your ad choices.
