New Age and Eastern religions teach that if you did bad things in this life, you will return in the next life as a lizard, a snake, or some other lower-level creature. Aren’t you blessed to know Yeshua broke the karma, that He released you from having to come back as a rodent, that He released you from the ill-effects of your sin? Kirt Schneider
Even colder this morning with a heavy frost and a lot of smoke around. No breeze and quite pleasant once I warmed up. ❄️ #cycling #Narrabri
This concept of a righteous man, known in Hebrew as a tzaddik, dying in the place of the guilty was established in the rabbinic mind long before the New Testament was written. Kirt Schneider
First frost of the year this morning with temperatures outside town dropping to as low as – 3 C. Despite the cold, it was a nice ride out to the Australia Telescope. #cycling #Narrabri #radioastronomy
There have been many complaints lately about the way Google searches are far less informative than a decade ago. A number of new search engines have emerged to overcome this.
One of the best is Tusk which aims to stop censorship in search. It even has its own AI, Gippr, a throw back to Ronald Reagan.
I had a play with Gippr this morning , and had this amusing response to “What is the Uniting Church in Australia?
I have made Tusk my default search engine to see how it compares to Duck Duck Go
The rabbinic teaching is that before the binding of Isaac, God’s grace was largely shut off from the earth. But Abraham’s act of obedience and Isaac’s act of radical surrender opened up a channel for the grace of God to come upon the nation of Israel, and through Israel to flood the entire world. The faithful sacrifice of the one (Isaac) opened up floodgates of mercy for the many. Kirt Schneider
Lovely but cold morning. Nice ride on Yarrie Lake Rd. #cycling #Narrabri
When we understand that Isaac was an adult who willingly offered himself as a sacrifice in obedience unto his father, we see in him a type of Messiah Yeshua in the clearest terms. While no sacrifice would be comparable to the one Jesus made when He gave Himself up for the sin of the world, Isaac, like Yeshua, knowingly offered up his own life on that altar, fully expecting to die there.

A chilly 3 degrees this morning. We might get the first frost of the year on the weekend. An enjoyable ride along Culgoora Road to this property where the welcome is as cool as the weather. #cycling #Narrabri
