Another Midrash

Eve tempted Adam to eat from the fruit after being tempted by the Serpent, and God set forth a redemption plan, to have her seed crush the Serpent’s Head, when he bruised the Seed’s heels. That Abraham had a son, Isaac, and was called to sacrifice him, but God stayed His hand, and told Abraham He would provide the sacrifice and that Abraham’s seed would bless all the nations. That Jacob wrestled with God, and prevailed, and received the blessing that the deliverer of the World would come from his seed. That Moses led the Children of Jacob out of Egypt, and into the Wilderness, and then Joshua, his predecessor, conquered the land of Canaan after Moses died. That David, the King of Israel, was issued a decree that he would have a seed that would sit on the Throne of Israel forever. That this Seed is God’s Son, made manifest in the Flesh. That He came and lived a perfect moral example for us to follow, and set down a Law so magnificent, it is superior to 30 sages. That He died and raised from the Dead, and His followers witnessed Him raised from the dead, and died believing it, sometimes unbelievable deaths. That He will return one day, being born of Zion, and be swiftly called up to the clouds, and return with 144,000 saints to slay all the sinners of the world at Armageddon. That He will live and reign on the Earth for 1,000 years, and then defeat Satan and Death in the Battle of Gog and Magog, by consuming the hordes numbered greater than the sands of the Sea with fire. And then He will marry New Jerusalem, which descends from the clouds, and is a city more glorious than we can imagine.

Paul the Flower

Walking through the forest,
I realize, there were a yellow wild flower
And a grey Mushroom.
The flower was a thick petal
Chubby and fat, like a maid's skirt.
The mushroom round circled on the head
And curved up, with a brown top and thin stem.
I realized, Paul was like the Flower
So tall, and educated and elegant,
Knowing Epimenides and Homer
And Plato and such.
The other apostles like the mushroom
Short in stature, earthy and inedible.
An educated Pharisee must be chosen 
By God, to bring the religion to its zenith;---
And chosen and elected, a once persecutor of the church.
So also the Holy Spirit can minister through our learning.

Another Midrash

 [T]he law condemns everyone, for it’s the punishment of God meted out against all sin, and that Christ redeemed us from it, through His blood. By having Christ, that law is no longer in effect for us, so we live by grace, but without Christ that Law will condemn us in the flesh, and destroy us in the slavery of our sin. For Christ is a New Priesthood, and with a change of Priesthood and Covenant—through Abraham’s seed—comes a change of law.

Cretans Are Always Liars

Paul heard a Judaizer say "Cretans are always Liars." The source is a Cretan philosopher named Epimenides. Showing the distinction of contradiction... I think Paul was a learned enough man to expose the false prophets, for making a show of knowledge that the statement is paradoxical... for the Judaizer told the truth, but in that truth were indeed a veiled lie. Showing "Cretans are always liars" is itself a lie, as that syntactic idea exposes the unbeliever and the Judaizer, that even when telling the truth, they still lie.

Satan controls what we hear, but God controls what really happens.

Names and Meanings

Someone named Napoleon did things, we remember him, and the record of Napoleon's deeds get passed down to us. Because people witnessed him do those things, and recorded it in history. Just like Grandpa, a record of him gets passed down to the next generations. "Pop Pop lost his leg in a train accident. He sat with me, and we used to watch the birds. He liked to go to church. He liked Philadelphia sports teams. He sometimes used oaths when the team was losing. He worked at the Pennsylvania Turnpike as an Accountant. His dad, Pop, was an outdoorsman and played professional football for the Coal Leagues on the Tamaqua Bulldogs. Pop Pop loved dogs. He once crushed a hamster with his artificial leg by accident. He was not very good at cooking pork, but was an expert grill chef. Pop Pop also was with the naval fleets commissioned to invade Japan in case the Atomic Bombs weren't dropped, and said that they were days away from deploying, and were just about to." Things like that. It's not the referents that give it meaning, but the fact that he actually did those things, and lived that life, and record of it gets passed down to the next generation, to make a memory.

Calculus Meditation

One might rack their mind, and say, "Calculus is only an approximation." Because it seems too difficult to gather every point on a slope and curve. Yet, hear me out... It is not an approximation, because the calculus turns the curve into a line, and each addition to the formula is a newly defined part of the curve. So, the infinite sum works over the curve and turns what is curved into a singular line, making what is a curve into a straight line.

Errata - Also, Calculus works from formulas, that make repeated patterns, by plotting points and then forming a curve through it. So, the exact math comes from the formula, and forging it through plot points.

Errata Secundo - One could, also, compound formulas, and build them on top of each other, for specific parts of a curve, integrating new segments to it, to get an exact curve, taking each segment piece by piece. Though difficult with hand calculations, a computer should handle it perfectly, and is indeed why we have them in the first place.

Homosexuality in Medieval Europe

Christianity always censured Homosexuality, but laws against it didn’t start until 1260AD and really began being implemented in 1280AD, meaning it wasn’t really prominent. And preachers began preaching on it by 1100AD showing it was a new thing, otherwise they would have preached against it much earlier. And Pope Boniface was martyred in 1303AD. Or not Martyred, but he might as well have been. The Pope wanted European solidarity so as to avoid war and conflict, which France took him into prison, and beat him, and he died of his beatings a little later. Which France seems to be the nation where the royalty had the most penchant for homoerotic relationships, showing a correlation of corruption with the behavior. And God was wrathful with the world for martyring a peacemaker, and it led to a turbulent period—one of the worst in human history—throughout the 14th century.

Every source I looked at showed the laws became stricter later in the middle ages, showing it had to have become more prevalent then, for them to take notice. And for preachers like Allen De Lille to preach against it. Showing a direct correlation with homosexuality and corrupt government.
