I'd say, “There is a God, and His Son is Jesus. There's plenty of archeological proof, and also textual proof. The Bible also comes from witnesses. We know because we dig up things in the ground that it directly talks about. And the written records of Him, called the Gospel, come from eyewitnesses of Jesus, that He fulfilled over 300 Messianic Prophecies. And they say fulfilling 8 Prophecies are 10^17 power in Probability to happen. And Jesus was murdered on a torture instrument, and buried, and in three days He raised from the Dead, to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And if we confess Him as LORD, and walk in accordance with His way—which is love for God and love for your Neighbor as yourself—you will be saved and go to a paradise more rich than anything you could possibly imagine.”

Jesus as Messiah
Isaiah 53 clearly establishes that a Man’s soul must be offered for sin. And that a man was bruised and punished for our iniquities.
Zechariah 3 and 6 both name Jesus (Joshua) as Messiah, as it was unlawful for the king to be of the priesthood, yet Joshua was to be made so. Also Nehemiah says “Eat the Fat and Drink the Sweet” both were unlawful, yet the Covenant was broken when the Jews were exiled, so were awaiting a New Covenant in Christ’s Blood. Jesus showed compassion was weightier than unneeded oblations.
You said that Jehoiakim was in both Bloodlines, when in fact Luke’s comes from Nathan, David’s son not Solomon.
Also the verses in the New Testament where Jesus went through and didn’t wash, or let His disciples eat grain, it clearly establishes that Jesus is setting apart this New Covenant, to be freed from the Levitical Priesthood. As Paul says in Hebrews, “With a change of Priesthood” through Melchizedek, “Comes a change of Law.”
There’s also two everlasting covenants, one to condemn sin, and another to free men from Sin’s curse.
Also Jesus ate Passover in the beginning of Passover, when it’s night. As a Jew you know the day starts at sundown, so Jesus ate the supper when the sun set. And went to sleep in the garden, and then Judas betrayed Him in the morning. And then He was killed before the Sun went down on Ash Wednesday.
It’s also shown, that Matthew was Hebrew, as he added that detail about the Pharisee tearing his robe because the Pharisees were hypocrites.
Treatment of the Poor from Deuteronomy
Deuteronomy 24:19 When thou cuttest down thine harvest in thy field, and hast forgot a sheaf in the field, thou shalt not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the Lord thy God may bless thee in all the work of thine hands.
20 When thou beatest thine olive tree, thou shalt not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 When thou gatherest the grapes of thy vineyard, thou shalt not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
The meaning of this, is that the gleanings of your income are for the poor and dispossessed classes. So the 1/10000 of a cent the average taxpayer spends on someone like me, works through this charity. We’re not supposed to be so greedy that we can’t lend a little to the poor, including through Law.
Deuteronomy 15:7 If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, in that which he wanteth.
9 Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the Lord against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
10 Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
11 For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
So in the Jewish Tradition, they had sabbatical years, where they forgave all debts. The Seventh Year, was always a year for forgiving debts. So, this means that debts should be forgiven past a certain point. And because of this, the poor are to be loaned what they need, and pay back whatever they can when they are profited. And the rest is to be forgiven when the Sabbatical Year comes.
Laws Concerning Captive Wives
10 When thou goest forth to war against thine enemies, and the Lord thy God hath delivered them into thine hands, and thou hast taken them captive,
11 And seest among the captives a beautiful woman, and hast a desire unto her, that thou wouldest have her to thy wife;
12 Then thou shalt bring her home to thine house, and she shall shave her head, and pare her nails;
13 And she shall put the raiment of her captivity from off her, and shall remain in thine house, and bewail her father and her mother a full month: and after that thou shalt go in unto her, and be her husband, and she shall be thy wife.
14 And it shall be, if thou have no delight in her, then thou shalt let her go whither she will; but thou shalt not sell her at all for money, thou shalt not make merchandise of her, because thou hast humbled her.
Sell Her H4376 - sell away,
A primitive root; to sell, literally (as merchandise, a daughter in marriage, into slavery), or figuratively (to surrender) -- X at all, sell (away, -er, self).
Make Merchandise H6014 - bind sheaves, make merchandise of
A primitive root; properly, apparently to heap; figuratively, to chastise (as if piling blows); specifically (as denominative from omer) to gather grain -- bind sheaves, make merchandise of.
“Are the trees in the field human, that they should be besieged by you?”
Metric Versus Imperial
It's actually not a mess. Quarts, Pints and Gallons are perfect for portioning. Inches and Feet are based off of Cubits, which come from human hands and feet. Yards, Leagues, Furlongs and Miles have their reason for existing, as they're actually intuitive for the way spatial distances work. Pound and Fahrenheit, too, 100 Degrees sounds hot, whereas 37 degrees doesn't, and pounds are a good weight standard based on the Roman Libra. It actually makes people more intelligent, having that. It requires more work to get it right, so it makes it more likely that people will do the math correctly. And it's based off of human things. It's also pretty. Just saying, George Orwell talks about it in 1984, one of his characters are complaining about the metric system, and would prefer pints and quarts.
It's really based off of human needs, the Imperial System. Like our intuitive way of understanding things, in relation to our bodies. Meters are kind of sterile, but have their use I guess. Everything standardized into base 10. Like a Yard is more fitted to Phi, also, than a Meter. Because it's based on the human proportion, so it aesthetically looks more pleasing. A Mile, also, is more intuitive to human minds because it's based on yards, which are based on proportions made from the human body. It's more humane, and fits our minds better. People are creative, and certain things are fixed better in our minds. Imperial is more poetic.
I mean, actually, it might actually make a difference in the way our furniture and things work, too. Inches and feet are based off the human body, where meters aren't, so it develops more intuitive designs in everything we make.
I mean, for an astronaut in space, Meters might be better... but for a carpenter, trying to make something beautiful, Inches are better. Because it forms exactly to the human body.
Robert Burns
Cheerfully you sing your songs
A Scottish man, who did no wrong.
You sung of the working class
And nature's cruelty to the last
Measure of the broken bone---
Drunk men, poor men, some w'have no homes.
The Flowers In Bloom
On my walk, the Eastern Willow Herb
And the wild American Cannabis flower--yellow--
Are strong. The Daisies too. The Tiger Lilies are dying
And so is the Echinacea. Someone is harvesting Hemlock
To, probably, poison rodents.
Snapdragons and Hibiscus grow, in many fiery and floral colors.
The two children get their dragon toys.
They bloom and grow like the flowers.
At 4 they know not how to be alone
At 5 they can have some autonomy.
There dragons take them to the sky and sea...
They are in wonder...
Yet hopefully jealousy doesn't poison them
Or the hemp pipe;---which only make one more anxious
Nevertheless... the snake oil of the 21st century, we're back
To the days of peddling it because everyone would rather get high
Than taste the cherry of wine on their potatoes and meat.
The Flowering Trees
In the Fourth of July
The trees are flowering.
White, purple, pink...
Everywhere you go, the trees flower.
The big flowers...
I pray to the LORD
Not understanding why I am being smitten.
Is it because I do not wish to throw my pearls before swine?
Is it because I do not market, or schmooze
Or live as a grifter and con man
Going door to door, peddling soap?
Why am I poor?
It is because I will not take advantage of someone.
That is why.
And the mad man tells me his ten thousandth of a cent
Is too much to pay for my Medicaid.
I committed no fraud.
Had I just sat around, and did nothing
I wouldn't be such a controversy.
Had I not learned math, or philosophy, or religion, or logic
I'd be smoking my medical cannabis
And all would be well with me.
For I would be in my place.
Either do nothing, and live like an invalid
Or work for enough to bankrupt me.
Those are your options in the American Economy.
Track of Work this Week
1. Wrote on the Progression of Summer. A continuous project that will be finished in December--hopefully.
2. Wrote a few pieces of Midrash.
3. Did more work on explaining my theory of P = NP.
4. Calculated the cost of someone on Welfare. 1,000,000 people on welfare, could be supported by 1 dollar of every American's tax money.
5. Worked on a theory of Unified Philosophy, that different people have different linguistic structures and connotations, and one should understand them, rather than fit what they say to a rigid academic standard.
