Christmas is a lot of work, both setting everything up and cleaning up afterwards, and we've never had the energy to do anything else.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17009735500336231411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099884500208564058.post-78948556567429547462009-12-30T13:07:04.726-08:002009-12-30T13:07:04.726-08:00thanks :) i am somewhat familiar with the idol wor...thanks :) i am somewhat familiar with the idol worship and some of the sexual undertones, but definitely not the detail you have explained. i read a fascinating book called "The Red Tent", it really goes into the idol worship, particularly from women during the Old Testament times. i guess the issue of virtue has been a long standing one, you would think we would have it more under control.noybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677268663318440222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099884500208564058.post-31258063357816088972009-12-29T22:27:22.193-08:002009-12-29T22:27:22.193-08:00Ok, I was concerned I would need to explain it a b...Ok, I was concerned I would need to explain it a bit - just tell me if I an not clear enough. In ancient times in Israel, a corrupted form of worship was the deity Asherah, consort of El, Heavenly Father. That made her something like Heavenly Mother. Worship involved a lot of sex and was typically done near a asherah pole (translated as 'oak'), or at least somewhere fertile and green (translated as 'garden'). Of course, for these people, all of life was worship, so don't get hung up on the 'idol' part of it. That was just their way of messing around "behind the bushes".<br /><br />In short, Isaiah declared that they would be ashamed of their desires for sin. <br /><br />http://themeaningofvirtue.blogspot.com/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015621517120698733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099884500208564058.post-26399676269448815882009-12-29T11:33:54.090-08:002009-12-29T11:33:54.090-08:00it was pretty base. exacerbated by the dang flu. i...it was pretty base. exacerbated by the dang flu. i get all silly and emotional when i am sick. i struggle quite a bit whether or not to post about the "natural man" side of things. finding the balance between "good girl" and a woman who really wants to be married and enjoy righteous marital(and hot)intimacy. i have found several men very suspicious of my celibacy. thinking i might be broken "that way".<br />whats your interpretation of isa. 1:29? i wasnt familiar, so i looked it up. i sensed some loc undertones, referring to our choices and being ashamed of them, but the one footnote talks about idol worship. i am no scriptorian, but i think the nyquil is compromising me even further.<br />thanks for your comment. i think you make a good point about not seeing following the loc as a burden. i generally dont, but once again....noybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677268663318440222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8099884500208564058.post-43132374365470132162009-12-29T01:13:40.320-08:002009-12-29T01:13:40.320-08:00I understand you there, but of course, statistical...I understand you there, but of course, statistically speaking, the obedient of each gender is out numbered by the unprincipled. <br /><br />I came to the conclusion a while ago, that if I was not enjoying where I was in life, I was not living the law of chastity the way I ought to. That does not really fix the loneliness part, but it can be made bearable. Still, in my worst moments, Isa. 1:29 puts me on edge. Not that I am accusing you of anything base - just saying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12015621517120698733noreply@blogger.com
