Do Roman Catholics Know About Do Roman Catholics KnOw about the voice of the Zamorin? The main aim…is to inspire people to think differently..... Tuesday, 30 July 2013 Negotiate with the Demons within You A Wise Man once said: "You are your best friend and your worst enemy!". There is a reason; over the centuries man has been battling his nemesis - himself, trying to understand and make a breakeven point between what he perceives as his self made utopia and what he actually is. Overtime man, through his want of understanding, belief in a higher power and simply his desire to control through categorizations, man has personified his nemesis in varied grades of good and evil. Those who were good became his Angels who fought on the side of the Gods while those who threatened to expose his very bones were demonized and cast into the fiery chasms. This, coupled with Chinese Whispers as they were passed down from one generation to another, led to the barbed wire separation of reward from eternal damnation. The Christians called them demons. The Greeks called them the Furies; while in Hinduism they are called Asuras and in Islam, Jinns. These demons are what in reality what scientists of today call split personalities and the inner voices of the self that dares to contradict the self. These contradictions may be in the positive or in the negative but the fact that they dare to displease the host gives them a title as deemed appropriate by the host. Have we never told a person who we know is telling the truth, to go to hell? Or basked in the glory and sunshine of Yes Ministers? We are all human and it’s true that we can't drink from the bitter cup of truth but even medicine is bitter; that does not mean we don't take it! As man tried to understand these mystical forces that plagued him when vulnerable and drank with him when high, he began to personify and christened them with identities. This became useful as man could best identify with something that looks like him. Have you ever wondered why angels and demons look like men and women and not wildlife or shapeless like an amoeba? They would just not catch on as man would not relate to their very purpose. Man looks at these entities as a refractive view of the self. This overtime has been hyped and over hyped and finally commercialized that the truth is far gone and all we live with is a propped up scare crow used to manipulate the will of man. Demons have always been viewed from a religious connotation and so over the years man has always been treated as the horse with blinkers particularly because "Knowledge" which as the Power to Make a Man and to Break Him was concentrated in the hands of the few and the convention mutually agreed upon by illiterates is that we believe whatever the respected person says as Gospel Truth, much like the Boogey Monster and the Tooth Fairy. Don't want to name a few as I know many may still believe in them and a riot is not the objective. But the point is that over time the above clause has helped us channelize our own interpretations who these demons are. Simple Question "We have not seen God or Demons nor our ancestors let alone people from across the world baring what media dictates, yet how is that we are able to draw them especially as young children?" Food for thought... Besides, have you ever wondered why we draw a heart in a particular shape to express Love and another for our Biology Exams? Though the above thought provoker does not aim at dismissing the existence, it simply wishes to bring to light that we are what others tell us we are! Looking around the world one may find strange similarities in these varied demons but due to the varied cultural norms that affect their personification, the stories, shapes, myths and legends will be astonishingly different. But that does not mean that they are different identities. For Example, In Eastern Europe Vlad the Impaler was demonized by the Turks for the way he impaled the captives to ward off the invading Turks so that his Romania would be saved. Over time it led to the creation of the legend that "The seventh son of the seventh son is doomed to be a Vampire". Now let’s see what Hinduism has to say on Vampires - Here they are called Vetalas. According to Wikipedia, A vetala (Sanskrit vetāla or ) is a ghost-like being from Hindu mythology. The vetala are defined as spirits inhabiting corpses and charnel grounds. These corpses may be used as vehicles for movement (as they no longer decay while so inhabited); but a vetala may also leave the body at will. A vetala can be a vampire, a flesh eater and blood drinker, like a skeleton with large tattered wings. In Hindu folklore, the vetala is an evil spirit who haunts cemeteries and takes demonic possession of corpses. They make their displeasure known by troubling humans which mainly includes affection towards God and good in the person as they want them to be evil minded. In their course of action they can drive people mad by knowing the psychological defects of the person, kill children by making them mentally weak to commit suicide and cause miscarriages. They also say it guards villages but actually they are not doing that. According to ancient secret texts available with High Priest of a family they say during old days bandits used to steal valuable treasure in the Hindu temples, so in order to protect them they made the public believe that vetalas are guarding the village which will be effective to keep the bandits away from village and believing in the same way the God will be guarding them. They also say as both the good and bad people live in this world even the vetalas are also both good and bad where bad vetalas are only extremely dangerous and good will be servants of God. They are hostile spirits of the dead trapped in the 'twilight zone' between life and afterlife. These creatures can be repelled by the chanting of mantras with good mind concentration. One can free them from their ghostly existence by performing their funerary rites. They pretend to have an uncanny knowledge about the past, present, and future which they communicate and manipulate the persons mind through dreams in order to control the person and a deep insight into human nature. They also communicate through thoughts which also includes images and influencing the 'Manasu'(Indian word -Thoughts of Heart) which will be highly effective. Therefore many sorcerers seek to capture them and turn them into slaves and use them for their selfish needs. According to Legend, a sorcerer once asked King Vikramaditya to capture a vetala who lived in a tree that stood in the middle of a cremation ground. The only way to do that was by keeping silent. Every time Vikramaditya caught the vetala, the vetala would enchant the king with a story that would end with a question. No matter how hard he tried, Vikramaditya would not be able to resist answering the question. This would enable the vetala to escape and return to his tree. So who are these demons that plague the average Joe, Rahul, Hussain, Carlos, Wen, Guy and Isaac? In order to understand our demons we need to understand what a demon is in the first place. Let’s get back to basics and invoke the Wisdom that our ancestors tried to alert us with. According to the Roman Catholic Church, A demon is a spiritual being of an angelic nature that has been condemned for eternity due to his rebellion against God. As pure spirits, demons are not made up of matter. Because they do not have bodies, demons are not inclined to any “sins of the flesh” (i.e., it is impossible for them to commit the sins of lust or gluttony). The sins of demons are exclusively spiritual. But they can tempt human beings to sin in matters of the flesh. Demons were not created evil. (In fact, it is impossible for God, who is Goodness itself, to create anything evil.) Remember: demons are just “bad angels.” After God created the angels, He tested their fidelity to Him before admitting them to the Beatific Vision, the sight of His very essence. For purely spiritual beings, this “seeing” of God’s essence would be a purely intellectual vision. Some angels obeyed the divine test; others did not. Those who disobeyed were irreversibly transformed into demons and cast out of heaven. It may seem surprising that some angels would choose to hate God. But we need to understand that those who rebelled saw God no longer as a good—as the Good—but as the oppressor of their freedom. Hate was born as their wills resisted the call of God and held fast to the decision to leave the Father’s house.

Plato, too, writes about "demons" without associating them to something bad. Demons are known in Islam, too. The term "jinn" originally meant anything that could be "hidden" - something "secret", "remote", or "invisible". In Islam, bad "jinns" are called shaya-ti-n (not really "demons") and Iblis (Satan) is their leader.

  • Noah's Wife and Heterosexual Incestuous
    Judaica Ukrainica I (2012), 29–46 No Name WomaN: Noah’s Wife aNd heterosexual iNcestuous relatioNs iN GeNesis 9:18–29 corinne e. Blackmer Southern Connecticut State University [email protected] [Noah’s wife] was a nameless woman, and so at home among all those who were never found and never missed, who were uncommemorated, whose deaths were not remarked, nor their begettings1. I. The terse language and riddling innuendo of Gen 9:18–29, which narrates how Noah comes to curse Canaan, the son of Ham, has engaged the inter­ pretive energies of readers since the rabbis of the Babylonian Talmud spe­ culated that Ham had castrated his father2. The language of this narrative, bristling with obscure phrases, loud hints of dreadful sexual transgression, and pious cover ups, has often left subsequent interpreters sensing that the story has meanings that the narrator declines to delineate. Indeed, the only thing that remains clear is that Gen 9:18–29 functions as an etiological myth to justify the permanent subordination of the tribes of Canaan. Canaan commits an un­ speakable sexual crime against Noah’s family that results in the subsequent physical displacement and sweeping rejection of the customs of the Canaanite peoples. Indeed, Israel’s secure possession of the Promised Land is predicated on repudiating the cultural institutions of the preceding Canaanites. Whatever the larger and associated issues, however, interpretive positions have gener­ 30 Corinne E. BLACKMER ally revolved around two broad questions. What was the nature of Ham’s of­ fense, such that when he “saw his father’s nakedness” and told his brothers, Shem and Japheth, it merited the terrible curse of permanent servitude Noah pronounced over him3? Second, what was the rationale for the punishment of Canaan and why, if Ham committed the crime, would his son Canaan suffer the penalty instead? Exegetical traditions have identified the deed for which Noah curses Ca­ naan either as voyeurism, castration, or homosexual paternal incest.

  • Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D
    Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs by Daniel D. Stuhlman BHL, BA, MS LS, MHL In support of the Doctor of Hebrew Literature degree Jewish University of America Skokie, IL 2004 Page 1 Abstract Hebrew Names and Name Authority in Library Catalogs By Daniel D. Stuhlman, BA, BHL, MS LS, MHL Because of the differences in alphabets, entering Hebrew names and words in English works has always been a challenge. The Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) is the source for many names both in American, Jewish and European society. This work examines given names, starting with theophoric names in the Bible, then continues with other names from the Bible and contemporary sources. The list of theophoric names is comprehensive. The other names are chosen from library catalogs and the personal records of the author. Hebrew names present challenges because of the variety of pronunciations. The same name is transliterated differently for a writer in Yiddish and Hebrew, but Yiddish names are not covered in this document. Family names are included only as they relate to the study of given names. One chapter deals with why Jacob and Joseph start with “J.” Transliteration tables from many sources are included for comparison purposes. Because parents may give any name they desire, there can be no absolute rules for using Hebrew names in English (or Latin character) library catalogs. When the cataloger can not find the Latin letter version of a name that the author prefers, the cataloger uses the rules for systematic Romanization. Through the use of rules and the understanding of the history of orthography, a library research can find the materials needed.

  • Fallen Angels and the History of Judaism and Christianity
    P1:JZZ s0521853781 agg.xml CB912B-Reed 0521853788 May 28, 2006 8:37 fallen angels and the history of judaism and christianity This book considers the early history of Jewish–Christian relations through a focus on traditions about the fallen angels. In the Book of the Watchers,anEnochic apocalypse from the third century bce,the“sonsofGod”ofGen6:1 –4 are accused of corrupting humankind through their teachings of metalworking, cos- metology, magic, and divination. By tracing the transformations of this motif in Second Temple, Rabbinic, and early medieval Judaism and early, late antique, and Byzantine Christianity, this book sheds light on the history of interpretation of Genesis, the changing status of Enochic literature, and the place of parabibli- cal texts and traditions in the interchange between Jews and Christians in Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. In the process, it explores issues such as the role of text-selection in the delineation of community boundaries and the development of early Jewish and Christian ideas about the origins of evil on the earth.

  • Ostriches Into Sirens: Towards an Understanding of a Septuagint Crux

Weitzman s her name denotes, Naamah, the sister of Tubal-cain, was ‘pleasant’ A andsowasNaomi, the mother-in-law of Ruth. In the case of Naomi, the connection between her personality and her name was established in the biblical narrative itself (Ruth 1:20): ïàø÷ éîòð éì äðàø÷ú ìà ïäéìà øîàúå ãàî éì éãù øîä éë àøî éì (‘She said to them “Call me no longer Naomi [i.e. Pleasant], call me Mara [i.e. Bitter], for the Almighty has dealt bitterly with me” ’).1 The particulars, however, about Naamah were introduced only in post-biblical exegesis. Naamah’s appeal consisted in that she was both physically attractive and musical. The notion of her physical beauty has been discussed by Pear- son, who ingeniously identified her with Norea, an intriguing female fig- ure that appears in Gnostic texts from Nag Hammadi, in Mandaean and Manichaean literature, and in Christian heresiological writings (Irenaeus, Epiphanius and Philaster):2 the proper name ‘Norea’ and alternative forms have all been convincingly traced back to Ωραα (‘beautiful’), a Greek trans- lation of ‘Naamah’.3 Once ‘the sons of God’ and ‘the daughters of men’ of 1 Biblical passages in English are quoted from B.

    Genesis in Biblical Perspective The Gospel of Christ from Genesis Then They Received the Offering – Genesis 4 This is the word of God. Genesis 4. 1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the LORD .” 2 And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the LORD an offering of the fruit of the ground, 4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the LORD had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. 6 The LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” 8 Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. 9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother's keeper?” 10 And the LORD said, “What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the ground. 11 And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.
