wow... you and Anthony have beautiful taste! and I love how the dining table can see through to the living room by the space in the wall... I guess the wall was there when you and Anthony moved in? The space just literally opens it up and I love the scenery outside :) Chuck (my husband) thinks it's a great job... well done :D
We were wondering if that is in the Black Forest area? He thought the mountains seem familiar :)

hello Adeye, I am wondering about health insurance here in the US, since I moved here from Australia, I am realising that it costs to go to the Dr, dentist, etc... as my husband works part time and it is not enough for health insurance... how is it possible to have children with special needs if there is a lack of health insurance? Just wondering about that.

I didn't know that Hasya is blind... I agree with what Kim shared. It is important for her to feel secure and loved, and she has it abundantly with you, Anthony and your children :) Praying that the Lord will make it clear to you and provide ways to help her so that you can see HIs hand in all that you do :) And praying that her brain will work and recognise any sight and the nutrition that she receives help speed it up, along with His help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this post, Adeye, you must be beyond exhausted! And what a heartwarming post it is, I love that both Connor and Kellan get to share this monumental time with you, and I love how they asked how they could help... I love that your children are very close to you. What an abundant blessing, and I love how Kael finally have a family with big brothers and a dad to help encourage him, along with sisters and a mom who loves him very much :) :)

samechaleph — Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:33:44 -0000

Awesomeness, Adeye... how so exciting!! :) and thank you for your comment over at my blog about the purity ring and how amazing the Lord was in bringing Chuck and I together.
Blessings from ours to yours :)

Re: No Greater Joy Mom: with great rejoicing

samechaleph — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:46:02 -0000

hello sweet Adeye, I am so glad to hear that a family has come forward for little Zoey and also for Edward :) I can't wait for Zoey to be at home and to receive the love and nourishment that has been missing from all her life.
I also want to let you know that I have finally put up a testimony on how Chuck and I came together, we made a video of our testimony (with subtitles), your post about the purity ring was a big factor in the Lord confirming to us that He wanted us together. :) My blog is in here: www.faithcomethby.blogspot.com

I am now in Colorado Springs and will return back home end of Januray and then wait until I get approved to come back to live with Chuck (immigrant visa). I hope you and Anthony are doing well and everything is all prepared for Hasya and Kael :)

Re: Women: Created To Remain Silent? (Corinthians and Timothy)

samechaleph — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 21:04:24 -0000

hi JuneAnn,

thanks for the infos about the church that you go to. It's wonderful that you know you're doing what YHWH wants :-) I wonder though, how do you cope about the church celebrating pagan festivities like Christmas and Easter? If the pastor preaches this, do you just overlook it? Sorry for the many questions and in a public arena like this, no need to answer if not comfortable. I don't go to any churches, just meet with my mother to talk about YHWH and Yahushua on shabbats and also with others in the eliyah chat room.

Thank you for sharing where I could find out the source about authentico (Catherine's website). I can see why it's not well-known because of the seemingly vulgarity of the word. Would Paul have chosen to use that kind of word? Seeing that there are other words that can be used, like seduction, fornication, etc, which were already used... still good info, because if that's the case, it would explain a lot of things.

I understand your point about continuing the sacrifices meaning Yahushua died in vain. How I see it, it's more like, if you want to continue in the sacrifices, that means you're remaining under the curse of the law... if you accept Yahushua's priesthood, that means you're on YHWH's side of grace. Both still valid, the earlier is fading away, (still here, but fading away), but the latter is eternal. Just typing out my thoughts here, could be wrong anyway. About Ezekiel, very difficult to understand :) It seems to say about the future when there will be sacrifices... I remember a discussion where someone said that the prophecies in Ezekiel are conditional, e.g. IF the Israelites obeyed, THEN this would have happened... but SINCE they didn't then this prophecy which Ezekiel wrote, didn't happen as a result. It's more like, "this is what could've been, had the children of Israel obeyed"..... but I don't know, really. :) There's a lot of possibilities and they're all different, so I just tend to try to understand everyone's view.

Thanks for sharing about the wool and linen, I understand what you mean. Good discussion there about the head covering. Looking forward to your "kata" research. I remember I did try to explain it from an Aramaic point of view translation, word by word, but it was still shaky, because my understanding of Aramaic is close to zilch lol.

Thanks for sharing :)

Shabbat shalom, June Ann, thanks for your comment.

Yes, when I saw two of my comments here, I typed out my third one, and as soon as it was published, one of the first two disappeared! Talk about instant solution! :-) HalleluYah.

Thanks for your input. I looked up more about the part where it says in 1Co 14:34

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law."

There are two possible solutions to this,

1. Barnes commentary seems to show the possibility of “obedience/also saith the law” referring to Gen 3:16 “…And your desire is for your husband, and he does rule over you.”

The other solution is what you shared:
1Co 14:33 For (YHWH) is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

What you shared do make sense though, because it seems the women were the authors of confusion, being prophetesses of Diana, and what they spoke were in opposition to the law… so they were commanded to be silent and to be “under obedience (e.g. to the law?) as also saith the law”. ,,, If they were under obedience to the law, then what they spoke will be obeying the law, and there will be no confusion.

I tried to google and locate references for the usage of the ancient word "authentico/authenteo" meaning seductively seducing, (letters written by catholic bishops) but I couldn't find any... do you know where I could locate them?

...

Regarding head coverings, thank you for sharing, I enjoyed reading your input. I’m not well-read in ceremonial/moral laws, here is my understanding of it so you know where I stand on it:

All YHWH’s laws still stand as long as we have heaven and earth, (this is what Yahushua said, not one jot or tittle shall pass). I think the sacrifices, etc, still continue for those wishing to follow them. However for us, we bypass this because of the Melchisedek promise in Yahushua, and/or Yahushua Himself is our eternal sacrifice, so the sacrifice part still carries on in Yahushua.

I’m still not clear on this though, because Ezekiel seems to say that the sacrifices will return, even with Yahushua (or King David?) reigning with us for 1,000 years (unless I got it wrong).

About wool with linen, my assumption is that if the materials are different then it will cause different aging/shrinking/stretching processes so that the clothes are not durable. If it is just one material only for clothing, it might mean lasting wear for the clothes. I could be wrong though… YHWH saying “do not mix wool with linen” could be just simple wisdom, like “put parapet around roof tops” so that no one will be injured. Or as you shared, it could have deeper meaning or scientific reasons.

I agree with you nowhere in the law it says women must wear head covering. Except for the part in Num 5:18 where the jealous husband brings his wife to the head priest in the temple, and the priest uncovers the wife’s head. From this verse, most people assume that it is customary that women wore headcoverings back then, especially when entering in YHWH’s temple, and it applies to today’s churches/synagogues… but I agree with you nowhere does it say women are instructed to wear headcoverings in the first place. If it is important that they wear one in YHWH’s presence in His temple, surely He’d have said so in the first place while introducing all his teachings to Moses.

I did a research on this and came across a JSTOR article, it explained that the ancient hebrew words in this verse 18 for “uncover the woman’s head” were “para et ha rosh” and according to ancient customs the author researched, the words “para et ha rosh” could be interpreted as “shave the head” instead of “uncover the head” ... the latter being ambigous. if it was indeed “shave the head” then it would explain for no headcovering instructions back then, because there were no headcovering laws to begin with.

For 1 Corinthians 11, I see one problem with “uncovered” meaning bald hair, is that the below verses will not make sense, for example:

1Co 11:5 And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered (bald head) brings shame to her head (husband), for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved (how? Her head is already bald).

If “uncovered” means “no long hair”, the below verses will also not make sense:

1Co 11:5 And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered (no long hair) brings shame to her head (husband), for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
1Co 11:6 For if a woman is not covered (no long hair), let her also be shorn (how? No long hair means her hair is probably shorn or shaved already). But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered (with long hair).

Perhaps the possible solution is “uncover” = hair pinned up? e.g.

1Co 11:5 And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered (hair pinned up) brings shame to her head (husband), for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
1Co 11:6 For if a woman is not covered (hair pinned up), let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered (hair hanging down).

Perhaps the prophetesses of Diana wore their hairs up, braided and pinned up, elaborately?
It could also explain 1 Tim 2:9 about not having braided hair, because that is what the prophetesses wore, and Paul is trying to distance the believing women's appearance as far away from them, so that the men can identify who is for YHWH and who is not... a bit similar to YHWH asking the children of Israel not to shave the corners of their beards (e.g. showing goatees) because that was what (I assume) the pagans around them wore... the men obeyed and wore beards, and this stood them out from the other pagan nations...?

The other solution is “cover” = cloth covering the head, e.g.

1Co 11:5 And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered (no cloth covering) brings shame to her head (husband), for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved.
1Co 11:6 For if a woman is not covered (no cloth covering), let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered (with cloth covering).

I remember talking with Tom over at EliYah.com about this, and he brought up that the Greek Septuagint mentioned Haman being mortified about Mordechai being honoured, that he went and covered himself with a headcovering, using the same greek word being used here… so this verse is probably talking about a cloth hair covering. I am not sure.

Please do share more, I am very interested in your thoughts on this and enjoy discussing this topic :-)

Thank you and have a blessed sabbath.

Susan

p.s. this is the umm, fourth time I've tried to leave a comment, it keeps disappearing when I refreshed the page! :( hopefully it'll show up this time. I also left another comment recently (doesn't seem to show), I was wondering about you and Eric being both Christian and Messianics... whether you keep the Sabbath or not, because your church's information shows only of Sunday gatherings and none of Sabbath... what do they think about the Sabbath? Just curious, thanks :-) (hope this one stays in your website!) :-)
