Just watched Torah in Context-Ancient Light for a Modern Heart #0
Look forward to #1 — But I’m still confused about the wool & linen subject – was it just to express not to mingle, shatanez/שעטנז – is it literal – don’t mix them or wear them together for anyone or just for priesthood? or was there a product no one was suppose to purchase? Or was it something a pagans wore? Todah!
A special edition of the Bible was produced specifically for “Negros”, and stripped of passages such as: Galatians 3:28, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Also refer to, Colossians 3:11, 1 Timothy 1:10, and Exodus 21:16, likewise stripped-out of the “Negro’s Bible”. And in the meanwhile, Ephesians 6:5 remained in it, “Servants, be obedient to them that are (your) masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as unto Christ”.
The irony of the use of the music you cite originated with the Jews as a nation, who were told by God to always remember they were once slaves in Egypt. The dig in Gershwin’s “stolen” music was aimed at diabolical slave-holders, who doubtless were ones depicted, I suppose, as central to the story of Porgy and Bess.
“Thou shalt not steal” means; there are those, who are special targets of God, thieves worthy of death according to Exodus 21:6. Thus, the fullness and entire meaning of the Eighth Commandment is the prohibition against man-stealing: for, any theft is an assault on all mankind : theft against all is the essence of any theft. Theft can do untold damage and God because of theft, is liable to smite the earth with a curse (Malachi 4:5-6).
