The apostle Paul characterizes the issues involved as “disputable matters” (Romans 14:1). We look back on the food controversy and think, “Ah, it is something like the squabble between meat-eaters and vegetarians.” But Wilson reminds us that for early Christians, questions about food sacrificed to idols would have seemed vitally important, just as the same-sex marriage debate is important to us today. The most important contribution Wilson makes-one that may be original to him-is that he convincingly draws a corollary between the modern debate over same-sex marriage and the debate over food narrated in Romans 14 and 15. The most important contribution Wilson makes is that he convincingly draws a corollary between the modern debate over same-sex marriage and the debate over food narrated in Romans 14 and 15. But first-century people reading such verses would not have thought of them as prohibiting a faithful, egalitarian, commitment between two people of the same sex. These verses are important as we think about modern prison rape or male prostitution. Wilson synthesizes the substantial research done on the first-century context to show that same-sex relations took place primarily in the context of temple prostitution, pederasty, and sex with slaves. Similarly, in order to understand the biblical words used, we’ve got to understand what they meant in their context.Īncients had no equivalent for the modern word “homosexual.” Romans 1 uses the phrase “men committed shameless acts with men,” and two words with ambiguous meanings are used in other New Testament passages, arsenokoitai (1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10) and malakoi (1 Corinthians 6:9). If, for instance, someone had used the phrase “Don’t be gay” 50 years ago, most North Americans would have understood it to mean “Don’t be lighthearted.” The meaning of the phrase has changed immensely. In her introduction to the book, Phyllis Tickle describes this beautifully as she imagines the task of a clergy person like Wilson as that of spending “agonizing hours and days and weeks pouring studiously over sacred texts in relentless, ongoing attempts to penetrate the mysteries contained there, to discover their wisdom, their instruction, their relevance, and to consider the means and repercussions of their implementation within our here and now.”Īs a result of his study, Wilson contends that the Bible shouldn’t be used, as it often is, to wound LGBT sheep but instead we must understand the context in which the original words concerning same-sex relations were used. How is he to relate to these people and their pain? Should he exclude these injured sheep from the flock to fend for themselves? The resulting tension causes him to study the Scriptures as someone preparing to jump out of a plane might read parachute instructions. Called to be a shepherd, Wilson keeps finding wounded sheep-LGBT people who have been hurt by the church. If this is the case for eunuchs, might something similar apply to gays and lesbians?Īs Wilson recounts with profound honesty and vulnerability his struggle to understand, we sense his deep commitment to Scripture and are ushered into the heart of a pastor. Although eunuchs are excluded from temple worship in Deuteronomy 23:1, Isaiah 56:4 anticipates their inclusion, and New Testament passages (such as Matthew 19:12 and Acts 8:27-39) confirm their acceptance. As an evangelical pastor, Wilson turned to the Bible for guidance and noticed a trajectory concerning the Scriptures’ closest equivalent-eunuchs. The transgendered person’s home church insisted that he reverse the surgery and revert to his birth gender. Then he encountered a person, born with female genitalia, who had undergone gender-reassignment surgery in order to bring his body into alignment with his male gender identity. Like so many evangelical pastors, Wilson instinctively held the traditional view. One way he does this is by retracing his own journey. It is the best of the lot, largely because Wilson proves that the inclusive side can “take Scripture seriously.” I also just finished reading Ken Wilson’s A Letter to My Congregation: An Evangelical Pastor’s Path to Embracing People Who Are Gay, Lesbian, and Transgender into the Company of Jesus (David Crumm Media, 2014). I just counted the books on my selves about faith and homosexuality: I have 51.

The New Testament was written in popular Greek ( koiné), or Hellenistic Greek. The Old Testament was written in ancient Hebrew, with some chapters in Aramaic as well. The common reader of the Bible learns quite quickly that the version before their eyes is a translation. Beatty's collection, now housed in Dublin Castle, includes twelve important early Christian codices dating from the third to fourth century: their discovery was announced in The Times of London on November 17, 1931.What guarantees do we have that the texts from which modern translations of the Bible were made reflect the original? Consequently, the find sites of these items are unknown, though most are thought to have come from the Fayyum (an area southwest of Cairo). The American mining engineer Alfred Chester Beatty was a prominent collector of early biblical materials, many of which he purchased from Egyptian dealers. Freer's collection of manuscripts remains the most important of its kind outside the Middle East and Europe. He even bought an early Coptic bookstand on which such volumes would originally have been displayed. Freer also acquired codices of the Psalms, the Epistles of Paul, and, in 1916, the Minor Prophets. One contains the books of Deuteronomy and Joshua and the other the Freer Gospels, also known as Codex Washingtonensisone of the earliest versions of the Greek Bible. "I am a little in doubt as to the wisdom of letting it be known.that I anticipate visiting Egypt," explained Detroit industrialist Charles Lang Freer, "as one can never measure the competition that may spring up if it is known a real search is being made for rareties."įreer's 1906 purchase of early biblical manuscripts from Ali Arabi, a dealer in Giza, Egypt, includes two substantially complete Greek codices dating from the late fourth or early fifth century. Photographs taken at the time convey the excitement of the scholars who were the first to study these long-lost works.Ī number of collectors felt the thrill of the chase for biblical manuscripts, and they relished the clandestine negotiations surrounding their purchases. In 1896≩8, Cambridge University academics Solomon Schechter and Charles Taylor shipped the bulk of the Cairo Genizah's contents to Cambridge for further research some of those fragments are exhibited in this gallery. A genizah was a sealed room where copies of scripture with scribal errors were stored until they could be ritually destroyed. It was only in the nineteenth century that European and American explorers, archaeologists, and others made their way to Egypt, seeking to learn how the Bible was transformed into a complex symbol of faith.Įxciting finds included the Cairo Genizah, associated with the thousand-year-old Ben Ezra Synagogue. The Christian concept of the Bible was established long before many of its earliest materials were discovered in the Middle East. The quest to discover ancient biblical manuscripts Each has its own distinctive a tale to tell. Others have languished, concealed in desert caves, sealed up in long-forgotten rooms, or buried to await resurrection by archaeologists. Some of these manuscripts have remained in ancient monastic libraries or cathedral treasuries since they were written. This exploration of the Bible's first thousand years also reveals the parallel development of the bookone of the world's great technological revolutions.įrom fragile fragments of papyrus and humble early parchment codices to resplendent illuminated manuscripts, In the Beginning presents the physical evidence of the earliest versions of both Bible and book. The exhibition brings together a rare assemblage of several important early Hebrew and Christian biblesthe first time many of these fragile treasures have been shown to the public. In the Beginning: Bibles Before the Year 1000 tells the story of this formative period. Out of this rich diversity and cultural complexity emerged the modern Bible. Over time, some texts were accepted as part of the canon of belief, while others were excluded as apocryphal and heretical. The Bible developed gradually, over many centuries, as the result of cultural interaction and exchange among many different societies. The Bible has been called the best-selling book of all time, though the term itself comes from biblia, Greek for a collection of books.

The Medium is the right balance of everything. The Icky is filthy and isn’t taken care of. The Paunchy is always hungry and needs a lot of food. The Brakmarian is independent, stubborn, and doesn’t need that much attention. The Bontarian is wise, protective, and needs your attention. There are six different evolutions in the game: Bontarian, Brakmarian, Charming, Paunchy, Icky, and Measured. The way you treat your pet affects how it will evolve. One of the most interesting features of DOFUS Pets is the evolution. If one of these gauges becomes zero, your pet will die. The life gauge, which is red with a heart, represents the life points of your pet. Making your pet sleep will help regain his energy. This gauge decreases whenever you play a game and over time. The energy gauge, which is blue and has a lighting bolt on it, shows how much energy your pet has. Each food has a different effect and the appetite and weight gauge. This gauge decreases over time and can be replenished with food. The appetite gauge, which is green with a chicken leg, represents the hunger of your pet. It diminishes when you force your pet to do something it doesn’t want to, woken up when it’s not rested enough, or when you reprimand it with a slap. This increases if you play with your pet or give in to its demands. The joy gauge, which is yellow and has a smiley face, keeps track of how happy your pet is. These two gauges are fairly easy to manage as giving your pet a bath using soap will make your pet squeaky clean again and playing games with your pet makes it lose the unwanted weight. The weight gauge is orange with a weighing scale as its icon and will get higher depending on what your pet eats. The dirtiness gauge is green with a splat as its icon and will get higher as your pet becomes dirtier. The two round gauges at the top of the others that were not mentioned in the tutorial are the dirtiness gauge and the weight gauge. You need to always be aware of your pet’s status and always check its gauges to know what your pet needs. The tutorial of DOFUS Pets explains this in detail, and you’ll have no problem getting the hang of it the first time.

I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a trait that emulates some of his behaviors.Ĭurrently this trait applies the following effects to sims. Originally I wanted the grim reaper to join one of my households but when I learned he couldn't woohoo/date/kiss without losing his special effects I was heart broken. These sims are quite similar to their patron, Death. I am actively working on a version of the trait that is a selectable lifetime reward however I'm uncertain how long it will take. I personally still use it because it's quite handy. Your sim should now have the trait assigned to them, you do not need to keep clown's mod installed after you assign the trait. Scroll down the list until you see Reaper then select it. Select the "Cheat Sim Info." bubble then select the "Add Trait." bubble. You'll need to install the mod listed above then shift+left click the sim whom you want to assign the trait to. If you're using the (Hidden) version of the trait you'll need to assign the trait manually. It requires the use of Clown's mod located here > Reaper (Hidden): Is a very quick and dirty fix for those who want only a few select sims with the trait and not a whole town. Be warned townies can be assigned this trait so you might see some randomly generated reapers. Reaper's Apathy will occur more often and also had it's emotional intensity increased. Reaper (Updated): Is the updated version of the trait.

Did I mention a FREE continental breakfast, ALL for a lower room rate. for my last night I went to another Hotel really close by which was great!! They have a FREE coffee station near the lobby area, great comfortable clean room, and bathroom with fantastic lighting and a makeup mirror! And a good size Microwave with all the other great amenities. NO microwave, the TV placement is off if you try watching TV from the bed, and little Kleenex in the box which emptied after a few uses. Not to mention I also picked up a few hairs from the shower before using it. Yellow'sh bathtub, mold spots on the shower tiles and curtain liner, which a curtain liner is $1.25 at the dollar tree so you would think it would get replaced. Nope!! High price room for a bathroom that has bad lighting so if you try to put on your make-up good luck, not even a makeup mirror.

I booked a King guest room on the first floor since I saw the good reviews on here. It's the little things and special details that make a stay memorable and enjoyable, and this property does not deliver. This isn't a world-stopping problem, but it is an example of people that just don't pay attention to details, or just plain don't care. Off I go to the room with my mystery coffee. I am told there is none, but the front desk is able to locate 2 mini creamers after some rooting around.I make the coffee's and look for lids, and there are none.I ask the front desk for lids and after rooting around, they find 2 that are the wrong size. I choose one, fill up my paper cups and ask where the cream or milk is, because it is not in the fridge below the coffee urns ( see photo). I ask the front desk which is which and they don't know. Best example: I woke pearly, and headed down to the lobby to find coffee.In the lobby I find two unlabeled coffee urns (which is which?). The hallways are dark grey and give the claustrophobic appearance of walking through submarine.The bathroom tiles look dirty (yuck).The place just doesn't feel inviting or comforting, unlike most other Marriott's I have stayed at.The most annoying thing about the stay was a lack of attention to detail or just a lack of caring on the managements part. I try to stay at Marriott properties whenever possible and stay loyal to the brand, but I just don't get this place. My wife and I stayed here for a quick overnight.

This has certain security implications, particularly for processes that run as the root user, because root is allowed to do anything, however dangerous. To say the server runs "as" a given user means that the server process is associated with the user ID of that user's login account, and that it has that user's privileges for reading and writing files in the filesystem. You want the server to run as some user other than root. You should keep in mind two goals for your MySQL server startup procedures under Unix: If instead I use the su command to switch user to root and then start the server, it runs as root. For example, if I log in as paul and start the server, it runs as paul. If you start the server manually, it runs as the Unix user you happen to be logged in as. On a multi-user operating system such as Unix, you have a choice about which login account to use for running the server. (This is in fact probably how you'll start the server under normal operating conditions after you get everything set up the way you want.) But before discussing how to start the server, let's consider which login account should be used to start it. It's also possible to arrange for the server to run automatically at system boot time as part of the standard startup procedure. On Unix, the MySQL server can be started either manually or automatically at system startup time. Many aspects of the procedures for this are different for Unix and Windows, so the following discussion covers them separately. But we can at least discuss how to get the server started and stopped so that you have the ability to perform either operation as you see fit. The tension between the desire to keep the server running and the need to stop it occasionally is something this book can't resolve for you. For example, if you're relocating a database, you can't have the server updating tables in that database at the same time, so you must shut it down. Occasionally, however, it's necessary to stop the server. One general goal that you have as a MySQL administrator is to make sure that the server, mysqld, is running as much of the time as possible so that your users can access it.
