For profit prisons?
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2012/08/13/681261/mississippi-schools-sending-kids-to-prison-for-misbehaving-in-the-classroom/?mobile=nc

When you put private companies in charge of prisons they make a profit, can you do the same with education and pay for it with public money? i mean prison is free for the user right? Why not run schools on this basis too??

Putn33 on Churchill: "Genocidal Maniac If There Ever Was One"...Fact or Fiction?
Putin, you're free to comment, freer to drop one of your clever cries of "jackass" or "doofus" below for my daring to disagree.
I don't think Churchill was "a Genocidal Maniac If There Ever Was One."
But maybe I'm wrong...am I? Have I missed a key memoir where Winston vows to expunge the Catholics or Jews or threatened to murder someone for saying the bar was empty or something? Or...is Putin being Putin?

Wherein the ancient story of God and man, heaven and hell, life and death, love and hate, sacrifice and murder, the fall and the rescue, and angels and demons, continues.

Mario, that's a good point. An image that helps me get my brain around it is that the Earth was made for man, and man was made for fellowship with God--but God is perfect goodness, a blinding light, and no darkness (sin) can survive in that blaze. But God had a plan in mind for what would happen if, of our own free will, before man had a sinful nature, we chose selfish ambition, rebellion, and to trust the tempter instead of God. And that plan was to rescue us and bring us into right standing with ourselves. The image of payment of our debts/sins is only one of the ways the Bible explains how Jesus' death on the cross helps us. Another is the kinsman-redeemer of Israel, a law that stated that an Israelite if sold their ancestral lands, their nearest relative could buy it back in a certain year. So Jesus is our kinsman-redeemer who bought back our original birthright--fellowship with God--which we were too broke to buy back.

Oh man. "Bring us into right standing with ourselves" hahaha! Now I'M writing gobbledgook. *sigh* Of course what I meant was, to bring us into right standing with himself, or to erase the debt, or whatever other image fits. Those who are familiar with Don Richardson's story Peace Child will be aware of the redemptive analogy contained in his account, one that the local culture could understand.

@Anglican:

It is worthy to note that only 2 of the Gospels (Luke and John iirc) mention any resurrection. Matthew and Mark (generally the more factual gospels) say nothing. Also note that the gospels were written at least 30 years after Jesus died. What we have here is an author, known for evocative writing, telling people that Jesus appeared to the apostles, decades after it supposedly happened.

Today's Bible reading is Luke Chapter 2, in which we see the birth of the promised Messiah. The angels appear to the shepherds, Simeon and Anna rejoice to see the day, and Mary and Joseph are very surprised at what all these people are saying about him.
http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Luk&c=2&v=1&t=NLT#1
The shepherds' story: 8 That night there were shepherds staying in the fields nearby, guarding their flocks of sheep. 9 Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared among them, and the radiance of the Lord’s glory surrounded them. They were terrified, 10 but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. 11 The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the city of David! 12 And you will recognize him by this sign: You will find a baby wrapped snugly in strips of cloth, lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in highest heaven,
and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”
15 When the angels had returned to heaven, the shepherds said to each other, “Let’s go to Bethlehem! Let’s see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
16 They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph. And there was the baby, lying in the manger. 17 After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what had happened and what the angel had said to them about this child. 18 All who heard the shepherds’ story were astonished, 19 but Mary kept all these things in her heart and thought about them often. 20 The shepherds went back to their flocks, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen. It was just as the angel had told them.

Mujus, be more selective in your Bible readings. Think about your audience, don't just throw random chunks of New Testament at us! Today's reading is inappropriate for a bunch of adult men.
@ Gobbledygook

I'm not sure about what you mean regarding Mark and Matthew not mentioning and resurrection. The Gospel of Mark sort version ends with the proclamation of the empty tomb and alludes to a future meeting in Gallilee between Jesus and his disciples. Even if you take the idea that verse 16:8 is the last verse of the gospel the resurrection is clearly there. Matthew explicitly mentions Jesus' resurrection and meetings with disciples afterward. If they are considered the more factual, neither of them ignores the resurrection. Mark 16:1-8 and Matthew 28 1-8 both give accounts stating that Jesus has risen and is no longer in the tomb.

This chapter also covers the temple incident when at age 12, the age Jewish boys started working at their father's occupations, Jesus didn't leave Jerusalem with his family and their large group, but after frantic searching they found him in the temple. Here's the story:
41 Every year Jesus’ parents went to Jerusalem for the Passover festival. 42 When Jesus was twelve years old, they attended the festival as usual. 43 After the celebration was over, they started home to Nazareth, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. His parents didn’t miss him at first, 44 because they assumed he was among the other travelers. But when he didn’t show up that evening, they started looking for him among their relatives and friends.
45 When they couldn’t find him, they went back to Jerusalem to search for him there. 46 Three days later they finally discovered him in the Temple, sitting among the religious teachers, listening to them and asking questions. 47 All who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 His parents didn’t know what to think. “Son,” his mother said to him, “why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere.”
49 “But why did you need to search?” he asked. “Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?” [fn4] 50 But they didn’t understand what he meant.
51 Then he returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. And his mother stored all these things in her heart.
52 Jesus grew in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and all the people.

Today's Bible reading is Luke 3
http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Luk&c=3&v=1&t=NLT
which begins like this:
1 It was now the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius, the Roman emperor. Pontius Pilate was governor over Judea; Herod Antipas was ruler [fn1] over Galilee; his brother Philip was ruler [fn2] over Iturea and Traconitis; Lysanias was ruler over Abilene. 2 Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests. At this time a message from God came to John son of Zechariah, who was living in the wilderness. 3 Then John went from place to place on both sides of the Jordan River, preaching that people should be baptized to show that they had repented of their sins and turned to God to be forgiven. 4 Isaiah had spoken of John when he said,
“He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the LORD’s coming!
Clear the road for him!
5 The valleys will be filled,
and the mountains and hills made level.
The curves will be straightened,
and the rough places made smooth.
6 And then all people will see
the salvation sent from God.’” [fn3]

ZMaj, I'm following a logical progression, First the book of John, because he focuses in so sharply on Jesus' love and a personal relationship with him, and now Luke,who brings in more of the women's perspective and experiences, and who also wrote the book called The Acts of the Apostles, which will be the next one I post chapters from. I really don't think that just because you heard the Christmas story when you were a kid doesn't mean that it's not appropriate for adult men.

So (according to this bible reading) there were approximately 76 generations between Adam and Jesus .... weird .... I thought the greeks were around at least 8000 years before 0 AD.
@ hammac

So far I haven't run into any Young Earth Creationists in this thread nor are we really making any Sola Scriptura claims. We're just a small group talking about Bible Passages. It seems like you just walked in and yelled "Hey Bob! I'm calling you out!!" and we're looking around uncomfortably asking "Do you know anybody named Bob?"
Mujus (1495 D(B))
15 May 12 UTC
Yeah, what he said. :-) --I personally don't know how complete the genealogies are, nor if they are meant to be. For example, Matthew's genealogies are grouped in sevens for symbolic reasons, or at least that's what I understand. But could it have been only that many generations? Yes, if some of those generations lived over 900 years as the Bible states. Is this something I understand? No. Is it required to believe that all parts of the Bible are literally true, as opposed to symbolically, in order to trust Jesus for salvation/rescue? Absolutely not.
Mario4Ever (100 D)
15 May 12 UTC
This is somewhat off-topic, but Mujus, what is your opinion of the "lost books" of the Bible (particularly the Infancy Gospel of Thomas http://www.gnosis.org/naghamm/gthlamb.html) regarding their influence on our understanding of Jesus and the "accepted texts" as a whole? I would appreciate it if you ignored the fact that they're considered to be outside of Judeo-Christian canon (in other words, examine the content as if it was present in the Bible as it currently exists).
orathaic (1009 D(B))
16 May 12 UTC
@Mujus, is it reasonable to assume that any/all parts of the bible may be symbolic rather than literal and still be able to find meaning in the teachings of Jesus of Nazereth?

If we're able to find meaning, regardless of how we read the book, is the meaning we find more a reflection of us than of the source material?

I think you said that people should read the bible with a willingness to believe (maybe not your words, and not exact, but i've heard them somewhere) What does this tell you about the relative importance of this particular book and of humans ability to believe (or be skeptical* about) pretty much anything?

There is something about human nature here if you ask me...

*there are those who say that reading the bible with an open mind is the fastest route to atheism.
Mujus (1495 D(B))
16 May 12 UTC
Mario, I can't ignore the fact that those books were unanimously not accepted as canon by the early church because I do believe that the books we have today were the ones God intended us to have in our Bibles. That said, I'm not an expert on the Gospel of Thomas, but I seem to remember reading that it's the origin of some of the extra-biblical practices of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as some other churches. But I believe in divine revelation.
@ orathaic
We covered the Book of Job in the other thread were we talked about the Bible as Literature. I haven't watched the entire cartoon yet, but the guy's comments about Job seem pretty typical. God is the bad guy, the devil is just being the devil, and Job is some poor slob sympathetic on one level because he’s suffering, but he’s frustrating on another because he’s seen as the poster boy for blind obedience.
My initial assessment of that story is here:
http://webdiplomacy.net/forum.php?viewthread=871069#871069
There is one thing I find funny, and the commentary included with that link affirms this thought: “Many religious folk are told what this book is about, but don't actually read it for themselves”, “or they squirm with inaccurate interpretations that are directly contrary to the actual literature.” It’s basically the idea that most of us “religious folk” either don’t know and don’t care what the Bible means or that we make stuff up to make the stories work. If we are to take this idea as truth then only a minority of religious people can actually read, analyze, and come up with a reasonable opinion as to the meaning of a written passage. I’d love to be able to start arguments that way, but I think I’d lose a bit of credibility by saying basically “Hey guy’s before we start let me assure you that the other guy is either a mindless zombie with no capacity for individual thought, or a desperate liar who’ll say whatever possible to make his point seem like it holds water”.
@ Mario

The books that you refer to range from some controversial ones to others that were thought to be good books but not meant to be regarded as schripture. I'm not sure what you mean to gain by including them in a Thread that's specifically for Daily Bible Passages. Perhaps a thread containing about these extra biblical books would be in order. The Holy Bible itself is a tall order for one thread to stay focused on. Adding additional works may be a bit distracting?
Mujus (1495 D(B))
16 May 12 UTC
Orathaic, I admire your insight and logic, but I don't agree with your basic assumptions. I think I said that you have to read the Bible with a willingness to know the truth, or something to that effect, without an insistence that the universe is only what we see and hear with our five senses. Otherwise, how could you possibly truly consider the reality of spiritual things?
Mujus (1495 D(B))
16 May 12 UTC
And Orathaic, don't forget that Jesus rejected the false spirituality of the Pharisees, and that many religious people would be rejected because he "knew you not." So yes, people are capable of reading many things into the Bible, including false things, or much worse, using it as just a club in an attempt to beat their beliefs into others, and that includes religious people.
Mujus (1495 D(B))
16 May 12 UTC
And Ora, many atheists who have tried reading the Bible with an open mind have accepted God's plan for their lives.
Mujus (1495 D(B))
16 May 12 UTC
Anglican, that's probably a very good idea. To paraphrase Solomon, there is no end to philosophies, and it's going to take a long time to get through the Bible as it is.
@ orathaic

"If we're able to find meaning, regardless of how we read the book, is the meaning we find more a reflection of us than of the source material?"

I think, as with reading anything, it has to be both a reflection of us and the source material. In reading the Holy Bible it's the belief of Christians that there is a third party as well entering into that text-to-self relationship. We also try to add to that discussion of the material to find out what others have seen or have said about it.
@ orathaic
Here we go (bit by bit) The Book of Job - Intro
I’m struck with the visceral reaction that the Book of Job pulls out of almost everyone who reads it. I have yet to hear anyone read it and not have that initial emotional response. For me that is a mark of Great Literature. It will not allow you to ignore it and it doesn’t invite you to sit the fence. Therefore I will not. I love the Book of Job. I see it as challenging on many levels. It has gut wrenching tragedy even some would say outright betrayal. Its central message is completely the opposite of what other works of the time period were saying. It provides us a spiritual model for righteousness that nobody desires to be tested upon, and tells us that we are able to tell right from wrong and judge our own actions. It is all around a great story, and it is the very problems it poses that make it so.

@Crazy Ang (et al) you said: There is one thing I find funny, and the commentary included with that link affirms this thought: “Many religious folk are told what this book is about, but don't actually read it for themselves”, “or they squirm with inaccurate interpretations that are directly contrary to the actual literature."

First, let me apologise. I didn't read that in the link, i don't think that attitude is useful for this discussion and I in no way meant to imply my opposition we illiterate or misguided/blind.
orathaic (1009 D(B))
16 May 12 UTC
Again @crazy A: you said "I think, as with reading anything, it has to be both a reflection of us and the source material. In reading the Holy Bible it's the belief of Christians that there is a third party as well entering into that text-to-self relationship. We also try to add to that discussion of the material to find out what others have seen or have said about it."

So you believe that the interpretation is mediated by God to ensure you get the right interpretation?

In which case i might ask, is this third party obvious so that i would be aware of it or is it only obvious after reading that my interpretation is truely inspired by God? Or am i misreading you?

Also on discussing the literature and seeing what other interpretations people took, that is interesting again to me in that it speaks to the type of person they are; And if they are capable of holding their own interpretation while understanding your own that tells even more about their worldview.

Paradoxical Quote of The Day From Ben Stein
"Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to
prove they are insured... but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."
