Thought for Today: Friday September 05
I find it very encouraging that YHVH included real-life; flesh-and-blood; sinful people in His Word. David committed adultery, Abraham lied, Moses murdered – the list goes on and on. Why are they in the Bible? So that we can learn from their wrong-doings. One lesson is that sin always has consequences. YHVH has much to teach us from the examples of His people who failed. But most of His Word, points us to the Moshiach, Who alone can forgive us and set our feet on the high-path.
Bear spray works, you don't have to shoot the animal. He must have had a head ache after running blind into that tree.

...those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and to the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in marriage, for they cannot die anymore, because they are equal to angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.
Luke 20:35-36
It is not the immortality itself that negates the need for marriage, because marriage was instituted before death came into the world. It must be immortality plus something else. Maybe it is the great number of believers who will be resurrected or a change in humanity's mission that no longer requires procreation or the exclusive partnership of man and woman.
I can only speculate.
A commonly referred verse is Isaiah 7:14, “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.” Christians consider this to be a sign of the messiah, however the word translated as virgin is not specific and is defined originally as a young woman. Also the child is described as needing to learn the difference between good and evil and the questions should be asked if that is something the real messiah would need to learn. Another problem would be that before the boy learns the difference which indicates while he is very young the land of two kings would be laid to waste.
