Quote by John E. Goldingay

“The Bible assumes that we do not know instinctively how to talk with God but rather need some help with knowing how to do so. The Psalter is the Bible’s book of praise and prayer to provide the answer to those questions and meet that need. It is given to us so that we can “adapt and adjust our minds and feelings so that they are in accord with the sense of the psalms.”Eugene Peterson thus comments that the Psalms are where Christians have always learned to pray—till our age!”

“God made them male and female- two words not crafted by a person, or group, or society, or culture, or America for that matter, but used by God to describe what He'd make and exactly what He'd designed them to be. Out of the same God came two different bodies. And after creating them, lastly, after all that had been made before, God looked at them and everything else and called it and them good. The plants? Good. The stars? Good The fish's fins? Good. What about Adam and Even? What about their eyes, and how their mind made them see the same thing through a different lens? Or their hands, and how Adam's were wide enough to hold a hoof or two and Eve's small enough to fit a bird in it. Or Eve's voice and how it sounded like the morning and his, sounding like he'd just spit out a mountain. Or his brow bone, strong as a fist. Her face, soft as an amen. All of this, God said was a 'very' good thing. Why? Because a good God made it.”

“Douay translation has the approval of the successor of St. Peter and all the bishops of the Church Universal, whereas the chief and basic Protestant Bible contents itself with the approval of King James of England and the parliament of that nation. As is evident even to the most superficial students of Sacred Scripture, there is nothing in the Bible, or elsewhere, except the laws made by Englishmen, that gives an English king or any other King or any civil government any right whatever over the Word of God.”

“Moving along the precession of Equinoxes, we are on the verge of transitioning out of the 2,160 year age of Pisces into the Age of Aquarius. Pisces has the simplified energy of "I believe," which created 2,160 years of believing. Aquarius is the age of "insight and knowledge.”

“It is understood that, at the moment, the consciousness of many rests lightly upon the surface. It is the difference between exoteric and esoteric, between believing and knowing. There will be many unable or unwilling to shake ancient prejudices.”

“If you pick a star in the sky, it will be one degree off 72 years later. It will take 25,920 years for this to complete its orbit. This 25,920 year span represents the precession of the equinoxes cycle.”
