Love Never Keeps Promises, Only Promises Keep Love

-
  Love Never Keeps Promises, Only Promises Keep Love Why the Foundation of Human Love is Not Feeling, but Commitment --- Introduction Since the fall of humanity into sin, our ability to love perfectly has been tainted. Human love becomes fragile, inconsistent, and vulnerable to self-interest. In this condition, God no longer bases His relationship with humanity on easily forgotten "words of love," but on eternal covenantal promises. This principle applies not only to the relationship between humans and God but also to interpersonal relationships—including marriage. --- 1. Love Never Keeps Promises Love, in the sense of human feeling, is fluctuating. It can strengthen in times of joy and weaken in the midst of difficulty. The biblical narrative is full of examples of human infidelity: - Israel repeatedly forgot their love for God and turned to idols. - David, called "a man after God's own heart," fell into adultery and murder. - Peter, who claimed he was ready to...

Abel = Christ = Bach = The Love of God, A German

-

 ABEL=CHRIST=BACH=AMOR DER LIEBE GOTT EIN DEUTSCHER.


(Abel = Christ = Bach = The Love of God, A German)


An interesting expression to dissect.  


---  


 1. Textual Analysis:  

- Cain and Abel (Genesis 4): The story of Cain’s (rejected) and Abel’s (accepted) offerings is often interpreted as a symbol of the conflict between evil and righteousness, or sinful man vs. a sacrifice pleasing to God.  

- Equating Abel with Christ: In Christian tradition, Abel is seen as a "type" (prefiguration) of Christ—the first innocent victim unjustly killed (Hebrews 12:24).  

- Bach and Amor Der Liebe Gott Ein Deutscher: This refers to composer J.S. Bach, whose works often glorified God ("Amor Der Liebe Gott" = The Love of God). The phrase "Ein Deutscher" (a German) affirms Bach’s identity as a vessel of divine expression through music.  


 2. Hermeneutics (Symbolic Interpretation):  

- Theological Pattern: The symbolic chain (Abel-Christ-Bach) suggests ideas of sacrifice, sacred art, and divine revelation throughout history.  

- Music as Worship: Bach represents the idea that art (especially music) can be a medium of divine love (Amor Der Liebe Gott), much like how Abel’s offering was accepted.  


 3. Exegesis (Contextual Interpretation):  

- Biblical Context: Abel is the "righteous" sacrifice (Matthew 23:35), and Christ is its fulfillment.  

- German Culture: Bach, as a Lutheran figure, used music to praise God—paralleling Abel’s pure offering.  

- Philosophical Layer: This expression may merge theology, art, and German identity into a narrative of salvation.  


 4. Core Message:  

The expression implies a continuity between biblical sacrifice, Christ’s incarnation, and the expression of faith through culture (Bach). It is a unique synthesis of religion, art, and national identity.

The Theory of "Yahweh Outside Israel" (Latest Archaeological Evidence)

-
The Theory of "Yahweh Outside Israel" (Latest Archaeological Evidence) There are several recent theories and findings that attempt to link other nations outside of ancient Israel with the worship of Yahweh (or a similar deity). However, most are still speculative or controversial. Here are some modern approaches: a. Kuntillet Ajrud Inscription (8th Century BC, Sinai) -   An inscription was found reading "Yahweh and his Asherah" (possibly referring to a divine pair of Yahweh and the goddess Asherah). -   It indicates that Yahweh was worshipped in regions outside Israel, perhaps by Edomites or Midianites. b. Khirbet el-Qom Inscription (Ancient Judea) -   Contains the name "Yahweh" alongside a phrase of protection, suggesting the worship of Yahweh among non-Israelites (or at least its influence). c. The Midianite-Kenite Hypothesis (The Origin of Yahweh Before Israel) -   Some scholars (like Prof. Thomas Römer) argue that Yahweh may have originated as a storm ...

The Fall, Theta, and the Lost Childlike Faith

  The Fall, Theta, and the Lost Childlike Faith: A Reflection on Knowledge and Innocence    Introduction   The story of Adam and Eve’s expulsion from Eden is more than a myth—it’s a profound exploration of humanity’s shift from innocent unity to fractured duality. At its core lies a paradox: the very knowledge that was supposed to make them "like God" (Genesis 3:5) instead alienated them from divine communion. What if this transition mirrors a deeper metaphysical principle—one that can even be framed through the lens of mathematics, physics, and theology?   This article examines the "theta state" of primordial innocence, the collapse into moral duality after eating the forbidden fruit, and Jesus’ call to reclaim childlike faith—not as ignorance, but as surrendered wisdom.   ---    1. Theta (θ): The State of Sacred Ignorance   Before the Fall, Adam and Eve existed in a state of pure relational trust—unashamed, una...
