[BrianWall-ChessList] Reverend Tom Stuart on - The Boy Jesus in the Temple

Wed Jan 6 13:53:56 MST 2010

I went to a synogogue recently for the first time in my life. They had a twofold
prayer that went something like this - let us pray that all people embrace one
religion so there is no more fighting. Let us pray that all people tolerate
each other's religion. I don't know if I got it right. I think at one time
Christians were not allowed in snyagogues and Jews were not allowed in
Churches. Being the product of a mixed marriage, both sides interest me. I
agree that the enduring values of the Bible, steeped in eternal truth, is the
reason for its lengevity.

Brian:

The Dead sea scrolls have very little to do with the Life of Jesus.

They only have one book displayed in the Dead Sea Library in Israel I
visited.

There are contradictions in the bible , an why would there not be if more
than one person wrote their version of what happened.  Some people seek to
destroy the faith by picking at straws.

I say that if you want to believe, now is the time. If not, then that
decision could have consequences.

If we only live by the two commandments Jesus spoke about. Love God with all
your heart and Love everyone else as you would yourself. End of discussion.
There would be no wars and only peace and tranquility. Religion serves us
all if we follow the goodness it expresses. If not we seek to serve our
selves only. This is an unmistakable quagmire and bottomless pit we dig for
ourselves. The King James Bible has lasted because it serves us.

Thanks for all you messages and hard work and time to do so.

Love and Light, Rev. Tom Stuart

King James Bible

The Boy Jesus in the Temple

41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover

Ex. 12.1-27 · Deut. 16.1-8

42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the
custom

of the feast.

43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus

tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey

and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.

45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking

him.

46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple,

sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them

questions.

47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

48 And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him,
Son,

why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee

sorrowing.

49 And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I
must

be about my Father's business?

50 And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.

51 And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto
them:

but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.
1

Sam. 2.26 · Prov. 3.4

I have always loved the King James Bible for it's poetic language. My Uncle
Jim

is a Deacon in the Catholic Church and informs me that the KJB is not the

official Bible of Catholics due to religious disputes. I have also heard
that

modern scholars consider the Bible riddled with error after study of the
Dead

Sea scrolls.

God Calls You By Name

Joyce Stolberg

Two Editons

U.S. Catholic Bishops -

Office of Catechism

My publisher Jackie of Mother's House Publishing is a devout Catholic.
Jackie

told me of the stringent measures the Catholic Church took before they would

sanction her " God Calls You By Name " by Joyce Stolberg. After you publish
a

Catholic book and submit the manuscript you have ONE phone call to inform
the

Church and IF they call you back the book is poured over by at least 200

Catholic scholars checking for errors of doctrine. The process takes months
if

not years. It is quite an honor to get this book published and I would

love to buy one for my Uncle Jim. Last I heard this book and How To Play
Chess

Like An Animal were her two biggest sellers.

Pete Short is a security officer at Raytheon, busting everyone from slackers

taking too long in the ping pong room to industrial spies. He even retrieved

Tim Brennan's expensive sunglasses which went missing at a Chess tournament
due

to some excellent detective work. Let's see if he can crack this security
leak.

Private sources deep inside Raytheon inform me that Kosher Patzer Shannon
Fox

played 12 year old co-author Isaac Martinez and was impressed by the boy's

progress - it was a tough game.

Pete scoffed - " I took every piece that boy had to offer! " referring to

a game played when Isaac was 7 years old with a 100 provisional rating.

Therefore all the Raytheon Chessplayers were in sticthes when

sceptic Short was schooled by 12 year old Jesus in the temple.

This happened at the recent Al Ufer Memorial Reserve section in

Manitou Springs, CO where Ginny Gaige cracked 4 digits again.

1. f4

Pete played 1 c4 religiously for over a decade and now

he tries to confuse the boy with another flank opening.

1 ... Nc6 2. b3 e5 3. fxe5 Nxe5 4. Nf3 Ng4

I am playing the Fishing Pole,

what are you playing?

5. h3?? Bd6!!

A one-ply threat to drive the Knight away is met by a two-ply mate threat.

Pete has managed to irreparably irrigate his dark squares in 5 moves after
15

years of tournament Chess(don't forget to ask him about his Class C trophy).

6. d4

The only way for Pete to avoid checkmate is to move his e-pawn or d-pawn.

6 ... Bg3+!! 7. Kd2! Only move Nf2!! 8. Qe1?

Pete is still living in one-ply CandyLand -

examples:

I attack isaac's Knight, he must move it.

Isaac attacks my Queen, I must move it.

Better check that security videotape in the lobby again, Camera 3.

It's best to let the Queen sit on her throne than risk more hemorrhaging.

8 ... Nxh1!!

Picking up a Rook and coming back for the Queen!

9. Qxg3

Elevating himself from one-ply Candyland to Mousetrap -

9 Qd1 Nf2 10 Qe1 Ne4+ 11 Kd3 B:e1

9 ... Nxg3

0-1

The scoresheet was thrown out in the family tradition so I am not

sure if Pete stumbled into double digits a Queen and Rook down.

Rumor has it the f1-Bishop was added to the funeral pyre.

Top Secret Raytheon interoffice memos are being subpoenaed as we speak

to confirm.
