In other news, still consistently going 2-1 in these drafts. This deck was pretty godawful too but somehow I managed to pull it off thanks to the fun of evasion/buffs. http://i.imgur.com/SBMxrPj.png M1 was against a guy who drafted way better U/W cards than I did, including a goddamn fucking Narset. He durdled his way to a time out though so I was fine with the win. M2 was a Silumgar deck, and I never drew lands so I was completely blown out. M3 was nothing special to speak of, I just won. | ||

Well I pulled it off once (power word on lightwell with divine spirit+inner fire the next turn) but I had the crazed alchemist that time. It's also easier than hoping you draw your silences for his board wipes (or kill him before he gets an unstable ghoul). Executus' last turn is scary though, I was wondering when it'd finish. | ||

Watched Furious 7 today... + Show Spoiler + Kinda sad, because I know they're looking to make an 8th movie and... well, the series has gone Game of Thrones on me. Gal Gadot was the only main cast female that I found attractive, Han(fav character) is dead, and part of the reason I liked the series early on is because Paul Walker(RIP) looked a lot like what I expected a childhood friend of mine to looks like as an adult. I don't dislike the remaining 4 crew members, but I don't feel any attachment to the characters. =\ I would play, though that might involve going out and buying the new edition. | ||

Because I thought the whole point of the story was "Don't fuck with Jews or god will kill your kids" It's more "don't mess with God/YHWH who happened to chose this people that you oppressed". Prior to this slavery the Israelites lived in peace in Egypt's backyard, beginning with Joseph who happened to, according to the story  , saved thousands(millions?) by instituting a government mandated storage of grain in preparation for the seven years of famine and brought Egypt a lot of power as no one else saved up food for that time. I guess you could say God made an example of the Egyptian people, personified in Pharaoh who was proud and defiant and unrepentant of his treatment of the Israelites. The last plague was indiscriminate, it would kill anyone's firstborn if the lamb's blood was not placed on the header of door. It's a symbol of God's wrath, which is on everyone as everyone has sinned, but it passes over those who have sacrificed a lamb (accepted Jesus' sacrifice, death and resurrection). Even the Levitical system of law involving animal sacrifices to forgive the sins of the people appears to be a foreshadowing of the final/ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ. There were thousands and thousands of Jews that believed at the beginning of the New Testament, there are plenty of Messianic Jews today. It's ok to say, "I don't believe your story" but it's not clear to me why you would say, "I don't see the symbolism." Yes, it's a Christian perspective but it's very much a part of the Bible despite what people who claim Christ may say otherwise. I'm not entirely comfortable with the story, it leads to a lot of questions. However, I don't just toss it all away because I can't understand it fully right now. There's a crazy amount of prophecies from the Old Testament fulfilled by one person Jesus Christ and I'm going to keep trying to understand it all. @phyvo I will let you know. It looks like there is a pdf online if you look. I'm more than happy to give you a review though. @req non-presser. | ||

This would be anachronistic, since the Pentateuch was written/compiled some time between 900 BC and 400 BC, predating the birth of Jesus by a few hundred years. The sacrifice of Jesus is not part of the Jewish tradition as outlined by the Old Testament, either historically or religiously. | ||

You don't need to draw the divine spirit+inner fire combo early. Just keep clearing his board and keep the lightwells healed up in the interim. He runs out of steam fast. | ||

The sacrifice of Jesus is not part of the Jewish tradition as outlined by the Old Testament, either historically or religiously. Is foreshadowing a better word? I'm not sure what you're getting at. YHWH/God is the same in the Pentateuch and the Bible. I'm of the opinion God knew what was going to happen 400-900 years later. Paul, a "Jew among Jews", said this in regards to the scriptures (Would be Old Testament for him): "all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come." 1 Cor 10:11 I said from a Christian perspective there is symbolism of what God was planning to do. From a Jewish perspective (which I can't speak from, not being Jewish) I'd imagine it's in line with all the other "holidays" which were mostly to remember past events and pass along that knowledge generation to generation. It's also interesting Jesus and the disciples celebrate Passover the night before his crucifixion. | ||

How can we know which parts to pretend don't exist and which parts were prophecy? Is there a time when we will understand those parts well enough to see how they apply? This is a difficult post to respond to. I'm not going to pretend anything doesn't exist. My short answer to your last question is yes. I'll give it more thought to respond further, are you actually wanting me to address each point you've raised? | ||

But I'd have to echo what Cheep said. The bible (both testaments) were not written by god. If you believe that they were written by god, then it's not really symbolism is it, it's the literal truth. If you want to look at it as a story that is symbolic of something, then you have to go by the assumption that it's not the word of god, which means that it can't be intentionally foreshadowing something that happened hundreds of years later. It is possible that the Jesus story and the Passover story both have the same symbolism (IE God won't punish someone who sacrifices for god.) but to call the earlier one a prelude to the later one is so far fetched as to weaken the credibility of the rest of your argument. I wonder what happens to the firstborn of people who don't have houses? | ||

It wasn't like one house for each person, the Israelites shared their homes if needed I presume. They were sharing lambs if a small house could not afford a whole lamb. | ||
