				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.toonaripost.com">The Toonari Post - News, Powered by the People!</a></p><p>MIAMI BEACH,U.S.A. &#8211; In his latest book, Jesus on Homosexuality (<a href="http://www.jesusonhomosexuality.com/" target="_blank">http://www.jesusonhomosexuality.com</a>), author and researcher Michael Wood claims that for 1,900 years, Christian scholars missed an essential fact about Jesus&#8217; teachings. He states that Jesus repeatedly taught about a well-established group of commandments called Justices, a group of commandments that established what was required for eternal life and what would matter on Judgment Day but, tellingly, did not include the prohibition on homosexuality.</p>
<p>If Wood is correct, Jesus&#8217; entire salvation message was based upon this well-defined group of commands that didn&#8217;t include the prohibition on homosexuality. In other words, Jesus specifically taught that homosexuality was irrelevant to salvation and judgment.</p>
<p>&#8220;Christianity originally began as a sect within Judaism, at a time when their law was divided into Justices and Jobs,&#8221; explained Wood. &#8220;The second-century writings of Justin Martyr show that when the Gentiles dominated the Faith in the second century, they brought with them the false assumption that the law was divided into morality and ritual. And the rest, as they say, is history.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Justices covered philanthropy and ethics while the Jobs addressed ritual observances and sexual taboos. The division was based on the precept, &#8220;Love your neighbor as yourself.&#8221; For example, the command not to rape was a Justice and the prohibition on homosexuality was a Job.</p>
<p>Wood pointed out that Jesus, Paul and James all used the precept, &#8220;Love your neighbor as yourself.&#8221; &#8220;Now we know that they used this precept to reference a well-established group of commandments &#8212; the Justices,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Each, in his own particular way, used the precept to explain that the Justices alone are the Christian law.&#8221;</p>
<p>Wood previously uncovered and wrote about new findings regarding the Bible&#8217;s book of Romans and the Dead Sea Scrolls. &#8220;Jesus on Homosexuality&#8221; (Tubi Publishing, LLC, April 2012) is the result of 10 years of research, and Wood includes numerous footnotes citing historical writings and other scholarly material to document the 1,900-year-old error.</p>
<p>One of the Biblical examples that Wood uses to support his claim that Jesus repeatedly presented the Justices as the entirety of the Law is Jesus&#8217; response to the rich young ruler in Matthew 19:16-19. &#8220;In Jesus&#8217; response he cited only ethical commandments and then quoted, &#8216;Love your neighbor as yourself&#8217;&#8211; the precept designating the Justices,&#8221; Wood said.</p>
<p>&#8220;In other words, Jesus stated that only the Justices matter. Every Job &#8212; every religious requirement &#8212; was excluded. That deliberate exclusion was a clear statement of Jesus&#8217; position on ritual (such as the prohibition on eating shellfish and wearing garments made of two cloths) and sexual taboos (such as the prohibition on homosexuality and having sex with your wife during her menstrual cycle). The discovery of the Justices and Jobs finally reveals Jesus&#8217; original message.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 56-page ebook can be downloaded free of charge at <a href="http://www.jesusonhomosexuality.com/" target="_blank">http://www.JesusOnHomosexuality.com</a>. Wood encourages readers to copy and distribute the book, provided it is copied in full without any editing or modification. &#8220;I wrote the book to kick-start a much-needed conversation. It&#8217;s time for the conversation to begin,&#8221; Wood said.</p>
<p>About the Author</p>
<p>Michael Wood designed REDOC-II &#8211; one of the only unbreakable codes in existence today. Wood then turned his cryptanalytic attention to finding a way to solving the problem of managing the physical infrastructure of the Internet. He designed an artificial intelligent system which instructed a computer how to decode the information flowing through its network wires. The computer then used artificial intelligence to assemble the deciphered information into a real-time map of the worldwide physical infrastructure.</p>
<p>Wood also applied his cryptanalytic skills to monitor the real-time level of human parasympathetic activity by decoding subtle changes in heart rate measurements.</p>
<p>Wood then turned his cryptanalytic skills to finding patterns in first-century Jewish language, culture, and law. After ten years of dedicated effort, this eventually led to the discovery of the Justices and Jobs in the writings of the Apostle Paul.</p>

<p>After the false prediction that the world would end last month by Harold Camping, who runs the Christian network, Family Radio, many may have their doubts about the world ending anytime soon. Camping has a different opinion.</p>
<p>In fact he’s going for strike three; Mr. Camping has made another prediction, Oct. 21, will be the day of destruction; the last day mankind will ever walk this earth. Camping finds several verses from the Bible to support his predictions and reasoning.</p>
<p>The book of Revelation 9: verse 5, “and to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.”</p>
<p>He justifies his false prediction by saying it was “an invisible judgment day,” he claims it was a spiritual experience, on a special broadcast on his radio series, ‘Open Forum.’</p>
<p>“It won’t be spiritual on Oct 21,” Camping said. “The world is going to be destroyed all together, but it will be very quick,”</p>
<p>This was not the first time that Camping mis-calculated the worlds destruction.</p>
<p>Back in 1994 he predicted the world would end on Sept. 6 of that year. According to his show Camping gets his prediction from hidden prophecies in the Bible that he interprets, using a mathematical system he created.</p>
<p>To add to the false alarm, and the anger many people have because they gave up everything. Camping has no intention of giving any money back to those who contributed to his bogus Doomsday movement.</p>
<p>Russia, Turkey, the Philippines, and Taiwan are among the countries; that have the 66 stations Family Radio in the world. Camping raised over $80 million from donations over the past five years, and according to an IRS filing, the non-profit radio station is worth $72 million. Camping might not be that crazy old guy that some may have deemed him to be.</p>
<p>According to Camping’s theory, during the five months after the Rapture (May 21.)  The people who didn’t ascend to heaven will go through a series of natural disasters. Does that sound familiar? No, well tell that to the families whose homes and lives have been destroyed by recent tornadoes, flooding, earthquakes and wildfires. Based on a report uploaded in early June by the National Weather Service, there have been 1,475 tornadoes  this year.</p>
<p>The day after the false prediction Sunday, May 22, one of the single deadliest tornados in modern history, hit the city of Joplin, Mo. ,it left an estimated 151 people dead, NWS reported.</p>
<p>There are western wildfires, flooding, and severe weather reports from all over the world.</p>
<p>Harold Camping may have his dates mixed up, but he might be on to something. However it should be kept under consideration that the Bible also says in the book of Matthew 24: verses 36-37: “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.”</p>
