Judah's number is 186,400. 186,400 m/s is the speed of light.

In the interest of scientific accuracy, the speed of light is

299 792 458 m / s

the units m/s mean metres per second. However, this value converts to 186282.397 miles per second.

If abbreviated, miles per second could be written as mi/s, but never m/s.

Hello, Mark. Thank you for the clarification. I'm sure someone has or would have been confused by what I meant. I am aware of the difference. It was a typo/oversite. You may see more in the future. Big hands and a laptop are not a match made in heaven..lol..I'll forgive your typo if you forgive mine? Meters per second, not "metres" per second. j/k.. On a different note, your signature looks familiar. Were you ever on CARM?

A jew can be seen as one who projects things outwardly in rituals and traditions, that is one who takes what is spiritual and subjects it to the flesh, thus gaining no benefit of its transforming element by not applying it to themselves. It is one who does not apply the Key to Knowledge, but rather one who succumbs to the letter that killeth (a jew seeks to fulfill the law literally but one who is of the house of Israel fulfills the Spiritual Law which is living within themselves). While you quoted Paul, you did not quote the whole verse,

“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is
one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God” (Rom 2:28-29 KJV).

A Jew inward would be referring to "Spiritual Israel," those of the house of israel. One of a phariasic mindset could be likened to a "Jew." In Gospel of John the word "Jew" is used in regards Pharisees, those who are outward in rituals and traditions, thus not applying things within themselves. A Jew, from this perspective, would be any literalist of any system in regards scripture and their application and how they perceive the world (they are God-Central outwardly), it is a mindset. Those who believe they are changed according to externalizing scripture, or merely just being hypnotized by the surface, the garment but never seeing passed it to what it conceals. And since they don't, they can't bring about effective change, they can't even come near to entering the kingdom. In the Gospel the only people that can be saved are those of the House of Israel, the pharisaic can't, but we see that a Gentile has a chance. This right here shows the reality of the threefold self, hylic (jew), psychic (gentile), and pneumatic (House of Israel).

For instance, it can be said that Paul only taught the common believer "Jesus Christ and him crucified," saying at times they were babies to carnal or of a natural mind to comprehend the spiritual things, so he taught only with milk and not with meat (also not to forget his mention of those whom are Psychic, in regards the "Greeks" who seek wisdom mainly of the Empirical nature and the "jews" need physical signs). That right there holds the different classes of seeker; from Hylic, to Psychic, and to Pneumatic. This is spoken of in the 1 chapter of Corinthians and it is analogous. In regards "Judah" which refers to jew, we see "Judas" which must die first before "Yeshua" can be crucified. This death of "Judas" is a growth in consciousness, it is to ascend to a higher state. It is also Judah who comes up with the idea to sell Joseph into bondage (which lead to egypt -- physical boundage). Not disagreeing but presenting another perspective.

"Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. Jews demand miraculous signs (physical displays) and Greeks look for wisdom (of this world),
but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and
foolishness to Gentiles, but to those whom God has called, both Jews
and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. For the
foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God
is stronger than man's strength." (Corinthians 1:20-25)

Just a minor point of information ~ "metres" is the Euro/British/Metric spelling; as is centre, and some other examples (orig. from France).

It's an interesting coincidence though. Having said that, when that passage was written, neither
- the metric meter/metre,
- the imperial mile (1609.344 m),
- the roman mile (~1460m), or even
- the second
were defined. Perhaps it is a sign that the US units are the ones used in Heaven .

I used to be a Bible-Code believer and I thought that there were many important things to be discovered in numerological study. And indeed perhaps there are (numerology that is, not the Bible-code which is utter trash). But I have since realised that the scriptures have much to say very plainly, as clearly as is possible to write. These are the things that haunt me. Yet the things that are said openly seem "hidden" to a lot of people because they don't do them or argue their opposite, or spend a lot of effort in justifying why what is said is not what is meant.

I have read some articles on CARM. I think I sent in an email once but that would have been years ago. I haven't participated on their forum nor followed discussion on it.

A good and devout man arranges in his mind the things he has to do, not
according to the whims of evil inclination but according to the dictates of right reason.
Who is forced to struggle more than he who tries to master himself? This ought to be
our purpose, then: to conquer self, to become stronger each day, to advance in virtue.

Every perfection in this life has some imperfection mixed with it and no learning
of ours is without some darkness. Humble knowledge of self is a surer path to God than
the ardent pursuit of learning. Not that learning is to be considered evil, or knowledge,
which is good in itself and so ordained by God; but a clean conscience and virtuous life
ought always to be preferred. Many often err and accomplish little or nothing because
they try to become learned rather than to live well.

If men used as much care in uprooting vices and implanting virtues as they do in
discussing problems, there would not be so much evil and scandal in the world, or such
laxity in religious organizations. On the day of judgment, surely, we shall not be asked
what we have read but what we have done; not how well we have spoken but how well
we have lived.

This is a beautiful quote! I have never before read anything by Thomas á Kempis, and know nothing about him other than hearing of his name. Was he an English Catholic monk? I must go and 'google' his name.

Hey, US. Thank you for replying. I apologize for the mistaking identity. I know what you mean by the bible code and numerology. Truly, there is more time spent on arguing over scripture than understanding it and even less time spent living it.

"One who recites many teachings, but being negligent doesn't act acordingingly, like a cowherd counting other's cows, does not attain the benefits of the contemplative life.


One who recites but a few teachings, yet lives according to the Dharma, abandoning passion, ill-will and illusion, aware and with mind well freed, not clinging in this life or next, attains the benefits of the contemplative life."
