"Re: Temple fund & curious
questions"
TEMPLE FUND--If
you are interested in donations to groups interested in Temple--Temple
Mount Faithful is a good one. I prefer giving to people rather than
buildings. There are many needy in Israel, victims of bombings, etc.
Re: SACRIFICES--not
all sacrifices were for sin--there will be sacrifices for all the reasons
there were before; only the Yom Kippur and Pesach were completely fulfilled.
Read Leviticus for clarification.
1)I agree with the
robes being like Jesus' and made of light. This may explain Satan
appearing as an angel of light.?
2)As to bathing costumes
at time of Jesus--working people(fisherman etc.) usually had a short tunic
under their robe. Remember when Peter was fishing and caught nothing
and Jesus called him? He put on his cloak and swam the short distance
to shore. Probably didn't think it was respectful to come in to Jesus
with just his skivvies on(;-D)!!
3)Underwear is a relatively
new invention(elastic, you see). But people wore more modest type
clothing then, anyway. The priests who wore linen breeches had to
climb up to place the blood on the altar, and you know what happens to
a skirt on a ladder(YIKES!)
AS A Teacher of my
children and others, I like to remind them that there are not many really
stupid questions. That is how we learn.
