    @Pat Haskett.

    Catchy comment. It is interesting to see how the translation of agape has changed from the middle ages to now. From charity, it has become love. A good example of this is 1 Corinthian 13:8. Same phenomenon in French (charité to amour), and in Spanish (caridad to amor), and in other languages too I'm sure.

    I don't know the reason of this. But one thing is sure, charity is not love. And love is not charity. So true agape must be something between the two I guess.

    Solar deity Solar deities throughout cultures

    The winged sun was an ancient (3rd millennium BC) symbol of Horus, later identified with RaIn different religions solarised supreme deities carry different names and are associated with different aspects of the cultural universe of the society, but for the most part its raw image remains identical.

    The Neolithic concept of a solar barge, the sun as traversing the sky in a boat, is found in the later myths of ancient Egypt, with Ra and Horus. Earlier Egyptian myths imply that the sun is within the lioness, Sekhmet, at night and can be seen reflected in her eyes or that it is within the cow, Hathor during the night, being reborn each morning as her son (bull). Proto-Indo-European religion has a solar chariot, the sun as traversing the sky in a chariot.

    For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.

    Geography and geologyXinjiang is the largest political subdivision of China—it accounts for more than one sixth of China's total territory and a quarter of its boundary length. It is split by the Tian Shan mountain range (Uyghur: تەڭرى تاغ‎, Tengri Tagh), which divides it into two large basins: the Dzungarian Basin in the north, and the Tarim Basin in the south. Much of the Tarim Basin is dominated by the Taklimakan Desert. The lowest point in Xinjiang, and in the entire PRC, is the Turpan Depression, 155 metres below sea level; its highest point is the mountain K2, 8611 metres above sea level, on the border with Pakistan. Other mountain ranges include the Pamir Mountains in the southeast, the Karakoram in the south, and the Altai Mountains in the north.

    Most of Xinjiang is young geologically, having been formed from the collision of the Indian plate with the Eurasian plate, forming the Tian Shan, Kunlun Shan, and Pamir mountain ranges. Consequently, Xinjiang is a major earthquake zone. Older geological formations occur principally in the far north where the Junggar Block is geologically part of Kazakhstan, and in the east which is part of the North China Craton.

    Xinjiang has within its borders the point of land remotest from the sea, the so-called Eurasian pole of inaccessibility (Lat. 46 degrees 16.8 minutes N, Long. 86 degrees 40.2 minutes E) in the Dzoosotoyn Elisen Desert, 1,645 miles (2648 km) from the nearest coastline (straight-line distance).

    The Tian Shan mountain range marks the Xinjiang-Kyrgyzstan border at the Torugart Pass (3752 m). The Karakorum highway (KKH) links Islamabad, Pakistan with Kashgar over the Khunjerab Pass.

    On Monday, in La Maestranza when I was behind the barrier before the fight started, my heart was pounding so much my chest hurt. I had to put my hand on it to hold it down because it felt like it was about to burst, and we hadn't even started. That's the pressure and that's what you have to put behind you to be able to look at the bull and think "What can I do with this animal?" In tenths of a second you have to see how it moves and how to approach it, and sometimes you reach a high, which is when you think to yourself "My body doesn't exist. I'm fighting with my soul. My soul is flowing out through my fingertips". That's when it's magical.

    But some of us awake in the night with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes that ride caparisoned white horses along the edges of thick forests; and then we know that we have looked back through the ivory gates into that world of wonder which was ours before we were wise and unhappy.

    Occultatio, although sometimes used as a synonym for paralipsis, is more often a literary figure most often seen in plays, where a character describes a scene or object by not describing it. For example, in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, act 4, scene 1, the character Grumio describes the eventful coming of his master and new wife to a young servant by saying,syllogism is blind FaItHgood night my blight and sore sites
    A famous Christological argument, commonly referred to as the Trilemma or Lewis Triumvirate, is an example of expeditio. Premised on Jesus Christ's claim to being the God, it posits that he is thus either a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord (that is, who he claims to be). The argument then attempts to systematically eliminate all the options except for Lord.
    Native Tribes of Britain[b]Apophasis
    Apophasis was originally and more broadly a method of logical reasoning or argument by denial [/b]- a way of telling what something is by telling what it is not, or a process-of-elimination way of talking about something by talking about what it is not.

    A useful inductive technique when given a limited universe of possibilities, the exclusion of all but the one remaining is affirmation through negation. The familiar guessing-game of Twenty Questions is an example of apophatic inquiry.

    This sense has generally fallen into disuse and is frequently overlooked, although it is still current in certain contexts, such as mysticism and negative theology. An apophatic theology sees God as ineffable and attempts to describe God in terms of what God is not. Apophatic statements refer to transcendence in this context, as opposed to cataphasis referring to immanence

    TinyPic banned me suddenly, and wouldn't indicate why. It must have been horrible what I did, but I haven't the slightest idea what. Shades of Kafka. That's the reason why the Tiny Pic notices occur in the spots where my pics once were.
