The LABYRINTH at
Lipscomb if a SPIRAL, HELIX
F. Earle Fox: But no one
escapes the cosmic
labyrinth. The ultimate labyrinth is the cosmos
itself, the closed system, no appeal beyond its borders --
nothing, nothing at all beyond the limits of its
walls. And deadly enemies lurk within from which
there is no escape -- Uroboros, the Minotaur,
etc., aka Satan. Everyone dies.
In modern usage, walking the
labyrinth is an attempt on the part of those who live
trapped in that cosmos to come to terms with that which
will one day devour them. It is the perennial
task of labyrinthine inhabitants to learn to flow with the
cosmic forces. That is the universal task of pagan
religion because that is the best way of surviving
-- at least for a while. But in the end, it almost
always comes to the same thing. A shadowy life in
the underworld -- hades, sheol, hell.

Sun Goddesses were frequently psychopompes, and
the LABYRINTH was itself connected to the Sun.
It's entrance was carefully faced East to catch the first
sunlight of the day. Patricia Monaghan's research has also
shown that the LABYRINTH accurately charts the
Sun's path in the sky in the far North. Travelling
the LABYRINTH made rebirth possible,
whether if be by the Goddess leading the dead from its
centre beneath the ground, or the priestess Ariadne
guiding initiates through it for a spiritual rebirth.
Winding up the thread originally recreated the globe of
the Sun, rebirthing the Sun Goddess herself. The
ubiquitous pools near LABYRINTH or Cretan Goddess
temples were probably meant to act as mirrors. The Sun's
reflection was used for divination, rather than the
endless circling of the fish.

Contemplative spirituality has taken the church by storm. This issue is no
longer relegated to the fringe elements of Christianity. No denomination
is immune to its effects, despite the fact that it is the legacy of Roman

Carol Wimber: Physical and emotional expression in worship can result in
dance and body
movement.
This is an
appropriate response to God if the church is on that crest.
It is inappropriate if it is whipped up or if the focal point is on the dance
rather than on true
jubilation in the Lord.
Expression then moves to a zenith,
a climatic point, not unlike physical
lovemaking (doesn't Solomon
use the same analogy in the Song of Songs?). We have expressed what is in our
hearts and minds and bodies,
and now it is time
to wait for God to respond. Stop talking and wait
for him to speak, to move. I call this, the fourth phase, visitation: The
almighty God visits his people.

Sara.Barton.The.Song.of.Solomon.html
Sacred prostitution was
common in the Ancient Near East[1]
as a form of "Sacred Marriage" or hieros gamos between
the king of a Sumerian city-state and the High
Priestess of Inanna, the Sumerian
goddess of love, fertility and warfare. Along
the Tigris and Euphrates rivers there were
many shrines and temples dedicated to Inanna. The
temple of Eanna, meaning "house of heaven"[2]
in Uruk[3]
was the greatest of these. The temple housed Nadītu, priestesses of the
goddess. The high priestess would choose for her bed a
young man who represented the shepherd Dumuzid,
consort of Inanna, in a hieros gamos celebrated during
the annual Duku ceremony, just before Invisible Moon,
with the autumn
Equinox[4]
(Autumnal Zag-mu Festival).
The
Song of Solomon is the Pattern of the
Courtship of Inanna and Demuzi.
The hieros gamos
as a royal ritual is the creation of early city-states
built on the wealth provided by agriculture [tithes].
Far from putting an end to the “primitive” village
cults, they expanded and stylized them with forms that
were derived from, and were variations of, earlier
symbolism. One of these is the sexual union of the king
and a priestess as an episode in the lengthy Babylonian
Akitu (New Year) festival. The model for this rite is
already given in Sumerian myths and temple customs...An
early prototype of the ritual is the Sumerian story of
the goddess Inanna and her relation to Dumuzi,
the shepherd boy with whom the supreme, all – powerful
goddess fell in love

the idea of authority resting in the

From Denominational Imagination!
"This conference proposes that WE allow
the worlds imagined
in the essential
biblical narratives
to dramatically shape
our preaching and lives.
We believe
that preaching REconstitutes
biblical paradigms when it engages Scripture’s
vision
- by REpresenting
what is absent
- and making present what is inaccessible
- to the end that followers of God will live
into a God-shaped reality.
ONLY THEOLOGIANS
(STUDY OF APOLLYON) RULE THE COMMUNE.
Rubel Shelly and John York: Prior to the invention
of the printing press, access to the content of
Scripture was oral.
For thousands of years it could
only be heard and interpreted in the context of
community.
Yes,
INDIVIDUALS could comment on Scripture, but those comments were
always for the LARGER
hearing of the community. Only after
there was INDIVIDUAL access did there become
an opportunity for an individual, isolated reading
and interpretation that
had no need or use for community.
Just as identity in Christ is always COMMUNITY identity, our reading of Scripture becomes a
COMMUNITY READING as well.
While we still have access to reading as individuals,
we stop asking, "What does this mean to me?"--as
though there is such an isolated meaning. Instead we
have a GROUP MENTALITY
that asks, "What does
this mean to US?
More importantly, we lay aside INDIVIDUAL interpretations precisely
because they are inevitably argumentative and
divisive.
We GIVE UP the
right of individual interpretation and take on the accountability of SHARED
READING.
This is not a
pooling of collective ignorance. The Bible is full
of stories from ancient and often quite alien cultural settings and belief
systems, and we
cannot ignore those differences.
So we
listen to the voices of scholarship just as we listen to the child
who intuitively hears what God is saying in a particular
story.
Adolph Hitler wrote:
And he obtains an
impression of this body for the first time in the mass demonstration. When from his little
workshop or big factory, in which he feels very small,
he steps for the first time into a
mass meeting and has thousands and thousands of
people of the same opinions around him, when,
as a seeker, (Als Suchender.' A Wagnerian phrase, which Hitler was
apparently determined to use at all costs) he is swept away by three or four
thousand others into the mighty effect of suggestive
intoxication and enthusiasm,
when the visible
success and agreement of thousands confirm to him the
rightness of the new doctrine and for the first time
arouse doubt in the truth of his previous conviction -
then he himself has
succumbed to the magic influence of what we designate
as 'mass suggestion.' The will, the longing, and also
the power of thousands are accumulated in every
individual. The man who enters such a meeting
doubting and wavering leaves it inwardly reinforced:
he has become a link in the community.
The National Socialist
movement must never forget this and in particular
it must never let itself be influenced
by those bourgeois simpletons who know everything
better,
but who nevertheless have gambled away a great state
including their own existence and the rule of their
class.

When not otherwise

and have
the liberty of taking away, without payment, whatever
article they like which is exposed for sale; when any one accosts
them, he pours over them oil of jessamine,
in such profusion that it runs down from their eyes. Of honey and sesamum, which is exposed
for sale in large
quantity, they take
enough to make cakes,
and are fed without expense
Rubel Shelly and
John York: [p.
114] Our
proposal to focus on Jesus means that Scripture is NO LONGER a set of proof-texts or
a collection of facts or God's rulebook for human behavior. Scripture is the
unfolding story of God acting both to create and to
re-create. It is not an easy book to understand.
It was NEVER intended as a document
to [p. 115] be INDIVIDUALLY read
and interpreted--a sort~of correspondence course in
salvation.
Carrol D. Osburn ACU: Note how Bro. O. views

yet it serves as Scripture today because people find
themselves accountable to it.
That is what make its Scripture"

Why don't we at least entertain the
possibility that the Bible simply reflects an ANCIENT TABOO or homophobic prejudice in a few people like Paul -- a taboo and
prejudice we need to outgrow?
John: Remember, our fundamental conviction is that the Bible is the story of God,
a dramatic NARRATIVE that announces and reveals and invites us
into participation and relationship with
God and one another.
Every scene in that story has been set
in some historical
human
context.
Those cultural settings always have been CHANGING and changeable.
John: In the first century, the COMMUNITY
of faith -- the body of Christ -- was, to use Paul's
phrase to the Philippians,
"working out their
salvation" as God himself was working

Rubel Shelly: They had to strain the story of Jesus through philosophical sieves. They had to create
and clarify special
terms. They made entrance into their circles a matter of "enlightenment" as reflected in peculiar vocabulary and
interpretations.
In the
meanwhile, the core gospel has survived two millennia now in its narrative form of telling the big story through collections of little
ones about Jesus.
Notice
that:
The little stories
were strained through the Shelly Sifter of
philosophy and the Bible writer's personal agenda:
these are not TRUTH as the Gospel is TRUTH.
The Big Story or the
CORE GOSPEL has survived through these little stories.
Our
conclusion: The CORE
is no more reliable than the sum of its parts: why
should we trust Rubel Shelly's CORE GOSPEL as the
TRUTH?
Dr. Shelly defines the
narrative form as writers taking the literature and constructing a
narrative for their own time, place, theological
agenda and by sifting in Greek philosophy.
Rubel Shelly and
John York:
John: In the
first
century,
the community of faith -- the body of Christ -- was,
to use Paul's phrase to the Philippians, "working out their
salvation" as God himself was working and willing his good pleasure
through them (Phil. 2:12-13).
Phil. 2:13 For it is GOD which
worketh in you
both to will and to do of HIS
good pleasure
NOT OURS: not received in
self-will
Phil. 2:14 Do all things
without murmurings and disputings:
Phil. 2:15 That ye may be
blameless and harmless,
the sons of God, without
rebuke,
in the midst of a crooked
and perverse nation,
among whom ye shine as lights IN THE WORLD
Isa. 8:19 And when they
shall say unto you,
Seek unto them that have familiar
spirits,
and unto wizards
that peep, and that mutter:
should not a
people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead?

The conclusion
which you DEPRIVED YOUR BUDGET to receive directly
from humans helping divinity to reveal:
Therefore, because
the WORD was based on the
Culture.
Cultures are still changing.
You must allow US to help God define the NEW TRUTH. That is confessed by
the words postmodern or narrative theology.
Doesn't that give
meaning to the fact that rhetoricians, sOPHISts,
singers and musicians were SORCERERS of the SECT of
the Hypocrites and therefore PARASITES?

Story or narrative is currently
a much-discussed topic in the field of biblical
interpretation.
Because little of the biblical text
is apodictic,
it is not given
to a rule-oriented reading or hermeneutic.
Apodictic
law encompasses absolute general command
Casuistic law (or case law) is based on
precedents and is usually in the form of “if/then” conditional
statements.
Mal. 2:2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay
it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of
hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse
your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because
ye do not lay it to heart.
Matt. 24:23 Then if any man shall
say unto you,
Lo, here is
Christ, or there; believe it not.
Matt. 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and
false prophets,
and shall shew
great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if
it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Matt. 24:25 Behold, I have told you before.
Matt. 24:26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you,
Behold, he is in
the desert; go not forth:
behold, he is in
the secret chambers; believe it not.
Luke 17:21 Neither
shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of God is within you.
The Bible is an extended narrative, a
compelling and surprisingly cohesive one,
from creation to
new creation. It begins in a perfect garden and ends
with the new heaven and new earth.
The Bible is 66
