The Spirit Contra the Letter: Of Stone and Flesh

  Romans 7 - Law of Sin and Death vs Law of Faith In the last post we covered the difference between the shadow and the substance. The juxtaposition between the old and new covenants, which the author of Hebrews goes through great lengths to outline. Implicit in the arguments of the texts, is the supposition that there are distinct differences.  But before I continue to address the next set of questions generated by the Hebrew Roots Bible machine, it’s important to establish that, so far, what can be distinctly concluded, is that there is, in fact, a difference. A difference in views, a difference in covenants, and a difference in forms, between these covenants and their practices. The bulk of these differences being carefully outlined from chapters 8-10. The terminology used being that of the difference between the substance of a body, and the shadow.  The contrast being so vivid, that the old is stated to be “obsolete and disappearing”. What is passing away? The covenant itself. The

The Substance vs The Shadow: Covenants Old and New

Image
Hebrews is making a comparison from chapters 7-11 that the difference between shadows and the substance. The law of Moses is not the substance of the Law. It is the Shadow.   Recently, I’ve been really taking on this issue of Hebrew Roots when it comes to the Christian faith and its relationship to the origins of the biblical tradition. It seems the whole world is coming to a head with its relationship with God, with who is or is not “Gods chosen people”, with statehood, history and culture. I think no issue more outlines the real heart of the problem than the difference in the threads of thought that separated the Jewish people from the Christians starting with the earliest records surrounding the ideas and problems facing those communities back then and there in ancient first century Judea. While there’s a whole library of information we could cover on this, I can address at a later time, at this moment, I’m really only writing to answer two questions a Hebrew Roots rabbi friend

The Perfect Audio Interface Under $300: Creative E-MU 1616m - Windows 10 Setup

 As indie artists further dig in to their respective trenches across the new home recording landscape, this work horse has proven to stand the test of time: The E-MU 1616m from Creative has lasted 10 years, and three Windows Operating Systems. As long as you've got a PCI-e x1 slot open on your motherboard, you're going to benefit from the 192 khz speed with the same conversion technology as the Pro Tools HD Core A/D. Are you an independent artist that doesn't want to shell out the big bucks for studio time? You think you could manage putting together your own tracks in a DAW of your choosing? Maybe the 1616m is the right option for you. This device features 6 full analog inputs, including to XLR/Line input channels on the front, with four other rear 1/4" TRS balanced inputs. 6 TRS balanced outputs, as well as expandable ADAT lightpipe input and outputs that clock at 192 khz as well.

Why Fujifilm X-T3, ART DMPA II, and Other Projections

  Seasons greetings,   I've come on to an opportunity where I'm able to invest in some new equipment for the studio, and that has me shopping for cameras. That has led me to choosing between three options, namely:  The Canon EOS -R, the Sony A 7III and the Fujifilm X-T3  Each of these are 60fps, and 4k. Although, Canon and Sony have the only 4k that is NOT cropped, I'm choosing the Fujifilm for more nuanced reasons that rely more on the color science.  In addition, I'm polishing of the final touches on my E-MU Creative 1616m recording interface with the ART DMPA II to bring in the last two channels to capitalize on the maximum 19khz speed capacity in my Pro Tools 2018 DAW rig.  So we're talking tech, we're talking ideas, quality, and future plans from the Hearando Studios with Good God Father.  Watch it all here:  https://rumble.com/vbnv87-why-fujifilm-x-t3-art-dmpa-ii-and-other-projections.html    [[REFERAL LINKS]]  Minds Rumble   [[SUPPORT DIRECT]]  Bandcamp

Our Cosmic Estuaries, Fresh New Video, PLUS RonUSMC RAIDED ME!

Holiday greetings to you, As we've already buried ourselves in several hundreds of bags of popcorn, watching the events unfolding around us, and spanning the globe, I, Xwan, have taken a moment to outline some ideas, as we process next moves. Being driven further in doors, and in assessing the nature of things, there's become greater opportunity to generate video content from here at my home studio. So far, I've managed to conquer half the globe in the game Civilization VI , as well as beginning to attempt some ASMR, in saying some prayers and reading some scripture . Aside from that, there was a great session playing EVE Online, where Twitch viewers donated $70 million ISK in one night! I STILL have that ISK in my wallet. So I've been working through learning the game, and incorporating it in to my content generation. Have to give mad props, and thanks to RonUSMC for raiding my All this has been happening along side of coming music that I'm currently engineerin

Social Media Migration, plus FREE SAMPLES of Suthe

  Good day, This week, we continue our campaign push to migrate our content from major corporate conglomerates, (All the usual suspects... you know who they are), and build a stronger base on alternative platforms. To do that, we're posting old videos on  Rumble , one at a time, and today, it's one of our earliest lyric videos of the song,  Dedication . This is a song that's been on the rosters for a very long time, being written around the 2005-2006 era, and recorded in the summer of 2006-2007 era. It was released with the rest of the tracks that make up what was the album,  Do Not Resuscitate , which was part of an early effort by Xwan and a band of friends to startup a record company called Berean Records, that never quite got off the ground.  Be sure to use our link to sign up for  Rumble : https://rumble.com/register/ Goodgodfather/ And while you're at it, sign up for your  Minds  account too: https://www.minds.com/ register?referrer= GoodGodFather For livestrea
