This is going to be extremely helpful to me when I undertake the task of reading the Good Book.

QuoteMATTHEW CH. 8, V. 11-12: And I say to you that many shall come from the East and the West and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

QuoteVer. 11. In consequence of the faith of this Gentile, Jesus Christ takes occasion to declare that many Gentiles would be called to sit at table with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven, which is frequently represented under the figure of a feast. See chap. xxii. 2; Luke xii. 29. and xvi. 16; Apocalypse xix. 9. In ancient times, the guests were reclined on beds when they took their means. (Bible de Vence)

Ver. 12. Whilst the Jews, who glory in descending from the patriarchs, and who, on this title, are children and heirs of the celestial kingdom which had been promised them, shall be excluded for having rendered themselves unworthy by their unbelief. (Bible de Vence) --- Shall be cast out into exterior darkness. This is spoken so as to imply a comparison to a supper in a great room, with a number of lights, when they who are turned out in the night, stand without, starving, weeping, and gnashing their teeth. (Witham)

Nice find Panop. I'm going to take a look.

Also, I'm listening to the National Orthodox show that was linked in your signature.

He's very good. I also listened to another of his shows that you linked to, where he was talking about the cossacks.

It's interesting that these really old fashioned types, I'm thinking of the Orthodox Nationalist & Bishop Williamson, seem to understand the big picture as it applies to 9/11 et al. They are not swayed by the MSM spin, as are many others.

I have a New Catholic Study Bible St. Jerome Edition, which can be found used on Amazon. (My edition has the burgundy hard cover.) Also, there is the Douay-Rheims Bible, which can be found online at:

I think I shard this before: If you read the bible for 15 minutes every night, you can read the whole thing is less than a year.

Berdayev and Dostoevsky; Modernism and Materialism; The critique of the bourgeois [Must Listen]
"[W]ithin himself / The danger lies, yet lies within his power: / Against his will he can receive no harm. / But God left free the will, for what obeys / Reason, is free, and reason he made right, / But bid her well beware, and still erect, / Least by some fair appearing good surprised / She dictate false, and misinform the will / To do what God expressly hath forbid." - PL Book IX, ln. 349-356.
