Reading over, and over, and over
370 words by Naomi Galatas
After reading the comments that I have recieved for my blog on the Project that I plan on doing. I got alot of help from the comments. I bascially got really good overviews, saying that it is a good idea making faith a ttrue issue. But the main question that I recieved from some people was, how am I going to engage the matter. How am I going to go up to every person and tell them to believe in themsselves. Some peopple suggested that I have a seminar, or tell everyone I meet. well I decied to do both. As weird as it sounds, Im going to go into the buisness field. Thats right, im going to start making commercials reaching out to the people that have no faith. Then Im going to make books, get a phone line going on and then, travel around the world speaking about faith. Some people might think that is will be impossible to conquer. well think again. I have faith. LOL. Others might be ondering how will the profits be spent through all of this. All the profits that I make from this distripution will go straight to all charites. None will be giving to me. Thats, right. Im going to make a difference without money. Thats one of my dreams as a young girl, to make lots of money, ad really, I mean really, support the misfortunate. This is something that needs to be done try to make a diference with out someone else getting paid off of it. It matters most when you do it with a kind heart, and deserving people. Life would be more enjoyable with people that care more about other, then people that care about others, because it might concern them. Thats abbrevise, it like using someones feelings, to get what you need. Life shouldn\’t be taking advantage for like that, it should be more revised, and meanigfull. Anyway, by going across the wordl and bascially becomgin a motivatonal speaker, might become a little trend in the world, such as the lifestrong braclets. Who ever cares about themselves would want to take this imformation witha a good heart, and try to comprehend what they need.

Naomi, this is from Dr.Homan about our mystery.
I hope it will be delivered to you.
The Syro Ephraimite was was a coalition of Israel and Aram to
fight off the emerging Assyrian power. They tried to force Judah to
join their coalition against Assyria. Judah\’s king didn\’t know what
to do, so he asked Isaiah. Isaiah said here is God\’s sign about what
to do: A young woman (Hebrew: \’almah) will conceive a boy, name
him Emmanuel (God is with us) and by the time the kid knows good
from evil (let\’s say about two years old), the problem will go away.
So in original context, Isaiah is saying don\’t join the coalition, as
threat will be gone in a couple of years. And that is what happened.
Later, this story is translated into Greek for the LXX. They use the
word parthenos (meaning \”virgin\”) for Hebrew \’almah. Then the
New Testament authors, trying to claim that Isaiah was actually
predicting the birth of Jesus, write that Mary was the parthenos,
and that is how the idea of the virgin birth arose.
A point that I make is that sometimes prophets don\’t realize the
full impact of their words, and that it is possible that Isaiah didn\’t
know his prophecy would one day be about Jesus, but that using
his prophecy later to be about Jesus is fully legitimate.

Man you way better than me. If it was me i would have no problem helping those around the world believe in themselves and have faith. However, I would have to pocket so mony for my self if you know what I\’m saying. Not ina bad way but, I think you plan is really good and sincere we need more people like that in the world andto help others get to that level. We can all help the world be a better place and get paid just as well doing it
