     | 1,450 views

    Shalom is not an indiscriminate gift of Yahweh. It is conditional.

    In computer programing languages there is a standard code that states: If–then (–else) which means: “IF” YOU DO THIS “THEN” THIS WILL FOLLOW OR ELSE THIS HAPPENS.

    The other, more important meaning, is that there will be a coming reversal of circumstances for those who are unfortunate, the marginalized, the abused, those who live in poverty, so these beatitudes are not just virtues to attain in this life.

    Dear Abby, the popular advice column in the newspaper still published today with authorship changes, once received a letter that describes the "if only" attitude: "It was Spring, But it was Fall I wanted, the colorful leaves and the cool dry air. It was Fall, but it was Winter I ...read more
