When I started this blog, one of my biggest concerns was that the original main commandments website would become invisible behind the blog.  I initially worked around this by adding a page to aid in navigating to the original site.  Today I implemented a better and more permanent solution– hyperlinks attached to the blog header.  […]

I searched the internet for links to this website because I wanted to see what people said about the work I have done here, and see if there was any indication that the pages here carry value for people. Unsurprisingly, the sexual laws of the Bible were among the top two pages viewed by […]

I just discovered that by changing the word “content” to “excerpt” within the bowels of the index.php file in Wordpress, I could make it so that the archive pages show summaries of the current articles, instead of showing the entire articles.  Then you can click on the titles to go to the individual article pages.  […]

    At its best, a tribe is a small nation. It maintains itself in all the mundane aspects of life, takes care of its own welfare issues, polices and defends itself, and generally manages and governs itself. There are certain necessary functions that will enable the tribe to accomplish these goals.

It is impossible to understand the tribes of the Bible without having a basic understanding of the genealogical structure of the families in the Bible. When I first put up the website, I created a jpeg file of the genealogy from Adam to the sons of Jacob. That was a good start.
I have […]

The story of three major world religions– Judaism, Christianity, and Islam– begins with the Bible. The Old Testament introduces the Judaic tribes. Christianity depends on the essential four gospels of the New Testament. The Islamic tribes start their lineage with the patriarch Ishmael, the first son of Abraham.
Jews and Muslims recognize and […]

I replaced the Microsoft Word document of the law (235 pages) with a new pdf file for compatibility purposes. It is available for download on this page.
I also re-edited, re-formatted, and replaced the files for the Scottish Psalter download. It was originally a Word document and an html page. Now it is […]

In yet another show of ambition, I have updated the “About” page for this blog to clarify the background and intentions for the whole website.

I just wrote an outline for a series of articles I am planning regarding biblical tribalism as evidenced in the Old Testament. Why is this important? Because much of biblical law is meaningless on an individual level. It must be practiced by a collective. Furthermore, YHWH’s covenants were always with tribes. […]

I upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1 and my permalinks stopped working. After undoing and redoing the upgrade and messing with the .php code a little, I did a google search and discovered that Yahoo’s “Permalinks” plugin doesn’t work with Wordpress 2.3.1, however, someone at WordPress wrote a one-line plugin that works around the problem in […]

Hello Everyone!
I am experimenting with turning the Commandments website into a blog. The original site can still be seen here.
My intention is to write 2-3 articles per week offering suggestions for how to apply the ancient laws today. Please leave feedback so I will know if there is an interest in this type […]
