Maybe you should try to take a family pic where you have your family lined up around the camera. The Panorama looks awesome!

]]> Comment on The Kings of Israel and Judah by Enoch Moses http://www.flester.com/blog/2008/03/14/the-kings-of-israel-and-judah#comment-3631 Enoch Moses Wed, 09 Apr 2008 00:53:52 +0000 http://www.flester.com/blog/2008/03/14/the-kings-of-israel-and-judah#comment-3631 I read your comment today and I have been pondering the question for a few hours. Here are some of thoughts: Christ's spiritual life is like the concept of a limit in calculus. We strive to be like Christ spiritually. The more we strive to become like Christ and become more like Christ, we then realize the we cannot fully be like Christ since he is perfect. The units for the y-axis should be "walking closer to God" unit. At the origin, we completely disobeying God. This also made me think of something else. There is also context involved in the diagram. The contexts are: before the law, law and Christ. If there a pious Jew living next to us, but he doesn't know Christ then his spiritual state score is zero; however a pious Jew before Christ would have a higher spiritual state score.

But in Judah, it comes from statements like this: <blockquote> And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father. </blockquote> from 1 Kings 15:11, and the opposite for example 1 Kings 15:3. In the lines of the kings of Israel we find things like this <blockquote> And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the LORD above all that [were] before him. </blockquote> from 1 Kings 16:30, or in other places that a certain one "walked in the way of Jeroboam"for example 1 Kings 16:19. So there's no mathematical formula behind it (yet!), but it falls out of the text pretty naturally. What should the units on the y-axisfor spiritual state be measured in?
