The blogmaster has agreed to facilitate a weekly Bible study to cater to a large constituent  that frequent the virtual space. Those who are not interested can scroll by. We have discussed matters of ‘faith’ often enough to appreciate we represent all things secular and non secular as a people. The Bible study will be facilitated by Dr. Georgie Porgie

  1. RE Mariposa can also say that as define in the bible heaven can be described as the peace of God which passeth all understanding
    WHERE in the bible IS HEAVEN DESCRIBED as the peace of God which passeth all understanding

    RE Once again i reiterate that the literate teachers of the bible
    are more concerned about the pie in the sky theology than connecting our minds body and soul to a spititual path which connects mankind to the Holy spirit

    YOU WANT TO TEACH BUT YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT——-YOU HAVE NOT SOUGHT TO LEARN SO YOU TALK RUBBISH

    I HAVE PRESENTED A SIMPLE BIOGRAPHY OF A MAN WHO IS SAID TO HAVE WALKED WITH GOD—SOMETHING THAT MANY HERE HAVE SOUGHT TO DO IN THEIR LIVES HERE ON EARTH… NO PIE IN THE SKY

    THE PUNCH LINE IS IF ENOCH CAN DO IT WE CAN DO IT TOO. SIMPLE . THE PERSONS THAT HEARD THE TEACHING UNDERSTOOD THE TEACHING. THEY COULD SEE THE “SIMPLE PATH” THAT ENOCH FOLLOWED

    THEY DID NOT TRY TO COMPLICATE IT


  2. The point that is lost in the translation is that to acquire faith it must be triggered by seismic personal event.


  3. Or have it imposed by a criminal system


  4. RE October 20, 2019 8:52 AM

    the comment is indicative of the reality the many who attend Church and follow by rote? How does this compromise their faith?
    VERY MUCH
    ROMANS 10:17 TEACHES 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

    FAITH COMES BY HEARING HEEDING AND UNDERSTANDING THE WORD—THE FACTS NOT BY OUR FEELINGS

    WE MUST UNDERSTAND CLEARLY WHAT THE WORD SAYS
    THEN ASCERTAIN WHAT THE WORD MEANS
    ONLY THEN CAN WE APPLY THE WORD

    AS IN EVERYTHING IN LIFE, WE MUST FOLLOW THE PROCESS SET OUT IN ORDER TO SUCCESSFULLY INTERPRET THE WORD


  5. RE The point that is lost in the translation is that to acquire faith it must be triggered by seismic personal event.
    EXACTLY! ONE MUST BELIEVE IN CHRIST AS POINTED OUT ALL OVER THE NT —ESPECIALLY IN JOHN’S GOSPEL

    NOTE THE TRANSITION OF NICODEMUS JOHN 3 =>. jOHN 7 => AS HE PROGRESSED FROM NIGHT TO LIGHT!
    OR THE MAN BORN BLIND IN JOHN 9 WHO WENT FROM BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS TO BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL SIGHT


  6. Understanding, Part 2: Faith and Hope
    Building on what we know
    Soon to be Published Part 3

    USING/APPLYING PRINCIPLES: THE SECOND RUNG OF THE LADDER OF FAITH.

    The story below is very instructive. There was a leader, a Roman centurion, who explained to Christ that he being a man in authority knew what is was to command and how that works and he asks Christ to heal his servant. At the same time he admits he was not worthy for this Holy Man to enter into his home. Christ explained to those that followed, that here was a man who knew a principle of authority and applied it to the circumstance and authority of Christ. Thus, knowing a true principle and applying it in a different circumstance caused Christ to exclaim, “When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel”.

    5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
    6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
    7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
    8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
    9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
    10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. (Matthew 8:5–10)

  7. Since God kept His promise to judge the world before, we can be confident that He will also keep His promise to judge it again.

    Fortunately, God is long-suffering, and provides us with adequate opportunities to behave responsibly. When the judgement comes, we will have no excuses if we chose to live irresponsibly.

    Jesus said that one of His missions was to destroy the works of satan. He spent much of His ministry casting out evil spirits from people. People who embrace irresponsible behaviour can automatically invite such spirits to reside within them.

    The responsible among us should direct people towards the light. The righteous tend to agitate the evil spirits within those who are driven to direct people towards the darkness.

    jesus christ! Is Cumberbatch not coming back anytime soon?

    Pacha, David should have told the family that because of my appointment to the Court of Appeal, my contributions to BU are at an end, although I do follow the exchanges with much interest still.


  10. Congratulation Jeff

    There can be no one more deserving.


  11. As usual on BU, commenters find it difficult to follow a simple theme or message.
    The Bible is filled with stories of people, and many famous Bible teachers have employed the Biographical method to teach sections in the Bible like Hebrews 11, or Mathew 1, or Romans 16, or Kings, Chronicles and Samuel. or on some of the main characters like Moses, or Paul etc.
    We have presented a simple teaching on the man ENOCH.
    Instead of enjoying or discussing the issues, some go on at a tangent, or seeks to teach the teacher or just blapheme.
    This is of course done on every thread daily on BU.
    iT IS HILARIOUS. ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS


  12. With Jeff not here again the Sun is permanently taken from this day. How sad.

    You are a man in whom there is no guile. You are on the way to another sterling performance. I wish you success.


  15. There are many stories that predate Jesus but have striking parallels. I have read about Greek mythological “gods” whose characteristics and way of life were similar to that of Jesus, but their existence predated Him.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Are you referring to the various prophesies in the Old Testament?

    Would the first writers of the Old Testament already have the stories of the past in their heads passed to them by their ancestors orally?

    Maybe the Greeks interpreted what they thought they heard so although they may predate the Birth of Jesus, they knew of the prophesies.

    Maybe they invented their mythical gods to match their imperfect understanding of the origins of the Old Testament.

    You certainly have not earned respect by imposing an idiot on us all.

    @ John at 2 :27 PM

    I tend to follow your trend of thought. It is striking that many of the stories in the Bible are replicated in the Mythologies of several other previous and current civilisations. Which came first is hard to determine.

    2 PETER 1:21 IS VERY CLEAR ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF BIBLE STORIES

    For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost

    2 TIMOTHY 3 :16 -17 TEACHES

    16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

    THESE ARE THE PROOF TEXTS FOR THE PLENARY VERBAL INSPIRATION OF THE SCRIPTURES :


  24. Vincent

    For a number of years we got up on Sunday morning to read what Jeff Cumberbatch had to say.

    After being denied that privilege a preacher man turns up to talk shiiite.

    It is not a matter of belief because we did not always agree with Jeff but his was a deeply interesting voice, much appreciated. And in that respect, even unique in Barbados.

    David is to be rightly condemned in this matter the same way we have on many previous occasions, many times, praised him.


  25. BLOG MASTER GIRD UP YOU LOINS LIKE A MAN AND ALLOW FREEDOM OF SPEECH!

    This is why I asked you long time ago about sharing Spiritually Themed Messages. Blog Master the Book mentioned is By Freedoms Spouse….You asked Pacha today if he has a wife, my Question to you David is, DO YOU HAVE A WIFE. Alternatively, are you a ONE MAN BAND? Think before you Criticize! You should welcome such worthwhile Contributions on BU one would think!

    DEDICATION OF UNDERSTANDING BUILDING ON WHAT WE KNOW…

    This book is dedicated to my son and to my wife, who has wisely counselled and has indeed been a helpmeet to me.

    We all who have lived life would like to leave something of worth to those that follow.
    These writings are what I think are of worth as they are part of the understandings of a lifetime,
    If we do not try to pass it on we would have left the world bereft of the understanding that it taught us. The most important people to us are those that we know but oftentimes we never speak of our real experiences and the understandings we have gained, nor the reasons and the methods that we have used to glean that understanding. We instead let each man plough the same ground that we have ploughed without letting the next generation get a head start.

    We see this method used all the time in science. We do not all start to learn for ourselves the nitty-gritty of every thought, but we learn from others, from their experiences and the knowledge that they have revealed. So should we also learn from others the knowledge/understandings that they have learned procuring life’s lessons.
    We give our true inheritance to those that come after when we give of our understanding and wisdom. This is the true inheritance in Israel but it is always for the next generation to choose to use and improve that which they have received or to squander it.

    You give but little when you give of your possessions.
    It is when you give of yourself that you truly give………
    Therefore give now, that the season of giving may be yours and not your inheritors’.
    Kahlil Gibran

  26. EARLIER TODAY AC COMMENTED ON THE APPOINTMENT TO DEATH
    IF YOU GO BACK TO ONE OF THE VERY FIRST PROMISES IN THE BIBLE IN GENESIS 2YOU WILL SEE THIS PROMISE

    16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

    17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

    RE in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.THE HEBREW SCHOLARS REVEAL THAT THIS MAY BE TRANSLATED DYING THOU SHALT DIE

    WHEN OUR FORE PARENTS ATE THE FRUIT THEY DIED SPIRITUALLY- THEY WERE SEPARATED FROM GOD THAT DAY
    GOD HAD TO PUT THEM OUT OF THE GARDEN TO PREVENT THEM FROM THEN EATING THE TREE OF LIFE SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT CONTINUE IN THAT STATE

    IN GENESIS 5 WE LEARN THAT ADAM EVENTUALLY DIED OR APOPTOSED 900 YEARS AFTERWARDS

    SEVERAL PASSAGES IN THE NT- ESPECIALLY EPHESIANS REVEAL THAT MEN ARE DEAD IN THEIR SINS I.E SPIRITUALLY
    EZEKIEL 18:4 & 20 REVEALS THAT THE SOUL THAT SINNETH IT SHALL DIE

    THAT IS THE BAD NEWS

    THE GOOD NEWS IS GIVEN FIRST IN GENESIS 3:15 IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE PROTE EVANGELIUM OR FIRST GOSPEL
    And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

    THE BRUISING OF HEAD AND HEEL EVENTUALLY OCCURRED AT THE CROSS IN A SUBSTITUTIONARY AND SACRIFICIAL DEATH…….NOT A SYMBOLIC DEATH

    EARLIER TODAY I SPOKE ABOUT TYPES AND WAS MOCKED, EVEN THOUGH MOST OF THE OLD TESTAMENT IS PRESENTED AS TYPES OF WHICH CHRIST IS THE ANTI TYPE OF THE OT TYPE OR PICTURE

    WE READ IN EXODUS ABOUT MOSES STRIKING THE ROCK AND BRINGING FORTH WATER
    THIS IS WHAT I CORINTHIANS 10 SAYS ABOUT THIS ISSUE
    NOTE THAT VERSE IS ANOTHER VERSE WHERE THE WORD IGNORANT OCCURS AND THAT WISHES THAT A GROUP OF BELIEVERS BE NOT IGNORANT

    10 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

    2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

    3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

    4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

    David Mr Blogmaster, come now surely you are being theatrical with the retort “Stop trying to frustrate what is happening here. Respect the decision of the blogmaster.

    One or two ‘protestants ‘ – to riff, on the word “protester” – on a subject that has caused arugument, division, death, war and more for centuries and you did not expect to get a crusade of frustrating dissension to your new Sunday bible study!

    If you are truly taken aback by the push back then good sir you should have had your teacher start off your course with a historical perspective on the trials and tribulations caused by and to those advocating the word of God….just to get some perspective that this ‘angst’ is milder than the mildest!

    Nonetheless, an interesting use of your blog space. May I ask if this teacher or maybe Mr Phillips (in the author guise NOT the politician one) or folks like The Miller will use this space to ‘educate’ us on Chistianity and links to Islam and other faith doctrines ?!

    And BTW, if one can find the time it would be a wonderful “‘book’* to capture and reproduce in continuous form the Dean Cumberbath blogs and his explanations of the law herein….now, that could be a ‘bible’ we would (also) study usefully for years to come!


  28. The theory in that video claims people escaping Egypt in the Exodus split off from the Israelites and ended up in Mycenae, Greece where they left evidence in their burials.

    They brought with them Egyptian gold and swords and left on their tombstones images which are suggestive of the parting of the Red Sea.

    The suggestion seems to be that Greek civilization may have its origins in the Exodus.

    The links between different peoples and the Israelites who would have had their story of Creation may have led those different peoples to adopt and adapt.

    Way back when ROK was alive and contributing, he claimed that a pharaoh started the belief in one god.

    It turned out that his pharaoh was a generation or three after the one who was so badly done by Moses so I suggested that perhaps his pharaoh learnt his lesson from the experience of his elders and sought to copy the Israelites.

    If Greek civilization springs from Jewish beliefs then Roman civilization does too.

    Small wonder most people in the West today naturally acknowledge Israel.


  29. GP
    When we enter into the realm of speculation, it takes us into an area where we have no firm footing. By that I mean we will not have empirical evidence to back up what we’re saying. So to you GP, I’m saying to you – respectfully – you have no proof that the things you are putting forward are from any God. Those precepts could very well be born out of a lack o historical evidence and therefore be unreliable.


  30. Pacha,..there are a few of us left with the REAL SPIRITUALITY…which will be passed on to our issue/children and their issue for generations to come…Mariposa nailed it, intentionally or not…..and you reinforced it…the criminal system methodically destroyed SPIRITUALITY in humans…….in most but not all of us, knocked it right out of them from an early age and they do not even know…it’s just by PURE INSTINCT some of us escaped that POGROM…

    am sure you and Miller and some others have researched this and understand what happened then and what will happen next.

    HOW DOES A SIMPLE BIOGRAPHY ON THE BIBLE CHARACTER ENOCH Cause division, death, war and more for centuries

    mUST BU ONLY BE ABOUT POLITICS?

    THE BIBLE IS STILL THE BEST SELLER OF ALL BOOKS

    IF YOU DONT LIKE A new Sunday bible study, READ ON OTHER SUBJECTS AND POSTS THERE. YOU DONT HAVE TO READ ABOUT ENOCH

    THERE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF FOLK AROUND THE WORLD WHO WORSHIP ON SUNDAYS
    THERE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF FOLK AROUND THE WORLD WHO READ THE BIBLE DAILY
    THERE ARE STILL THOUSANDS OF FOLK AROUND THE WORLD WHO ARE DYING AND PREPARED TO DIE FOR THEIR FAITH
    HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PREPARED TO DIE FOR YOUR FAVOURITE POLITICIAN
    THE BIBLE IS STILL THE BEST SELLER OF ALL BOOKS


  36. @Baje:

    Amen to that.
    These Christians worship on Sunday without realizing it is Ra the Sun god that is representative of Sunday. The halo around the heads of the so called Jesus, the saints, etc., is the sun disk that represents Ra.


  37. The bible has many symbolic teachings as to define heaven
    The problem lies in a rigid teaching where bible literates tries to undermine the spiritual teachings of heaven as defined by jesus and interpreted his teachings with illogical translation that baffles the mind
    Yes one would have to be out of touch with the Holy spirit not to understand that having a peace of mind that passeth all understanding is as close to heaven as one can get
    The church must stop teaching illogical translation of things in the bible that they cant understand and start with Truth

    @ Dame Bajans at 4:54 PM

    The derivation of Sunday is irrelevant to Christians. Is the first day of the week the same in other languages? Do the names include sun? Christians do not worship saints. The halos in pictures of saints are of no significance to Christians. The pictures represent the interpretations of the painters/artists not the practioners of the christian religion. We concentrate on the transformational messages of our religion. Form is not substance.

    People of your ilk set up straw men that you can lick down. At this time in our development you ought to know better.


  41. Have you heard of Kanye West and his transition to Christianity
    Here is his intrepretation of heaven on his CD
    ””‘”””””””””””””
    Everybody’s talking about heaven like they just can’t wait to go
    Saying how it’s gonna be so good, so beautiful
    Lying next to you, in this bed with you, I ain’t convinced
    ‘Cause, I don’t know how, I don’t know how heaven, heaven…


  42. RE The bible has many symbolic teachings as to define heaven
    CAN YOU PLEASE LIST THESE symbolic teachings

    The problem lies in a rigid teaching where bible literates tries to undermine the spiritual teachings of heaven as defined by jesus

    PLEASE LIST THE PASSAGES WHERE JESUS SPOKE ON HEAVEN and interpret his teachings with logical translation

    Yes one would have to be out of touch with the Holy spirit not to understand that having a peace of mind that passeth all understanding is as close to heaven as one can get
    WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS WORD SALAD?
    WHERE DOES THE BIBLE TEACH THAT ONE MUST HAVE a peace of mind that passeth all understanding is as close to heaven as one can get

    HOW WOULD YOU SUPPORT YOUR VIEW USING RELEVANT SCRIPTURES?

    RE The church must stop teaching illogical translation of things in the bible that they cant understand and start with Truth
    WHICH “CHURCH” DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?


  43. GP have you ever heard of Benny Hinn
    Well recently after thirty years of teaching on “planting and sowing” in return for Gods blessing he confessed to teaching a false doctrine
    When asked what was his motivation for doing so
    He simply replied he was trying to please those in the ministry
    Only God knows how many false doctrines Hinn has been preaching over the years to itchy ears


  44. RE Yet you teaches that Enoch went to heaven
    How can u be teaching on a subject matter when u are not prepared to answer questions asked
    THE BIBLE SAYS SO
    THAT IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME

    IT ALSO SAYS IN PSALM 23″6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
    I WILL KNOW WHEN I GET THERE

    SEE ALSO JOHN 14
    In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

    3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

    4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

    5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

    6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
    SEE ALSO 2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
    I WILL KNOW WHEN I GET THERE
    I CAN WAIT
    I KNOW THAT I WONT UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING NOW
    12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 1 Corinthians 13:12


  45. AC
    I DONT CARE ABOUT BENNY HINN OR KANYE WEST. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEM OR THEIR ACTIONS, NIETHER ARE YOU

    Excellent Mr Blogmaster….Re “Intend to pull the postings of Jeff under one blog and update BU library.”.

    We take these things for granted but the Dean’s articles and as importantly the readers relevant comment/queries and his explanations/clarifications are an excellent body of teaching I would expect.

    Maybe the Dean now Justice Cumberbatch may feel inclined to get a publisher to give new life to his many years of legal columns (and comments/explanations)…that real life work on the moorings of a Justice of Appeal should be a must read for any person seeking an education of legal issues….Not so!

    And to the Class teacher…not to belabor a point BUT the reference to causing “..division, death, war and more for centuries” was to the subject of the BIBLE generally not specifically the of this blog!

    And surely I did not suggest that “mUST BU ONLY BE ABOUT POLITICS?”.

    Religion like politics is a divisive, much argued (debated) subject I welcome your work going forward and I also welcome the ripostes from Miller, Pacha and hopefully the inputs of Phillips based on his ‘Brothers Kept Apart’ text. I have one on my bookshelf whuch I have not properly read in full. I should do that!

    I doubt that anything posted under this space will change any minds but at least it will generate a review of the different faiths and reawaken debate on agnostics or atheists and all others.

    And oh BTW…wouldn’t you consider it a non sequitur about dying for a charlatan politician as related to doing for one’s faith… Are you equating a pol to a God! 🙃…. Some like to think of themselves like that but none are…no comparison …

    Carry on smartly, Mr Teacher…back to your proselytizing.

    In whatever religious form or gnostic belief…Hallelujah, all!
