Blogger & Revolver Statistics
Blogger statistics, which I would reason are likely the most accurate as my sites/blogs are both from Blogger, state the United States of America provides more audience, more readers than any other country, with Canada being second with both of my sites.
Revolver statistics are not in agreement with Blogger in regard to my other blog, Dr. Russell Norman Murray. Although Revolver does not provide the in-depth statistics that Stat Counter and Site Meter do in regard to pageviews, it does record temporarily many pageviews that the other services do not. Histats as well records some of the statistics that the other services do not, but none of the programs record all visits and pageviews and therefore by me using four free programs and Blogger statistics which are just data statistics as the prime source, I have an idea of the true state of my blogs statistically.
Revolver statistics in regard to audience/visits for this blog
1. United States 41.36%
2. Canada 25.26%
3. United Kingdom
4. India
5. Australia
6. Germany
7. France
8. Philippines
9. Brazil
10. Spain
With this blog and with the relative abundance of computers, and reasonable member numbers of Evangelical Christianity, Reformed Christianity and the Roman Catholic Church in the United States of America, it is not a surprise that more readers arrive to Satire And Theology from the United States of America than anywhere else.
I still have not figured out why my key readers/pageviewers may very well be quiet 90 year old grandmas from a couple or so States mainly...;)
Perhaps because I am temporarily homecaring?
1 Timothy 5:7-8 English Standard Version (ESV)
7 Command these things as well, so that they may be without reproach. 8 But if anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for members of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.
James 1:26-27 English Standard Version (ESV)
26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
Canada as my home country providing the second most visits/pageviews and audience members makes sense as my own pageviews are counted. I do not attempt to turn those off because for one, I am not the only person on the router network and others read my blog while on the network.
I have local friends that read my posts.
I also have friends in the United Kingdom that may read my posts at times.
Revolver statistics in regard to audience/visits for my Dr. Russell Norman Murray blog
1. Canada 41.76%
2. United States 33.34%
3. United Kingdom
4. Australia
5. India
6. Brazil
7. Germany
8. Philippines
9. Netherlands
10. Indonesia
If the Revolver statistics are correct over the Blogger statistics with my other blog, which I certainly doubt, it raises the philosophical possibility which I completely deny up front, that I am stalking myself...

As incredible as it sounds, men and women took baths only twice
ReplyDeletea year (May and October) Women kept their hair covered, while men shaved
their heads (because of lice and bugs) and wore wigs. Wealthy men could
afford good wigs made from wool. They couldn't wash the wigs, so to clean
them they would carve out a loaf of bread, put the wig in the shell, and
bake it for 30 minutes. The heat would make the wig big and fluffy,
hence the term 'big wig... ' Today we often use the term 'here comes the
Big Wig' because someone appears to be or is powerful and wealthy.

ReplyDelete"There are also different shapes and sizes [of countries?] to play with."
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like when they drew up all the new borders after World War 2. With Obama and his puppet masters seemingly bent on starting World War 3, maybe there are plans to redraw them again?
"I doubt the girls are really excited about no shower, Jack.."
ReplyDeleteI agree with you there.
Having been recently watching old Hawaii Five-O episodes from the '60s and '70s, I notice that their common parlance to refer casually to another guy is "Bruddah". I recall "Man" being common in the '70s. I think in an earlier decade they said "Bub".
I suppose Jack became common with the expression "Hit the road, Jack".
I do not think the American or Western people have the stomach for more war at this point, sir.

Page 78 and from web
4151 pneúma – properly, spirit (Spirit), wind, or breath. The most frequent meaning (translation) of 4151 (pneúma) in the NT is "spirit" ("Spirit"). Only the context however determines which sense(s) is meant.
[Any of the above renderings (spirit-Spirit, wind, breath) of 4151 (pneúma) is always theoretically possible (spirit, Spirit, wind, breath). But when the attributive adjective ("holy") is used, it always refers to the Holy Spirit. "Spirit" ("spirit") is by far the most common translation (application) of 4151 (pneúma).
The Hebrew counterpart (rûach) has the same range of meaning as 4151 (pneúma), i.e. it likewise can refer to spirit/Spirit, wind, or breath.]
God the Son is the Word from John's writings.
The Scripture/Bible is the word of God all through the New Testament.
The Gospel contains an aspect of the word, key in the word of God. So it could called the word.

This raises the difficult philosophical question from the 1990s...
ReplyDeleteWhen Bobby Buff in his bodybuilding prime looked in the mirror, was he the only person in history to be 'in love' with himself?
Just wondering...
Thank you, Dr. Murray, for addressing my previous questions.
ReplyDeleteTo delve further, Rhema and Logos have been used synonymously, but I understand that they are actually different.
Apparently, Rhema is referred to as the "spoken word," for example, the revelation received by the disciples when the Holy Spirit "spoke" to them. Logos can apparently refer to both the Bible and to Jesus. Logos can refer to Christ, the subject from Genesis to Revelation, so apparently there is a tie-in or crossover connecting the Bible to Christ, or some similarity between the two. I'm wondering if this is basically a play on words of some sort. Rhema is said to be the revealed word of God, as an utterance from God to the heart of the receiver via the Holy Spirit, as in John 14:26.
So apparently, Rhema is the spoken word and Logos is the written word. Therefore, when Christ was on earth, His spoken words and teachings were Rhema. The Bible is apparently Logos, and Christ is also Logos. But some seem to imply that Rhema is like a revelation received, or at least the means by which a revelation is received. Some (i.e., Charismatics) apparently say that Logos is useless unless Rhema is utilized, via the Holy Spirit. Hence, when someone does not understand the Bible, they say it is (if I understand correctly) because of a lack of Rhema. Or, if the Bible just sits on the shelf, it is Logos, but not Rhema, and not affecting anyone, so therefore Logos by itself is useless, some say. I would agree that revelation or understanding of the Scriptures can only come via the Holy Spirit, but whether it can only come via Rhema, I am not sure. For example, can you not read the Bible silently, without any spoken word, and still receive revelation or understanding or light from God, through the Scriptures which you are silently reading to yourself?
Further, Logos, meaning "word," can apparently include thoughts, principles or speech, and also has to do with human reasoning and intelligence. For example, learning about God and His principles and values by reading the Bible is apparently included in Logos. But Rhema, which also means "word," is different from just the written word. For example, some have said that when a Christian is reading the Bible and feels that God is speaking to him/her personally through that verse at that time, that is apparently thought of as Rhema. I read that Logos is meant for everyone, while Rhema is for an individual, directed by the Holy Spirit. Rhema seems to be regarded as spiritual insight or an "Aha!" moment when a light bulb goes on (so-to-speak) when struggling with or reading a certain passage of the Bible, or else praying about a problem and God showing them the answer, or even God showing or directing them what specifically to do. Charismatics might call that a 'word of knowledge' or a 'word of wisdom,' though I think there is doctrinal error tied into that part of it.

ReplyDeleteIt has also been said that Logos is that which gives general knowledge, general understanding and general wisdom about God, while Rhema is that which God uses to impart faith into a believer’s heart so that he or she then can be spiritually reborn, cleansed, saved, and justified, with the Spirit of Life living inside a believer, equipping him or her so that a believer is ready to receive spiritual insight about Logos.
There does seem to be some crossover or intersection between the two, as Logos can apparently also be the act of speaking, and Rhema can, it seems, also come from just reading the Bible silently. Acts 10:44 says, "While Peter was still saying these things (rhema), the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word (logos)." Here the Logos is equated with the Rhema that occurred through Peter's words. And in 2 Peter 3:5 it is the Logos that was spoken and the heavens came to exist. So in this case, Rhema and Logos are basically synonymous, it seems. Again, in Hebrews 12:19, it says, "...and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further message (logos) be spoken to them." So here, Logos is equated with Rhema.
The Rhema of the Old Testament prophets was written, yet they are referred to in the New Testament as that which was spoken by the prophets. So Rhema can be seen as referring to that which is written. Although the prophets spoke those words, to the people that Peter wrote to, and to us, they are written.
When the Bible talks about the Word of God (i.e., Ephesians 6:17), is it talking about that which God has spoken, or that which is written? Regardless, whether it uses Rhema or Logos, it still points to that which was originally spoken by God, does it not?
