In the Bible the concept of blood on the right ear (Leviticus 8:22-24 and 14:28) serves as a visible mark of consecration, signifying that the person is dedicated to God's service and has been set apart for a specific purpose. This act represents a physical and spiritual transformation, preparing the individual for their sacred role. Here's a breakdown of the significance:
*Right ear: The right ear represents hearing and obedience. In ancient times, the right ear was considered the most important ear, as it was the ear that heard the words of God. *Blood: Blood represents life, sacrifice, and atonement. In this context, the blood is a symbol of purification and consecration. *Consecration: Consecration means to set something or someone apart for a specific purpose, making it holy and dedicated to God. In this case, the blood on the right ear signifies that the person is being set apart for a sacred task or role. *Priestly consecration: In Leviticus 8, the blood is applied to the right ear of Aaron and his sons, consecrating them as priests. This act sets them apart as mediators between God and the people. *Purification: In Leviticus 14, the blood is applied to the right ear of the person being cleansed, symbolizing their purification and restoration to the community.

That's a particularly interesting and insightful observation right from the pages of Scripture It's appropriately worthy of consideration during a time such as this. Sure enjoyed the message last night at the Convention.

Classless opinion, but not unexpected.

Gary, I think we reached a new low with this character.
It's okay to be an atheist or agnostic..It's your right. But to make fun of someone's religion on a public forum is beyond the pale. I think it's past time to just not engage anymore. Who will join me? Maybe he'll drift off over to the Prius or EV forums where he belongs. Meanwhile, I didn't know the Marines had a rank called POS 1st Class. Over and out...
