I have no idea what those labels are intended to mean.
@grammargirl is given a label that says Normal 0%. That makes no sense unless the smaller the number the better.
There is no way that her rating should be inferior to mine. She posts quality spouts and she posts more often.

I'm sorry that my attempt to make a general comment about the subject of paradigms failed to sound as generic as I had intended.

This will be helpful to you.

Didn't you make a monolith statement about republicans?
Just as Democrats disagree with each other on many subjects so do the Republicans.
I'm an ex-political person. I no longer vote and I try (not always successfully) to remain neutral on "the issues of today". I'm sure they'll be diffrnt later.

For what its worth both the time periods of "The Judges" and "United Kingdom" had a minor time period in which the label doesn't fit the facts.
There was a bramble king who did not serve God during the Judges
AND
After Saul's death, the kingdom was not united for seven years.

Anyone that thinks that Jesus or 1st century Christians taught that we should use civil government and earthly force to fulfill Christ's message and agenda has not been reading the Bible with unfiltered eyes. That includes GOP, Dems, or anyone else.

God was not concerned about "interracial" marriages, He was concerned about inter-religious marriages. See Deu. 7:4
During the 5th time period, Moses' sister and brother became upset when Moses married a Cushite and God told them Moses was faithful and struck Miriam with leprosy.

One of the things that is overlooked about the time period is that Jacob's family had begun assimilating into the pagan cultures in Canaan and when they went to Egypt, they told the king they were shepherds in order to avoid living among the Egyptians.

The reason the 3rd time period comes to an end is because God decides because of man's sins to separate to Himself a special people who will be set apart from the rest of mankind and dedicated to His service and fellowship.

The english word "ark" is from the latin "arca" and it simply means a box.
I don't know when people started thinking that ark means boat.

The Bible's meaning has not changed in over 1900 years.
There've been many through the centuries who have tried to redefine the Bible but that is simply false teaching.
Peter and Paul could not vote.
Paul was one of the few who had any political rights and even he didn't have what USA has.

The indulgence of self lies at the root of our basic problems.
The cravings of the eyes
The cravings of the flesh
and The pride of life
are all centered on the sense of self which developed while we were still infants and unable to think logically or altruistically.

Not only didn't the box crash, the integrity of its bottom remained intact while the waters receded.

Yours is ALSO a system which is self-referential.
I KNOW that my belief system is self-referential but I doubt that you are aware of the self-referential nature of science. It is based on axioms and postulates just as belief in the Bible is based on the axiom of God's existence.

If you are assuming that science has disproved creation or disproved the Bible then you are entitled to that assumption.

One has to read over and over with the attitude that what one thought passages meant might not be right. I'm still finding places where my earlier perception of a passage's meaning is shown by the rest of the Bible to be incorrect.
