The Toyota Motor Company was named after the f ounder, Kiichiro Toyoda. Management held a

competition to design a new logo (what¶s alogo«?!), and through that process decided in1937 to change the company name to Toyota f or a few r easons, including that the ³t´, as a

³voiceless consonant´ had a clear er sound thanthe mor e ³muddy, murky´ sound of the ³voicedconsonant µd¶´.

Bahamian fellows at school

would say "mother f r eeze"...

Does the symbol change the meaning?

The words (a, symbols) ar e on the outside,

the intent (B, meaning) is on the inside.

Isn¶t it what¶s on the inside that counts?

How have we become so focused, obsessed,

distracted by what¶s on the outside?

Matthew 5:27-28, "Ye have heard that it was saidby them of old time, Thou shalt not commit

adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath

committed adultery with her alr eady in his hear t."

Matthew 5:27-28, "Ye have heard that it was saidby them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery (a, perceivable outward symbol): But I

say unto you, That whosoever looketh on awoman to lust (b, internal intention, meaning)

after her hath committed adultery with her alr eady

in his hear t."

The intention is not hidden f rom God, no matter

what the symbol. J udgment sits on the meaning .

Matthew 23:27-28, "Woe unto you, scr ibes and

Phar isees, hypocr ites! f or ye ar e like unto whited

sepulchr es, which indeed appear beautif uloutward, but ar e within f ull of dead men's bones,

and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also

outwardly appear r ighteous unto men, but withinye ar e f ull of hypocr isy and iniquity."

Consider calling someone a name. I call him an idiot, you call

him an ass. Am I better than you? Ar e you mor e of a sinner

than I am?

What differ ence does it make what either of us call him (the outside) if both of us ar e intent (on the inside) on hur ting his

feelings? Man looks on the outward appearance, God looks

at the hear t. The hear t of the matter is, language is less

impor tant than the intent. I'm suggesting that banging your shin in the middle of the night and saying "@#$%&" out tothe darkness is less sinf ul than telling someone "you'r e so

stupid" with harmf ul intent.

-theology of "condescension" to the most "common", Jesus

was born in a manger (not in a palace), gr ew up in Nazar eth,

spoke Aramaic (not Gr eek, not Roman, not Hebr ew, not

Arabic)...³ate with sinner s", "didn't wash hands r ight", "r idingon a donkey"...par t of why he was not accepted by the

r ighteous pious leader s of the synagogue, he was too

common, too vulgar .

-The incarnation of God in the per son of Jesus, f or the pur pose of executing this par t of the plan of salvation, the

gospel, is embodied in the concept of condescension, the

expression of the vulgar ± this is the ³good news´!

Luke 5:27-33, "And after these things he went f or th, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the r eceipt of custom: and he said unto him,

Follow me. And he left all, rose up, and f ollowedhim. And Levi made him a gr eat feast in his ownhouse: and ther e was a gr eat company of publicans and of other s that sat down with them.

But their scr ibes and Phar isees murmur edagainst his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat anddr ink with publicans and sinner s? And Jesus answer ing said unto them, They that ar e whole need not a physician; but they that ar e sick. Icame not to call the righteous but sinners to
