So I have been a bit torn as of late. I would describe myself as an ecclesiastical melting pot because I have spent a tremendous amount of time bouncing between denominations. As a result, I have found a lot that I like within each denomination and have come to see the beauty in each. However...

Here is a great Biblical example of your question: "If at any time I announce that a nation or kingdom is to be uprooted, torn down and destroyed, and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I planned. And if at another time I...

I believe that Jesus' resurrecting of Lazarus was one of miracles that revealed his divinity to the general public and the religious leaders of the time.

I would consider this bifurcation. Just because the verses you provide that speak of the eternal life awaiting those who place their faith in Christ Jesus lacks any mention of eternal torment does not automatically equate to the nonexistence of such punishment. If you want to speak of logic...

While I would love annihilationism to be true, I find the doctrine to be severely lacking of Scriptural support when put up against the conventional understanding of hell.

So I'm in the process of self-learning Greek prior to starting Seminary. I own a copy of the UBS1 (1966) Greek new Testament. Is there a major difference between UBS1 (1966) and UBS4? Big enough to go out and buy a new UBS Greek New Testament?

Sometimes it is: Enjoy the terrible two's! Haha.

This will be my third mid-week Torah service. However, having a two year old daughter who is quite active at this point in her life, I have yet to attend a mid-week Torah service and Shabbat service all the way through. Typically, at some point I have to leave to tend to her in some way, shape...

Still going to CTOMC. I am usually there throughout the day periodically, as studies and priorities allow. This past Shabbat I was not in the chat; my family and I were in Tucson visiting my parents. I'm doing my first Torah reading on Wednesday.

So I have received many of the books that I ordered and have finished some. I have concluded the two books by Kasdan (God's Appointed Times and God's Appointed Customs). I have also received and enjoy the Complete Jewish Bible by Stern, as well as his New Testament Commentary. I am currently in...

I think what she is saying is that the Torah should not be disregarded anywhere, whether it be here in America or in Jerusalem. The Torah is Torah and it's rather clear on this issue. Holy Land or any other geographical location, the Torah should not be disregarded.

No more needed suggestions...my wife spent the rest on a Pottery barn Home Collection book. Haha.

You recommend any specific book by Lancaster?

I will have to check out some of his stuff. So far on my list of ordered books (please tell me if you have read/own any): Restoration: Returning the Torah of God to the Disciples of Jesus by D. Thomas Lancaster Should Christians be Torah Observant by Carmen Welker Our Father Abraham: Jewish...

Yes! Good reminder...added!

Perfect. Have you read any of his books? If so, recommend any? He seems to have an extensive and impressive educational resume.

I laughed at what I put...I am sure it is good. Anyways, not that the Siddur is out of the way...I still have all that money for books. Anyone want to jump-start the recommendations? Anyone have any "you've got to read this!" type books?

I just purchased the Messianic Siddur by Rabbi Dr. John Fischer. Hopefully it's good...

I haven't really been able to find any Messianic Siddurs that are available for a good price. The only one I found that sounds like a good deal is $18.00: Siddur For Messianic Jews I'm not very well-informed of siddurs, so any knowledge or recommendations would be great.

Off-Topic again: I just traded in two books through Amazon and have a 110.00 gift card to spend. I'd like to get a Siddur and other books that would be beneficial for me. Thus far, I have ordered and on the way: The Sabbath by Abraham Heschel God's Appointed Customs: Messianic Jewish Guide to...
