Is there really a "peace treaty" mentioned in the 70 Weeks Prophecy of Daniel 9? It's been stated as fact for at least 50 years. But let's really take a look and discover what Gabriel was referring to. We'll discover that Covenant is the key that unlocks all prophecy in the Bible.
The current modern Jewish calendar can not be used to accurately date historical events before 350AD. Although the structure of the calendar was not different, a very important and little appreciated detail in how the calendar was synchronized with the seasons has been overlooked. In this...
In my various careers, I have been recognized as an innovative and free thinker. A lot of this is due to the skills in scholarly research that I have. I pursue each topic in a deep dive to understand them to their core and do not take assumptions at face value. In the landscape architecture...
In the early church, we see statements suggesting that the dietary laws of clean/unclean meats from Old Testament passages such as Leviticus 11 are no longer binding. For example:
As for their [the Jews'] scrupulousness about meats, and their superstitions about the Sabbath, and their...
Both Catholicism and Protestantism have their basis in Judaism, and I've been very curious on the subject for quite some time. The one church I went to had some Messianic Jews and introduced me to a Passover seder so that we could all experience one, and I found it fascinating how this tradition...
Brothers and sister, the 2300-year prophesy that started the Seventh-day Adventist world church was the beginning of a greater understanding of the Sabbath, due to the unit used of "evenings and mornings" that takes us back to the first day.
He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and...
It has been a while since this topic has been raised in this forum. As someone who wore a head covering in the past, I’m curious to know your thoughts.
Do you feel its necessary to cover your head? If so, do you abide by the practice every day or in certain scenarios? Is it only restricted to...
I began reading How to Run a Traditional Jewish Household a few days ago. I’ve perused the book several times over the years. But I felt an inward pull to work my through it and I’m doing so at present. The author is personable and her perspective aligns with Modern Orthodox Judaism. Its been...
It is said that Christians, Jews and Muslims worship the same God, 'the God of Abraham.' Do they?
Christians worship 'the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,' and 'the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ' (Exodus 3:6; 2 Corinthians 11:31).
Jews worship 'the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob'...
I have a friend who is in the process of getting a divorce from his wife who he has been married for 30 years or so. The marriage has been bad for at least the last 20 years. His wife I'm sure is at least seriously mentally ill and maybe even demonized (Kevin my friend does not believe...
How is Jesus the King Messiah when he did not fulfill the main Messianic prophecies? For instance, we read in Isaiah 11: And there shall come forth a shoot out of the stock of Jesse, And a twig shall grow forth out of his roots. And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, The spirit of...
I wanted to have a serious dialogue about the Hebrew Scriptures, and particularly the person of Jesus. I am willing to consider the possibility that Jesus may have not been who he said he was, if you are willing to consider the possibility that he was who he said he was.
I'm aware that Jews...
Hey Folks, I just thought I'd drop by--again--and hand off this nifty little video I found, one made by that science gal from The Big Bang Theory (yes, Mayim Bialik, who plays Amy Farrah Fowler). She has some interesting things to say which seem to reflect in a substantial way---and also in...
Questions on Judaism
I have recently been listening to a Jewish apologist, Tovia Singer. I have placed these comments/questions on his discussion forum here in response to his video entitled Did God Destroy the Second Temple Because Jews Rejected Jesus? - and now place them at Tweb for further...
I want to make an appointment, and it is how to help some friends who are going through some very painful life tests.
In the early days of September his fifth son of 20 years was diagnosed as bipolar. In the middle of the month, a 4-year-old grandson of spina bifida closed, and at the end of...
Before putting this out to an open forum like this, I gave it to my brother to ask his thoughts as he is a bit more accustomed to listening to my crazy thoughts. He enthusiastically said post it! He also told me to offer you a few more verses regarding practicing our own traditions to give you...
