For me it's easier if the second account is simply a reiteration of the first. It's my understanding that it's supposed to be simple, cause He told us to become like little children.

For me, it's more important that the story asks and answers if I have been led out of slavery. Am I "Moses", an "Israelite", "Pharoah", one of his cronies, etc., and at what points in my life do I change from one to the other. Or, am I struggling inside the way the people in the story do with...

I believe she was a virgin, and that "almah" is being used to refer to a young girl that has not had sex. I believe otherwise the writer would have referred to her as a woman. I believe the whole reason that virginity exists physically, and the reason that it is a theme in scripture, is to...

I'm not trying to support the text source in the traditional sense by saying this, but I would like to offer a reading perspective that is different from the one presented in OP, for comparison. 1. The satan being referenced is the "self" concept inside Moses, and it is "self" that Moses has...

Yeah that's why I said arguably. There's a lot of information in the geographical and personal names surrounding the death. But I'm not preaching it, just saying. You know, cause Moses appeared with Elijah to talk to Jesus, and various people might want to reconcile a dead man walking in...

Arguably, Moses, if Deut 34:1-7 are read as though the death was spiritual, Moses was translated, and that "grave unknown to this day" means the modern reader, being carefully defined as a "man" rather than "Son of man" doesn't see it.

This is the "good hope", proper.

ChetSinger did voice-overs on country guitar instructional tapes in the early 70's, and he only knows the first 7 letters of the alphabet.

OP, nobody can prove that God exists, though they may know it with all their own being. Having said that, Revelation 3:7 or Habakkuk 1:5 (countless other verses) followed by any "secular" song. Peace.

Hate, refuse, abhor, etc... It is a negative feeling that we all understand. Have you considered the idea that the "workers of iniquity" are inside each and every one of us instead of just being specific whole people?

There will be "meat" because it is a metaphor for "a real experience" "fleshly" experience, if one wants to think of it that way. Whether or not we will get to kill a cow and have a cook-out... I'd rather just not care too much. Even though I do love hamburgers.

Yes, the only difference in adding the "vav" to the end of one instance of this word is to "nail" or "make one" or "and" it with the concept at hand. Like nailing Jesus to a tree, the error of making Him a simple decision making process. The meat is in the words that escaped translation error...

To start, always throw out man's vowel points and replace with "schwa", non-letter vowel points have no meaning. R Eh H Sounds like Reh-H' or ReyHuh (I use ' to represent the "schwa" vowel, which is always the assumed non-descript quick vowel that follows every consonant) Root letter meanings...

Eternal was translated from hebrew and greek words that originally mean "beyond comprehension", time not being an inherent attribute. But people refuse to hear, refuse to look it up, and refuse to believe even if they look it up. Torment was translated from a word that means "touchstoning"...

Has happened to me plenty of times too, for what it's worth.
