@Halbhh I hope you don't think all those verses with the firstborn son in Exodus and Numbers are about them killing children on the altar! That's not the case! If you read the context carefully in those chapters, you'll see that Yahweh is talking about redeeming the children, and that it was...

I just read through that chapter recently. When I read that verse, this is what it meant to me, in paraphrase: "You've been sacrificing children, yea, my children to other gods, who are no gods, and I the true God never commanded you to do such a thing, nor has it ever entered my mind to...

This is another presentation that has quite a few visuals of the dig. It's from an earlier dig season, and spoken by a third party who went to visit the site:

Wow, how come we never hear about this? This is Dr. Steven Collins, he's spent 12 years digging up Sodom. He's a Christian faithfully sticking to the Genesis account, proving the facts of the Bible, a real archeologist, highly recommended. Praise Yahweh!

If you read the entirety of Matthew 5:43-48, you'll notice that verse 48 is completely in the same context: Matthew 5: 48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. So the answer to your question is: the people that Yahweh loves, even in the way that He loves...

Not in itself, no. Leviticus 19: 17 Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin on him. You see how "neighbour" and "brother" are equated. 18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear a grudge against the children of thy people, but...

I believe 2 Peter 2 is a good cross reference.

Another way to order them is aleph-betically by their Hebrew names (see 8d and 8e here.) So פתח ־ַ‎ goes before קמץ ־ָ etc. Praise Yahweh!

טוב הוא לאלף העברי כי יברכך יהוה ביהושוע משיח אם מצאת חן בעיניו Translation challenge! :) Welcome to the forums! I'm happy you've found a calling with Hebrew and programming! I love both myself. Praise Yahweh!

Paul often uses "the flesh" as a metaphor, as does Yahushua in Matthew 26:41, but this verse is interesting in that "the flesh" is distinct from "his spirit," and not "the Spirit," almost as if he's speaking of his individual flesh and spirit. I think these verses help relate what Paul was...

True! Here's Scriptural proof to back it up: Post Mount Sinai: Numbers 36:10-11 Joshua 15:16-17, Judges 1:12-13 2 Chronicles 11:17-20 Pre Mount Sinai: Genesis 29 1 Chronicles 23:21-22 Genesis 22:20-23, Genesis 24:67 Man may consider that, but he does not know better than Yahweh. And...

Then please answer two questions which have nothing to do with Salvation, but everything to do with the Law. If someone asked me these questions, I would answer them with a simple yes or no for each, and of course rely on Scriptures to back my answers up. If I didn't know the answer I would say...

This is your first post to me in this thread. I believe your argument is that we don't need to study or know the Law in order to keep it. This was my response. You'll note it has nothing to do with salvation. It's an impersonal question regarding the Law, but this is how you responded: The...

Gesenius Hebrew Grammar lists them out by the vowel letters as found in the Latin alphabet: see here. I don't think there is a formally accepted order, although people surely have their preferences. Lexicographically speaking, it may be easier to go in the order of the unicode if you're...

I loved these posts so much I just had to quote 'em. I hope you don't mind! :heart: Praise Yahweh for such lovely children!
