  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Just fact. You still have not supported your claim of the masoretic claim is a Pharisee writing.
The Masoretes were Pharisees. The Sadducees rejected the Oral Torah; and we haven't heard from them since the Council of Jamnia.

Here since you trust AI.

“The Masoretes (active c. 500–1000 AD) were
not Pharisees in the sense of being members of the 1st-century Jewish political-religious sect. However, they were the spiritual and professional heirs to the Pharisaic tradition, which emphasized the preservation of the oral law and the meticulous standardization of the Hebrew scriptures.”

Not Pharisees.

So I guess you need to define Pharisee.

Are you going to back up any of your bare assertions?
Here is your assertion and your posts.

I don't argue with them. I just tell them the truth.

Modern Rabbinic Judaism stems from the Pharisees.

The Masoretic Text comes from the Pharisees; but you won't even find scripture to support this in their text.

As I said before, I respect Yah's appointed authorities on matters of scripture, the sons of Zadok, who did not keep the Masoretic Text in their library.

I'll go with what Yah says when it comes to scripture.

Again that is Rabbinic Judaism, which is founded in Phariseeism. This dogma cannot be found in scripture. To the contrary, scripture outlines Paternal lineage as the determinant factor to this very day, even the Masoretic text.

Ignoring these facts doesn't change these facts.

No they aren't, not by a long shot. There are so many variants that it would be a major study to find them all.

The LXX, multiple variants of the DSS, the Samaritan text, and the MT, all have variants between them.

None of them are consistent with each other.

However, none of them outline maternal lineage as a determinant factor. On Paternal lineage they all agree, but not necessarily in the order of that Paternal lineage.
