I find it interesting that you pulled out the word ἀγάπη. I've always had a fascination with the way that people in modern Christianity use Greek and Hebrew words, since it is almost always a misrepresentation of how the words were actually used in the languages from which they are being robbed...

שבת שלום לכולם

I just wanted to wish you all a שבוע טוב shavua tov! I'm just heading out of my house to fly to New York City. If anyone is in the city and would like to sit down together over a vegan lunch/dinner to have some lively discussion, I'd love to have some company. I'm not sure if we have anyone on...

Recently I have made two Bible purchases that have disappointed me when I got the text open. The first was a Koren Tanach with a beautiful cover and a gorgeous typeset text. What disappointed me was the way that kaf-sofit doesn't have the vowels inset (ךָ ךְ) but have...

Is anyone else having images not show up, which distorts the look of the forum? Do I need to change forum themes or something?

I'll soon be teaching a Greek class online for free, if anyone would be interested. You can contact me by PM. We will be covering the first level of Greek to GCSE, which is for Attic Greek. However, if you learn Attic, then you will know Koine (the Greek of the New Testament) already.

Would anyone be interested in a panel discussion done through Google Hangouts on a subject of our own choosing? It will be for a panel of up to ten participants, recorded to YouTube directly and streamed through my personal blog - from which viewers can also submit their relevant questions...

I wanted to share with you something interesting from the beginning of Kitsur Shulchan Aruch, since it came up in conversation recently. שִׁוִיתִי ה׳ לְנֶגְדִּ&#1497...

I’m about to go into a debate in which I will be defending Messianic Judaism as closer to the original form of the Jesus movement than Catholicism. I would be glad for any assistance that I can get while engaged in this debate. Not being a Messianic Jew myself, I will be taking up a position...

I would like to engage in the topic of Isaiah 53 and whether or not it supports the position that Jesus is the Messiah. Proposed Topic: Isaiah 53 demonstrates that Jesus is the Messiah. I would take the negative position and am seeking someone to take the positive position. I would...

It seems to be a recurring theme that the Hebrew word for one (that is, אֶחָד ʾeḥāḏ) is itself some type of mystical or magical word that implies plurality within one. It has long been a pet peeve of mine when I see people pull words out of a...

Would you do us the favor of letting us know just where you learned Hebrew? You're resting your "translations" on your own authority. I'd be interested in knowing just what your background is, since you think you can correct all of the translations of the Bible that we have in English.

The question of μία τῶν σαββάτων has been sitting in my mind and how we know that it means “Sunday” (that is, the first day of the week). So, I was rather surprised to receive a ketuba written by a Reform...

MTAA (GuardianShua) and I have had so many instances of interaction on this forum in which he has said that I apply “modern Hebrew grammar rules” to ancient Hebrew. He has argued that יהוה should be read as Yahwah and ישוע as Yahshua and said that...

If you're interested, you're welcome to join the new Hebrew class that I'll be presenting. We're going to use the free online textbook of Cook and Holmstedt called Biblical Hebrew: A Student Grammar (2009). You can find the text online here. I would recommend saving a copy to a flash drive...

Hey, guys and gals! I just wanted to say HI and let you know that I'm here. Not sure how long it will take for my posts to get reported and for me to get booted again, but it's cool to stop in and greet everyone. אני מאח&#1500...

Just wondering what One Law folks make of 2 Corinthians 3:7ff. Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry...

Rosh haShanah is next Wednesday evening, so I wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy new year. If I've wronged any, please accept my request for forgiveness. If any have wronged me, consider it forgiven, and may the next year be one of life, health and prosperity for all of us...

Why do people continue to use legacy fonts that do not copy and paste on forums and into emails? I mean, why not at least post in the language itself? For example, look at the following. Both are cut and pasted from an online Bible with the Greek text. en arch hn o logoV kai o logoV hn...

Hey, guys. Could I get some more reps? I'm addicted!! :) One
