Specifically, adultery is a subset of fornication. In the domain of sexual sins, violation of the marriage covenant is just one type.

The purpose of the place setting is to anticipate the arrival/return of the Messianic forerunner... not to waste food. I consider the OP adversarial and confrontational. It reflects an erroneous misunderstanding of the practice of setting a place for Eliyahu.

I haven't done any statistical counts, but from my quick review, I found roughly 50/50. It deoends on which author you're reading. Samuel and Kings used the short form. The chronicler used the long form. Matthew used 3 sets of 14. I think the connection to D+V+D=14 is more than clear as the...

Matthew 1 contains 3 lists of 14 names. The name of David, in Hebrew is dalet-vav-dalet, or... 3 letters with a value of 4+6+4=14 The entire purpose of Matthew's genealogy is to scream the name "David" at the reader.

I place zero credibility in the sensationalistic claptrap that passes for eschatology studies these days. That said, it is never a bad time to repent. Especially now, during the Ten Days of Awe.

I consider that a foregone conclusion.

That MessianicBible scam has been going on since the 1980's.

I advise extreme caution. James is a brilliant individual, but his organization has always been a toxic atmosphere, embroiled in controversy.

I fail to understand what makes you think the Isaiah passage has anything to do with Gentiles. The prophet explicitly states he is referring the return of Israel to their land (vss. 22-28).

The transliteration of Messiah’s name really isn’t a matter of rocket science. Yes, some have claimed there was some great conspiracy going on, trying to eradicate the original pronunciation of Messiah’s name. But there is no such conspiracy. At most, think of it like the drift that occurs in...

Actually, I agree with you. I consider those topics rather out of place, as well. Didn't mean to single out your post as anything unique. I followed Wilkerson back when he was the hot Christian product, along with Nicky Cruz. Your post caught my eye mostly because I consider him as just another...

I'm not getting in what way Wilkerson is relevant to the Messianic community...?

I appreciate your postings in this forum. You do a fine job representing Messianic views, from what I have seen. That said, this is one aspect I consider debatable, at best. I also started out taking the Christian faith as my initial baseline, then adding increasing doses of Torah and Jewish...

I get what you're saying, but you are inserting your own perspective inti the carefully crafted midrash, rather than doing the hard work of discerning the author's intent. The author of Hebrews already selected the instances he wanted, and he didn't include Isaiah. He made King David his...

I would say because that wasn't the point he wanted to make. Shabbat exists independently of human participation. The author's goal was to encourage his readers to persevere, awaiting the future time when Hashem would "make it all Sabbath". He wasn't exhorting them to "keep" Shabbat—he was...

Your "concern" is duly noted.

No, not dumb. We all aren't always on the same wavelength.

Ummm... I was talking about Messiah. The fact that you missed the allusion concerns me a bit.

I am presently working my way through F. F. Bruce's classic commentary on Hebrews. Next will be "The Midrashic Imagination" and "The Framework of the New Testament Stories".

Interesting. I think I was aware of that at the time. But I had long forgotten about it. Hard to say. Sometimes an attempt to change a group from the top results an a backlash. That's really not true. "Hebrew" was the common designation up until after WWII. One of the earliest Messianic...
