    The TRUTH About the Number 46 Meaning in the Bible

    Please remember that in the original texts there were no chapter and verse divisions; and that in the OT there are only 22 books. Ezra and Nehemiah are one book. 1 &2 Kings are one book. 1 & 2 Samuel are one book. Etc. Any of your calculations using post 2nd century divisions or texts are...

    Traditons, has the meaning been hijacked

    In the 2nd century a fighter came up known as Bar Kochba and fought a war to kick Rome out of the Holy Land in 134-5. Rome won and forcibly removed the Jews from Jerusalem and the entire province of Judea, renaming it Palestina and repopulating it with Arabic people from several different...

    Traditons, has the meaning been hijacked

    I find that use of capitalization a bit incongruous since the Greek had no capital or lower case letters. But i find it interesting since Jewish tradition was believed to also be divine revelation given on Sinai and transmitted orally from Moses to Joshua and eventually to the men of the...

    Traditons, has the meaning been hijacked

    "Tradition"as Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:2, Galatians 1:14, 2 Thessalonians 2:15 and 3:6 was not "church" tradition; but actually Jewish tradition. As he said to the rabbis in Acts 28, he kept the Law and the "customs of the fathers;" meaning the Jewish sages.

    Why do people act religious?

    Your choice. I was very skeptical at first as well. But studying what the Pharisees actually taught instead of what I learned in church convinced me otherwise. I suggest you study it out for yourself.

    Why do people act religious?

    Actually HE taught in the Pharasaic doctrinal field, coming in somewhere between Hillel and Shammai, the founders of the 2 main houses of pharisee training. Almost all rabbinically trained Jews today recognize that fact.

    I Can't Look at Myself

    If that is so, then you have the WRONG God. the TRUE God does NOT want you to suffer; but the devil likes to play dress up and make you think he is God. It is the devil and his lies that make you suffer.

    What's on your mind?

    No, not in the least. But I had to set up 2 workstations for my wife and i to work from home. I seem to have a lot of connectivity problems. Sharon not quite so much, but she is set up right next to the router. I am on a different floor.

    Bible Corruptions

    If that is true, WHY could the KJV translators NOT even correctly translate the name of the 20th book of the NT? Ἰάκωβος > Iakōbos = Jacob, NOT James.

    News from the Holy Land

    Ugh. Shas is an ultra orthodox Sefardic party that joins to either liberal or conservative governments and wants only one ministry: Interior dept. They are vehemently anti-Messianic; and have used the ministry to exclude Jews who believe in Jesus from moving to (and in some cases visiting) Israel.

    Newly Wed NEED sex advice

    I don't know, but perhaps a history lesson in the sexual attitudes and understanding of the Apostles might help. They were Jews and Jewish tradition (evidenced in the Mishnah and the first century marriage contracts) was that sex was a WIFE'S right and a husband's responsibility. The contracts...

    Newly Wed NEED sex advice

    I had the same thought. The idea of something being forbidden was what attracted him. Now that he has it, the desire for the forbidden is lost. IF That is the problem, it is a psychological issue that needs to be addressed by a professional. Did you guys have premarital counseling? Did you...

    Newly Wed NEED sex advice

    While that may be a possibility, I would not not jump to that conclusion so fast, esp the affair part.
