    Age of the earth.

    Last reply to you. I did say that I went to school for the Biblical languages. You must've missed or conveniently ignored that. Beyond this, it has nothing to do with it being "to complicated for [me] to understand" and I "can not sort [my] way through it..." that's the reason I've decided to...

    Of course, telling the truth about something is "prejudice" and "anti-Semitic"....woooooow. I've given you all of the facts as to what the Kabballah is and incorporates. You've consistently ignored that I brought up that the very thing you're defending is the very thing Jesus fought against with...

    I'm not sure why, but it seems you keep missing the main point and keep going into all of this other stuff that I'm already familiar with and never denied and again, is not the point. You bring up teachings of the Kabballah and when I cask you about it and call you on it you flip back to you're...

    Diamond, while all of this above is interesting, it has little if nothing to do with the claim you seemed to have taken offense to. Which was that you seemed, let me re-emphasize that, seemed to be adopting some teachings of the Kabballah into your life. Or, I'll amend this here, you seemed to...

    Despite our disagreements, I have tried my best to be very respectful toward you while also calling you out on certain things. It's never my intention to misrepresent you or put words in your mouth. Which is why I linked the post in question for your own reference to recall your own words. With...

    Age of the earth.

    But you mentioned the Kaballah back in post #196 as if you were adopting teachings from it into your life when you brought up a saying in it about qualifications to be an Elder or to teach at 40 years of age? I agree that the disciples who were ordained to write or pass on this knowledge...

    This doesn't change the fact that the Kabballah is Jewish Mysticism. Mysticism is a known part of Hasidic/Chasidic Judaism. Mysticism by definition is a belief that direct knowledge of God, spiritual truth, or ultimate reality can be gained through a intuition, insight, altered states of...

    That also, first day, second day, etc. Good point. Strong's may be at fault for the average person, but believe that there are others who try to get deep into the Hebrew and still try to twist it with mental gymnastics.

    Age of the earth.

    Yes. It's interesting because we don't do this in our own language as I've said in earlier posts. When we use the word "day" or "days" in a way that doesn't mean a 24-hour period, we have context around it to indicate that's what we're doing. "Back in my day we used to do things differently," or...

    Age of the earth.

    You do realize that the Kabballah is Jewish Mysticism, right? An Esoteric belief system? A system of thought and.....traditions....not ordained by God or canonized in even the Jewish Bible? Also, I tried to access Gerald Schroeder's link, but I'm currently at work and it's usually when I come...

    Age of the earth.

    Diamond7, If it's possible in the future in regard to replies to me, could you not put them in multiple posts? It makes it tedious for me to respond to everything as I have to continuously quote different posts versus just one post and break that up. If not, I get it, but thought I'd ask. This...

    Age of the earth.

    But like you said, if that's what's being referred to, it's ignoring the context of the passage and gets into exactly what I said - Jesus contending with them because they created a lot of lofty and legalese "traditions of the elders" (verse 2) and has absolutely nothing to do with modern...

    Age of the earth.

    Assuming that you intended "wants us" here to be "warned us," I'd have to say that I don't know where you're getting from scripture that Jesus warned us about people rejecting science because it contradicts their traditions? Jesus was focused on salvation and rebuking and correcting the...

    Age of the earth.

    Yes, some of it is why we have Jewish Mysticism in things like the Talmud, etc. And again, some of it is why Jesus contended with the Rabbis of his time because they added too much to the law, creating traps and problems. (I'm over simplifying). Yes, the Talumd & Mishna and things before that...

    Age of the earth.

    Some of the oral traditions of the Rabbis is just stuff they came up with and not necessarily biblical in anyway or applicable to the Hebrew language in any way. You're arguing semantics. We know that man = male, and female = woman. Aside from that, I already pointed out that Genesis 1 uses...

    Age of the earth.

    I just want to jump in here and correct you. In Genesis 1:26 and 1:27, the word for man is actually the same word אָדָם for "man" with the exact same spelling (read from right to left as per Hebrew is read from right to left) you have a Mem-Dalet-Aleph with nekudots to indicate vowel and...

    FBI: 'Extremely Alarming' Election Threats!

    Be wary of Fulan Gong, I agree, but that doesn't make the rest of the information that has very little to do with them if at all unreliable.

    Wild claims about only SDAs being young Earth Creationists in the 1800's and early 1900's.

    As someone who also studied Christian history, this can be a misleading statement. If Protestants were not of one mind in how to understand Genesis in light of new scientific discoveries, it would allow for there to be Protestants to take Genesis literally, and there were Protestants who did so...

    FBI: 'Extremely Alarming' Election Threats!

    As much as they talk about the Communist Party in China, this is gravely misleading and misrepresting Epoch Times. While, yes, they do support the Falun Gong group, it's not the only religious group they support from the sense of human rights because the organization has never claimed any direct...
