Your reaction seemed very arbitrary to me. Because Christian Scholars do this sort of thing as part of their language analysis. e.g. Michael Heiser, New Testaments studies footnotes etc. But I did Grok your reply in case you are some kind of "Greek Expert" and have caught Grok in a...

(As I said on another thread, this to most of us is common sense and basic Biblical literacy, I let Grok take care of most of the work, unlike my favorite projects where Grok is my editor and I brainstorm and write most everything except the last editing fixes). Acts 15 context and the core...

Well, I did a little Grok investigation of the OP. Colossians 2:14 (Greek text, Nestle-Aland/UBS): ἐξαλείψας τὸ καθ’ ἡμῶν χειρόγραφον τοῖς δόγμασιν ὃ ἦν ὑπεναντίον ἡμῖν, καὶ αὐτὸ ἦρκεν ἐκ τοῦ μέσου προσηλώσας αὐτὸ τῷ σταυρῷ. Literal rendering: "Having blotted out/wiped away the against-us...

While those qualities are Biblical being an aspect of Love, they are not unique to the Judeo-Christian God as far as Trinitarian theology goes. Promotheus stole fire for the sake of humanity and eternally suffered for it. And I'm sure if we thought or Groked hard we could probably find other...

(I spent a number of Grok sessions working on this) Torahism (also called Torah-observant Christianity or the Hebrew Roots Movement) is a modern theological perspective that teaches all followers of Jesus (often called Yeshua) — both Jewish and Gentile — are required to keep the full Law of...

I've answered this thread, but checking Grok just to make sure, I will post this suggested summary (Grok giving my ideas if I did another video on the history of the Canon when I already did one on the Canonization of the New Testament.) Intro (30-45 sec): "The Bible didn't drop from heaven as...

I ask Grok about nuances from Hebrew and Aramaic vocabulary that might imply nuances of the above (My Rabbi friend claims the Hebrew does, a claim that has not held up before on other searches and studies). Here’s a clear breakdown of the key passages and claimed “nuances”: 1. Matthew 5:17 –...

Torahism is the belief that Torah observance is needed for Sanctification. I picked up that term from professor Solberg who runs the "Biblical Roots" channel on YouTube. His channel is completely dedicated to helping Messianic Jews that have gone off the deep end, and fundamentalist...

Wow the winding and twisting conversations I have had. If one didn't know better, one wouldn't know nearly 2000 years have passed since this stuff was really up for debate. Interesting I tried to bring up the issue of how he would actually witness to an Orthodox Jew that doesn't take the...

I also realized this whole topic really fits an wonderful exposition I heard from Eastern Orthodox priest Stephen De Young and had Grok Summarize Tying It to De Young's Argument (Deeper Integration) For those new to the conversation: Rabbi Tovia Singer is a well-known Jewish...

I did a deeper dive, interested in nit picky things like spit balling AD 50 etc. and got this (more expecting my friend to object like he always does than here). Got it—let's get into the nitty-gritty, timeline details, and debate ammo. This is the kind of "spitballing AD 50" stuff that holds...

Yes, I know this is common sense to 99% of Christians out there, but my Messianic rabbi friend asked me to "provide scriptures" for this issue which was probably solved around AD 50 or so. This came from a wandering conversation starting with Aramaic Primacy and George Lamsa, moving to the...

Your putting your finger on one of my biggest gripes against Charismatic Churches that I used to write about. I would not frame it in terms music volume as Calisthenics where the music leader is saying "clap Here", "give me a shout", and basically playing a game of Simon Says. This kind of...

A few months back I watched a great video from Eastern Orthodox priest and Bible scholar Fr. Stephen De Young who hit on a great example that is brutal to Aramaic primacy. I actually did some Grok investigation of and recreated it for folks interested here. St. Cyril of Alexandria’s...

I wanted to post a summary I did on of the work of Steve Caruco from yet another Lamsa video I put out months back sumamrizing Caruco's critque of this topic based on hard facts. "The Peshitta Myth Shattered" Section one, a sword in the garden. Imagine the tense moonlit scene in the garden of...

3) With all the talk concerning explaining "the culture of the Bible", Lamsa himself was taken captive by Biblical Higher Criticism. I will just quote from another one of my video's transcript. I'm pretty vocal about this, because this for me is a huge blind spot that Lamsa had, and it is...

2) Arguing from world religious anthropology. One aspect that made me believed Aramaic Primacy was Lamsa making a seeming common sense argument coming from world religions "That the Scriptures of world religions are always in the native language of their founder". That argument itself does...

I just did a complete Grok rewrite to expand this previous point (make it more clear and give more examples). Shared Folk Beliefs and Cultural Milieu One of the subtler but most pervasive challenges in evaluating George Lamsa’s approach — and much of the Aramaic Primacy literature that draws...
