I never said stauros is Hebrew. I said it is Greek. True, but He did not command crosses to be made for religious purposes. This is one of the replies in the Christian Answers Forum regarding "Using incense at home"; "Because your using incense at home for private prayer I assume, there are...

I was trying to understand your question. Some object on the grounds that the Greek word stauros means "an upright pole/post". They see that being different than a cross. JWs hold this view. Others believe we should not have such symbols because it may lead to the same idolatry that Israel fell...

That depends on what you are really asking. Are you asking why there is an aversion to believing that the Son really died on a cross as opposed to an upright pole with no crossbar, or why is there an aversion to receiving the one who died on it as one's personal Master and Saviour, or ...? If...

Neither are the doorposts in the shape of a cross. I would say the blood protecting believers is the primary meaning. What matters is that Yeshua's blood was shed unto death for us. Yes, "just a pole", but with a brazen serpent on it representing Yeshua being lifted up on the cross, it takes...

I agree with most of what you wrote. That is Bible 101. I disagree that the blood on the doorpost is a foreshadow of the cross. It is a foreshadow of Messiah's shed blood applied to each believer protecting us from death. The pole the brazen serpent hung on was a foreshadow of the cross.

Which part of my irrefutable Scriptural refutation do you not believe? Did you read it carefully? If so, show me where I'm in error. Simply telling me I'm "dodging the fact" does not accomplish anything. Do not be deceived by the red letters ignorant printers use for Revelation 1:8. They are...

Revelation 1:11 seems to be the words of Yeshua based on the context of the ensuing verses. It reads, ” Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What you see, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto...

OK, so if "mighty God" is the correct translation, then Yeshua is that "mighty God". However, according to Micah 5:4, YHWH is Yeshua's God. Now we have two Gods. YHWH is God #1 and Yeshua is God #2. Since Scripture teaches monotheism, something is wrong. What's wrong is the translation of Isaiah...

Absolutely not. Yeshua (erroneously called Jesus) is our Savior and our Lord, but he is NOT "the LORD" (YHWH) referred to throughout the OT. When the NT uses the word "Lord", we must determine which Lord it is referring to because Yeshua is "Lord" and his Father, Almighty YHWH, is also called...

The scriptures tell us Yeshua would also be called Emmanuel, meaning "God with us," or more correctly, "El with us." As a result, people teach that Yeshua is "God." This name is to be understood in the light of Acts 10:38; "How God [El] anointed Yeshua of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with...

Close. My answer is in post #9.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! My answer is that the Almighty does not want His people to tread upon the blood that saves them. The same goes for treading upon Yeshua and, by extension, his blood (Hebrews 10:29).

Quick Quiz: Why wasn't the blood put on the threshold? Hint: Scripture does not give us the answer. I just have my own answer :)

How do you get the sign of a cross out of that? It was more like a Hebrew chet or tav than a cross.

What does it matter if something in that poem correlates? It is only a poem, not Scripture? Shabbat Shalom!

Your bold words above are an emotional plea that has nothing to do with the issue. I never said God forgot His children. He was carrying out His plan of salvation step by step. No. Yeshua's death was not the beginning of the process. The process began in the foreknowledge of YHWH before the...

You seem to be confusing redemption and salvation. Salvation is a process and redemption is one phase of that process. The phase of Yeshua's death has bought our release from sin (redemption). Yeshua's resurrection is another phase. Receiving Yeshua as Savior is another phase, etc. After we...

I'm not getting into a discussion about Calvinism. Our redemption was already complete before the resurrection took place. Yeshua's death purchased our freedom from sin.

The pillar of Fire was nonexistent until Israel was ready to walk out of Egypt. It was to "lead" Israel on their way out. Exo 13:21 And YHWH went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: It...

No outsider is to judge a believer. Only believers can judge other believers. That is not a judgment unto condemnation, but a judgment as far as what the will of YHWH is. Does YHWH allow us to drive a car on Sabbath? Does He allow us to reheat food on Sabbath? Does He allow us to heal and do...
