    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. You think this a legitimate argument? So you are wiser than those who translated the Septuagint which all the New Testament authors quote from? Actually, you don't "know" that. You might suspect it, but I'm of the opinion that they were quoting from the Dead Sea Scrolls or...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Purity. I'm going to put my words in among yours with mine in purple.

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. That's a LOAD of garbage! How do you EVER embolden yourself to say such malarkey?! Have you no sense at all?!! Have you no SHAME at all?!! Are you trying to drive EVERYONE as crazy as you?! Is it totally impossible for you to say you simply were wrong? It's easy to say; say it with...

    Do you know that the Tallit or Jewish Prayer Shaw represents:

    Shalom, afaithfulone4u. Judaism 101 says this: There's nothing special about the tallit. It's just a garment to hold the tsitsit (the tassels) on the four corners of the garment, and they are purely to remind someone about God's commandments. Since Yeshua` kept all these commandments for us...

    Shabbat shalom, Purity. Why are you asking these questions in this manner? Anyway, yes, I can. Here's the Hebrew of `Amowc 9:11-12 with a word-for-word translation: `Amowc 9:11-12 11 Bayowm hahuw' 'aaqiym et-cukat Daaviyd hannofelet vgaadartiy et-pirtseeyhen vaharicotaayv aaqiym uwVniytiyhaa...

    Shabbat shalom, dragonfly. Perhaps the "works of the Spirit" is not exactly a correct way to say it, but have you never read Galatians 3:1-8ff? Galatians 3:1-8 1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, dragonfly. If this is a response to veteran, the problem boils down to this: Do the ten tribes that were scattered among the nations belong to this "residue of men," separate from the "Gentiles," which follows, OR is this poetic speech and as a couplet, this "residue of men" is...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. No. It's as simple as the mathematical formula, "Ezel (Ezel) : Aatseel (Azal, Azel) :: Excel : Edsel," read "'Ezel' is to 'Aatseel' as 'Excel' is to 'Edsel'!" The Hebrew letter zayin (z) is as different from a tsadday (ts) as a "D" is from a "B!" The problem is STRICTLY in...

    MY BABIES IN THE DUNGEON.....Jesus weeps.

    Shalom, Brothertom. The "residue" is NOT "feces!" The Hebrew word within Ezeki'el 34:18 is "v-yeter" and means "and a remainder." OT:3499 yether (yeh'-ther); from OT:3498; properly, an overhanging, i.e. (by implication) an excess, superiority, remainder; also a small rope (as hanging free)...

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, daq. You're straining at that gnat, bro'! The two words are not the same; they're not even from the same root words! Be careful gulping down that camel!

    Christ will come again

    Shalom, dragonfly. And yet, for all the work that obviously went into this article, Ezel or 'Aazel in transliterated Hebrew (from 1 Samu'el 20:19) is still not the same word as 'Aatsal in Zechariah 14:5. The former is spelled alef-zayin-lamed while the latter is spelled alef-tsadday-lamed. It's...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Purity. Initially, before the Messiah arrives, the Goyim (Gentiles) will be attempting to take possession of the Land, particularly Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). I have a suspicion that they will be primarily Islamic countries attempting to drive Isra'el out of the Land, driving them out of...

    ARE THERE STILL PROPHETS AND APOSTLES?

    Shalom, jiggyfly. I can't speak for Eric, but judging from this thread, yeah, knowledge has vanished away! :D

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Purity. The prophecy of Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) is a tough one to follow because much of it was fulfilled in the deportation to Bavel (Babylon) when N'vukhadnetsar (Nebuchadnezzar) was king. This book and its companion book Lamentations are NOT happy books! To the contrary, they are FILLED...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, veteran. No, not at all! Figurative speech is used all the time, even in normal literature, but it ALWAYS takes a backseat to the things which it symbolizes! There are many examples of metaphors and similes and teachable stories and fables even in today's literature, but they always...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Purity. The only hurt and frustration I feel is the pity and frustration I feel for my brothers and sisters in the Messiah who are stuck in this mode of thinking! It's a TERRIBLE SHAME that this twisted thinking has been perpetrated for the better part of two millennia! And, btw...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, dragonfly. Well, the truth is that Daq doesn't have that great of a handle on what I believe, either. He THINKS he does, but that's as far as it goes. You fail to understand that it is not a battle between the spirit and the flesh. It's a battle between the WORKS of the spirit and the...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, David. So very true. I'm not going to put up with it any longer. They drag me through the mud purely because I accept the Scriptures at face value?! THEY ARE WRONG TO ALLEGORIZE THE SCRIPTURES AWAY LIKE THEY WERE SO MUCH TRASH! SHALOM, daq! Still nothing but the flesh in the...

    The proper and harmonious interpretation of Romans 11:25 [split from another topic]

    Shalom, Purity. Y'know, you CAN talk directly to me instead of talking ABOUT me. I can read your posts just as you can read mine. Y'all are just TOO application-oriented. Not everything in the Scriptures are about some analogy or some parable or some allegory! Figurative language requires a...

    No continuing city?

    Shalom, daq. Granted, I was feeling tired and skipped a few steps. I was talking about the prepositions: NT:507 anoo (an'-o); adverb from NT:473; upward or on the top: KJV - above, brim, high, up. NT:473 anti (an-tee'); a primary particle; opposite, i.e. instead or because of (rarely in...
