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

    Shalom, JB_. No, sir, I am not. You have misunderstood the error to which Paul objected that might be erroneously called "Judaizing." That error is trusting in DEEDS of the flesh to make one acceptable to God rather than trusting in God's declaration of righteousness for the individual through...

    7,000 Year Theory

    Shalom, BiggAndyy. Actually, that not true. C-14 dating only works well up to 5 times it's half-life. Beyond that, there's too much error introduced into the calculations to be of much use. Five times 5,730 years = 28,650 years max, and that's assuming clean, unadulterated samples! (VERY hard...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, Guestman. Isn't it interesting how often one speaks without understanding what they're talking about? YHWH's Name is spelled in Hebrew as Yod-Hei-Vav-Hei. The vowel pointing for how the Name is actually pronounced was never given to these letters when vowel pointing was introduced in...

    7,000 Year Theory

    Shalom, John S. That's fine. I can accept your position ... to a degree. As I said, the Genesis account of Creation is about this earth's land and atmosphere or skies. Either God was not willing to share the rest or it was unimportant for us to know. In either case, it is NOT "factually...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, all. I've been talking with Guy, and I'd like you all to get in on some of this. Shalom, Guy. Somewhat, but be very careful with your generalizations. When the prophetic camera has zoomed in to a particular location, such as Har Tsiown (Mount Zion), be careful with what you can know...

    7,000 Year Theory

    Shalom, John S. You're letting the theory of Evolution influence your thinking. Evolution is simply a theory. The scientists who support such a theory would LIKE to escalate it to a "law," but it cannot be a scientific law because (1) it cannot be observed to occur, and (2) it is not...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, Guy. Yes, and I replied; however, I'm thinking that my reply might do this thread some good. What do you think? If so, feel free to quote it here. Or, I'll do it if you'd rather.

    Is Bible prophecy designed as a parable?

    Shalom, daq. Fooey. It is neither slander nor defamation to call a spade a spade.

    Is Bible prophecy designed as a parable?

    Shalom, ENOCH2010. Boiled down to the essentials, yes, you are understanding daq correctly. Daq is a master of double-talk. Even his "literal" doesn't mean "literal!" _____ Shalom, daq. Daq, ol' buddy, you've got some SERIOUS problems! When you said, "I do not deny that Yeshua already...

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

    Shalom, Chayaal Meshuwchrar. Sorry, but that is a misapplication of the "tares" that Yeshua` mentioned in Matthew 13. This is a parable ABOUT THE KINGDOM, not the current age! Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, Guy. Oh, okay! Based on ALL those passages and more, Yeshua` (who is YHWH'S Mashiach L-Malakh, Anointed To Reign) will return first to Botsrah (Bozrah) in Edowm because He has a "controversy" with the inhabitants of Edowm. This is where He "stomps them like so many grapes in a wine...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, laid renard. LOL! Sorry about that! However, the Scriptures are REPLETE (JAMMED PACK) with such promises to the Isra'elites. That was my point in quoting so much. It may not seem like it to folks like Chayaal Meshuwchrar (veteran), but that doesn't lessen the promises, and that's the...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, Guy. Sure! Happy to oblige! Isaiah 62:1-63:19 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth. 2 And the Gentiles shall see thy...

    Joel 2:32

    Shabbat shalom, Chayaal Meshuwchrar (It's Hebrew for "Released Soldier" aka "Veteran"). That's what I'll call you from now on, okay? After all, when I speak Hebrew, "Chayaal Meshuwchrar" is JUST FINE! Yeshua` ALSO knows how we each THINK and FEEL! "There's nothing quite so sweet as the sound...

    Is Bible prophecy designed as a parable?

    Shalom, Arnie Manitoba. Hmmm... was he indeed "thrown off guard?" Then what was Herod doing killing all the children 2 years old and under in Beit-Lechem (House-of-Bread) of Y'hudah? Why did Yosef and Miryam have to escape with the toddler Yeshua` to Mizrayim (Egypt)? And yet, even in this...

    Is Bible prophecy designed as a parable?

    Shalom, Arnie Manitoba. I don't know a Father who treats His children that way. I believe that He means for all of His children to understand what He had written for them in prophecy. HOWEVER, I also know that we "shoot ourselves in the foot" all too often with the rhetoric of our own...

    The Millenium

    Shalom, John S. Okay. That's fine; we can just agree to disagree. But, just before I let it go, I might add your own post to the mix to give you something to think about. You need not respond. There wasn't any sin in the Garden even AFTER the serpent showed up. There wasn't any sin until Adam...

    The Millenium

    Shalom, John S. No, sir, that's not true. You've been listening to old Flip Wilson, haven't you? He was a personality that appeared on the old Laugh-In show back in the 70s or early 80s on TV. His famous line was, "The devil made me do it!" HaSatan (which means "The Enemy" in Hebrew) is a REAL...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, daq. Regarding "Adonay vs. Adoniy," I know they are technically different in meaning, particularly in how they are used and pronounced. However, if one drops the vowel pointing as in an Isra'eliy newspaper, show me the difference when reading them. The only way one would know which is...

    Joel 2:32

    Shalom, veteran. Bah, that's foolish talk. Listen to "Christ Jesus" or rather "the MESSIAH YESHUA`!" He was also a Jew and an Isra'elite. I agree with you that one shouldn't listen to all the baloney that is taught in the Talmud, but the TRUE doctrines of the Jews, which come from the Tanakh -...
