I have no problem with Revelation and have heard the various interpretations of it....that is a broad spectrum from it occurring during 70 ad siege to flying saucers.

For one I am talking what what they did and how to know that...right or wrong, that is two different religions. The coat or cloak thing was to afford the woman some dignity during the event. As I have said before, I do not believe we should bring Judaism into Christianity....but....there are...

The internet is the least reliable. I grew up with Jews and spend some money on some good books on the topic. The Jews are big on customs and a lot of them still know them.

The thing is that once you start looking at the scriptures at the language level this sort of thing comes up. When you combine the languages with the culture that also reveals some information...like Ruth did not uncover Boaz's feet....She dressed up to meet Boaz alone at night on the threshing...

they called them wise men because they did not like the word Magi. They could not understand why witches were interested in Christ. They did the same thing Christ's mother's name...they did not like the meaning of Miriam.

That is the question, why was it important to them? Tradition remember trinket gifts...the Bible says it was a treasure. No reason to call Jews witches and sorcerers. Could be an interesting thread, like I said they are historical and the Bible was not the only place knew them to be witches and...

Not a hard study. First off the name means what it means. They were the mystics of of Persia...Media....yes Media. The mystic branch of Zoroastrianism..into the sciences of the day and astrology and astronomy...that is why they knew what "the star" was about. Looking for that sign. At the time...

The word Magi means sorcerers and witches...I guess some Jews could ask to get into a group of witches. This religion still exist today. Daniel....please do tell how you came up with that!

The Magi are an historical group. That is funny.

I will agree with you on that....traditions and legends....are all good to consider....but I look closely at them. Just like the story of the Magi....there was a reason they called them wise men instead of Magi in some Bibles.

You are right...I get use to using Christ so I do not get into this topic all the time....Talk to people at their level....

lol My lot in life. And we have not touched on the misinterpretations in other languages. And another point, a lot of the times people get their understanding through tradition....not a good thing.

Your point is valid. At least to an extent. A lot of it goes back to if you believe that the name of God the Father and God the Son has power. The names in the Bible and the sounds of those names. If God is going to say, I know what you mean....then all good....then it does not matter what name...

Hi there HIH

Not the point. Why not call Him Phil? If you do not take the scriptures or God seriously, does it matter?

These people keep saying it was common name...It was not even a word until they put it in the Bible and they were not even smart about it. Yeshua's name was common in the OT, they did not even have enough sense to cover their tracks and go back in the OT and change the name there to. His name...

A lesson of perspectives for the English teacher...You say I am criticizing the Bible. I say I am not only defending the scriptures but also God the Father and God the Son. Their names deserve to be in the Bible. And only one name can be called on for salvation. Who would want to remove that...

There were Jews that changed their Hebrew names to Pagan names in the biblical era....Yeshua was not one of them. It does not take much to see the deception in trying to explain how they come up with Jesus. Any translation that intends to be accurate will go from the native language and go...

And you think I have not seen these lame explanations before. No reason to translate Yeshua through the Greek, the Latin, the Haitian, German....blah blah Yeshua is his name....when his mom called him to dinner it was Yeshua....she never heard the word Jesus unless someone sneezed. Jesus was not...

This is one of my favorite explanations for how they took Christ’s name out of the Bible. The name Jesus is derived from the Hebrew name Yeshua, which is based on the Semetic root, y-š-ʕ (Hebrew: ישע‎), meaning "to deliver; to rescue." Yeshua, and its longer form, Yehoshua, were both in common...
