The little “l” is in English.

Are you able to read Hebrew @Verily? If you are, you can easily confirm it by reading the Hebrew yourself. (I’ve already provided it for my readers.) If you aren’t able to read Hebrew, you can still easily confirm it for yourself. Check every occurrence where the Hebrew word occurs and has been...

A little “l” is always a person who isn’t God; a person who is superior to others but always inferior to God. When the word is adoni, the person is not he [who is the God of Israel]. NASB is my workhorse. 195 opportunities to translate adoni correctly. NASB gets it right 194 times; gets it...

I must have misunderstood you. Please accept my apology. The phrase you used - “death it does not exist except death of the body” - threw me. It is common among those who believe human beings are born with (or as) an immortal soul. In their view, death occurs only for the person’s body, not...

It’s very easy to understand why Jesus cannot be a human person in trinitarian theology. (Philip Schaff explains it succinctly in his History of the Christian Church.) I quote their own theologians to them, which is something their clergy should do for them. The most common reaction I receive...

When true trinitarians turn a blind eye to it they are sending a message about its importance, or rather its unimportance. I wouldn’t send that message if I were a trinitarian. When I speak as a Jewish monotheist standing in their shoes, I don’t. The contrast between trinitarianism and Jewish...

I’ve taken a peaceful attitude (Romans 12:18) toward them on the forum; publicly with all and privately with administrators and moderators who have contacted me. The end here may still be the same for both of us.

I had bookmarked this on X / Twitter back in August, intending to ask about it here. I became distracted by other things - on and away from the forum - and forgot all about it. “THIS IS HOW THE VIRGIN MARY DIED ACCORDING TO SAN JUAN DAMASCENO, DOCTOR OF THE CHURCH …”...

Death of the body, not death of the person. According to scripture (1 Timothy 6:16), God alone (the Messiah’s God) inherently possesses immortality. It is something, a gift (Romans 6:23), which he has given to Jesus and will give to others, not to all, in the future. How does that fit with your...

To my surprise, a further word on the matter. An incident from the past nagged at me while I was sleeping. Hebrews 9:27, the death of Mary, and e-martyrdom. A few years I ago I asked a Catholic (on an internet discussion forum which no longer exists) about the death of Mary. The Catholic...

Goodnight. Sleep tight. Don’t let the Bed Bugs bite.

There are no capital letters in Hebrew.

Have you ever noticed the signature at the bottom of my posts?

No.

Christians and non-Christians celebrate and refrain from celebrating Christmas for a variety of reasons. For many it is a stressful time. With that in mind, I offer this:
