I guess this now officially a "dead thread".

Over the last five months from the time I originally started thin thread this nation, plus the entire world, has sunk even lower - and at an accelerated rate. The world's progress in political violence, military conflicts, financial crises, moral and spiritual instability seems to have hit a...

LOL I must have run everyone off. It's been a week since the update and no comments. Perhaps that's the best comment of all..

Well, I think I got most of the language problems solved. If not, please let me know., After of all, this was an attempt to collect a bunch of forum posts and put them into a single article, rather than do a complete rewrite. Formatting was changed, fount changes, etc, plus some missing words...

IMPORTANT NOTICE The attached document (in post #200), contains many grammatical errors, a few typos, and "wrong words". Please for give me. I am currently going through that missive and making corrections, I am about half way through my first pass. Please bear with me as I attempt to get it...

What I am really attempting to accomplish is this: To shake a few cages and to get folks to actually study the word of God for themselves, and to biblically question every other teaching they receive, regardless of it source. The method: Too provide some tools that will assist in that regard...

Well, I haven't came close to that goal.

The Net Bibles is one of my favorite, go-to Bibles.

Sorry I missed all of the discussion, so I am just now getting back to address some important posts. The Tanakh I use is the JPS Hebrew/EnglishTanakh 1979 ed. My Hebrew Lexicon is the HDB Hebrew/English Lexicon. For Greek I use the Thayers Greek. Now, Thayers is consider good, but not the "best"...

LOL What mess. The above statement, "So it doesn't nice as I desired ..." Should have read, "So it's not as nice as I desired ..." Think it is time for a break.

Thanks Marks - It worked. Of course the formatting got destroyed. So it doesn't nice as I desired, but the material survived! Oh yes: the grammar problems are all mine. Added comment.

Well, I am most grateful for the folks what found my musing to be of some value. Those who found fault with my stuff, thank you for your input. Now, I have a 69 page compilation of a series of posts I presented on a minister forum some time ago. The posts were on the Instructions/Commandments...

Johann, I understand. I have encountered such thinking before. All one can do is continue on.

Brother Estey, you said, "I think translators do their best to accurately translate the Bible. Certainly they translate it better than I could. The trouble with Bible study, in my view, is that there might be the temptation to let someone else do your thinking for you. That would be a mistake, I...

That was what I was attempting to convey in my original posting, along with some suggestions on how we might approach the future. I am 100% in favor of Bible reading and study, however I also think spending too much of our time discussing the finer points of the Bible should be placed lower on...

Thank you! Point well taken. The reference is to this current age, what ever this age may be. Most prophecies, if not all, has both a current as well as future aspect to them, and future applications ae generally are not recognized until after the fact. Shalom V'Shalom

A very interesting discussion, truly. The problem is that most are stuck in what they have been taught by others (pastors, teachers, family members, etc.), along with selected "proof texts" to shore up their now accepted theological/religious position(s). This problem persists in not only...

I have a few ideas, observations, and suggestions that I would like to share with this forum. Now, I am not some great spiritual leader, something like a latter-day Moses, a prophet the likes Isaiah, a teacher like an Apostle, or even a Bible expert. I am, however, like so many here on this...

The answer to the original question is rather straight forward, i.e. The answer is "no", unless you meet the following two requirements: (1) Are a male member of the tribe of Levi, and (2) are serving in the Temple. There are a number of additional instructions applicable to everyone, as pointed...
