The concept that the TaNaKh cannot, or could not, be understood until the end time moshiach comes, or came as a Christian would say, it contrary to the TaNaKh. The TaNaKh declares that it can be understood before that time. It declares that it "is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, 'Who...
Ok. But your OP states, as noted by @SalixIncendium, that you identify as a Pantheist and not as a Panenthiest. You might want to clarify things better.
The Pauline Christian exegesis has a foundation in a "new revelation" through inner "mystery" revelation. For example as espoused by Paul of Tarsus in Ephesians chapter 3 where he wrote in verse 2-5: "Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you...
There is a key difference. The book of Isaiah was written by a Jew, written in the language of the Jews and the exegesis of it being about the collective righteous of Israel was well established prior to the time of Jesus of Nazareth and is in harmony with the rest of Isaiah and the TaNaKh. On...
Shubh Deepavali from Georgetown, Guyana. Here are a few pictures from tonight's parade I thought some of you might enjoy.

Hamas was eliminated in Judea and Samaria by their Fatah rivals. Fatah does not have a inflexible policy that requires the elimination of Israel nor all Jews.
The elimination of Hamas will change the situation in one very important way. Hamas demands the total destruction of the State of Israel and the extermination of all Jews living there. So long as they exist there is a major obstacle of peace. Without them all parts, Arabs and Jews alike, can...
Sounds like Biden can't make up his mind. First he un-freezes Iran's assets, then freezes them again, and now he's sending nuclear submarines to posture against the Iranians. I hope his incompetence doesn't escalate things.
Jewish man dies after confrontation with pro-Palestinian protesters in Thousand Oaks
Other sources say the pro-Palestinian protester hit Mr. Kessler specifically in the back of his head with the megaphone.
I don't have to. Israel allows independent observers to verify their numbers. Hamas does not. Hamas also has a history of mis-reporting such numbers.
What makes you say that?
Hamas doesn't let anyone report freely from Gaza. Israel lets reporters work freely in Israel.
So you say without any...
We were discussing Gaza, not Judea and Samaria, which is the proper name for what you call the "West Bank". Hamas control there, it only controls Gaza. The evidence is clear that Israel has not been operating in Gaza from 2009 until now. And the evidence shows repeated Hamas attacks on Israel...
I don't accept your figures at face value. The 10,000 Gazan death number ultimately comes from Hamas sources. Obviously, they have an agenda. In addition implying moral equivalency between the Gazan deaths and Israeli deaths is incorrect. The Israeli deaths were targeted civilians killed to...
I don't take your source at face value for credibility. But let's say, for the sake of argument, that Israel did some unpleasant things during Operation Cast Lead. Nor has Israel been doing any major operations since 2009. That is over 12 years. In that case it was terribly stupid of Hamas to...
