Genesis 25:26, tells of Jacob taking possession אחזת of Esau's heel עקב. The key to the narrative, as is almost always the case, found in other parts of the Torah, such that the two other places in the Torah seminal to Genesis 25:26, are Exodus 13:2, where God states that all "womb openers" פטר...
Those are not assumptions, they are my beliefs.
Those are your beliefs, not mine. I believe that there is only one God, who has been described as follows:
“Regard thou the one true God as One Who is apart from, and immeasurably exalted above, all created things. The whole universe reflecteth...
Abarbanel, et al., is disturbed by the strange goings on in Genesis chapter 17. He notes the oddity that Isaac's birth is promised to Abram (in chapter 15), such that the language of Genesis chapter 17 is peculiar in the extreme; it seems to be speaking of a "seed" of Abra-h-am, distinct from...
GOD'S ISRAEL IN THE NEW COVENANT ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES ARE NOW ALL THOSE WHO BELIEVE AND OBEY GOD'S WORD!
According to the scriptures, the name "Israel" is only a name given by God to all those who choose to have faith in His Word. In the new covenant scriptures, I would like to pose that...
Anti-cis clown.
At the link above, an anti-cis clown propounds the glories of being anti-cis. I, on the other hand, am the anti-thesis of the anti-cis clown. I dress like a male, wear my hair short (no earrings, nose-rings, or colored hair), I'm engaged in a long-term heterosexual relationship...
There is neither Jew nor Gentile, there is neither bond nor free, male nor female, for you are all a symbiogenesis in Christ Jesus. . . And if anyone is in Christ, he's a new species: for him, the old things are no more. All of these have become utterly new.

This a speculative question for only Torath Mosheh Jews/Orthodox Jews since it concerns the Christian Apostle Paul. Therefore, there isn't a wrong or right answer to this question. Also, this Christian apostle, at one time was a very pious Torah-following Jew known as Saul of Tarsus. Therefore...
this is a recent article from Jw.org i'd like to share. The Watchtower, being a bible based organisation, uses the bible to answer the question Has Anyone Ever Seen God?
The Bible’s answer
No human has literally seen God. (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18; 1 John 4:12) The Bible says that “God is a...
In Galatians3:28, Paul deconstructs not only gender-duality, or in the context of the previous threads in this series, bi-gendered gender, but he also sneaks in a somewhat theologically disturbing nuance of his deconstruction of gender when he claims that just as the bi-gendered species is on...
There are a number of places in the Christian scriptures where the term, “Son of God” is used to identify a person who is not God.
Angels are called ‘Sons of God”
“the sons of God saw that the daughters of humans were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose.” (Gen 6:2)
“Now there...
This is inspired by the other thread bravely put forward by IndigoChild5559.
Women should keep silent in the assembly?
I believe the conversation must begin with Deuteronomy 11.
[Deu 11:18-20 NIV] 18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind...
How “Faith Alone” changes scripture!
Matt 24:12 he who has “Faith Alone” is saved.
Matt 24:13 he who endures till the end shall be saved.
Matt 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, they are saved by “Faith Alone”.
Matt 28:19
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in...
I believe the Bible and the Bible says that the true heirs of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are the Christians who have become children of Israel through faith in the gospel, they are now kings, priests and even gods. The fleshly Israel who reject the gospel have lost this blessing, they and all...
Paul acknowledged that God gave the Torah to Israel, but that's about where he agreement ends.
Unlike what Paul claims, Torah is not hard to keep.
It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, "Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?" Nor is it beyond...

This is a question thread...
I’ve been doing some reading about the biblical covenants. And I don’t quite understand some of it; indeed I’ve become stuck!
I admit that my understanding is rudimentary :)

Greetings to All:
This thread is dedicated to deliberations on the differences between the Four Baptisms of the New Testament connected to the Two Gospels (link) and Two Churches (link) of the New Testament from previous deliberations. There are three baptisms for the "Gospel of the Kingdom"...
baptism by the one spirit
baptism in the name of the father
baptism in to christ
church doctrine
gospel of the grace of god
gospel of the kingdom
kingdom bride church
laying of hands
mystery body of christ
son and holy spirit
Fact is stranger than fiction.
In 1776, an American Quaker woman named Jemima Wilkinson from Rhode Island suffered a severe illness and came back from a near-death experience as "The Public Universal Friend": a nonbinary evangelist-prophet who shunned both birth name and gendered pronouns...

Jesus is the offspring of David... no question.
The manner in which he is the "root" is that Jesus has been the plan from the beginning. He was promised in Gen. 3:15 as the descendant of the woman (indicating a virgin birth) that would crush the head of the serpent. Jesus was promised to...
