If you look at the history and prophecies of the Hebrew people, it is they who are torn apart by their own God (Hosea 5). As for the "nations"/Gentiles, well their judgment only comes at the "day of the LORD" (Joel 2:31-3-8), whereas those who sold Israel into slavery, will themselves be sold...
By open what I mean is that people are free to accept my interpretation, reject it, or propose an alternative. In general language, my interpretation is that we are living in the time of the end and that involves coming to terms with a proof of the power of the divine over human affairs.
That's...
I have read your posts. You do explain your beliefs, with a rather radical interpretation of the Bible with your own version condemning everyone who does not believe as you do. Those Christians that disagree with you likewise condemn your interpretations
An interpretation of ancient scripture...
You have apparently not read what I have written with respect to the "Christians" being under the influence of the false prophets, and therefore being numbered among the "wicked"/"lawless" as shown in Matthew 13:24-42. That would include the Muslims, etc. With respect to Martin Luther, his...
You are inverting the order. Judah and Ephraim had become as those who remove a boundary, and the LORD was to crush them in judgment, as in like a lion tearing them to pieces. And then after two days (1 day as a thousand years), two thousand years, "He will heal us". We are now approaching the...
In the Gospel of Thomas it's two ears or two good ears.
"These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded."
Didymus and Thomas both mean twin, i.e "twin-twin". Then there are the two fates of Judas. Understanding the kingdom involves understanding the...
Daniel 12:10 is with respect to the "wicked" will have no understanding. As for the gospel of the "kingdom" (Mt 13:10-14) those without ears to hear, the wicked, will not "understand". As for "knowledge", without "understanding", it is kind of lame. People can memorize the bible and have great...
No, it's faith vs knowledge. James' argument with Paul was a symptom of the broader ideological conflict between those who supported or tolerated Roman influence and those who opposed it.
Fruit is symbolic of outcomes, not works.
False beliefs are not consistent with knowledge.
The time of...
There's more context about the righteous servant in Psalm 35. The false accusations against him relate to the endorsement of Rome, so the iniquity would relate to the Roman church using him as part of their doctrine.
False witnesses did rise up; they laid to my charge [things] that I knew not...
Ezekiel 22 relates to Hosea 6, which draws from the symbol of the lion in Hosea 5. Hosea 6 is referred to twice by the gospels.
[There is] a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and...
The time of the end would correspond with the book becoming readable:
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 5:5
For I [will be] unto Ephraim as a...
The proud man of Habakkuk 2:3 belongs to the time of the end, because he's part of the vision.
The "time of the end" (Daniel) relates to "at the end" (Habakkuk).
Many that "run to and fro" (Daniel) relates to "he may run" (Habakkuk).
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book...
The core argument isn't about what is written, it's about the interpretation of what is written. Fundamentally, your argument is a equivocation fallacy because of your assumption that the Satan of Job is the same as any other Satan.
Your response to my repeated point that Satan is a title, not...
It doesn't matter if YHVH is associated with war. That doesn't make it equivalent with satan. YHVH's wrath isn't satan either. If you want to make a claim which is more than a personal theory, then it needs to be in writing. In scripture.
Thanks for sharing your opinion about Rabbinic...
Evidence of the traditional prejudice of Rabbinical Judaism.
YHWH [is] a man of war: YHWH [is] his name.
Exodus 15:3
YHWH shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies.
Isaiah 42:13
For I [will be]...
The problem with that is that verse 4 does not have נתן in the text, so "to be" refers to Abraham, i.e. Abraham is to be the father.
Firstborn relates to Ephraim, even in the prophetic context of the crucifixion.
They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will...
It's a bit of a stretch to think that the cry of dereliction and pierced hands and feet have anything to do with what was going on during the time that David was king.
The reference to Bashan connects to the lion.
Many bulls have compassed me: strong [bulls] of Bashan have beset me round.
They...
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 5:5
For I [will be] unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, [even] I, will...
Actually not.
Hosea 6:2 is the best match for the validation text for Luke:
Luke 24
46
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Hosea 6
2
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise...
Talk of a sacrificial death in Isaiah 53 is overrated.
Hosea 5
14
For I [will be] unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, [even] I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue [him].
The Messiah was taken away. Being taken away is...
