    Spinoza was a light in a world dominated by ancient tribal religious myths.

    God and Carl Sagan

    Link And it shall come to pass at that time, [that] I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, YHWH will not do good, neither will he do evil. Zephaniah 1:12

    End Times?

    Not knowing the day or hour does Not mean we don't know when the season is ripe - Matthew 24:32-33 The coming 'great tribulation' of Rev. 7:14 does Not have to mean the preaching/teaching will stop. Who knows (?) once the powers in charge turn against religion that might open some people's eyes...

    End Times?

    Looks like I'm not sure either. I can't believe these posts are a year ago, time flies. (Be silent before the face of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is near) . Seems like Zephaniah 1 and 2. Maybe Psalms 37: Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one...

    If Jesus Died...

    The Gibeonites impaled them. The people killed were innocent of any wrongdoing, chosen because they were descendants of Saul. God required their killing as a condition of lifting a famine God had imposed. Human sacrifice, demanded by God. Charming deity that, hey? Screw righteousness...

    If Jesus Died...

    It's good that you do. So who hanged them? Jehovah, or the Gibeonites... and who were the Gibeonites? Gruesome. It's good that you do research as well. The methods of execution fits the norm, of the people in ancient times who were alienated from God. Besides that, execution by God's hands is...

    OT Scriptural validity

    Why regarding Hamas only? A quick perusal of Zephaniah 1 (NIV translation if you are interested) would seem to suggest to me that Zephaniah was nearly as militant towards non-believers as Hamas are. If you are wondering what I have in mind here it is; 'At that time I will search Jerusalem with...

    Religious Prejudice

    Light relates to lamps, oil, and to the candle. Commit thy way unto YHWH; trust also in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Psalms 37:5-6 For the commandment [is] a lamp; and the law [is] light; and...

    Demons - Is There Evidence They Exist?

    On a small scale, it may be hard to tell. On a major scale, and considering - not dismissing the matching events, it's clear. 2 Timothy 3:1-5; Matthew 24:3-14; Revelation 6; Revelation 127-12 etc. Example... [Scientists say] all earthquakes have some affect on Earth's rotation. It's just they...

    What does it mean to be a 'Jew'?

    You asked why. I'm not sure how else to answer except quote the verse and tell you what I think it means using the original language. Does this help? It's the word in the Hebrew which is translated into 'vain'...

    What does it mean to be a 'Jew'?

    You've only restated your assertion. Your interpretation doesn't show any connection between empty and false or between empty and mundane. That problem could be avoided by interpreting the commandment in terms of this verse: And it shall come to pass at that time, [that] I will search...

    For Torath Mosheh Jews Only: Who is Hashem?

    The problem with all of what you have listed falls into the categories. 1. You would need to read the entire text from start to finish. 2. You would need to understand the history of the environment of the time and the author's position and reason for nevuah. 3. You would have to sit down with...

    For Torath Mosheh Jews Only: Who is Hashem?

    Well, at this point I do understand that the Hebrew texts that I cited are written 'figuratively' in a way that Jews/humans can better understand and relate to, however, if you don't mind me asking, what is the purpose of all the scary and violent language in those verses? Zephaniah 1:14-18...

    For Torath Mosheh Jews Only: Who is Hashem?

    Also, just so you know. Prophecies that predict negeative events don't have to happen. They are dependent on the actions of people. Further, it is not all doom and gloom is read the entire texts from start to finish. All of the positive prophecies are required to happen based on the reality...

    For Torath Mosheh Jews Only: Who is Hashem?

    The change that the Tanakh is talking about is one that takes place when the world see Hashem supporing, protecting, etc. an Israel that keeps Torah correctly in the land of Israel. It is not because of something Jew do externally, it is because of the reality that they see happening when...

    For Torath Mosheh Jews Only: Who is Hashem?

    But as far as what I had said in my quote, I have trouble seeing how with the way that many people are on this planet, how a generation of Israelis is going to change the world. Also, what about all the doom and gloom Hebrew text verses (which I had originally planned to start a thread about)...

    Could those angels who rebelled in heaven have received salvation?

    It's not clear? I must be losing my skill. :) ...as though to say, God is love, so nothing else about God matters - his standards of justice, and righteousness do not matter. That's the way it translates to me... true justice - the administration of the law or authority in maintaining what is...

    Could those angels who rebelled in heaven have received salvation?

    I am not following what you mean?

    Could those angels who rebelled in heaven have received salvation?

    Do you think that God's love limits or makes void, God's justice, and righteousness? Matthew 12:31-32; Mark 3:29; Hebrews 6:4-6 I do understand why it is, people tend to separate God's attributes, and make some distinct, or extinct. The Jews had a similar problem. Zephaniah 1:12
