Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,20:32)Quote The book of Job was a lesson in depending on G-d. G-d allows His children to be tested and tried so that they will turn to Him. As you can see Job did just that. Right, and in the first or second chapter (can't remember) we have “Satan” speaking to God.What do you make of this?This is what I make of it:…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,20:20)Quote It means that an anointed priest will be cut off from his power, from his people. The Sadduccees controlled the Temple when it was destroyed in 70 CE. They were no more after that. In Israel, when “cutting off” was used regarding a punishment for violation of the Law, it meant a cutting off in death. Some…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,20:17)Quote There is no definite article for moshiach in 9:26 so no reason to translate this as 'THE Messiah'. The moshiach of 9:26 is just an anointed one, likely a priest. Many priests and kings did wicked things in the Jewish scriptures. Which priest? This seems to be a pretty significant prophecy. The Jews used to…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,19:59)Quote Satan and his demons are mythology. So, I assume in your Bible, the word “Satan” which simply means “opposer/resister” means just that.And so in Job, an angel who was a resister was the one speaking with God?Is this what you believe?See a previous post. G-d created all, good and evil. It is part of our free…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,17:41)Quote If you still want to hold on to the idea that it is Jesus remember that being 'cut off' means that the person has been wicked in G-d's sight. Are you saying the Messiah has been “wicked in God's sight”?There is no definite article for moshiach in 9:26 so no reason to translate this as 'THE Messiah'. The…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,17:40)after the sixty-two weeks Mes·si′ah will be cut off, Ok, towshab, what do you think this means?It means that an anointed priest will be cut off from his power, from his people. The Sadduccees controlled the Temple when it was destroyed in 70 CE. They were no more after that.

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,17:36)Quote One large error here that most Christians make. It is NOT 69 weeks, it is 7 weeks and 62 weeks but NOT compounded. The Masoretic text, with its system of vowel points, was prepared in the latter half of the first millennium C.E. Evidently because of their rejection of Jesus Christ as the Messiah, the…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,17:32)Quote At this point stop and think a moment. If the men know of all this then you are saying the chief priests 'know the truth' but refuse to acknowledge it.

Quote (david @ Nov. 02 2007,17:19)Quote Does your satan have a red suit and horns? How about a pitchfork? If a literal satan exists he only does what G-d allows him to do.

Quote (t8 @ Nov. 02 2007,06:51)Quote (Towshab @ Nov. 02 2007,18:21)As to the phrase 'cut off' there is something very important to note. The word used to translate to 'cut off' is 'karath'. If you do a word study of 'karath' when it is used as 'cut off' you will always find that it is a very negative thing because the person has defied G-d and His…[Read more]

Quote (t8 @ Nov. 02 2007,06:43)Towshab. You are bent on getting people to disbelieve the gospels. I ask you, is there one angel in two angels? Or I will put it another way, is there one apple among 2 apples?But you also now know that the gospels are eye witness accounts, or at least Luke is. So if you choose to not believe them, then you are free…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 01 2007,20:24)Quote You've missed some vital points in this. According to Matthew the angel rolled the stone away and sat on it. Mary M. was with the other Mary in Matthew when this happened. So how could she see and hear the angel in Matthew but totally miss this in John?Contradiction 1.I have a question. Does the following…[Read more]

Quote (david @ Nov. 01 2007,20:04)Quote It is worth noting that this prohibition against erasing or defacing Names of God applies only to Names that are written in some kind of permanent form, and recent rabbinical decisions have held that writing on a computer is not a permanent form, thus it is not a violation to type God's Name into a computer…[Read more]
