@Berean,

What is the meaning behind Isa 56:1-8? You always post a passage without explanation, as if the simple reading of it is explanatory. Why is G-d talking about the Sabbath and connecting back to the foreigner and the eunuch?

You have found an interesting passage, but the meaning goes way beyond what you seem to be suggesting it says (once…[Read more]

@Berean,

The seventh-day Sabbath was instituted at Creation for all humanity, not for a single nation.

Did you not read my last sentence of my last post? I explicitly said to follow G-d’s example of resting and your body will thank you for it. Did comprehension fail you at that moment or did you not read all that I wrote? I’ve asked you in the pas…[Read more]

The Sabbath day is once again the topic of discussion and the claim by some of not observing it sinful. YAWN!!!! Please note that this particular religious organization primarily quotes from the Jewish bible to support their doctrine, but the Tanakh was given to Israel and NOT the world!!

I find it interesting the above Sabbath observer quotes…[Read more]

A another thought concerning Revelation being written before the Temple destruction, did the Jesus, as he said, come “soon”? Did those who put him to death see his return? The answer is an emphatic NO!! Since the Jesus didn’t do as he said, it would make him a false “prophet” according to Moses in Deut 18:20-22 saying a false prophet is one who’s…[Read more]

@Berean,

Are you really this obtuse?!?!? The “my people” isn’t a reference to Israel and Isaiah isn’t the “speaker” in this part; it’s a reference to the nations.

When are you going to identify who is speaking where?? Once you do that, your muddy water will suddenly become clear.

@Keith,

Why do I say Revelation was written before the destruction of the Temple, the words written place it before its destruction.

Rev 1:7 (Look! He is returning with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all the tribes on the earth will mourn because of him. This will certainly come to pass! Amen.)

Even…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

It means something, and it is far more likely to relate to the fulfilment of prophecy than to be a random verse with no real significance.

In your next post concerning Ps 22; what is the prophetic correlation to the Jesus of David lamenting over being surrounded by his enemies and speaking of what they will do to him if he is caught?…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

You as do others seem to think that God should have spelled everything out so clearly, that even the enemies of God could have understood it and therefore, not fulfill it.

You keep returning to this idea; now explain Amos 3:7, “Certainly the sovereign LORD does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the p…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

Where do I begin?!?!? You aren’t connecting the dots. IF you were willing to engage in an actual conversation, it would be wonderful; then we could have a back and forth, asking and answering questions, and explaining our thoughts. What I’ve been finding out, for the christian at least, it’s one sided; it’s what is believed by them…[Read more]

@Berean,

(IBA)

Your “devotional” is another fine example of parachute theology; I found a verse I like, it sounds like what I believe, and will then apply it to my belief system as proof.

You quote Mal 4:1-3, did you read the next verse??? “Remember the law of my servant Moses, to whom at Horeb I gave rules and regulations for all Israel to ob…[Read more]

@Berean,

(aka I’ll Believe Anything),

Did you just “back down”?? YUP!! You sure did!!

You really need to explain the “millennial reign” because at the end Satan is to be released and deceive many; the question is why didn’t the king Jesus let everyone know this was going to happen and prepare them for this? What happened to the NT bible, did i…[Read more]

@Berean,

(aka I’ll Believe Anything),

So now you’re backing down when it comes to Cain and Abel!?
Why is that?

Backing down?!?!?! You have yet to explain anything and constantly shift topics!! You are the definition of “backing down”!! When you can’t explain why you believe what you believe or support your beliefs with G-d’s words (the Tanakh…[Read more]

@Berean,

Where did the Cain and Abel thing come from?!?!? Talk about random!! By the way, we’ve been over this before; do you not remember?? I asked you what it meant and you couldn’t tell me! Such “strong” beliefs you have when you can’t support what you believe; we call that being gullible.

You understand Psalm 22 is poetry…right!! So the ev…[Read more]

@Danny,

You’ve mentioned I John 2:23 twice now, what is your point? We have truth because some NT writer said by denying the “son” one automatically denies the Father? Since the Jesus isn’t The Messiah (unless you can prove he is – beliefs don’t count, evidence does) and I turn my attention to G-d alone, what need do I have of the Jesus?

W…[Read more]

@Berean,

CONTEXT IS EVERYTHING!!

Go ahead, explain what happened with David’s clothes when we shared them.

“When we shared them”, say what???

15 The roof of my mouth is as dry as a piece of pottery; my tongue sticks to my gums. You set me in the dust of death. 16 Yes, wild dogs surround me – a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they…[Read more]

@Berean,

Blah, blah, blah; the Psalm is about David NOT the Jesus. You believe a lie!

More Parachute theology, drop in on a passage that one thinks is about the Jesus because is sounds like the Jesus. Read the entire chapter and place that single verse into the context it was written and there will be no the Jesus. Besides, Ps 22 isn’t M…[Read more]

@Proclaimer,

although mōtāw is grammatically plural, it does not necessarily mean the servant literally died several deaths

You are assuming the servant is a singular individual. In that case of course one can only die a single physical death; however, this isn’t about an individual; it’s about a nation – Israel. You then bring in ancient…[Read more]

@Berean,

Ps 22 is a Psalm by David, about David; how do you get the Jesus out of that? Oh vs16 of the king Jimmy sounds like the Jesus so it must be! More parachute theology…

“For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.”

What the Hebrew translated says, “For dogs have surro…[Read more]

@Berean,

Who is the “he”, who is the “our”?

If you can’t identify who these pronouns are, why do you believe what you believe?

Still waiting for how the Jesus fulfilled Isa 53 when he wasn’t “innocent”; he was violent, deceitful, was desired, and he wasn’t so hideous that people avoided him. I have given the passages proving the person descri…[Read more]

@Danny,

Not worried, the Jesus didn’t fulfill what was prophesied about The Messiah. Unless you can prove he did.

Did you read Amos 3:7? “Certainly the sovereign LORD does nothing without first revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.” Where is it prophesied in the Tanakh The Messiah was to die for the sins of mankind, be buried and…[Read more]
