From my research, it is not uncommon for the wife to have her own tent. A wife needs a lot of closet space after all, haha. Anyway, I tend to lean towards the obvious, Noah was drunk and embarrassed and said the wrong thing. Many families are broken apart from careless words. The tongue is a dangerous part of the body.

Good question, everyone that I have listened to from YouTube has asked a similar question as you, “what did Ham do…”  That seems to be a common question because that curse on Ham’s descendants through Canaan seems pretty over the top.

If Jesus was a Jew, what house would you place him?

Unfortunately the Jesus fails on being a member of the tribe of Judah; biologically he isn’t connected to the line of David because the spirit is the one who fathered him (Luke 1:26-35, Matt 1:18). It is of the seed of David the Messiah is to be born of (2 Sam 7:12-17, I Chron 11-14). Lineage is associated with the father and not t…

In Jewish tradition, naming a child was closely tied to the father’s legal role, and biblical examples show that the act of naming was considered a paternal responsibility that established lineage and identity. Joseph named Jesus. Jesus is Joseph’s legal son and therefore Solomon’s lineage in the legal sense. Mary brings the b…[Read more]

If, as you claim, Jesus is a demi-god, half god/half human then, according to your idea, the human side of him would be biologically related to David. Therefore Jesus is a biological descendant of David’s own body even if Jesus was considered a demi-god which I do not agree with. And, being a descendant of David’s own body, he would…[Read more]

To say that Mary’s Son isn’t a biological descendant of David because He didn’t have a biological father isn’t reasonable. The child was to be the seed of the woman and from a virgin.

Hi, I’ve been busy and will be busy for a couple of weeks for the holidays. I just have time for a couple of comments. I believe that the translation of NASB1995 is the most accurate and is what I use. I also believe that Isa 9:6 should be translated as in the NASB1995:

Regarding Jesus’ qualifications for the eternal throne:

Jewish Messianic Criteria
Must be a descendant of David through Solomon (based on 2 Samuel 7 and 1 Chronicles 22).
Must be biologically descended from David, not just legally adopted.

Messianic Jews generally recognize YHWH (the Tetragrammaton) as the name of the God of Israel, whom they worship as the one true God.

Maybe this can help, the translation of the Hebrew into Aramaic before Jesus incarnation shows the substituting of the name YHWH or the pronoun for YHWH, or the word “God”, with “Memra”.

At least you can’t say that the belief of two powers in Heaven held by enough people as a legitimate interpretive framework drawn from biblical texts as early as 560 BCE is a modern interpretation.

Regarding the “two powers in Heaven” it is easier for me to just copy and paste the information from GROK. It saves me quite a lot of time trying to explain. Here it is word for word:

I’m happy to tell you about the Two Powers of God, actually referred to as the “Two Powers of Heaven”.

We can take a slight pause on the Deut 10 :17 after you give me an analogy that is not comparing apples to oranges and shows that you are grasping the pattern. Make it follow this form: the name of a unity of persons = the title or category of each member in the unity.

You ask:

 where does it say the meaning of the Tetragrammaton is the “fullness of G-d” and that it represents each of G-d’s “presences”?

When you understand that YHWH is a name for the fullness of God as well as the name of each presence of God, i.e. Father, Son and Holy Spirit, many things in the Bible become easier to understand. Give it a try, ask the Holy Spirit to illuminate this and open your heart and mind.

I didn’t ask if Satan was the “god” of this world, I asked who the “ruler” of this world is.

Did Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, or any of the prophets require a “mediator”? How about the people of Nineveh, did they have a “mediator” when they cried out to God in a loud voice and where forgiven? When did God become so aloof that man was no longer able to come to him?

Many of your objections can be answered by the biblical fact
that Jesus Christ will come again to start
the thousand-year reign here on this earth.
In this time period many prophecies will be fulfilled.
You never thought about that?

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

You are a liar.
The Suffering Servant pictured in Isaiah 53 is a Sin-bearer.
Only Jesus the Messiah is ‘the Lamb of God Who takes away the sin of the world.’

You: If salvation can be received thru another, give me passages from the Tanakh that support this claim.

Me: We gave you Isaiah 53 many many times now.
No sinful nation could ever fulfill Isaiah 53.
Only God’s Son, Jesus Christ, the sinless Lamb of God could and did.

Try using Biblehub. There you can find good commentaries on every Bible verse.
Anyway, there are no contradictions in the Bible.

The Bible is real, true, and the word of God.

Only the wicked freemasons are trying constantly to separate YHWH from his Son Jesus Christ.
Because they know that we need both of them. John 17:3!!
