1 | What is required for Salvation? | John 17:3 | MJH | 140170 | ||
You are mistaken about the Jewish view of Repentance. The Hebrew "shooba" or "ta-shooba" means to "turn back." It was seen by the first century Jewish people of returning back to the Torah. Certainly "seeking the face of God" was a part of this, because that was a part of the Torah. Another way to explain their Eastern way of seeing repentance was to return to God and to "take up the yoke of the Kingdom of God." This was done twice a day in Jesus time by reciting the "Shema." which is, "Hear 'O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord Alone. . ." This is a short note about, but I found long posts often don't get read. :-( You are right; however, that looking at the scriptures through the eyes of the original authors would help a lot. MJH |

2 | What is required for Salvation? | John 17:3 | punk monkey | 140191 | ||
i agree - for me the "turn back" has ment "turn to" - i see the more "mystical" view of the word - which can get weird, i will admit - but the idea is to "trun back and seek the face of God" - not words were required, it's an action that leads - not one leading to :) pax |
