201 | # of Pharisee-made laws in Jesus' time | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 210421 | ||
Shalom Curious One, There are 613 civil/moral/religious/temple laws from Gen. to Deut. that comprise the "Law." Just about any statement that speaks of doing or not doing is considered a part of the "law." Now the oral law that Messiah was so against was conceived to help prevent anyone from trespassing the actual law, they were called "fences." I don't know how many of those there are, but to give you an idea: there are about 2 pages in the Bible on foods to eat/not eat - today in 2008 there are over 1000 pages written by renowned rabbis about those 2 bible pages - add-ons, if you will. :-) Hope this helps Cheri |

202 | A difficult question | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 210454 | ||
Shalom Child of God, I may be repeating what Makarios has given you. But one way (it will take some work on your part) is to find a prophecy made in the Bible and then finding in an Encyclopedia the fulfillment of it. And keep doing this. There are far too many fulfilled prophecies that are documented as to the time of their writings for the Bible to be anything but from God! This is a study that I plan on doing myself soon, I just haven't started it yet. Sorry. Another way, is check with your local rabbi. It won't matter much to him that you are christian, if you show genuine interest in the Hebrew scriptures. He'll proudly show you the synagogue's Torah and give you many sources to read about the process of copying the Torah over the last several thousand years. Actually, you could have a lot of fun doing this project!! Cheri |

203 | I need blessing | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 210457 | ||
Shalom Zoomzoom, What kind of blessings are you seeking? Breath is a blessing. Another day to bless is a blessing. Do you have food on your table, clothes on your back? Perhaps you're not getting the "Big" blessings because you fail to see the little needful things as blessing? For Bible books to read - you can see that Ruth had a really rough time before her blessing came. Job really had a rough time of it. What about Joseph in the last chapters of Genesis, if anyone had a bad time of it, he did. And then there was Moses, after dealing all those difficult people he didn't even get to enter into the promised land, only to look at it. Jeremiah also had a hard time - people wouldn't listen to him and tried to kill him numerous time. And Paul's life wasn't so wonderful to be wished for. But he considered himself most blessed (check out Acts and most any of his letters.) Cheri |

Shalom again, I just thought of something else, but you do have to use the Bible itself. How long ago did people finally figure out that the earth is round and not flat. Not very long ago, I don't think, yet in Isaiah 40:22 God called the earth a circle!! Hundreds and hundredds of years before the general population and astronomers got it figured out, all they had to do was read Isaiah!! Cheri |

208 | Are old words proper for Scripture? | Bible general Archive 4 | skccab | 210637 | ||
I second that notion!! Huh??? Now, I'm very big into using the actual Hebrew words and names to the best of my ability (or Aramaic where applicable) but once again, huh??? What are YOU talking about? God told Abram "lech l'cha", nothing about singing. :o) And He didn't divulge His name until He spoke with Moses, only names calling on His attributes and character were known prior to Moses. Cheri |

Shalom Keliy You have either the mother or the son mixed up. Rebecca gave birth to Esau (and Jacob). Hagar gave birth to Ishmael, Abram's son. Sarah gave birth to Isaac, AbraHAM's "only" son. By the way, I like your Hebrew name lots. Cheri |

Shalom Corrective, You are absolutely right!! I checked the Hebrew text and it sure is yod hei vav hei. I only sparsely use my Hebrew text cos my vocabulary is so small. Thank you for the correction. I should have checked that first. Lesson learned. :o) Cheri |

Corrective, shalom How about filling out your user profile? It would be very nice if you would. Most of the rest of us have done so. I think God's definite, specific promises and words are quite "significant." Hebrew is a very action-oriented language. (In fact, there are no past or future tenses, it's all present verb related words.) If it wasn't God probably wouldn't bother changing certain peoples names from one thing meaning something specific to something else meaning what he wants that person to portray. Ishmael was born to Abram by Hagar. The promise was made TO Sarai as well, Gen. 17:15-22 to Abram regarding Sarai. (At this time their names are changed, and we see that Abraham wanted The Seed to be Ishmael, and God promised to increase him because he was Abram's son.) But....in Gen. 18:9-15 In Sarah's hearing/presence God once again promises AbraHAM of the birth of Issac. Isaac means laughter, Sarah laughed at the hearing of such news, and God gently chides her for that, then about 9months later she laughed with joy at the birth of this boy. Cheri |

Shalom Corrective I choose to go with the vav for the simple reason being that so far I know of no Hebrew words that have much of a w sound in them, but many that have the v sound. Maybe it's the difference between ashkanasics and sephardics pronounciations (please forgive bad spellings). lol I tend to use sephardic Hebrew. And no I don't know where to find Encyclopedia Judaica online. If you find out, let us know. Cheri |

Shalom jillyanna, That is easy. When the wicked one begins whispering in your ear, you just shout out loud and clear what God has to say about you: 2Co 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is united with the Messiah, he is a new creation — the old has passed; look, what has come is fresh and new! 2Co 5:21 God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God's righteousness." Gal 4:6 Now because you are sons, God has sent forth into our hearts the Spirit of his Son, the Spirit who cries out, "Abba!" (that is, "Dear Father!"). Gal 4:7 So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, also an heir of God through Messiah. 1Co 6:20 for you were bought at a price. So use your bodies to glorify God. 1Co 6:11 Some of you used to do these things. But you have cleansed yourselves, you have been set apart for God, you have come to be counted righteous through the power of the Lord Yeshua(Jesus) the Messiah and the Spirit of our God. 1Co 3:16 Do you not know that you are a Dwelling Place of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? Col 1:27 To them God wanted to make known how great among the Gentiles is the glorious richness of this secret. And the secret is this: the Messiah is united with you people! In that rests your hope of glory! Col 2:10 And it is in union with him that you have been made full — he is the head of every rule and authority. Col 2:11 Also it was in union with him that you were circumcised with a circumcision not done by human hands, but accomplished by stripping away the old nature's control over the body. In this circumcision done by the Messiah, Col 2:12 you were buried along with him by being immersed; and in union with him, you were also raised up along with him by God's faithfulness that worked when he raised Yeshua from the dead. Col 2:13 You were dead because of your sins, that is, because of your "foreskin," your old nature. But God made you alive along with the Messiah by forgiving you all your sins. Eph 2:5 that, even when we were dead because of our acts of disobedience, he brought us to life along with the Messiah — it is by grace that you have been delivered. Eph 2:6 That is, God raised us up with the Messiah Yeshua and seated us with him in heaven, Eph 2:11 Therefore, remember your former state: you Gentiles by birth — called the Uncircumcised by those who, merely because of an operation on their flesh, are called the Circumcised — Eph 2:12 at that time had no Messiah. You were estranged from the national life of Isra'el. You were foreigners to the covenants embodying God's promise. You were in this world without hope and without God. Eph 2:13 But now, you who were once far off have been brought near through the shedding of the Messiah's blood. Eph 2:14 For he himself is our shalom — he has made us both one and has broken down the m'chitzah which divided us [my addition, m’chitzah means separation, and so is used of the Temple wall of partition that separated Jews and Gentiles] Eph 2:15 by destroying in his own body the enmity occasioned by the Torah, with its commands set forth in the form of ordinances. He did this in order to create in union with himself from the two groups a single new humanity and thus make shalom, Eph 4:30 Don't cause grief to God's Holy Spirit, for he has stamped you as his property until the day of final redemption. Mat 5:14 "You are light for the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. (Scriptures cited from CJB and The Scriptures 1998) Stand firm in the conviction of your true salvation Cheri |

Corrective, The point was that the promise of the Redeemer was to be the son of Abraham AND Sarah, that the names were significant - not that anyone laughed. I just added that cos it was in the passages cited. Cheri |
