Bible Note: Shalom John; You said; The Kaballah does not appear to be one that could stand the test. But it does appear to be the spectacles through which you interpret Scripture. Correct me I'm wrong. Yes, this is correct. There are things within Kabbalah that do not line up with the Bible which we do reject, the Bible is the foundation. You said; If the rabbis were spiritually alive they would not have rejected Jesus. This is very true, but the Kabbalah goes back to the days of Daniel and Ezekiel who were spiritually in tune with God. But also remember that a very large number of Jews excepted Yeshua as the Messiah, it was the small minority of priests and temple officials who, in the dark of night while the masses were sleeping, drug him away to his trials and execution. You said; This business of keeping the Torah smacks of works salvation which Paul labeled anathema (Your translation of "faith" sounds as if faith MEANS works). Can you show me this passage of Pauls? You said; You also have inferred that our bibles are tainted with the particular doctrines of the translators. Perhaps you, a scholar of Hebrew (are'nt you?), could provide us with a PURE translation. I am not a scholar of Hebrew but a student, yes I could translate it, and have done portions, but it would be just as tainted with my beliefs as any other. You cannot remove biasness from any translation as the Hebrew can be translated many different ways. You said; Your doctrines seem to reflect a jewish form of new age gnostisism. I can see how would see that, but I don’t, I see it ias returning to the original beliefs of God. To be honest, we see modern day Christianity as a new age gnostisism :-). Shalom Simchat Torah |
