I should have let YEHUDA handle this but I don’t see him online. Anyway let’s get down.
@ROOTS - THIS I DO agree with that the israelites were wrong. much of THIS is why I disagree with many of the foundations of christianity. for christianity to be what It is it had to abandon judaism. my take is christianity chose to conform with the gentile. and in that conformation adopted many of the "heathen" customs of the gentile. hence you have to be serious about understanding religion to even break the ceiling on what jesus name is, when was he NOT born, when did he NOT die, and what did the bible really say.
the CURRENT version of christianity is NOT based on the early church. Over time "the church" has become more and more apostate. What MANY Jews fail to realize is that JUDAISM was NOT the first "religion" or "faith" that Hebrews had. Nor was AARON (and his order) the first priest (hood).
let me change directions for a sec. you know something? I think I may play by your rules for now on. As much as I dislike bothering with the bible (because it has been such a disappointment to me) I will start grabbing verses to assert my claims. I think this may be alot more fun.
your disappointment comes from confusion and lack of knowledge when it comes to HOW the bible was written. That’s not a "BAD" thing...but it isn’t "GOOD" either.
I will start grabbing verses to assert my claims. I think this may be alot more fun.
if its fun (as in a game) i wont partake in it. if it’s for clarity i will. Now you say this came from your term paper. im going on record to say that you should have received an F. because you did no research at all and YOUR statements have proven it. Now if you CANT answer everything im about to throw you will prove my point.
My assertions: Isaiah 7:14 jesus was not born of a virgin
1.can YOU list the HEBREW and GREEK words for "virgin" and what they mean? if you can do so please do it. if not it shows that YOU dont know what words are being used. if you dont know what words are being used (or how) you cant say what is or what isnt.
2. matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was
espousedto Joseph,
before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
A.) can you list the greek and hebrew words for espoused and list the meanings?
B.)if she was not a virgin why was she found with child of the HOLY GHOST? if she was NOT a virgin WHEN did she loose it?
3.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
A.) can you explain jewish/hebrew culture and what it means to "make her a public example"?
B.) can you explain what it means to "put her away privily"?
4.20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David,
fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
A.) *WHY* is joseph pondering these things?
B.) *WHY* is he told to not fear?
C.) THE ANGEL SAID THE CHILD IS CONCEIVED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
5.24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And
knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son:and he called his name JESUS.
A.) CAN YOU LIST THE HEBREW AND GREEK WORD FOR "KNOW/KNEW".
LETS SEE WHAT MARY HAS TO SAY.
LUKE 1:34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man?
:dead: THAT KILLS YOUR STATEMENT THAT MARY WASNT A VIRGIN.
NOR was the "virgin" in Isaiah prophecying Jesus.
IM GOING TO REFER YOU TO THE TRIBE OF JUDAH AND THE CURSE OF JECHONIAH.
First "virgin" is a wrong interpretation of the word. the original word is alma, which means young woman.
HOW DOES ALMA EXCLUDE HER FROM VIRGINITY? ONCE AGAIN CAN YOU LIST THE HEBREW AND GREEK WORDS FOR VIRGIN?
the woman that was being spoke of was a prophetess and she conceived the child in Isaiah 8:3 and his name was Ma'her-shal'al-hash'-baz
1.THE CHILDREN IN CHAPTER SEVEN AND CHAPTER 8 ARE TWO DIFFERENT CHILDREN.
2.CAN YOU GIVE THE MEANING OF BOTH MA'HER-SHAL'AL-HASH'-BAZ AND IMMANU-EL?
3.ITS IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE PROPHETESS TO BE THE MOTHER OF THE CHILD IN 7:14. THE PROPHERESS IS THE WIFE OF ISAIAH AND SHE BEARS HIM A SON IN 8:3. IF SHE IS AN ALMA HOW CAN SHE BE MARRIED???????? IF SHE IS AN ALMA ***OR*** A VIRGIN HOW COME ISAIAH HAS A SON IN 7:3??????
4. ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH THE 8 STAGES OF JEWISH GROWTH? ITS RELEVENT TO ALMA. IF SO LIST THEM.
read the context of the two chapters thoroughly they have nothing to do with Jesus they had everything to do with THAT time.
ELABORATE ON WHAT IT HAS TO DO WITH. I CANT WAIT TO READ YOUR VIEWS.
Jesus wan't the only begotten son; David was psalms 2.7John 3:16 which has been used to perplex the masses is a verse that BLATANTLY shows that jesus isn't the only begotten
1.PLEASE LIST THE GREEK RENDERING OF JOHN 3:16.
2.COMPARE THE GREEK WITH THE KING JAMES VERSION.
3.WHEN YOU COMPARE THE GREEK WITH THE KJV YOU WILL SEE THAT THEY ARE ***DIFFERENT***. I WOULD TYPE WHAT THE GREEK SAYS (AND PROVE YOU WRONG) BUT I WILL LET YOU ANSWER.
4.PLEASE ELABORATE ON WHAT IT MEANS TO BE THE "ONLY BEGOTTEN".
this is in third person. if he was speaking of himself he would have used first person launguage.
IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FIRST PERSON LANGUAGE. PLEASE LIST THE GREEK RENDERING. THANKS.
my proof starts at psalms 2:2you can follow the context down to the end of the psalm it remains in the same vein.
COMPARE THE GREEK ONLY BEGOTTEN WITH THE HEBREW BEGOTTEN AND YOU WILL HAVE CLARIFICATION.
My emphasis on annointed is because David WAS annointed and David was king
THATS GREAT. IVE ALSO SAID THAT DAVID WAS ANNOINTED (IN OTHER THREADS).
I won't quote all that it's too much but it backs my assertion of david being the annointed.
DAVID IS ANNOINTED. YOUR POINT?
there is another verse where Jesus speaks to the apostles about how solomon couldn't have been the son of man.
1.YESHUA *NEVER* SPOKE ABOUT SOLOMON NOT BEING THE OSN OF MAN.
2.CAN YOU EXPLAIN "SON OF MAN"? PLEASE ELABORATE ON ITS MEANING.
and basically PROVED that David IS "Christ" i.e. the annointed. (I love how translations transliterate definitions i.e. annointed and christ)
THE PROPHECY OF ANOTHER ANNOINTED CAME AFTER DAVIDS ANNOINMENT. WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?
I could go ON and ON verse after verse with everything even jesus himself disclaiming to be equivalent with god. and god saying that Israel was not to worship anything that he hadn't shown them that day in exodus.
ACTUALLY YOU HAVE MENTIONED THESE THINGS IN PAST THREADS. YOU WERE ALSO PROVEN WRONG. YOU MENTIONED THE SNAKE,JESUS SAYING "ONLY GOD IS GOOD" AND WHEN HE SAID THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I. DIG UP SOME PAST THREADS. I GAVE YOU TEH WORDS FOR GREATER AND BROKE DOWN WHAT THEY MEANT,LISTED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR YOU AND WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE SNAKE ETC ETC ETC.
*EVERYTHING* THAT YOU HAVE THROWN AT ME IN REGARDS TO THE BIBLE HAS ***ALWAYS*** BEEN REFUTED WITH SCRIPTURE. NOT ONLY THAT BUT WHEN I REFUTE IT AND LIST TRANSLATIONS AND WORDS YOU REMAIN "SILENT". AN EXAMPLE OF THIS IS JESUS BEING CRUCIFIED COMPARED TO JESUS BEING HUNG ON A TREE.
*EVERYONE*ON THIS BOARD WHO READ THE POSTS
WILL AGREE WITH THAT STATEMENT. REGARDLESS IF THEY *BELIEVE* WHATS IN THE BIBLE OR NOT.
ultimately I am a Jewish sympathist when it comes to christianity because the religion has been raped and misused to promote a constantinian religio-political goverment
YOU DONT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT JEWS, HEBREW CULTURE, JUDAISM OR THE SCRIPTURES.
SO HOW CAN YOU BE A “JEWISH SYMPATHIST”? HOW DO *YOU* KNOW IF ITS BEEN RAPED AND MISUSED WHEN YOU KNOW *NOTHING* OF *EITHER*.
I don't believe the jews are still waiting. some have just forgot that they received there answer. I'm Sure you are familiar with Zionism. I stand firmly behind the position that they have it mostly correct (in philosophy).
WHAT WAS THE ANSWER AND WHEN DID THEY STOP WAITING? NOT ONLY ARE THEY WAITING ON A SIGN BUT THEY STILL WAIT FOR A MESSIAH. THEY WILL GET ONE SOON...
pardon me the verse about the eating of rats and swine wasn't in ezekiel it was in Isaiah 66:17 my bad.
APOSTATE ISRAEL AND GENTILES BEING CALLED.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT IM NOT BASHING YOU NOR AM I ATTACKING YOU PERSONALLY. WHAT I AM ATTACKING IS YOUR LOGIC AND KNOWLEDGE OF HEBREW AND CHRISTIAN DOGMA.
YOU DON’T COMPREHEND CANON AND PSEUDEPIGRAPHICAL TEXT AND YOUR POST PROVED IT. YOUR NEXT POST WILL PROVE IT ALSO AS I CAN GURANTEE THAT YOU *WONT* ANSWER *ALL*THE QUESTIONS POSED TO YOU. IF YOU DO IT WILL BE A FIRST.
HOW COULD SOMEONE WRITE A TERM PAPER (IN REGARDS TO THE BIBLE) AND NOT CONSULT THE HEBREW OR GREEK TEXTS?
WHAT DID YOUR TEACHER GRADE YOU ON? ACTUAL RESEARCH? IF SO YOU NEED A

PS EVERY QUESTION I ASKED IS RELEVENT TO *YOUR* STATEMENTS. HAVE FUN.
