- First I don't teach people!
- I read the Bible and I tell people about what I learn!
- When they ask me questions, I try to answer them!
- When it is possible to have a discussion, we have a discussion!
- If you look at the titles of my threads, I speak about the books of the Bible and especially about the faithful servants of Yah.weh!
- When it is different, it is because many people repeat the same arguments without knowing so I have to show how it works!
- It is necessary to check!
- About John 1:1, it is necessary to check through the Gospel of John about the use of the definite article or not!
- About Jesus' siblings, it is necessary to check the vocabulary used and the context in the different Gospels!
- About the reality of translations, it is necessary to analyze them!
- Before publishing a message, I usually publish the same information connected to the usual mistakes people make!
- Or important facts which must be remembered!

- Remember Eleazar the priest: HE TOOK A SPEAR AND HE KILLED THE ISRAELITE AND THE MIDIANITE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN FRONT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY WERE WEEPING!
- WITH ONE ACTION HE STOPPED THE SCOURGE AGAINST
ISRAEL AND YAH.WEH’S ANGER WENT AWAY!
- WHAT ABOUT US?

- Many people think they read the Bible but when you listen to them, it is clear they don’t read it!
- THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO READ THE BIBLE: TO TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT YOU READ!
- IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES!
- YOU MUST DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEN YOU WILL START TO LEARN ABOUT THE BIBLE!

- In Luke 19, Jesus tells us an interesting illustration about God’s kingdom!
- An important man must go to a distant land to secure kingly power!
- To his ten slaves he gives money to do business with it till he comes back!
- When he comes back, he wants to know what his slaves have done with their business activity!
- According to what they have done he gives them authority over cities!
- BUT ONE SLAVE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING!
- And he takes what he gave to this slave and gives it to the one who did the best job!
- SO THOSE WHO HAVE MORE WILL BE GIVEN!
- BUT THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE!
- What about you?

- Maybe you remember that Yah.weh prevented David from building his temple because he was a soldier and he spent a big part of his life making war!
- Jesus clearly said a Christian can’t do that!
- In fact, everything we hear in the first part of the Bible has nothing but nothing to do with what a Christian must or mustn’t do!
- THUS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE FIRST PART OF THE BIBLE TO JUSTIFY ANY PRACTICE IS TOTALLY WRONG AND HAS NOTHING BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS’ TEACHING!
- I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT IT!

EXODUS 3:15
YAH.WEH THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS – THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB – HAS SENT ME TO YOU.
THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS HOW I AM TO BE REMEMBERED IN EVERY GENERATION IN EVERY GENERATION.

Jesus had siblings :
- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!

Remember:
- It is likely that Matthew (meaning “gift of God”) was the name Jesus gave to Levi after his conversion!
- Matthew was a tax collector!
- He was also called Levi!
- He was rich as a consequence!
- Jesus had dinner at Matthew’s house with many other tax collectors and sinners!
- Jesus explained that he had come to save sinners!
- Matthew didn’t hesitate to leave his wealth and security!

Remember:
- If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
- They used to write differently!
- They used to speak differently!
- They used to think differently!
- They used to act differently!

Remember:
Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are
hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.
This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.
Although yom is commonly rendered as
day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:
- Point of time (a specific day)
- time period of a whole or half a day:
- Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
- Sunrise to sunset
- Sunset to next sunset
- General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
- A year "lived a lot of days"
- Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.
Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.
