[QUOTE="Blain, Re: Rev 12:1. This had practical value for those who knew astronomy since scripture tells us that the celestial bodies (stars, moon, planets, etc.) were to be in part for signs and "seasons" (appointed times) (Gen 1:14). However, they were not to be worshipped or used for...

I'm not suggesting that as Christians we're under the Law. Only that these were the scriptures that Jesus had and understood in His day. And so we too ought to understand them to withstand those who would deny or try to undermine them by whatever spirit of the age. para . . . .

The NT came out of the Old. Same God of both. There are those who would undermine both. Jesus said to them, “While I was still with you, I told you that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Books of the Prophets, and in the Psalms had to happen.” Then he helped them understand...

I. Q.? Impossible questions. para . . . .

I think that Hazony wants Christians to be able to defend what's in the Old Testament v certain secular attacks made over it and religious views in general. These scrolls and the targums are what Jesus read. Hazony's a Modern Orthodox Jew. This conservative offshoot of Orthodox Judaism promotes...

Thank you, TabinRivCA. para . . . .

I agree with Gideon300. Gentiles weren't given the Law of Moses which was given by God solely to the Children of Israel by Covenant. There are 613 mitzvot or commands in it derived from Torah. Rather, they were given the Noahide Law. Any Orthodox Rabbi worth their salt can affirm this. The...

JaumeJ- ^ You got that right! Not their best match in the final though. Inter threw the catenaccio (sp) wrench into it with their back 4/5. para . . . .

Okay, so I'm a soccer fan with no apology using the term. Discuss? Anyway. I don't have an issue with the initial post at all. However players express believing in some supernal power greater than themselves for their skills and however much they'd like the outcome to favour their club/team, a...

I'm paralambano. But you can call me para for short. Just one of thousands here. Crickets? para . . . .
