Lamar: I find it interesting when you talk about the Holy Spirit as being "in the Bible." In traditional Judaism, the Ruach HaKodesh is understood as an aspect of God's presence or inspiration, not a separate divine person. His breath, His will, His power etc. refers only to YHWH. The New...

Thank you sir. My name is Tom Traylor, Richmond Texas

I appreciate the response, but I don't know who wrote it. Please identify yourself. And to quibble: "a massive body of Jewish literature later rejected by Rome" The educated in Rome prior until about 200 AD were big fans of Judaism. They were educated in Greek Philosophy that provided no...

Tall_Timbers, To what "event" are you referring to?

JohnDB As noted obscure ancient "prophecy" is an open door for discussion and interpretation. Sometimes I wonder if dwelling on these is swatting at gnats and swallowing camels. The core tenets of Christianity have been in some form of debate/warfare since 390 AD. So, i think the new next open...

Genez: I am familiar with the writings and sermons of Robert E Thieme Jr. My dad attended Dallas Baptist Seminary with his father. Like his prodigious father, "Bobby" has continued on his father's work since 2003. Together they have created a library of lessons on the bible numbering in the...

John DB The book of Revelation is apocalyptic literature, while also blending prophetic and epistolary (letter) genres. Thus it is full of imagery. Obviously, it was written to the people of the author's time about events happening and about to happen and things people were fearful might happen...

JohnDB: How much do you know about the Roman attack on Jerusalem? What do you consider the "WHOLE" story?

Tall_Timbers: Any feedback on the example i used?

Thank your for your response. Authorship: How does one determine authorship? For instance Moses is "thought" to have written The Pentateuch. The variously suggested times of Moses is between 1,600 BC and 1,200 BC. But in either dating the hebrew language had not yet evolved the ability to write...

I have heard the promise of "hearing the scriptures accurately taught" all my life but no two Christian groups can agree what is accurately taught. To avoid the "several hours" problem, why not state your preconceptions and dogmas about how to interpret the scriptures accurately. Which Canon...

OMC: It might be a good time to remind you that many of the authors or at least those who bear their names made extensive use of research books mostly during the writing of the various Prophets. This list comes just from reading the books under discussion. The authors themselves list these...

OMC: Many are very satisfied with the 12 chapters. What they meant then and now is in vast disagreement. By the way the "three fold Hebrew Canon is quite different: The Three Categories of the Tanakh (the Jewish Canon) The Torah (תּוֹרָה)Instruction / Law5 Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus...

I did not make the claim, you did. I'm interested in what kind of truth you had in mind.

OMC: OMC: The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox do accept as deuterocanonical but just a sacred at the first 12 chapters of Daniel. The term deuterocanonical means "second canon." It does not mean these books are secondary in authority or importance; rather, it reflects the historical reality...

Genez: Your claim is that the Book of Daniel teaches "truth." Does that mean it teaches accurate/actual history?

It seems to me that understanding the historical settings of biblical narratives can be helpful. For instance: What as happening in the temple scene in Jerusalem where Jesus overturned the tables of the "money changers? And when in Jesus ministry did this event take place?

Genez, Thank you very much. I am in life long pursuit of a relationship and knowledge of the God we serve. As God has no boundaries, neither do it when it comes to deeply learning His ways and Will.
