I came to the realization this week, while watching a Jon Stewart interview on YouTube, that globalization is de facto, the goal of all people. Continue reading “Globalization, “It’s a Trap!””
I was thinking about the “Liar’s Paradox” this morning when I realized its application to atheism. Essentially the Liar’s Paradox says, “This sentence is false.” However, if it is a lie then the sentence is true! If one says, “This sentence is true,” then it is also a true statement. When taken without context the statement is true either way. The same can be said for atheism. Continue reading “Omniscience of Atheism”
The Gospels contain one of the most misunderstood observations of Christ that has great application to us today and I am referring to the Widow’s Offering at the Temple (Mk 12:41-44; Lk 21:1-4). Continue reading “Widow’s Offering Condemns Minimum Wage”
Christ overheard His disciples arguing about who would be greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven (Mt 18:1-6). I like His disciples because they are just like us today. Arguing about how smart we are, how self-important we are and how holy we are; except, we are not. Continue reading “Millstone Around the Neck Analogy”
At the beginning of Christ’s ministry, He went into the wilderness to be tempted in the flesh as man. The first Adam (man) failed this test, the last Adam could not be Savior if He failed the testing. Continue reading “Worshiping the King (God) of Totalitarianism”
Nothing is more misunderstood in the Bible than Joseph’s coat. The Greek translation of Genesis has several glaring mistranslations which survived in the various English translations made from the Septuagint. These have become “tradition” and converted into stories, movies, and plays all with the same erroneous theme: Continue reading “Understanding True Jewry – Joseph’s Coat of Authority”
Many Christians are under the impression that Jews, especially the “religious” Jews, are strictly bound by the Old Testament Pentateuch; however, this is far from the truth in that most forms of Jewry are governed by the Talmud. Continue reading “Understanding True Jewry – Talmud Education Day in America”
A major problem of Christians evangelizing Jews is understanding the Hebrew Bible. For example, the term “burnt offering”, so common in the English translations, actually means “Ascending Offering”. The Hebrew word holem, translated as burnt offering, means to ascend; in other words, Noah offered up an Ascending Offering to the Lord (Ge 8:20-22). Continue reading “Understanding True Jewry – Ascending Offering”
The tallit or Jewish prayer shawl was commanded by God as a garment to remind the Jews that their salvation lay in prayer to Him rather than by works of the Law (Nu 15:37-40). I draw a direct connection between the Jews and prayer in their victory over the Amalekites (Ex 17:8-16). Continue reading “Understanding True Jewry – Healing Wings”
Without a doubt, the Bible is a Jewish book either directly or indirectly; therefore, a correct understanding of biblical Jewry and historic Jewry is essential to proper hermeneutical interpretation of both the Old and New Testaments. Continue reading “Understanding True Jewry – Their Words”
