    What we will examine is if Jesus is the Mashiach which I believe he is then why is his identity not screamed from the rooftop in the Old Testament or Tanakh.I hope our Orthodox Jewish readers will especially take notice of this article. Let us examine some Messianic prophecy in the Old Testament which we…

    I think we have talked before about science and Genesis but I wanted to have anothe discussion on this topic.Today I want to go into big picture thinking and I think where people get caught up in the Bible vs science debate is excessive attention to detail ,often details unproved also.Today I want and overview…

    People like me are often called Biblical literalists and I am and I don’t mind being called that way. What does that mean really, people ask?No one thinks you believe the Bible without some metaphor or poetry at all,no one see’s it that way.So how should a truly saved person read the Bible with 66…

    Here is a link to part one Chapter 13.6 in the Hebrew וְאָמַ֣ר אֵלָ֔יו מָ֧ה הַמַּכּ֛וֹת הָאֵ֖לֶּה בֵּ֣ין יָדֶ֑יךָ וְאָמַ֕ר אֲשֶׁ֥ר הֻכֵּ֖יתִי בֵּ֥ית מְאַֽהֲבָֽי: “And was said to him ,what are these wounds between your hands?And he said,that which I was wounded in the house of my friends.” I think that says it all,that is…

    Just to let you know the verse numbers are different in the Hebrew text than in the King James or ESV or most English translations,so do not be confused.In the original Bible actually there was not chapter or verse,I think the RCC put them in in the 4th century,so don’t worry if it may be…

    This belief is dying but for a long time people thought that it was the voyage of Columbus that taught us the world is round. The second wrong theory which has been known by educated people for many many centuries if not millennia is that ancient Greeks first discovered this. 5th century B.C. In the 5th…

    Then you are asking the wrong question,you want to ask ,”which books excluded from the Bible are ok to read”? Although the Jewish cannon with the exception of smaller traditions ,the mainline Orthodox Jewish canon is uniform.The Christian Canon varies a bit more.The Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches have book in the old Testament…
