Three Questions, Same Answer, with Different Interpretations!

 

This email reveals foundational truths taught by Jesus to his disciples (students) in his original movement. Below are the three questions. 1. “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” It was asked by a lawyer in Matthew 22:34-40. 2. “Which is the first commandment of all?” It was asked by a scribe in Mark 12:28-34. 3. “Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” It was asked by a certain lawyer in Luke 10:25-27.

Jesus Taught People How to Do God’s Will in Hebrew!

 

I have written a great deal about the Creator’s Alliance and Covenant in Genesis 1:1-10. An Alliance is a contract between the Creator and the first two humans (and all of their descendants). Humans are the Creator’s Representatives to all life on earth. They exercise dominion like shepherds over flocks. Jesus taught these things in many places in Matthew, Mark, and Luke.

Be the Family that Does TOV and Survives!

 

The first story in the Bible is loaded with wisdom and instructions for Bible readers to guide their lives.

How will the ADAM function in Elohim’s Kingdom?

 

The ADAM is the only creature in Elohim’s Kingdom that is created with two separate parts that have the ability to choose whether they will cooperate with the other part. In this story, “male” and “female” are spiritual components not “reproductive organs.” Animals have similar reproductive organs, but they do not the spiritual components of “male” and “female.” Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/8121541d94c2/how-will-the-adam-function-in-elohims-kingdom

Some Things You Probably Did Not Know About Humankind

 

The word Elohim is both a plural and a singular noun, like “deer” in English. But a multipart view of God is foreign to a Jewish reader steeped in the idea of one God, indivisible despite the multiplicity of names. I realize, listening only to the name of God and not to whether God is singular or plural, that grammar basically evaporates in translation.

“Elohim Rested” Does Not Mean What Most People Think!

 

The phrase “Elohim rested,” seems to mean that He is going to “kick back” and watch the war. But in the early 20^th century, archaeologists began to translate the writings of the ancient Egyptians, Babylonians, Assyrians, and Persians. This is where the keys to unlock the meaning of “Elohim rested” were found. Elohim clearly did not became a passive bystander.

Hearing to Acquire the Wisdom of the Beginnings of the Torah

 

The first five books of the Christian Bible are called the Torah in Jewish Scriptures. The Torah Scroll was the Wisdom Scroll of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It is a very different type of wisdom from that of other nations. This wisdom comes from awe and reverence. It is a guide for walking on the path of life with the Creator. Remember you are not reading theology or mythology – it is an ancient Hebrew wisdom text. Acquiring wisdom begins with reading these words out loud.
