For I say unto you, that unless your
righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall
in no case enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. This English translation
completely fails to reveal the words that the original Jesus spoke to his
disciples. What does
Elohim, the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth value the most? Continue

People have been arguing about who
Jesus was, what he believed, what he taught, or even if he ever existed, since
24 CE (AD). So, the minute you saw the word “Jesus” your brain connected what
you believe about “Jesus” (your bundles of associations). If you haven’t read
articles I have written about Jesus (Yeshua), I know that you will not
accurately understand this article. Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/f2a2d5f85ba2/correcting-the-translation-of-one-word-can-make-a-big-difference
The
cultures of the Arabs, Phoenicians, Aramaeans, Babylonians, and Assyrians
shared the following. An ordered cosmos focused on the world of the gods.
Organization had been brought to the divine realm through the birth of
deities and assignment of roles in the ordered world. The gods lived
in society with hierarchical structures. Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/1ef2195389c2/this-is-what-makes-the-hebrew-culture-different
Now
I am going to focus on “the bundles of associations” connected to the words in
the Bible. A key skill in working with words is anchoring them to specific
times and places. (1) None of the Bible was originally addressed to you. None
of us was involved in the original communication events as either senders or
receivers. We are, in a sense, third-party intruders and suffer from
third-party perspectives. Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/e81db8972012/increasing-your-accuracy-in-reading-the-bible-part-1
The Alliance is found in one verse of the Bible, Genesis 1:28. It
literally cannot be seen in English translations, but the Hebrew version sets
this Creation Story apart from all other creation stories. The Alliance
is a contract, that God made with the first two subjects of His Kingdom
– the man and woman. All future humans will become subjects of God’s Kingdom
at birth. Make sure you know the Benefits and the Obligations. Continue

In
Genesis 1, “God blessed them” means that God empowered the humans to function
the ways they had been created to function. Fill the earth (with new humans)
means make babies and be parents that teach and mentor the wisdom of this story
to them. By Genesis 7 it was very clear humans were very
fruitful and they multiplied! But in Genesis 9, there was only one family left
on earth! What happened? Continue to read at -

After sending my previous email, “How To Factually Discuss Key Words
in the Bible,” I created an Exploration Guide
for it. This is an upgraded feature of these emails, which provides an option
for readers to actively engage in the subject at a deeper level, and do it as an
individual or as a team of two or more explorers. Continue reading at - http://mailchi.mp/bd4d71ab7ad5/exploration-guide-for-factually-discussing-words-in-the-bible
The
“Bible’s Wisdom of the Beginnings” is recorded in Genesis. It is the
first story in the first book of Christian and Jewish Scriptures. Over 2.5 billion
people (Christians and Jews) consider the words of Genesis sacred and very valuable.
Since over 2.4 billion of these people are Christians, I will present the view
of Jesus about Day Seven. Pay close attention to Hebrew definition of Shalom.
