IMO other than what has been described in Daniel I don't think we could know for sure who spoke to Daniel. As far as what or who Michael the Archangel and even Gabriel are for that matter and their role in Judaism is concerned that may have more to do with folklore and Babylonian influence than...

Another way to think about the commandments is like this. We have a King who has given us a land to dwell in. With that privilege comes fundamental laws and principles by which this land will be governed i.e. a constitution. If one disregards the Kings law they will most likely not be...

It is possible his children were not killed but held captive while a number of messengers were sent to inform Job of the terrible things which supposedly happened.

Farouk I couldn't agree with you more, salvation is attained through faith and not of my works. But I suspect I have a much different definition of 'faith' than you do. You see the Hebrew word for faith is from the Hebrew root aman ad is the word emunah which means, something or someone that...

Who or what is satan? satan in hebrew simply means an 'adversary'. Throughout Tanach you have angelic satans (adversaries) agents of God who in the strictest obedience carry out His will and human satans (adversaries) like David the messiah could have been towards the Philistines. Heck one...

This thread made me think of this This apocryphal tale attributed to the Renaissance scientist Sir Francis Bacon illustrates the conflict between tradition and truth: In the year of our Lord 1432, there arose a grievous quarrel among the brethren over the number of teeth in the mouth of a...

I think we are all born with an inclination to do good and an inclination to do evil in other words free will. Either one we are capable of excelling at even at a young age. Like God told Cain: If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its...

My condolences to you and your family. I have heard some say we are humans having a spiritual experience. I tend to think we are spiritual beings having a human experience. What ever the case I do believe there is more to life than this mortal body we are assigned today. There are...

Well, let me help you with your curious non-response to what I wrote above. Here's what God said via Isaiah I am Yehovah; that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to carved idols. Here its is in the original Hebrew אני יהוה הוא שמי וכבודי לאחר לא-אתן ותהלתי...

Ryan, Know therefore that Yehovah your God, he is God, the faithful God, which keeps covenant and mercy with those who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations; And repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will...

Not exactly a 'religious' album but I likes Seasick Steve -"Thats All" Pretty good blues man IMHO

There's where I see a problem. Regardless of what John Gill, Mathew Henry or any other commentator says I can and do look at God as "Avi". And on top of that, all without having to believe in a human sacrifice. He calls me one of His children and told me to call Him Father.

Father in a creator sense? From my point of view, that is a child's or a son's point of view that Creator is my Father. I don't believe for a moment I have to put my trust in a human sacrifice in order to know that my Creator and God, is also my redeemer and my Father. There is no Father but...

So when Jews prayed to 'Our Father" they really weren't addressing him as Avinue but just thought of him as this far and away impersonal God? How many definitions of Father are there? Isaiah who prayed: Look down from heaven... for you are our Father though Abraham does not know us and...

Israel didn't use a calculated calendar. They used an observed calendar.

Woohoo! Amen praise the lord. But how do you reconcile that against the very words Jesus himself spoke in the very books you hold so dear? This will probably be my last post here because of its accusatory nature. But some of you deserve to be accused and called out. I find it appalling...

Isolation? I can assure you I don not live in isolation. I am well aware of the world around me, all I said was, that I do not personally know any homosexuals, witches or adulterers. As for Galations 3:23-24 Im not sure if that was in response to my question concerning Yeshua's answer to the...

I'm 51 just moved to a small town on the Eastern Shore of MD and don't have a list of everyones sins yet, but then again neither am I looking for one so I can throw rocks at them. I want to live in peace with my neighbors not as some hypocritical zealot. If someone has sinned in this land I...

To be honest, I don't personally know of any witches, homosexuals or adulterers nor do I have any stones available to throw at them if I did. The thing is when it comes to that sort of stuff and please understand I am not meaning to seem as if I am trying to neglect or cherry pick certain...

Well now you do.
