Deciphering

[jasonc]

Testament is just that of which it is as in being each one who has given testimony relaying to all Jew first that of Gods spoken word before as in the older testaments of our forefathers and what they taught according to Gods spoken word and the newer testaments of those who literally walked with Jesus or after His ascending were anointed by the Holy Spirit to teach both Jew and Gentile.

the word for covenant is in the bible. the torah given at Sinai wasn't a testament but a covanent. the gospel is also a new covenant.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

What are you talking about,your pastor has never taught Daniel, ...evidently you have never read the book of Daniel, or studied ancient history, why don't you try googling "The Feast of Lights."

It will bless you

Karl please do not make assumptions against another brother and let this be a discussion and not a personal attack.

I agree as we see two covenants being made as one being by the law and a newer better one by grace. It's the testimonies of those covenants that we as Abraham are also blessed in out going outs and coming ins as we remain in Gods will. Testament is that I testify by faith which is Christ Jesus that He is who He said He was and is. It's all in how we use the word testament.

why does it. the festival of lights is called channukah. jews don't call it the feastival of lights they say channukah.. same with feast of booths(sukhot) Passover is peshac, purim is still that , and so on.

Now I have to ask what are you talking about?????

I don't understand how you can say this when someone responds to Biblical and historical truth with the assumption it is Catholic?

I you understand Jethro's response then please explain to me what the Book of Daniel has to do with Catholicism, because I don't see the connection?

it was brought up. see the earlier post about Daniel 8. that is very relavant as few churches teach the channukah miracle. most point Daniel to revalation and to matthew 24

 

[Deborah13]

I think he was referring to the Maccabees. They are included in the Catholic Bible but not the Protestant.
What some people do not recognize is that many people, including the founders of the Protestant denominations, read the Maccabees because they are Jewish history.

And that was a hijack of the hijack of the 400 silent years of the OP, ...sorry, I'll bow out.

Maccabees I,II,III are part of the Talmud and also taught as history and should be in the bible as some historical but not inspired context to give to Daniel.just imho josephus as well.

Deborah, thanks for the explanation, I've never read the Catholic Bible, do you mean it is different than mine?

and one other thing dear sister, how do I put "so and so said" in a peach crate before the quote?

Blessings

"Of these books, Tobit, Judith, 1 and 2 Maccabees, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, parts of Esther and parts of Daniel are deuterocanonical, and are usually not found in the Protestant Bible, but are found in the Bibles of Eastern Christianity."

These are all good things to study just as Karl brought up the 400 year gap, but many only look at the literal and never see the Spiritual parts that God wants to reveal to us. It's like the parables and that of Revelations, some parts are literal and some very Spiritual in how God wants to reveal the symbolism to us.

 

[for_his_glory]

I'm talking about what you said in post #37. All I ask is that we stay on topic please as the topic is what is literal and can also be spiritual in knowledge that people miss at times.

 

[for_his_glory]

Maccabees I,II,III are part of the Talmud and also taught as history and should be in the bible as some historical but not inspired context to give to Daniel.just imho josephus as well.

Actually they are included with the Jerusalem Bible that I like to study from for a deeper understanding as all can be important to our understanding the literal compared to the spiritual. I've only scimmed through them, but have never really studied then which I need to do one of these days.

one should pray to see that but its really plain to see what is to be taken as literal or not.

ie stars falling from skies , and the stars in their course fought against sisera

 

[for_his_glory]

I don't know jasonc as I see much as literal, but yet very spiritual at the same time. I guess I look for the spiritual in all things, but yet some things are just literal, but that's just me.
