Likewise. It's all primitive tribalism.
“Father, why did God make Gentiles?”
“Son, somebody has to pay retail.”
(Our pastor could use that joke, since he started life Jewish!)
How do you say “Rabbi Ovadia Yosef is a horse’s ass” in Hebrew?
Wow. Anytime I want to know what the Torah really teaches the first place I go to is the "scientific community." No, really. [/sarcasm]
There is NO record of Cain having a twin sister but a twin brother Able which Cain murdered.
You obviously don't know anything about the Oral Tradition, and you wouldn't believe it if your "scientists" told you not to anyway, would you?
Genesis 4:17-23 does indeed give Cain's genealogy, but Genesis 5 gives 'the' Adam's genealogy, and the names are curiously similar but they are not the same.
You're not thinking very deeply, are you?
Genesis 5 gives Adam's descendants through Seth who was born over a hundred years later. Cain's descendants are also descendants of Adam because Cain was Adam's son. See how that works?
There is an opinion that the Na`amah of Genesis 4:22 became Noach's wife. I didn't make that up. Talk to the hand (or your "scientists").
“I’m sick of this Middle East fundamentalist BS.”
So was Titus Flavius Vespasianus.
Wow. You're an Evangelical Protestant but you subject the Bible to the word of the "scientific community." Are there any more like you?
Since the instructions for intercalating the Jewish calendar are not written down in the Bible, I guess the calendar by which all the Biblical holidays are dated is "unscriptural" too. After all, everything that Israel needed to know had to be written down in the text, didn't it? Otherwise it would be so unfair to all those Protestants trying to "get saved."
Been hitting the Sabbath wine a bit too much before services, Rabbi?
Moses penned Genesis and etc., long before flesh man discovered DNA and what information it contains... All the 'scientific community' did was to verify that Moses was inspired to put into the WORD.
I don't do or take polls on how many more there are like me, but you sure do ask a curious question? What do you care IF there are more like me.... The Heavenly Father is in control and He allows and even foretold what would take place and we are right on cue. Psalms 22 come to mind as to what some would say to fulfill Scripture...
Your ridicule exposes your tradition. As far as GOD's calender He set the sun to know the seasons.
Questions about the jubilee year are part of Shemitta. The FR expert on that is Carrie Okie who happens to have an internet book called Shemitta: For The Land Is Mine.
As it happens one of Israel’s top scholars on that part of the Old testament did discuss the book with the author in detail. Rav Moore’s comment “fascinating” - repeated many times.
Google it, you will like it.
PS Rav Moore would be totally underwhelmed with the “Rabbinical theory” advanced by Rabbi Yovadia Yosef.
“Google it, you will like it.”
Thank you - I will indeed check it out.
Actually, I did not post this article into Front Page news, and I have no idea why it is there. Some other poster must have added it.
Dozens of articles on this topic come up, on any news search about Judaism and religious debates - one does not have to look, it flies up at you.
‘Wow. You’re an Evangelical Protestant but you subject the Bible to the word of the “scientific community.” Are there any more like you?’
Many. The many of the Protestant reformers were great champions of logic and scientific method. Sometimes to excess, but more often to great effect.
He could always work in the Obama administration.
“Vespasianus was scum”
Autocrats tend to be. But Vespasianus did happen to be among the more militarily competent ones. Certainly more so than Antiochus Epiphanes. Or perhaps some other factor was at work.
With rabbis like this who needs imams?
