Adding to the thread the classic movie scene of the giving of the Torah. :)
“This weekend is Shavu`ot,...”
This year it starts Tuesday evening 18 minutes before sunset and ends the next evening in Israel 45 minutes after sunset. Outside of Israel it lasts until 45 minutes after sundown on Thursday.

I am aware of that. I believe if you look at that particular post you will see that it is from a previous year (I bump this article every year).
I'm not a Qara'ite.
Alrighty then!
Shavu`ot is this weekend!
Ping to #38 and up thread.
God did not say the Ten Commandments in public because only those ten were of lasting importance. The narrative clearly indicates God was going to continue speaking more commandments in public, but relented because the Children of Israel felt they could not bear it.
Tao Yin, the chosen people brought the original text of the Torah to the present day. With all of the oppositions and obstacles along the way, they could not have done so by themselves. That’s a big deal, too—something to contemplate and cheer.
Everyone gets something good.
Isaiah 56.
Jealousy is a snag to be avoided.
Isaiah 11:13
Today is the 46th day of the counting of the omer! Tonight starts the 47th!
A little BT (ba’al teshuva, not-raised-observant) joke for y’all at my expense, and for all flaming-neshama BT’s and FFBs and BNs (the coolest new acronym for B’nei Noach) everywhere:
One BT asks his friend, “What night of Chanukah is it?”
Friend: “Last night we lit 3 candles...”
Get it?! Oy, too funny... (get it? he doesn’t want to say what night of Chanukah it is since he’s confusing halachot of the Omer count and Chanukah.... tough crowd, tough crowd. Thanks, I’m here all week!)
We should receive the Torah anew in a joyful and meaningful way. Amen.
>>> he had to wear a veil over his face he was so radiant
And that detail was mistranslated for a millennium, as “Moses had yellow horns” coming out of his head.
As a result, almost any depiction of Moses up to the Renaissance shows him with horns on his head:

etc.
It was the pre-incarnate Yeshua, the Logos who spoke to Moses. Remember in the NT Yeshua claimed to be the Great I Am as in Exodus 3?
If I said I were "gxd" incarnate would you believe me just because I said so?
I've never seen such unexamined, irrational, fallacious reasoning . . . except maybe among evolutionists.
Typical unknowable liberal reasoning ...
No. You are the liberal here, arguing for an innovation that was never provided for at Sinai based on the tautology "J*sus is the 'son of god' because he said he was, and because he was the 'son of god,' he could not be in error when he claimed to be the 'son of god.'"
G-d had already spoken at Sinai. Every claim of prophecy or of "new revelation" must be measured by the Torah given at Sinai. No one has the authority to just up and say "I'm the fulfillment of such-and-such a prophecy!" The Sinai judges all and is judged by none. The rest of the Hebrew Bible is only there because it does not contradict the Torah. To accept the Torah on the authority of someone who lived a thousand years later instead of on the fact that it is the one and only time in history that the spiritual and unincarnated G-d actually spoke at once to an entire nation is not to accept it at all.
There's an old conservative saying: "If it's new, it ain't true." Try judging the "new testament" by the Torah instead of the other way around some time . . . if you're capable of doing so.
Do some research. First, find out exactly who you are answering before mouthing off about something you know nothing about.
