New Resources

As there is a constant stream of new and valuable resources being put on the internet, I'm dedicating this topic for anyone to post any links to free valuable resources that they have/know of, and I shall also contribute new stuff to it as well. May as well start off with this brand new little goodi...

Re: Saturn worship

Ah. I had just skimmed, and recalled something about Sunday. Made a guess as to exactly what it was, and obviously guessed wrongly! [Edit: It was this that made me think at least one of the documents was defending Sunday: "Too long have Jews and Saturday Sabbatarians looked pityingly or contemp...

Re: Saturn worship

Having had a brief look at these files (sorry - been really busy to have had any more time to look at them), but they appear to me to be basically trying to justify the Christian Sunday being the "Sabbath", and attempting to state that because Saturday is named after the God Saturn, that t...

Re: Audio format

GldChow has been working very hard at trying to put my translations into Audio for people to listen to :) Obviously some of the words don't come across the way they should, but before I can around to recording all 818,839 words, I'm extremely grateful to the work that GldChow has been putting into i...

If you're wondering why you can't see topics or posts, then my guess is that you're not signed in, or you haven't registered and therefore can't sign in anyway. Due to the fact that quite a lot of spammer bots have been trying to join the site since its inception, being unable to see any topics othe...

Re: Acts 20:7: The First Day of the Week, or a Sabbath?

It should also be pointed out that the Greek word for "week" - εβδομάδα/ebdomada - isn't used in Acts 20:7, nor actually anywhere in the RC writings. Probably due to the confusion that took place with εβδομάδα/ebdomada and the Roman's 8-day market week. However, I had completely forgotten ...

Re: Earliest Tanak Texts / Fragments?

Well we have to remember that the DSS were found in caves - so who knows what's been hidden and where. Could be some ceramic pots somewhere in the midst of Yisra'el, older than the DSS, that have just been buried deep in an underground cave or chest just waiting to be discovered. As far as I'm conce...

Re: Earliest Tanak Texts / Fragments?

Whilst I think that the DSS are certainly the largest collection of the Tanakh found in antiquity, IIRC, there are a few older Hebrew, and Greek, fragments going quite far back. Oddly, Wikipedia has a good article on this: http://tinyurl.com/65qhwx2 Apparently the oldest known fragment of the Tanakh...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

Just to reiterate an already exhibited point - I am really having trouble finding anything that separates the Covenant Yahuweh makes with Abraham, of which circumcision was a sign, from having Yisra'el as a land-possession. I came across this in Exodus 6:2-8: God spoke to Moshe and said to him, “I ...

Due to overwhelming pressure (asked by three people >.>) I've created a new sub-category & sub-forum for people :) Keep things civil, and don't get frustrated if you think you're not being listened to. Quite a common occurrence :) Also moved a few topics into it, so if you think I've delete the ...

Re: Can you lose it...

Good point there Noel. If someone really does "lose their trust in Yah", did they ever really trust Him in the first place? However I think we get the concept of "salvation" a bit wrong - salvation is something you more or less receive upon death. It's pretty much the "clinc...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

Nice reply Noel.

Don't know if anyone will listen, but hopefully they will.

Also, expect a fun post from me in a bit about the Hebrew words (yes -plural) that are translated as "foreigner" or "stranger".

We discovered something more enlightening today :)

Re: Finger-likkin Halal in Tescos

So basically, don't buy pre-cooked instant-type meals from Tesco or Sainsbury's.


The fact that we know that this is Halal meat that we're eating, we should definitely avoid eating it at all costs.

Re: Can you lose it...

I don't think it's a case of Yahuweh "taking our salvation away" - but us giving it up. Yes, it's a gift that Yahuweh gives to us, and which He says He will never personally take it away - however, He never mentions that we can't give it back. Just look at what Esau did - he had an inherit...
