Re: What is your take on the kindling of fire on the Sabbath

I wouldn't worry too much, Royce. As long as you're not doing your public business (the actual meaning of mâla’kah/"work" in Exodus 20:9-10) then that appears to be the main brunt of the Sabbath injunctions :)

Re: What is your take on the kindling of fire on the Sabbath

Looking at the verse in question (Exodus 35:3), I notice that it comes in the same breath as "Six days shall public business ("work") be done". It's safe to say therefore that if your work requires you to "kindle a fire" as part of your "public business" (read...

Re: What is the oldest version of Leviticus still in existan

Ironically, Royce, two of the oldest manuscripts of the Book of Leviticus are Greek Septuagint Ones - 4QLXXLev a and 4QLXXLev b dating from the 2nd Century BCE (both from among the DSS). There is one manuscript that predates them - 4QExod-Lev f - which as you can see, contains both Exodus and Lev. T...

Re: HellO, i need HeLp!

Hi GldChow,

Unfortunately, I think it's nigh-on impossible to get any "automated" system to pronounce Hebrew words correctly. I'm becoming more and more convinced that the only way to do it, is to actually have someone pronounce it all properly =/

Craig does not have that attitude... which is one of the reasons I respect the man. He strongly encourages every and anyone to study out the Scriptures themselves. He is at times pretty adamant about his personal conclusions and commentary but I've never heard him say, "my renderings of Script...

I presumed that people would read to the end of the comments section, and onto my initial edit of that first post, where I continued the discussion on Psalm 119:127. But you're right, it's my fault that I didn't make that clear. My mistake. That won't be happening again. Regarding Paul/Sha'uwl: Robs...

Re: Paul and Apollonius - Another ridiculous myth being prom

Hilariously, another person has entered the fray on Douglas' video claiming that not only was Paul not real, Paul and Apollonius were both based on Flavius Josephus, the Jewish-Roman Historian who wrote Antiquities of the Jews and The Wars of the Jews (a book about what happened at the fall of Jerus...

He's still posting his lies about Paul and Apollonius on the YouTube video - yet he hasn't returned here to provide evidence of what he's said?

Re: The discussion continues

I wouldn't really care at all if it was just CW's opinion being flouted on his own websites - there's more than enough sites that do that about themselves. But when his "translations" are quoted as if they were 100% accurate, and his commentary on them posted as if he was writing Scripture...

Hello Stephen Hi Noel! :D I think I would be right in saying that in no pre-Constantine renewed covenant accounts are placeholders not used. *re-reads to grasp the double negative* ..yes. All pre-Constantine manuscripts use placeholders. As do, actually, all Greek manuscripts up until the 9th Centu...

Engaging in a discussion on a image posted on Facebook, I ended up getting 'defriended' by two people by the end of it. Unfortunately, Facebook really isn't the best place for discussions to take place (mainly due to the annoyance of comments and having to click on "see more", and the fact...
