Re: stuck on circumcision...

I would like to see some thought going into this to be honest. There seems to be a lot of quotes from scripture being taken out of context to prove a hasty point. This is something I hoped we were past. The Ezekiel Passage is a prime example - you don't even need to look at the oldest sources to rea...

Re: Parable of the Ten Virgins

(PS: Where is the bride mentioned?) Not been to many weddings huh? lol EDIT: Actually thinking about this more - this could be sort of an off topic about what I have been thinking about recently. Polygamy. My Western Christian brain thinks there must be a bride... but actually these ladies ARE the ...

Re: Parable of the Ten Virgins

Hehe my mum has that book... :) A quick thought before I go away and think some more :) I see the parable of the 10 virgins is a little bit of a badly titled parable. There were 11 virgins, everyone seems focused on the women outside and no one seems to notice the bride walk straight on in. I think ...

Re: Introduce yourself

also - any use of a simple lexicon or concordance can be better than nothing, so although things aren't perfect it's a good start.

Re: stuck on circumcision...

not sure if that is kinda a sticking point - people kinda say if you love Yah you will do it anyway so it dosn't matter because you will get it done etc etc.

I think people need to think about WHO He is asking really, and does that then relate to them.

Re: Introduce yourself

I know James is compiling a translation of already translated sections of YY and translating parts himself. Although, and I am sure he would be the first to admit, he is just kinda starting out and probably needs to redo all the stuff he has already done. Just like TWTY-Admin did when he started out...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

It's not even really about the Gentiles - it's about the fact they are being brought in to do the job FOR the priests. Imagine what that does for the picture - *phone rings* "Hey is that Phil the Gentile? Yea it's The Messiah here - kinda got this job I have to do just outside Jerusalem, thinki...

Re: The Pattern of Everything?

I have to say I have not heard of him either. The idea dosen't seem illogical though - the Tabernacle being, even if he is wrong/crazy on most of his conclusions, a kinda picture or plan for existence almost. Personally without any reading I could see it being a picture of at least the "Eden&qu...

"Just Do It'. Funny thing is one of the options is a muslim Dr in London - would it still count if an Imam did it :shock: Well this is my issue too... If you are going to get snipped coz you need to be to get "in" - you surely have to do it for the right reasons? Can any doctor do it...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

Yes, we spent a few weeks I think discussing and thinking about it. I was actually looking round for places that would do it to see what the options where. I think I would say for the Israeli it is important, as it is their heritage and connects them to the land. It is one of the many physical signs...

Re: stuck on circumcision...

TWTY-Admin, Ju (my wife) and me have talked quite in-depth about this during a Sabbath meeting one Friday evening. That's pretty much what we came up with so far :)

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

who were the Revelation letters to the 7 churches written to and by whom? It was John who wrote Revelation - and the letters were dictated to him by Yahushua. So it was Yahushua speaking to the Called Out assemblies via John. Galatians is really the problem with Christianity, but the bigger problem...
