And what is imperative to remember is that the "rebuke them sharply" passage doesn't mean to sit around laughing at them and making fun of their intellects and character on public forums such as radio.

But in Titus it says " Titus 1:13... Therefore rebuke them sharply that they may be sound in the faith ..." and in Ephesians it says " Ephesians 5:11-13: Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." These "duos" have choices like we do, if they choose to ignore Y'shua as the Messiah that's their prerogative but it doesn't mean that for those who believed in Y'shua will just close their eyes and do nothing. I think Rav Shaul made the points on those verses so that we will keep our "shield" up all the time so that we will not be deceived. <br />Shalom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-22080955707956565592014-12-15T11:52:48.345-08:002014-12-15T11:52:48.345-08:00Well, while not intended as a "historically c...Well, while not intended as a "historically complete" comment, it is a rather generalized statement that the Masoretic Text, while assumed authoritative (no argument), is actually a compilation of many texts taking its present form roughly in the 7th to 11th century CE, while the LXX is from about the 2nd century BCE. Many have shown the Masoretic origins are from many sources, including the LXX.Liamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00281049645175102119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5193745359560427451.post-70544596769320319412014-12-15T11:09:24.904-08:002014-12-15T11:09:24.904-08:00"Er, yeah, good question, Rabbi Skobac!

And then people wonder why atheism is such a growing problem?<br /><br />When I was studying various religions on my own leisure I realized just how loving God is. God is love and even when Christ came here He did not berate people or sit up on talk shows and Internet websites (I know they did not exist but let us imagine they did ;-)) sniggering like a bunch of catty school girls about people. I don't care how much you may disagree with a person or persons - if you are a child of GOD and read His Torah/commandments NOWHERE does He say 'thou shalt condescend and criticize others'! I'm not a political person at all, but this situation reminds me of the time I was surfing my grandfather's radio and stumbled on a 'Christian' station. This was when Obama was first running for president. I was appalled and deeply offended that these people who are constantly talking sappy religion marshmallow fluff would be so quick to laugh like little demons about a man whom they had never met and would likely never meet. I was waiting for them to say 'lynch this stupid negro' at the rate they were going!<br /><br />These people need prayer! God is not a God of hate and trite opinions!

Better yet, take that list and compare it to any of those men whom have already been "claimed" as the Jewish Messiah and see for yourself if any of them pass the muster!"<br /><br />(And we included a link to the Wiki article on the number of "Jewish Messiah claimants" - the number is staggering - yet only Yeshua, whom they deny, meets so many prophecies, which they also deny.)

To me, they have "blasphemed the Holy Spirit" which the only unforgivable sin.

It reminds me of the Pharisees and saducees during the time of Y'shua on earth to where they tried to disproved Him as the Messiah like what they're doing today. We'll the good news is He is coming back but the sad news is are the "duos" willing to repent and recognize the Messiah? Let's include these souls in our prayer.

It's not just in traditional Judaism that we see this lack of respect and restraint, but also in Christianity and in Messianic/Hebrew Roots. Everyone believes themselves to be a Bible scholar and for some reason they are absolutely driven to behave like Neanderthals in hopes of "proving" their points. If that means assassinating someone's character and belittling their intellect, then so be it, as far as those types are concerned! Yes, I just never cease to be amazed....Carmenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998146626031186940noreply@blogger.com
