  1. Have you guys ever looked into the history of Biblical metrology ? Might help with your discussions
  2. There's no laws on the books, we both know it, it's a discretionary action taken against zealots I know for a fact you couldn't cite Israeli law on this because none exists Also, if you didn't have time to look something up, how is it you have time to argue about something ? lol, take care
  3. https://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/2010/148825.htm there is no law against it, here's the full quote: " Proselytizing is legal in the country and missionaries of all religious groups are allowed to proselytize all citizens; however, a 1977 law prohibits any person from offering material benefits as an inducement to conversion. It was also illegal to convert persons under 18 years of age unless one parent were an adherent of the religious group seeking to convert the minor. Despite the legality of proselytism, the government has taken a number of steps that encouraged the perception that proselytizing is against government policy. For example, the MOI has detained individuals suspected of being “missionaries,” and required of such persons bail and a pledge to abstain from missionary activity, in addition to refusing them entry into the country. It maintained denunciations of such activity from antimissionary groups like Yad L'Achim in its border control databases. The MOI has also cited proselytism as a reason to deny student, work, and religious visa extensions, as well as to deny permanent residency petitions. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) promised the Knesset in 1986 to refrain from all proselytism voluntarily in conjunction with receiving a building permit for its Jerusalem Center following protests from the Orthodox community. Some ultra-Orthodox groups that proselytize secular Jews, encouraging them to adopt ultra-Orthodox practices and beliefs, enjoyed government funding. The Ministry of Education funded a special network of schools aimed at promoting Orthodox Judaism to non-Orthodox Jewish children, and funded other organizations that hold similarly motivated activities " " Have you ever read Israels anti missionary laws? " ( You ) and these " anti-missionary laws " are what ?....where ?
  4. you mean this: "Proselytizing is legal in the country and missionaries of all religious groups are allowed to proselytize all citizens; however, a 1977 law prohibits any person from offering material benefits as an inducement to conversion "
  5. I didn't find any laws Israel has against it, just organizations in Israel Did you have a link to an Israeli government website that states this ? What I found is this: "Proselytizing is legal in the country and missionaries of all religious groups are allowed to proselytize all citizens; however, a 1977 law prohibits any person from offering material benefits as an inducement to conversion "
  6. No, will you provide a link of their laws for me to read ?
  7. 6:4 is already said as a daily prayer in Judaism- the Shema
  8. Did you know that for ages, people argued against using lightning rods on church roofs ?
  9. Wow, when do you think he comes to power ?
  10. I like how it says: Dan 9:27 " And he shall confirm the covenant " with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate " Then turns around and says: Dan 11:28 " Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land "
  11. Well...there's 4,000+ years of amazing literature and tradition behind the Bible, much of it online for study It always surprises me how people will accept an extra-biblical source of literature, when it comes to corroborating something in the Bible, like historical accounts of people, places or events, but then they will turn around and claim pre-Biblical literature and traditions are irrelevant when it comes to Bible study For me, personally, the Bible did not start to make any sense until I learned it's foundations
  12. There are traditions in exegesis of texts that were handled by / pertaining to the lines of priest-kings in Mesopotamia that held that certain things were only revealed to certain folks, like the Maggid revealed ( A tutelary spirit ) People who engage in long-winded arguments about things in the Bible may have missed this rather critical truth
  13. I see it says from G1 and G1492, which is what I stated G1 is the Greek letter alpha, it serves as a negative particle when used as a prefix All online concordances say this: hádēs (from 1 /A "not" and idein/eidō, "see") From ἄλφα (G1) (as negative particle) and εἴδω (G1492)
