  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)
  14. here's the uses I see listed 1492 eídō (oida) – properly, to see with physical eyes (cf. Ro 1:11), as it naturally bridges to the metaphorical sense: perceiving ("mentally seeing"). This is akin to the expressions: "I see what You mean"; "I see what you are saying." 1492 /eídō ("seeing that becomes knowing") then is a gateway to grasp spiritual truth (reality) from a physical plane. 1492 (eídō) then is physical seeing (sight) which should be the constant bridge to mental and spiritual seeing (comprehension). ειδω eido {i-do'} or οιδα oida {oy'-da} a root word; TDNT - 5:116, *; v AV - know 282, cannot tell + 3756 8, know how 7, wist 6, misc 19, see 314, behold 16, look 5, perceive 5, vr see 3, vr know 1; 666 1) to see 1a) to perceive with the eyes 1b) to perceive by any of the senses 1c) to perceive, notice, discern, discover 1d) to see 1d1) i.e. to turn the eyes, the mind, the attention to anything 1d2) to pay attention, observe 1d3) to see about something 1d31) i.e. to ascertain what must be done about it 1d4) to inspect, examine 1d5) to look at, behold 1e) to experience any state or condition 1f) to see i.e. have an interview with, to visit 2) to know 2a) to know of anything 2b) to know, i.e. get knowledge of, understand, perceive 2b1) of any fact 2b2) the force and meaning of something which has definite meaning 2b3) to know how, to be skilled in 2c) to have regard for one, cherish, pay attention to (1Th. 5:12)
  15. Hades is written in Greek by taking the word for " seeing / knowing / understanding / perceiving " and using the letter alpha as the negative particle It explains this in the Strong's concordance, iirc
  16. Hades = not knowing darkness = spiritual ignorance Seems clear
  17. Beats me, but this thread makes me think of Amos 5:18 Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light.
  18. If you had all the answers faith would not be required

    The Hebrew word for prophet comes from the Akkadian word for waters Just by that cognate alone, one could have weeks of study
