PARASHA: “Chukat” (ordinance of)
Numbers 19:1-22:1…………………Judges 11:1-33………………Luke 21:1-38
There are several themes in this Torah study. Number one is the “Red Heifer” This was for members of ‘B’nei Israel” that came into contact with the dead. We need to be reasonable since death was a common experience with Israel, as with all of us, it is part of life, it is the twilight of our existence. If death is our twilight, then our “sunrise” will be in the “World of Come” the “Eternal Heavenly Kingdom. If Yeshua is our Messiah and LORD and Savior, death is just a passage to eternal life with our king, Master, LORD, friend, husband, and Redeemer.
The priest had to sacrifice and burn up completely a cow, converting it to ashes. With this sacrifice there were very important ingredients to be mixed with the ashes; Cedarwood, hyssop, and crimson. So, we now have cow ashes, cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson. These would be mixed with water and this mixture would be applied on a person who had to touch a dead person, (for reason of preparation and burial). After that, the person would be “tahor” (clean) and could re-enter the camp, since the person had to be outside for seven days. It is interesting to note that the priest applying the mixture would be considered “Tamei” (unclean) until the evening! How does this illustrate Yeshua HaMashiach?
We have the animal sacrifice, which always symbolizes our Messiah, then the cedarwood symbolizing the cross of Calvary, HE was our sacrifice for sin and was nailed to a wooden cross. The hyssop reminds us of the first Passover, when lamb’s blood was applied on the doors of the dwellings in Egypt. Without the shedding of blood, there can be no remission of sin. The “crimson stuff” reminds us of the blood, which was shed on cross, His sinless blood was applied to our sins. There was an exchange, our “unrighteousness” for His “righteousness” Just as the priest remained “unclean” until the evening, so our Messiah became “unclean” for those few hours on the cross, because He bore our sins, past, present, and future. Our “uncleanness” was exchanged for “cleanness” through Yeshua.
Chapter 20 deals with the death of Miriam. A leader, some say, can only take so much until tempers explode. He (Moshe) has lost his beloved sister, the people are complaining “again” they want water, understandable, we all need water to live. Adonai understands, and speaks to Moshe “Take Aaron and your staff, go to “The” Rock and speak to it, and it shall bring forth water.” Seems like it was not just any rock, it was “THE” Rock. Oral tradition says that this rock followed the congregation where ever they went and water flowed from “The Rock”
It is interesting that the Hebrew word is not the usual word “Tzur” or “Aven” used for “Rock” or “stone” but the word “Selah” is used, this word means a “large stone or rock fortress or stronghold”. It also means a “rock that contains water.
This “Selah” reminds us of Mashiach who is the “living water”. Also, when we look at the Hebrew spelling of the word “Selah” we can see “Mayim” (water) in the middle of the letters. So, what do we mean by that? Well, let’s spell out the word “Selah” in Hebrew, this word contains three Hebrew letters “Samech (s) Lamed (l) and “Ayin” (ah) let’s look at the middle letters in these words; “saMech” “laMed” and “aYin” we have the letters M+M+Y, and when we rearrange the letters and add the vowels, we get “MaYiM” which is the word “water” in Hebrew. When we add up the number value in Gematria, we get 40+10+40 = 90, “9” points to Yeshua who is “Emet” (The Truth) and “0” is the number of “eternity” because it has no beginning nor end.
In the area of Mt Sinai, in North East Saudi Arabia, one can see a “large strong, rugged Rock” with a crack down the middle of it. It seems like it is at least 30 feet tall. It is believed that “This” is “The Rock” (HaSelah)
Moshe, however, in his anger, did NOT obey the voice of HaShem. Instead, he said to the people;
” Listen you rebels, shall WE get water for you out of this rock?” and then struck the rock TWICE, with his staff. Water still came out, God still had compassion for His people, YET…Moshe and Aaron were in deep trouble! This spill of anger cost Moshe his entrance into the promised land. The ROCK, symbolized YESHUA who is our SOLID ROCK, our FORTRESS! (Selah) who was struck only ONCE, for our sins. He died ONCE, was crucified ONCE! For ALL of our sins, past, present, and future. Moshe misrepresented YHVH, he said, “are WE to get water for you…” The people saw “Moshe and Aaron” so, they probably thought’ ‘Moshe and Aaron got water for us’ Let’s hear it for Moshe and Aaron, nice going guys!” so they got the glory instead of Adonai.
However, we know that Moshe DID enter the promised land, 1500 years later, at the Mt. of Transfiguration
He appeared with Eliyahu, Moshe represented the Torah, and Eliyahu HaNavi” (The Prophets) and of course, Yeshua represented the New Covenant, all three symbolize the “Whole complete WORD of God” with nothing lacking!
Chapter 21 talks about the “fiery serpents” in the desert, that were sent as punishment by God to bite the people who were “again” complaining. (Oi vey, when will they stop already?!) As soon as the people repented, God told Moshe to make a “bronze serpent” and place it on a pole and erect it so that ALL could see. In all places in scripture, the “serpent” symbolizes HaSatan, with exception of this ONE time, this time, the bronze or copper serpent (seraph) symbolizes Yeshua, as he said in John; “As the serpent was lifted up in the desert, so the Son of Man will be lifted up” He was both “lifted up” on the Cross of Calvary, and “lifted up” into the Heavenlies in his ascension.
It is interesting that the word for “fiery serpent” is “Nachash Seraph” probably because on biting a person, the bite burned like fire. The “Seraphim” are angels that are related to “fire”. The Torah tells us that YHVH sent “N’chashim” (serpents) to bite the people. But during this fierce judgment, the people repent and plead to Moshe, “Tell YHVH to take away the “Nachash!” (21:7) in the English and Spanish, the word “serpent” is written in the plural “serpents” but NOT in the original Hebrew, in the Hebrew, the word is singular, “Serpent” this is interesting, why singular” were there not many snakes around biting the people? Yes, but the singular word and phrase, “intercede with YHVH that He remove the “serpent” from us” This points us to the symbolism of “HaSatan” who is “The Serpent” the same that was in the Garden of Eden. The people repent and in a way are saying, “remove Satan from our midst”
This is what happened at Calvary, when our Messiah took upon himself all the “Bites of HaSatan, the “Nachash” to heal us so that we might have eternal life. The image of the beast that caused death was also the source of life! Yeshua became death so that we might have life.
There is also a relationship between the Hebrew words “Mashiach” and “Nachash” in the gematria, “Mashiach” (mem, sheen, yod, chet) and “Nachash” (nun, chet, sheen) both add up to 358! (mem=40, sheen=300, yod=10, chet=8) 40+300+10+8 = 358. “Nachash’ is (nun=50, chet=8, sheen=300) 50+8+300= 358! What does Mashiach give us? 3 (He is part of Elohim) who gives us “grace” (5) for a new “beginning” (8). Also, 3+5+8=16, and 1+6=7, “7” the perfect number of YHVH!
Interesting to note that probably not all the Congregation of Israel could visibly “see” the serpent, being the encampment perhaps 4 or 5 miles square do to the number of people and cattle, so, even “looking in the direction “ of the serpent would have served the purpose of receiving healing from the snake bites (my thought) . Today, our faith is our “healing” to receive salvation through trusting in Yeshua/Jesus who was “lifted up” and bore our sins.
JUDGES 11:1-33
This lesson is about “Yephtah” who was bullied and mistreated by his brothers and was excluded from his father’s inheritance, he ran away and got together with a gang of thugs and became like the “Jessie James gang” However, when trouble started back home, who did the brothers look for? Yes, Yephtah! In spite of the fact that he was mistreated, he didn’t let a negative attitude take control, he returned and became their commander.
Then he “vows and vow” “If you deliver the Ammonites into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house I will offer up to you as a burnt offering” the Israelites won the war, and when Yephtah returned home and his “only daughter came out to greet him”. There are mixed emotions and opinions over this. Some suggest that He DID offer his daughter as a burnt offering, he killed r and burned her body on the altar. BUT… would the Holy GOD of Israel accept this kind of abomination? A human sacrifice? I would say NO! (my opinion)
So, what MIGHT have happened? Some believe that he did “offer up” his daughter, but to serve as a servant in the tabernacle of YHVH, perhaps helping the Levites or something similar. Again, just an idea, but no one knows for sure, we’ll find out the truth in Heaven! Others say that in the original translation, the words were misunderstood, and the phrase, “Whatever comes out of my house to meet me when I return in peace, it shall be the LORD’s and I will offer it up as a burnt offering” was really, “it shall be the LORD’s “OR” I will offer it up as a burnt offering! Which explains why Yephtah might have offered up his daughter to serve in the Tabernacle for all her life, had an animal, like a lamb or a goat had come out, THAT animal would have been offered up as a burnt offering, but again, this is just an idea.
What does this teach us? Be careful of what we “vow” we might end up “swallowing” our words, best not to promise anything, and again, not to hold a grudge against those who have mistreated us, forgive them who have mistreated us.
LUKE 21:1-38
Yeshua talks about the “end times” “Watch out” he warns, things will be getting worse before it gets better. Many think that we will be looking forward to better times, yet Yeshua says just the opposite! Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes, famines, etc., the world is going downhill fast, not only physically, but morality is taking a tailspin downward,
We need to take heed and be faithful, await the coming of Messiah Yeshua, AFTER He returns, the world will enter a thousand-year time of real SHALOM. Yeshua taught all of this in the temple in Yerushalayim and would camp out on the Mt. of Olives during the night. What an interesting life! I think it would have been great to have seen and heard Yeshua in person back then. Yet we can still hear his voice through HIS WORD.

Why Islam’s claim to Abraham creates—not solves—problems.
Raymond Ibrahim
Let’s say you have a grandfather whom you are particularly fond of, and out of the blue, a stranger says: “Hey, that’s my grandpa!” Then—lest you think this stranger is somehow trying to ingratiate himself with you—he adds: “Everything you thought you knew about grandpa is wrong!”
Would that endear this stranger to you? That is the question everyone who believes in the notion of “three Abrahamic Faiths” needs to answer.
Proponents of this view believe that, because Abraham is an important figure in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (especially the former and latter), all three religions share a commonality that should bridge gaps and foster growth between them.
This notion is entrenched in the mainstream of American opinion. At the Huffington Post you can read that “Muhammad clearly rejected elitism and racism and demanded that Muslims see their Abrahamic brothers and sisters as equals before God.”
While visiting Indonesia, former Secretary of State John Kerry beat on a mosque drum while calling Muslims to prayer: “It has been a special honor to visit this remarkable place of worship,” he said afterwards. “We are all bound to one God and the Abrahamic faiths tie us together in love for our fellow man and honor for the same God.”
After a Muslim from an Oklahoma City mosque decapitated a woman, “an official from Washington D.C. flew in to Oklahoma to present a special thank you to the Muslim congregation.” He read them a message from former President Barack Obama: “Your service is a powerful example of the powerful roots of the Abrahamic faiths and how our communities can come together with shared peace with dignity and a sense of justice.” Indeed, Obama has often spoken of “the shared Abrahamic roots of three of the world’s major religions.”
But the question remains: How is one people’s appropriation of another people’s heritage supposed to help the two peoples get along?
Also, those who ascribe to the “three Abrahamic Faiths” theory never mention—or bother to learn—the key problem: Islam does not treat biblical characters the way Christianity does.
Christians accept the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, as it is. They do not add, take away, or distort the accounts of the patriarchs that Jews also rely on. Conversely, while also relying on the figures of the Old and New Testaments— primarily for the weight of antiquity and authority attached to their names—Islam completely recasts them to fit its own agendas.
One need only look to the topic at hand for proof: Abraham.
Jews and Christians focus on different aspects of Abraham—the former see him as their patriarch in the flesh, the latter as their patriarch in faith or in spirit (e.g., Gal 3:6)—but they both rely on the same verbatim account of Abraham found in Genesis.
In the Muslim account, however, not only does Abraham leave his country on God’s promise that he will make him “a great nation” (Genesis 12), but he exemplifies the hate Muslims are obligated to have for non-Muslims: “You have a good example in Abraham and those who followed him,” Allah informs Muslims in Koran 60:4; “for they said to their people, ‘We disown you and the idols that you worship besides Allah. We renounce you: enmity and hate shall reign between us until you believe in Allah alone.’”
In fact, Koran 60:4 is the cornerstone verse that all “radical” Muslims—from al-Qaeda to the Islamic State—cite as proof that all Muslims “must be hostile to the infidel—even if he is liberal and kind to you” (to quote Sheikh Ibn Taymiyya, The Al-Qaeda Reader, p. 84).
Immediately after quoting 60:4, Osama bin Laden wrote:
So there is an enmity, evidenced by fierce hostility, and an internal hate from the heart. And this fierce hostility—that is, battle—ceases only if the infidel submits to the authority of Islam, or if his blood is forbidden from being shed [a dhimmi], or if the Muslims are [at that point in time] weak and incapable [of spreading sharia law to the world]. But if the hate at any time extinguishes from the hearts, this is great apostasy; the one who does this [extinguishes the hate from his heart] will stand excuseless before Allah [p. 43].
Such is the mutilation Abraham has undergone in Islam. Not only is Abraham not a source of commonality between Muslims on the one hand and Jews and Christians on the other; he is the chief figure to justify “enmity and hate ... between us until you believe in Allah alone.”
Islam’s appropriation of Abraham has led to other, more concrete problems, of the sort one can expect when a stranger appears and says that the home you live in was actually bequeathed to him by your supposedly “shared” forefather. Although the Jews claimed the Holy Land as their birthright for at least a millennium before Islam came, Jerusalem is now special to Muslims partially because they also claim Abraham and other biblical figures. As a result, statements like the following from mainline Christian groups such as the Presbyterian Church USA are common:
[PCUSA] strongly condemns the U.S. President’s [Trump’s] decision to single out Jerusalem as a Jewish capital. Jerusalem is the spiritual heart of three Abrahamic faiths …
The Muslim appropriation and mutilation of biblical figures is a source of problems, not sly “be friends”—that does not and never will get it.

From in the beginning, what differences are between the word "Muslim" and "Christian" ?
You wrote: "Muhammad clearly rejected elitism and rasism and demanded that Muslims see their Abrahamic brothers and sisters as equals before God"
Sure ? You are very sure of that ?
According to the history, Muhammad through his followers decapitated millions of men plus women and children, and still is doing today. Before 900 AD those from Islam faith was completely destroyed by the big sword. From where the Catholics took the idea and started their massacres under the "Inquisition" killing and torturing anyone that was not kneeling before their ideology, the same did the Greek Orthodox.
Then you wrote : Christians accepted the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament, as it is
You are very sure about ?
Did you studied to understand John 21:20-23 ?
Take and read Matthew 21:33-41
Did you understood it ?
According with the history, Holy God used the Romans from 72 AD till 135 AD and destroyed the last remains of Israel namely Judea. And a very huge group (few thousands) fled to Greece, and because the Romans was after them, they had to across Black Sea to where is today Georgia, and after few years they stopped where today is west of Belorus and east of Poland. My ancestors was in that group too.
Now, when Holy God destroyed the last remains of Israel, from when the humans in general USA have the authority to fixed ?
What is your answer ?

Emil, in an effort to understand, are you implying that the Bible as we know it has duped us and that Jesus is Satan? Due to mistranslations and such? Are you denying the divinity of Christ? Not accusing you of anything, just trying to understand your point, no disrespect meant. I am not belittling your English, we all come from different places and no language is superior to another, but this is an English only site, and I think we are having a communication breakdown here. It seems to me that your are pointing to the importance of language and history, and that this lack of understanding has fooled us into worshiping Satan or something to that effect. Is that your argument?
Brother, Jesus is not Satan,. BUT the religious use the word Jesus to cover up the name "Satan". When Holy God started to permit idol worship, like the Catholic and Greek Orthodox do ? When ?
Who was the Roman God, not Jupiter and Mercury ? Who was Jupiter not the son of Saturn ?
For that, when the Catholic cult started in 700s AD they changed the name from Jupiter and Mercury to Jesus Christ, and Saturn to Holy Ghost (Spirit), and goddess Minerva to Mary
Then, because of the killings and tortures done by the Catholic cult upon this Earth many started many sects like Lutheran, Calvinism, Baptism, Penticostal, and so on, based on Catholic ideology. The first that started was the Greek Orthodox under emperor Constantine and his brother in-law Licinius in the beginning of 300s AD.
Show me where Holy God, in general through His Son Lord Christ, permit to worship idols, and the death. Please show me.
Then you wrote : ... has fooled us into worshiping Satan or something to that effect.
The answer is YES, because no one take to study and to answer at many questions, like I'm Matthew 15:3; 22:41-46; and so on
Did you found what are the Mark on your hand and on your front head that is in Apocalypse 13:16-18 ?
What is your answer ?
Everyone must been very awake
Then you wrote : Is that your argument ?
YES

It is impossible to have a clear conversation with you.. Because your English is so bad.. Really you did not respond to anything i said in an deep way nor could you because your English is so bad.. May God send someone to you that speaks in your first language and may you listen to the truth of the LORD Jesus Christ..
Brother, do you know what mean the word "SON" ? - or what is SON ?
Read very careful Matthew 1:1, then answer at the question from Matthew 22:45.
I NEVER spoke or wrote in grammar and I will never do. Learn to read and to study.

Well now i know what you are claiming.. You are saying that the LORD we are following is satan... right?
These two verses are often used by those opposed to Christianity and even Judaism to attack and undermine them.. So let me explain if i can this verses..
1) God controls all existence, He is the supreme controller of all existence.. What ever happens in existence God either causes it to happen or allows it to happen..
2) God can use the evil actions of those opposed to Him to further His eternal purpose..
3) In the scriptures satan tempted David to number the population..
4) But could satan do this if God did not allow it to happen ? If God did not allow it to happen and if God did not want it to happen then be assured God would not allow satan to tempt David..
5) Did God allow satan to have access to Job to take things away from him and to cause Job great distress? Yes indeed He did..
6) Why because God wanted to use satan and Job to make a point.. So what satan intended to use for evil.. God used in the end to promote His good will.
7) Just as God allows satan to do things in this world today.. Things that satan wants to do for evil purpose.. But God will use for His purpose..
8 ) As the Bible says: Romans 8: KJV 28 "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose."
9) Did not God allow satan to enter into the garden of Eden to try and tempt and deceive Adam and Eve ? What was satan trying to do,,, He was trying to sabotage Gods creation to force God to destroy mankind.. But what has God used satans evil actions for? To show to the Heavenly Host how He can Redeem His Creation justly and also to show up the faulty evil of satan to the Heavenly Host.. Satans evil intention and actions are used by God for is Good eternal plan.. To both Redeem His creation and defeat the satanic rebellion by demonstration...
10) So yes satan has done in the past and is only allowed to do in the present and future what God allows satan to do.. Remember satan is not allowed to do anything.. satan is under the control of a restrainer.. 2 Thessalonians 2: KJV6 "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. {8} And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: {9} Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"
Now a question... Why do you call me Brother if you think i worship and serve satan? If we are not Brothers in flesh because we do not have the same parents and you consider me to be a follower of satan so you do not think of me as a Brother in religion,, why call me Brother?
Christ is the Greek word for the Hebrew word Messiah or Messiac
John 1: KJV
41 "He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ."
So when we say Jesus Christ we are saying Jesus Messiah..
A Samaritan woman met Jesus as a well near her village and had a discussion with Him during that discussion the following was said::
John 4: KJV
24 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. {26} Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he."
Jesus was not offended that the woman used both terms Messias and Christ.. Remember God created all the languages on earth and thus we can use any language to declare Jesus Messiah .. It does not matter if we say Messiah Jesus or Jesus Messiah,, Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ.. All these are saying the same thing that Jesus is the Redeemer
I have read the entire Bible Emil and have searched it and quoted it almost daily for the last 30 years.. And nothing you have given as problems has caused me any concern..
.
Brother, please do not be upset, but I have to ask : Do you know what mean "to study" or "how to study" ?
You personal have some numbers, like birth certificate number, driving licence number, like here in USA have Social security number, in other parts of this earthly world have identify bulletin number, voting registration number, and so on, plus every year or after few years have the census. Who permit to number the population upon this earth, Holy God or Satan through his disciples (followers), namely through the rich people ? Matthew 19:23,24.
Who brother ?
Then you wrote : 1) God controls all existence ...
That is pure pure day dreams. Because you are from Australia, the government of Australia control your existence, or gave you laws that you have to obey and follow ? The same Holy God direct, or through His servants namely the prophets, and through His Son Lord Christ, gave to us the humans commandments, laws, and teachings how to worship (follow) Him. Matthew 7:21-29;12:50; Luke 6:46;13:25-27; John 14:15,21,23,24; Jeremiah 7:21-24; Exodus 15:26; and so on.
What is the will of Holy God ?
Did you ever, at least read Matthew 5:17-20, to understand it ?
Then, brother, for who are the 10 commandments, the laws from Leviticus chapters 18,19,20, and 21, and the teachings of Lord Christ from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John ? For who ?
How do you love Holy God ? - because you wrote about Romans 8:28 "... to them that love God,..."
What is the purpose of Holy God, to destroy the life upon this earth like Satan's is ?
I look around and I see farmers big and small how every Sunday go at church with Holy Scripture Book on their hands, and the rest of the week take care of tobacco, namely destroying lives upon this earth;. and I see corn that never must been upon this earth. Creeks and rivers poluted with have metals and plastics, and the oceans too. For do not tell what I see on sides of the roads
Brother, stop dreaming in full day and start to find the real teacher and father. You will not find among humans. Matthew 15:8,9; Isaiah 29:13; Ezekiel 33:31,32; and so on.
Then you wrote "... Why do you call me Brother ..."
Through this show very clear how you personal don't follow, don't respect, and don't understand the teachings of Lord Christ from Matthew 23:8,9,10; and don't understand what is a Christian.
Brother, I don't tell you do not read the Holy Scripture Book, but you don't know how to read it, because you read the letters but not the words. You know to read grammar and nothing else. And you take only what you think is beneficiary for you, but not what Holy God want from you.
Because you read the Holy Scripture Book for the last 30 years, did you understood Genesis 10:25 ?
For you to know, what I learned in first two weeks of fifth grade (September 1964) helped me to understand that vers in 1980 when I had for the first time the Holy Scripture Book only for five days. Then in 1988 I had my KJV book, then many other versions and languages.
Take and read Genesis 3:16; 1 Corinthians 11:3-11;14:34,35; Ephesians 5:22-24; 1 Timothy 2:9-15; Titus 2:3-5; 1 Peter 3:1-6; Acts 13:50.
Did you read ?
Because, you read the Holy Scripture Book for 30 years, did you found these laws and asked you self who destroyed them and why ?
Take and read 1 Samuel 8:7,8; Matthew 6:24,33; 7:13,14; Acts 4:19; 5:29.
Did you read ?
Take and read again 1 Samuel 8:7,8.
Then, why you personal don't like to follow (worship) Holy God through His Son Lord Christ? Why brother ?
Because you love more man made ideologies, organizations and governments, namely you love more your traditions (religions), namely earthly materials than Holy God. Matthew 15:3.
Now, because you read the Holy Scripture Book for 30 years, where Holy God permit for the humans to worship idols like do in Catholic Cult and Greek Orthodox Cult ? And from when the Christians use man made weapons to kill each other like in Ireland the Catholics and the Protestants ? Do not put the wars between Catholics and Greek Orthodox.
What is your answer ?
That must been wide open before your eyes. Matthew 26:52; Genesis 9:6; Apocalypse 13:10.
Now, take and read from Romans 1:21-32, and look around you in your society, because all that mess is because of you personal and because of those like you
Because you read the Holy Scripture Book for 30 years, take and read Apocalypse 13:16,17,18.
Who are those marks ?
To be at your knowledge you love them and you worship them every day of your life
Now, again, what Holy God did to be the great flood in time of Noah and how long ago was ?
It is write very clear in Genesis from chapter 1 to the end of chapter 10.
Learn to read.
In your personal information is write "...Interests: Biblical prophesy".
Brother, you don't know to read your name, how do you understand prophesy ? Yes, you read the letters in your name.
My name is Emil what come from Gaul (Celtic) word AMILUS and it's meaning is "THE NAVIGATOR". If you study the German military history you will find, in general in WWI they was calling their navigator "Emil", no matter what name he had. Correct English is Amil"
Racovita, was formed in 950 AD and put to my ancestor Radu who lived in period of 950-1070 AD, and he came from Buda who was called "Bucov" and lived in 300s AD, few miles east from where today is town Lvov in Ukraine. Racovita correct English is ROCOVINE.
THEN, THINK ABOUT.

I think you are making a very big issue over words and definitions..
I do not believe it is a big issue of serious importance..
God knows who i am talking to when i say Father and Jesus and testament and Bible and all the other words contained in the Holy Bible..
Believing in the doctrine that God will only act for you if you use the exact right words is for me the same type of thinking we see in witchraft.. Where the wiccan must say the exact right words in the correct order and do their ceremonies in just the right way for it to work..
Our God is the God of total wisdom and all knowledge and He can without trouble understand the beliefs and intentions of each and every person, no matter if they make a mistake here or there..
God knows who knows Him...
You being a mere mortal without knowledge of everything do not know who knows whom..
Brother, you wrote "I think you are making a very big issue over words and definitions...", and for that you are very wrong, because knowing the meaning and the history of the words you have knowledge, but through this you show how you personal don,t like to study. We the Christians, namely we that follow Lord Christ through His teachings from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, love to study. But the religious people hate to study, but love to follow daydreams.
One, you, and those like you, don't know who is the "Father"; and second, you don't know who you call "God" or "Lord", because you never studied.
Yes brother, I did in my life witchcraft, because in my life I was mechanic (diesel mechanic), plumber, electrician, privet pilot, and few other things.
Do you know what is witchcraft before Holy God ? - or folsprophet ?
Is NOT the order of the words, BUT IS THE MEANING OF THE WORDS and THE HISTORY OF THE WORDS. For that, did you studied 2 Samuel 24:1, and 1 Chronicles 21:1 ? Take and study to find out who you call "Father", "God", or/and "Lord".
Second, you don't know who you call "Jesus Christ", or "Christ", or "Christ the Jesus" ( KJV and other western versions use "Christ Jesus") -. In this time did you answered at Matthew 15:3; and 22:45 ?
Did you studied Matthew 19:21-24; Acts 2:44-46;4:32-35; Apocalypse (Rev.) 13:16,17 ? Did you ?
Yes brother, Holy God have wisdom and the knowledge is at Him, then, why you personal don't have knowledge, but dream in full day ? If you had knowledge, you could understood we the humans cannot worship (follow) Holy God how we want, but we can worship (follow) Holy God ONLY through His Son Lord Christ who was 2000 years ago upon this earth and had the name "Jesus" and raised from death too. (John 3:16,17,18-21)
YES brother, I AM MORTAL. I am over 65 years old, and what is next for me ? Yes, soon or later have to see death. Lord Christ 2000 years ago when had the name "Jesus" saw death and He is the Son of Holy God, but me what am a human ?
Brother, better study, but first find the real teacher. For you know, the real teacher is not among humans. (Matthew 16:1-12;23:13-35)

Brother, in Matthew 23:8 is "But be not yet called Rabbi: ...". Now I will copy from 1869 American Dictionary of the English Language by Noah Webster, LL.D., and is this : Rabbi ... Master; Lord; sir;-- a Jewish title of respect or honor, belonging to a teacher or doctor of the law. Be not yet called Rabbi, for one is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren.
Then, you wrote: So humans should not call other humans father ...
Not only father, but neither, sir, mister, Lord, teacher, and so on human made titles, because in Christianity, we the Christians address at a man "brother" and at a woman "sister" and not other ways.
Now do you understand why I posted these verses ?
Yes is true, my English is not the best like yours, because I don't respect and don't believe in grammar from when I was nine years old.
You use the word "Bible". What is the correct English word ?
Now, I will copy from 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, Republished in Facsimile Edition by Foundation For American Christian Education to Document and Demonstrate: BIBLE, n. (Gr. Biblos, a book) THE BOOK,...
We the Christians, call it "The Holy Scripture Book" and is divided in two parts "The Old Will and The New Will". For that, I copy again from 1828 American Dictionary : TESTAMENT, n. (Fr. from L. testamentum, from testor, to make a will.) ... This is otherwise called a will. ...
Did you studied Matthew 19:21,22,23 ? - and compare with Acts 2:44-46;4:32-34 ?
For that you all don't know who is our Father.
Correction, ye and not yet.

Well i have already answered when i said the God of Abraham is our Father..
(Matthew 23:8-10) "But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren. {9} And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. {10} Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ."
So humans should not call other humans father.. Not sure why you are posting these verses..
I think your English is not the best.. To engage in detailed discussions about the Bible and theology in English needs one to have good English ability.. You probably need to discuss the Bible at a froum in your first language Emil..
I am not upset and have not been upset at any time posting on this thread...

Brother, please do not be upset.
How do you can to understand Isaiah, when you cannot understand the teachings of os Lord Christ from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Do you start to build a building from the roof, from the walls, or you start from the foundation ?
Yes, Holy God that created us the humans is the Father of Lord Christ who was 2000 years ago upon this Earth and had the name "JESUS" and raised up by Joseph the son of David, the son of Abraham. (Matthew 1:25)
Who is our Father ?
Did you understood Matthew 23:8,9,10 ?
I see you use a KJV, did you ever read one from 1800s and to compare with that that you have ? - or with other versions, like NIV, Gideons, NKJV, and so on, for you understand what is going on ?

Jesus Christ was conceived miraculously by the Holy Spirit. That is why Jesus Christ is sinless, Son of God. Joseph was simply the earthly father of Jesus.
Regarding Jesus being son of David, of Abraham.....this refers to the family ancestry or lineage of Jesus Christ (Messiah).
Regarding Matthew 22:45.... Jesus is asking the Pharisees a puzzling question (puzzling to them). David calls Jesus Christ Lord (meaning Jesus is more than just a man), but Jesus is also the son of David (meaning the promised Messiah's ancestry).
Sister, because you are a woman, a woman give birth, or a woman whelp, namely delivery ?
Through what you wrote, you make Holy God a lier.
If you study the Holy Scripture Book, you will find Holy God told " At Me is the Truth"
What mean " Truth" to you ?
Did you, aswered at the question from Matthew 15:3 ?
That mean, your tradition, namely religion, is full with lies and nothing truth
Daydreams, daydreams, daydreams and nothing truth.
Answer sister at Matthew 15:3; and 22:45, in truth and not in daydreams.

Believe Jesus.. Become a follower of Jesus.. Do not become a follower of other people..
Also people can pray in public without anyone knowing they are communicating with God.. God can read our minds and knows our thoughts.. So all we need to doi is just think our prayers and God can know them.. Actually God knows what we are going to pray before we even think about what we are going to pray ..
God is Awesome in that Way..
Yes, I can to believe this, but it needs a better explanation on how to request.

We are speaking of Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior, who is written about in the Bible, God's holy Word.
According with Matthew 1:1, Jesus Christ is the son of David, of Abraham. Then, in Luke 3:23, is write "..., being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph,..."
Now, with who was Marry pregnant with Joseph the son of David or with Holy Ghost ?
The same show very clear in Mathew 1:18-25, in general in vers 25.
Now, if you read Matthew 22:41-46, Lord Christ asked about. Did you answered at vers 45 ?
Did you?

I, personal, believe the teachings of Lord Christ, who was 2000 years ago and had the name Jesus, and is the Son of Holy God that created us. Matthew 14:33;16:16;22:41-45

The verse is explained by the verses around it.. If we pray to God secretly then God will reward us openly.. We should not make prayer a public show of our religiosity.. Some people make a big show of their prayers to try and make others look upon them as being better or super Christians.. I can only imagine how this would provoke Gods wrath upon the person doing so..
Right today I was at a meeting, and before the meeting they prayed and you could hear everything, and they tanked for the food too before they started to eat, because someone brought food.
According with Deuteronomy 8:10 you have to tanks Holy God after you eat and you are full.
Them are Baptists, Catholics, and Calvinists (Methodists).
How is in secret when I could see and hear too ?
Then, what I can to believe ?

We call Jesus Christ the Lord as taught in the Bible. He is Lord with a capital "L." Jesus is not only our Savior if we truly believe on Him as our personal Savior, but He is also our Lord.
May I ask which country you are originally from so I can perhaps understand your thinking more? Thank you!
No, you do not need to always pray alone, you can pray with the others at church or elsewhere. Jesus talked about praying in private in that section of Matthew because in those verses Jesus was saying some people just like to be seen as praying....that is, having pride about praying. So He was warning us to not put on a show that we are praying.
When we pray at church or elsewhere, we are not doing it to be seen by others. We are simply joining together in prayer to God. God always looks at our hearts....He knows our hearts, the thoughts of our hearts.
Again, which country and religion are you originally from? Knowing this will help us to understand you more. Thanks.
I don't have country and neither religion, because I don't believe in religion (s).
Do you can to walk or drive in same time on two different roads ? - like on I95 and I35 ?
For that I have to study to see what road I take.

Arguing with God's word is not wise. It is there to help you. Call Him Master if you would rather. But Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He is the big boss, the highest authority. You would not land in jail for calling Jesus "Lord" in most countries.
Rom 10:9 that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
If you can't call Jesus "Lord", you are not a Christian.
I don't argue, in general with the words of Holy God. But I have questions at what I have to have answers.
Holy God is not against studying. How I can find the truth, not by studying ?
I come from former Communist Block, and because I studied their ideology, I did not believed in Communism or Socialism.
Do you can walk or drive on two different roads in some time ?
For that I have to study, for I know what road I take.

Some people go into the bathroom and lock the door to get some privacy and pray. Jesus felt the need to be alone to pray as well. We need to eliminate distractions as much as possible and just be alone with God. But this doesn't eliminate other kinds of prayer. My husband and I used to pray together for friends and family. We agree with each other in prayer often in our prayer forum and on chat's prayer time.
We should not pray just to be seen by others, trying to be eloquent and entertaining, or to seem spiritual.
Mar 1:35 Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.
Ok. But if I am in a meeting (anywhere) and are a lot of people and I want to request at Holy God I have to find a bathroom or a closet ?

It's always best to read the verses preceding the verse you are asking about.
You will see from the verses 1 through 5 that Jesus is talking about don't be like people who just give alms or pray in order to be seen by others. If we give alms or pray to be seen by others, this is having pride about our good works.
So going into your closet to pray, just means to be private in your devotions between you and God. Of course, it's alright to join with others in prayer at church or other places if it's for the right reasons....not for making a show or having pride that we are praying. But to sincerely join with others in prayer for the needs of others or yourself.
But tell "... Shut the door"

According with the teachings of Lord Christ from Matthew 6:6 we have to go in a closet and shut the door.

Many are called but few are selected.
The secret at this is in Matthew 7:13,14;
How do you find the narrow gate ?
Not Holy God or His Son Lord Christ select, but you self select the way.
Matthew 19:21. Did you did ?
You was called
For that many are called, but because of the earthly materials they can not change their ways, because having earthly materials they can satisfy their affections and pleasures upon this Earth. The second is in Apocalypse (you call it wrong "revelation") 13:16-18.
Do you know who are those marks ?
You all LOVE them and you do anything for them.
You being a mere mortal without knowledge of everything do not know who knows whom..

Ooooh! You don't like the truth about your paganic religions ? Very soon you all will never use the Holy Scripture Book and neither the word "Jesus" to cover up your paganic religions.
Thank you.
