Woo hoo! A thread about the Seven Laws of Noach! Have to keep this one up once in a while.

I don't know if Dave still exists on this site, but I've asked others to define the following for me; but haven't gotten much of an answer: What is the "letter of the law" and what is the "spirit of the law"?

Re: hmmm Hey Banana: I've got some time, so I'm going back through old threads. My apologies if it becomes cumbersome. Anyways... the word that I have heard used the most (as a Hebrew transliteration) is Prushim for the Pharisees. And, if I'm not mistaken, it means something like...

The breakdown would look like this (as far as Jewish literature): Talmud: Mishneh, Gemara. TaNaKh: Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim (note, Tanakh is an acronym: TNK) Torah: Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, Deuteronomy Nevi'im: The Prophets. Ketuvim: The Writings As for everything else, I'll leave...

It's very refreshing to see a statement, like this, made. I applaud you for bringing it forth, and I applaud CR for having that type of desire. There is nothing more irksome to me, in a debate or discussion, than for someone to just spam a verse or passage. It's the interpretation and...

So, along with your "observance" of the Sabbath, do you also observe the mitzvoh pertaining to non-Nazirite, non-Kohenim, males within the Torah?

November's been rather disappointing for you the last few years, huh? I wish I could empathize, but I enjoy seeing my boys in Scarlet & Gray put the "hurt-on". Go Bucks! :D

Quite simply, Christians are not called to observe (in the same manner as Jews) the Sabbath. That is a memorial between G-d and the Jews only. Now, it's no problem to revere it or have a solemn assembly; however, the intricacies with with Jewish tradition has established - that is not...

To be honest, I don't know of one Christian who ascribes the time table of Daniel to the Maccabees. Therefore, I can't help you on that one.

Got'cha. You believe that all the criteria of Jeremiah 31 have been fulfilled regarding the "New" Covenant? I don't correlate Daniel's 70 weeks with the advent of the "New" Covenant. I consider them completely separate. When taking that into account, it's a little bit easier to see how...

I applaud you in that desire. Unfortunately, I am not entirely savvy on what Tanakh translations are sound. I have been told by learned Jews that the translation in the library at www.chabad.org is good as well as a couple others. For personal reading, I have an Artscroll Stone Edition...

Thanks for illuminating that for me again. I had forgotten some time ago that Paul would often amalgamate different Scriptures into his picture. Isaiah 27:9 Therefore by this is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this [is] all the fruit--To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of...

ICA: Just wanted to mention to you that the Hebrew transliterated word for "New" in Jeremiah 31 is the same word that is used for "New" Moon. Thought this might help on understanding the meaning behind "new", and give insight into the response that Banana gave above about how Jews view the...

Is this thread only for Christians to answer or are you looking for other groups' insights?

Shalom Steve: 1) What correlation do people present regarding Jesus and the Maccabees? My understanding is that neither one has anything to do with the other. As a matter of fact, if the Epiphanes/Maccabees considerations is correct, then that nullifies the whole 3 1/2 year ministry of Jesus...

I recently purchased Caesar's Messiah by Joseph Atwill. Has anyone else purchased it? If so, what are your thoughts? Anyone interested in discussing the theory on this forum?

I believe that the Nephillim existed; however, I do not believe that they were offspring of an angelic-human union. Since I pretty much follow Judaic tradition regarding angels, I don't believe that there are any fallen angels. All angels are emissaries of G-d to do His bidding, and they do...

[/color] [color=black]True. I guess I would ask this particular Muslim to show proof of such statements. I was under the impression that Muhammed actually consulted with Jews about some things. Maybe I'm wrong. Whether he read the Tanakh or not, I do not know.

I need to ask if you believe Paul is quoting Isaiah 59:20 with the passage above. The same passage from the Jewish Tanakh translates more like this (in context): Isaiah 59 18. According to their deeds, accordingly He shall repay, fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies; to the...

From a Christian POV, I completely agree with you. From Judaic/Noachide/Muslim POV, I cannot. There have been many messiahs throughout Jewish history. The different messiahs would be: Moses, Joshua, David, Hezekiah, the judges, the prophets... many, many people. If I'm not mistaken, Muslims...
