One creator force brought us all into being. But to believe in only one story, is egocentric and ignorant. The real truth, I suspect, is far more incredible than one man dying on a cross. Far more, mind blowing and far too complicated for us humans to fathom. Yet, the death and resurrection motif is so powerful an icon, it alone serves to draw us into a deeper inward journey.
Interesting history of course. No dogma. Just, tree as she is, created by a seeding decades ago. Dogma kills the poetry. Humans eat metaphor like hungry jackals and never sit by a tree. This is why, scriptures of any kind, fail. Or for that matter, a tree. The word of God would have been written in the language of the original writer! Copies would have been made through time and written in other languages!! What did survive are copies and so we have something to think and argue about!
In the bigger picture of things, are you ready to meet the almighty God!! I just hope to hear him say well done my good and faithful servant, and I hope that along the way I have made the difference in someone life that they hear those same words as well!!
GOD bless you all!! My friends just believe that Jesus Christ who died on Calvary shed his blood for you, and that by shedding his blood he covered your sins and obey the 10 Commandments. God is a supernatural God and will lift the veil from your eyes if you earnestly prey for truth. Christ is Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
May he open all hearts to this Truth….. All this intense study and you still neglect the most important fact! Does anyone know of research done on differences between the 5 Books of Moses as found in the Dead Sea scrolls and the ones scribed today? I have been reading the book of Job, where on earth did the wrighter of this book come up with such detailed events, seems pretty far fetched to me that they found such a complete scroll ,please let me know where I can read how this story came about.
Thank you so much for your time. Jesus full filled the profecies. It also says that Jesus teach them but and multitudes followed him. I wonder what was He teaching that only a few things got written. And what else he taught his disciples? No one of them took more notes of his teachings? The book of Enoch talks about the Son of Man. Jesus is called the Son of Man in so many verses. And 2 Tesalossians is really powerful are we believing the lies?
An update of this work known as Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia BHS , edition, was used to prepare the footnote apparatus of this edition. Can you please provide specific details title and or isbn to what you would consider the most credible translation of the Dead Sea Scrolls?
An email with this information would be greatly appreciated. I find mistranslations and man made stories written in Modern day bibles. The true original texts are gone. Although i do believe some is true.
Psalm the words The Lord are pure words:as silver tried in a furnace of earth,purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them,O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. Hosea I have written to him the great things of my law,but they were counted as a strange thing.
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;…. Folks He wrote It and preserved it. Kjv niv Satan is very powerful and very deceitful. Look at what he said to eve in the garden, Yea, hath God said,… Questioning her did God really say that.
If God is the author of one who is the author of the rest? He lives He lives!!! For the simple reason , the BCE copy called the septuigent does not exist and never did. The example adduced by Tov from 1 Samuel provides an interesting case study. We are assured by God Himself that the Word will remain intact. I have complete faith that the message of the Bible is what God intends it to be. Anyone who researches the source s of the Old Testament and ignores Elephantine is just presenting incomplete research.
We just imagine a border, but nobody has ever been able to draw it on a map. The actual archeology points to Elephantine as being the oldest Hebrew Temple we have. There no evidence of a Temple in modern Jerusalem before Herod, in fact Josephus says there was only an altar of huge white stones, and that Herod removed whatever was there and built the Temple Mount.
The stories of the return of the of the captives to the Temple in Ezra and Nehemiah are exclusively about the restoration of the Temple at Elephantine under Darius II. The names of the people and the events regarding the Temple are the same as the names and events at Elephantine.
Fundamentalists just say the book of Ezra is all mixed up ;-. Elephantine began under Cyrus the Great but was stopped sometime after the reign of Cambyses. It was later rebuilt under Darius II. Exactly as the chronology of the Book of Ezra has it. Ezra 3 6 From the first day of the seventh month began they to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord. But the foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
Josephus records the writing of Hecateus regarding what was on the Mound in modern Jerusalem before Herod in Apion I, These are most likely the stones Herod used for the base of the Temple Mount wailing wall. Hard by it is a large edifice, wherein there is an altar and a candlestick, both of gold, and in weight two talents: upon these there is a light that is never extinguished, either by night or by day. As for Jesus? Since this was written when Jesus was 5 years old 6CE , it would have been circulating when Jesus, Mary and Josephus went into Egypt right?
As a place of pilgrimage, Jerusalem was a hotbed of sectarianism then just as it is today. The Elephantine texts are interesting but marginal. They come from a small Jewish community well away from the core community in Judea or in Persia.
The text from Kings about Rabshakeh implies that the Judeans spoke Hebrew, not Aramaic, although the two languages are close relatives. Indeed, the relationship of Hebrew to Aramaic, as well as Edomite and Moabite, is close enough to infer that the Hebrew-speaking Israelites came from the east, not from the Canaanite or Phoenician coastal cities.
All the First Temple-era texts from archaeological work are in Hebrew, written in paleo-Hebrew script. Aramaic did not become a lingua franca until the Persian conquest. The Persians made Aramaic one of the official languages of their empire. Before that, it was an obscure language of a small kingdom around Damascus.
The LXX was natural. It surprises me that up till now people discuss about Jesus when the Dead sea scrolls have proven that Jesus is a might of The Romans and a total allegory.
Even the Demon whom The satanic kingdom has given power as Jesus has tried to kill me after I refused his warning not to tell people that he is not real. This is because YHWH revealed whom this entity is to me in The worst thing anybody will do is to talk about this evil name Jesus.
Lack of repentance has made it impossible for YHWH to reveal hidden truth about the evil Christianity in this world. The messiah is not Jesus if you are spirit filled to see the messiah you will know that Jesus is a pagan deity zeus without Glory like Yahshua in spirit.
From a prophetic standpoint, and on at least some level, historical as well, the fact that the Elephantine Jewish community existed where it did makes it a dubious outlier. Historically, we have found images of YHWH with a consort, which constitutes a double transgression. Could it offer something of value not generally acknowledged? Possibly, but the evidence needs to be convincingly presented.
Interesting that Rose brought up the issue of the Jewish community in Elephantine being mostly ignored. The earliest language recording Bible verses would be Aramaic, as the Elephantine Papyrus is the oldest existing source. Corresponding themes are the stoppage and rebuilding of the Temple, its walls and doors. Meaning there is a record of Bible events going back at least to BCE.
The oldest language that records these events in existence today is Aramaic. Which comes back to the sources of the original Biblical texts. Why no mention of Elephantine? Yet the texts are right there at the Hebrew Temple in Elephantine and Christianity and Judaism mostly brushes them under the carpet as if they were a red headed step child. Wonder why? First written Text,? Of Bible? What Language? They then searched for pixels that could signify ink made with a dense material like iron or lead.
The researchers then used computer modeling to virtually flatten the scroll, to be able to read a few columns of text inside. The researchers say it is the first time a biblical scroll has been discovered in an ancient synagogue's holy ark, where it would have been stored for prayers, and not in desert caves like the Dead Sea Scrolls.
The discovery holds great significance for scholars' understanding of the development of the Hebrew Bible, researchers say.
In ancient times, many versions of the Hebrew Bible circulated. The Dead Sea Scrolls, dating to as early as the 3rd century B. Scholars have believed the Hebrew Bible in its standard form first came about some 2, years ago, but never had physical proof, until now, according to the study. Previously the oldest known fragments of the modern biblical text dated back to the 8th century.
The text discovered in the charred Ein Gedi scroll is " percent identical" to the version of the Book of Leviticus that has been in use for centuries, said Dead Sea Scroll scholar Emmanuel Tov from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who participated in the study. Noam Mizrahi, a Dead Sea Scrolls expert at Tel Aviv University who did not participate in the study, called it a "very, very nice find.
