>> one question..who is Nehemia Gordon...?<<
You can read some about him here. Appears he does his “original” Hebrew work from rather recent stuff.
KARAISM & NEHEMIA GORDON http://hebrewnewtestament.com/karaites.htm
Mr. Nehemia Gordon uses New Testament texts to wedge his own religious ideas against the Household of Faith who follow Y’shua. For example Mr. Nehemia Gordon wrote a book entitled The Hebrew Yeshua vs the Greek Jesus that he based on a medieval Hebrew New Testament (1380 AD) text, trying to cast doubt on Aramaic and Greek texts that predate it by over 1300 years (if we consider that later copies of Shem Tob texts are mid 1500’s that Mr. Gordon references).
Thanks, CB. That’s all I need to know about one Nehemia Gordon...
Now why is that? Because small or LARGE type - you are STILL left in the wonder state.... And I wonder why the question. - as nothing penetrates.
No one is wondering why you changed the subject with no response to my post other than CAPS.
Typical CB Strawman again.
Nobody ever said that Papias did any manuscripts.
Every Greek ms that has a broken Hebrew pun has to have been mistranslated from Hebrew. That is called logic.
Almost all of them have the broken puns, as is to be expected.
>> “The problem is, G-d had already spoken at Sinai and revealed a religion that simply did not allow for the possibility of any such religion as chrstianity” <<
.
Let’s try once again to untwist your confusion.
Yehova did not reveal any “religion” at Sinai; he presented his commandments to his chosen people. “Christianity,” originally known as “The Way,” is not a religion either; it is the fulfillment of the perfect sacrifice called for at Sinai, and later described by the prophets.
You want religion? religion is invented by men, and is a sure path to the lake that burns. Judaism is a religion, as is Catholicism, infact they are almost one and the same. Both are lies offered by men wishing to control other men. Both declare that they have oral secrets by which men are to live, and both violate the prohibitions in Deuteronomy and Revelation against changing Yehova’s laws.
The Way, the path of Yeshua, is the perfection of what Yehova gave Moses at Sinai. The effective sacrifice that forever pays for sin.
Why should we believe Kloppenborg over Papias? I am not being a smart alec I am asking a serious question. Papias was closer to the source and to the best of my knowledge did not have an agenda.
Yes; to both.
You won.
I was commenting on my schtick when I refered to sarcasm and 'good luck'.
Not so much doubt about HIM; but 'doubt' all these seemingly extraneous things one is supposed to 'believe' and/or 'practice' to ensure RETATINING one's salvation.
I fully believe Jesus' words found in John 6:29.
Thank GOD!
I've always heard that if you ARE going to sin; try one you've never done before.
Is THIS a true name?
What do Mormon’s believe?
Obviously some folks only care about repeating lies and slanders about the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church Jesus Christ Himself founded and not about leading others to Christ.
Let the heathens rage. Pray for them and their error.
My apologies, I misunderstood. Cheers!
Elsie sometimes needs to be read with a HUGE grain of salt.
It's hard to say as a general statement, for there are HUNDREDs of different .
MY focus on MormonISM is what Scriptures they claim; what History they have and what verbage from it's leaders can be quoted.
THEY then have the opportunity to affirm or deny what their chosen organization has produced.
If you've noticed, I ping a few of them when something interesting about MormonISM shows up on FR.
Now that they no longer have a man in the political arena they want to push; they've remained quite under the radar.
I've used the BIG list of MORMONs found on Resty's home page before; but more ignore the ping. A small few get real huffy that they've been pinged.
Official sites are sites supported by LDS officials unless said official sites are considered unofficial by said officials.At that point such sites are unofficial unless officially referenced for official purposes by officials who can do so officially.This should not be misconstrued as an indication that official sites can be unofficially recognized as official nor should it be implied that unofficial sites cannot contain official information, but are not officially allowed to be offical despite their official contents due the their unofficialness.Official sites will be official and recognized as official by officials of the LDS unless there is an official reason to mark them as unofficial either temporally or permanently, which would make the official content officially unofficial.This is also not to imply that recognized sites, often used on FR by haters and bigots cannot contain official information, it just means that content, despite its official status, is no longer official and should be consider unofficial despite the same information being official on an official site elsewhere.Even then the officialness my be amended due to the use of the unofficial information which may determine the officialness of anything be it official or unofficial depending on how and where it is used officially or unofficially.
