This weekend is Shavu`ot, so it's time for my annual posting of this article.

Shavu`ot ping!

The only absolutely verifiable and objective Divine Revelation in history, on which all other claimants stand or fall!

I'm Christian and I had always heard that G-d spoke to all the people who were so afraid because it was so loud, they begged Moses to make it stop and to go up on the mountain and speak to G-d for them all. He did so — at their request — and when he returned he had to wear a veil over his face he was so radiant.

Guess, I was ahead of the curve or that 95 percent retention rate of all I read helped out a lot. I thought everybody knew that.

The above answers come from Cecil B. DeMille's classic film, "The Ten Commandments." Amazing the impact one movie can have on the Jewish education of generations of Jews. It's a great film, but DeMille should have read the original.

Great thread, Z-C

Ping. Didn’t mean to forget you; it was totally an accident!

"Furthermore, it is interesting to note that the other major religions of the world both accept the Jewish revelation at Sinai,...Why didn't they just deny the revelation ever happened?"

Each year now, more of them are denying it.

This weekend is Shavu`ot, so it's time for my annual posting of this article.

Thanks for the article. It's certainly true that God spoke the ten commandments from Mount Sinai.

God spoke to you from the midst of the fire, you were hearing the sound of words, but you were not seeing a form, only a sound. He told you of His covenant, instructing you to keep the Ten Commandments, and He inscribed them on two stone tablets.' (Deut.4:9-13)

But those were the ONLY words he uttered to all of Israel. He did not speak directly to the people after this, but spoke through prophets.

Exd 20:18 KJV - And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw [it], they removed, and stood afar off.
Exd 20:19 KJV - And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

Please note that I'm not diminishing those instructions given through the prophets. I'm merely pointing out that the giving of Godly revelation through prophets was norm.

All of the law except the ten commandments were given through prophets such as Moses, Ezekiel, Jesus and Paul.

I will also be observing the Shavu'ot, or Pentecost, this weekend and hope that you have a blessed observance.
