And here are two more questions that I think are important and are valid coming from a person who had a Christian upbringing. Therefore, if any Orthodox Jew could answer these questions, I would appreciate it.
P.S. And the English translated word that I am referring to in Psalm 51:3-5 is "sin."
I haven't found the Daniel question yet, however, I do want to ask other Orthodox Jews about the information above and how it's related to Who is Hashem. Therefore, if Orthodox Jews don't go by a concept of humanity being in a sinful state, then why did Hashem require animal sacrifices in the Torah?
Okay. No problem. Thanks. But the first thing that I wanted to know about was what I asked about a verse in Daniel. However, I will have to go back and find the question that I asked.
Sorry, but I don't remember and of course, I have no idea what the Hebrew lettering is saying.
Some people who don't know better would say yes, but very much so not. Although most English translations look just about the same if we are referring to Genesis 1:1.
Okay. Well, that's why I asked. I didn't know if it was an incorrect word or concept for TMJs, and if so, then I wanted to know what their relationship and interaction with Hashem was called. Also, while were on the subject why did someone or something like Hashem call a human like Abraham his...
Well, I don't know very many TMJs... really none at all other than just finding out about yourself last year at this forum. However, if I check with other Jews or other Jewish sources, you will then ask: Were they TMJs? :(
But I don't know how you would be reading it in the literal Hebrew...
Well, let's not be too judgmental. Because I think that was the angry skeptic that came out in me because sometimes when you have religious discussions or debates with other people, sometimes they can become a bit polarizing, and I will admit that what I said was one of the talking points that...
Oh, I see. Well, many of those verses I am already familiar with in English. And in the English that I am already familiar with, it doesn't say anything about an eternal soul. Therefore, I don't know why you didn't translate what those verses are expressing in English as close as possible from...
You must have been in a hurry and missed the point. What you are replied to is an additional point to the real point. Therefore, the real questions that I was asking can be seen in this link from post #480.

Hey, guys, Derek's video was an April Fool's joke and I was trying to make it sound as if it wasn't (the same way he made his video sound). But I guess he made it where it wouldn't be postable at forums. But the whole thing would have been really funny. :smile:
P.S. And by the way, even though that was very good and enlightening information about the cross, Jehovah's Witnesses need a lot more work with understanding reality as far as creation and evolution goes. You guys do a VERY poor job with your outdated information and deceptive and embarrassing...
Well, I wanted to give @nPeace props for doing a great job in answering my thread questions, however, apparently, he must feel that I am unworthy of being replied to since I was either once a Jehovah's Witnesses or once associated with them. ;) (And please no saying to tell that guy that I don't...
So, what about Zoar? Genesis 19:19-30
Therefore, it doesn't look like the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah was perceived as the end of the entire world. :confused:
