This first music video is a beautiful version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah by 16 year old Lucy Thomas. Lucy sings only the 1st and last verse. She has added a "NO" to her version in the middle. You can make what you want of it , but to me she is saying that the Hallelujah does not have to be...
ooops! I accidentally posted my previous text prematurely. (continuing)
article was: How Jewish is Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah?" The song is all over the place and shows the spiritual confusion present in the author.
To better grasp the discussion pull Grisar"s article. ([email protected])...
Back to Tovia's article: There he expresses a desire on his part to draw Christians out from their faith. I assume he is referring to his fellow Jews who have somehow seen the light and have taken that path which leads away from the false teachings and deceptions perpetrated by men such as...
Adam 45,
I would remind you to read Paul's letter to Timothy where he instructs him how to properly administer the gospel, (2 Tim 2:11-18). He references a couple of fellows who like you have erred concerning the truth.
You obviously fall into that same category. You may have read but you have...
Greetings Adam,
I assume you are a brother in Christ. I appreciate your interest in things spiritual. Could i invite you to view my conversation with Harel13 regarding the merits of Christianity as opposed to that of Judaism. I address the Trinity issue from a similar but slightly different...
Several seasons back I came across a you-tube video titled "A powerful Nashville debate; is Jesus the Jewish messiah?" The speakers were listed as Rabbi Tovia Singer and Christian professor R.L Solberg.
As i am always interested in the debate scene between Jews and Christians, my curiosity got...
Many in the Christian community speak of peace, but with a total misunderstanding of the true concept of the peace spoken of by Jesus.
"Think not that i am come to send peace on earth: I am come not to send peace but a sword". Matthew 10:34.
"Peace i leave with you, my peace i give unto you...
By not understanding that there is a physical Zion and a spiritual Zion can lead to confusion. God speaks in the spiritual which is in fact the true reality. Our physical world is not our true existence, Christians reside in the spiritual. I believe there are individuals who, though they are not...
Sorry about the abrupt end of the previous post, i seem to have accidentally hit the wrong key and the post was prematurely sent.
Another would be "THE TESTAMENTS of the TWELVE PATRIARCHS." These were written around 107-137 B.C. The are the dying testaments of the sons of Israel. Any serious...
To those who have been following this one sided "debate", I apologize for my time away from the forum. Also i noticed an error in my misuse of the word weather in the my previous posts. The correct word should be whether as in; whichever one of the two, as opposed to the use of weather as in...
off the previous topic for a bit:
One of my newly baptized Christian brothers recently returned from a business trip and stayed at a Sheraton hotel for the night.
He recalled from one of our studies my warning to be cautious as to what bible to study from. There are many mistranslated versions...
Had a short conversation with what i thought was a knowledgeable christian brother. Shortly into the conversation i realized he did not know the difference between soul and spirit. This brother actively seeks out converts and had made contact with a young fellow i had led to Jesus last year...
The problem for men, myself included is that we tend to view one another through the eyes of man. To understand what is going on we must view man through the eyes of God. Initially, when a child is born, God is present in that life. I can not say in what form He is there, but He is.
As the...
There are two aspects as to who Messiah Jesus is. When we study we need to keep this in mind. He is the son of man and he is the Son of God.
One argument often presented by the proponents of Judaism is that God can not be a man.
I can agree with that to some extent except when God is acting in...
I am a product of the 60s-70s. After doing two tours of duty in Vietnam (US Navy), I came back to a different world. The homecoming reception the military received then was un-American, and It took awhile for me to readjust.
I am blue collar and never went to church because of all the...
Truth belongs to God; Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ, John 1:17. It is applied to individuals, situations and circumstances. There can be any number of false gods, but there can be only one true God. There can be any number of lies, but there can be only one truth.
All men are liars...
In reference to Romans 12:1. It is imperative that scripture be quoted accurately. If you reference the original Greek you will not find the mention of spiritual worship. The correct wording is reasonable service. Much confusion enters in when these things happen. Service is a work and would be...
Wellwisher,
To worship in spirit is to worship with your voice. This would include singing songs of praise, prayer, and anything having to do with bringing honor and glory to God using ones voice. Your words are spirit.
To worship in truth is to do those things commanded of us like loving one...
The message in the old testament and that in the new are one and the same. You will not find this message taught in the synagogues or in the churches, but you will find it throughout the old testament and the new. They are intertwined with that same word. What could not be accomplished in the...
