Moses, Yeshua, and the Revelation of God’s Attributes
I affirm the original meaning of the Torah text. No mortal can survive seeing the unmediated glory of the transcendent G-d (Hashem). At the same time, I acknowledge that Yeshua is actually the Shekhinah made Flesh. He is the only one who can fully reveal Hashem.
The Heart of Proverbs
At its core, Proverbs is about the conflict between “Wisdom” and “Folly.” These aren’t merely abstract ideas; they are active life-shaping forces that define our choices
The Gospel of the Kingdom
We’re all sinners—we fall short, and we know it. But even in our brokenness, God loves us deeply. At the same time, He is holy, perfect, and just, and we are not. So, in His wisdom, He chose one man, Abraham. He also chose one nation, Israel. They were to carry His truth to theContinue reading “The Gospel of the Kingdom”
لماذا يجب على كل مسيحي أن يقف مع إسرائيل: الثقة في وعود الله الثابتة
حان الوقت لنتجاوز مرحلة المشاهدة السلبية. كمسيحيين من خلفيات متنوعة، نحن مدعوون إلى التحرك، لنقف بشجاعة وبدون تردد مع إسرائيل. إيماننا يطالبنا بذلك، والتاريخ يُلزمنا به، وأخلاقياتنا تحتم علينا، ومصالحنا الاستراتيجية تتماشى معه. لكن قبل كل شيء، فإن مدى ثقتنا في وعود الله لنا كمؤمنين من الأمم يعتمد على إدراكنا لعهد الله الدائم مع إسرائيل. إذا كان الله يمكن أن يتخلى عن شعبه المختار ووعده الأبدي، فما الضمان الذي لدينا نحن في اختيارنا؟ دعونا نجعل أصواتنا واضحة ودعمنا غير متزعزع.

Furthermore, he affirms that the hope for the Messiah is not a result of a pesher method of interpretation ofContinue reading “Book Review: The Messianic Hope by Michael Rydelnik”
Biblical IV
understanding the terminology of the time and the historical background both are essential to understanding the message of the Scriptures
Biblical III
III. Proposals: Technical Proposals To begin with, one should distinguish between being biblical and being literal. To clarify the difference, I recall one preacher who used to assert to his congregation that the prime principle of biblical hermeneutics is to interpret the Scriptures literally, “when Jesus said He is the door, He meant what HeContinue reading “Biblical III”
Biblical II
The Issue “To be biblical is simply to align oneself with the claims of the Bible.” said an old friend of mine. Unfortunately, my friend’s claim is not as simple as it appears. As they say, the devil is in the details; there are many sub-questions that stem from the question of how to beContinue reading “Biblical II”
