Cause these X-tians ( and it was you who mentioned pentateuch and septuagaint) have it sound as if it talks about the J- man.<br />Also Jesaia 53 is falsiefied by X-tians. X-tians also hate Talmud. If Samaritan scripture favors the Hebrew version than that good be a great countermissionary tool. Not that I need that, but some of your fellow people might.<br />BTW: Water is Thora, correct? So, ( In my humble mind)it is fitting that Chabad headquarters is in Brooklin.<br />Shabat Shalom<br />Quess one has to be circumcised to enter the Machpela which is fair enough.vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154245436599417606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-10067582397489089752010-10-29T10:41:07.277-04:002010-10-29T10:41:07.277-04:00Thanx for da patience and kind words.
I was in a k...Thanx for da patience and kind words.<br />I was in a kibutz once called Beth Ha Emeq, so I know what is an Emeq and have known for a while also about 'new testament' errors regarding the cave's location and that's what triggered my reaction.<br />Also about Samaritans I was aware. Maybe because of the good Samaritan story in this new testament i thought they were X-tians (LOL). Sorry for all that.<br />Anyway, and ofcourse I am here to learn and my knowledge is so much less than yours, so forgive me my boldness or Chutzpah but the cave was on the edge of the field wasn't it? And Hebron is pretty high above Sea level anyway. So what is the problem? You go up, physically but first you humble yourself ( go down) in order to ascent spiritualy with the Most High. So even when you go up a liitle to go downbeneath into the cave to where the craves are, it is all fitting and just a matter of saying. It reminds me of a broek in Dutch lingo. A brook is not land nor water but a play of these two, where water and land meet. It is as much defind by what it is as it is defind by what it borders with. This is connected with Brooklin indeed a place of lots of water but where people lived along the water. In the same way I would suggest a cave would always be on the outside or edge of a mountain and there would always be a question of defining the outer bounderies and actual circumstances to be found with a hollow space partialy inside partialy halfway up, partialy going up, going in, and going down.<br />Anyway, I might have driven through Hebron once and don't really know. But these are my humble thoughts about it, if they make any sense to you, i don't know. I am not so sure myself(LOL).If Abraham is indeed father of all peoples than can Noahides take a look inside? Not that I want/need to, but just as a question?vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154245436599417606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-28132780132049255662010-10-27T11:59:19.742-04:002010-10-27T11:59:19.742-04:00ah, i see now. :)
if you are referring to Samarit...ah, i see now. :)<br /><br />if you are referring to Samaritans, then they are not Christians but rather (according to the Talmud) Jewish converts from about second-Temple times who ultimately rejected Oral Law while accepting the Written Law. When the Talmud talks of laws applying to Cutheans, quite often this is a reference to Samaritans, for they were called Kutim.<br /><br />I don't know about the Bible Codes, but it is quite possible that such codes could be found in the Samaritan text as well. After all, there are Masoretic disputes as well and, as Rabbi Shmueli Boteach recently pointed out, the Talmud states that we are not experts in full or deficient spelling (of vowel letters such as vav and yud), which could throw off Bible codes as well.<br /><br />all the best,<br />Joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-54839231097408765462010-10-27T11:48:54.243-04:002010-10-27T11:48:54.243-04:00I know and agree that's why I was laughing out...I know and agree that's why I was laughing out loud (LOL).<br />And also, I think that when they add extra lettres to their bible there are no codes to be found !<br />But I am gonna study these guys a liitle bit. Thanks for that, but I do not worry about them so much.<br />Because no codes, and errors in other books of theirs. They are X-tians are they not?<br />Me Noahide!

i don't think the positioning of ...interesting.<br />i don't think the positioning of the cave in Shechem would work out, for two reasons:<br />(a) assuming the present-day Cave of the Patriarchs is in its true location, then it is in Hebron rather than Nablus (Shechem).<br />(b) the Biblical verse above, that Jacob sent Joseph from the valley of Hebron to Shechem.<br /><br />Assuming authorship of Acts is from Luke, then this is outside the land of Israel, in Ancient Syria, somewhere 2nd century to 4th century CE. So it is possible that some confusion about geography occurred.<br /><br />all the best,<br />joshjoshwaxmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05149022516101476797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5589564.post-51603191682773461702010-10-26T14:58:53.623-04:002010-10-26T14:58:53.623-04:00'Newest Testament' and ofspring of 'Ol...'Newest Testament' and ofspring of 'Old Testament's Septuagint' more precisely the book of Acts has the cave positioned in Sechem, if I remember correctly. What about that? (LOL)<br />Feel very mixed about the capital letters of some words.<br />Samaritans are not an uninteressting bunch I have to say.<br />Don't know much about them, but still. Do they have codes in this bible of theirs?vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154245436599417606noreply@blogger.com
