Which Bible Should You Use???? http://atseminary.weebly.com/book-recently-printed.html

 

Anti-semitism

 The term 'anti-semitism' was coined in 1879 by a German journalist Wilhelm Marr to designate anti-Jewish campaigns then appearing throughout Europe. Since that time, the term has been universally applied to any form of behavior or literature which evidences hostility toward the Jews.

What do Martin Luther and Adolf Hitler have in Common?

Martin Luther, 1483-1546 A.D.
"Set Jewish synagogues on fire for the honor of God. God will see we are Christians when we get rid of the Jews. Likewise homes should be destroyed; they should be put in a stable; they are not heirs of promises of God and deserve to die. Deprive them of all prayer shawls, prayer books and communication, revoke all passports, stop them from doing all business, everything they possess we believe they stole and robbed from us. They do not have God's blessings, drive them out of the country ... get rid of them." 
Martin Luther preached his last sermon avidly against the Jews and died four days later.  
In 1924 at a Christian gathering in Berlin, Adolf Hitler, a professed Christian, stood before thousands of Christians, and with a standing ovation said:
"I believe that today I am acting in accordance with the will of Almighty God. As I announce the most important work that Christians could undertake and that is to be against the Jews and get rid of them once and for all. We are doing the work of the Lord and let's get on with it." Hitler stated, "Martin Luther has been the greatest encouragement of my life. Luther was a great man. He was a giant. Within one blow he heralded the coming of the new dawn and the new age. He saw clearly that the Jews need to be destroyed and we're only beginning to see that we need to carry this work on."

What Ancient Rabbis Write about "The Messiah"

 Babylonian Talmud: "The Messiah --what is his name?...The Rabbis say, The Leper Scholar, as it is said, `surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him a leper, smitten of God and afflicted...'" (Sanhedrin 98b)

Midrash Ruth Rabbah: "Another explanation (of Ruth ii.14): -- He is speaking of king Messiah; `Come hither,' draw near to the throne; `and eat of the bread,' that is, the bread of the kingdom; `and dip thy morsel in the vinegar,' this refers to his chastisements, as it is said, `But he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities'"

Targum Jonathan: "Behold my servant Messiah shall prosper; he shall be high and increase and be exceedingly strong..."

Zohar: "`He was wounded for our transgressions,' etc....There is in the Garden of Eden a palace called the Palace of the Sons of Sickness; this palace the Messiah then enters, and summons every sickness, every pain, and every chastisement of Israel; they all come and rest upon him. And were it not that he had thus lightened them off Israel and taken them upon himself, there had been no man able to bear Israel's chastisements for the transgression of the law: and this is that which is written, `Surely our sicknesses he hath carried.'"

Rabbi Moses Maimonides: "What is the manner of Messiah's advent....there shall rise up one of whom none have known before, and signs and wonders which they shall see performed by him will be the proofs of his true origin; for the Almighty, where he declares to us his mind upon this matter, says, `Behold a man whose name is the Branch, and he shall branch forth out of his place' (Zech. 6:12). And Isaiah speaks similarly of the time when he shall appear, without father or mother or family being known, He came up as a sucker before him, and as a root out of dry earth, etc....in the words of Isaiah, when describing the manner in which kings will harken to him, At him kings will shut their mouth; for that which had not been told them have they seen, and that which they had not heard they have perceived." (From the Letter to the South (Yemen), quoted in The Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters, Ktav Publishing House, 1969, Volume 2, pages 374-5)

Rabbi Mosheh Kohen Ibn Crispin: This rabbi described those who interpret Isaiah 53 as referring to Israel as those: "having forsaken the knowledge of our Teachers, and inclined after the `stubbornness of their own hearts,' and of their own opinion, I am pleased to interpret it, in accordance with the teaching of our Rabbis, of the King Messiah....This prophecy was delivered by Isaiah at the divine command for the purpose of making known to us something about the nature of the future Messiah, who is to come and deliver Israel, and his life from the day when he arrives at discretion until his advent as a redeemer, in order that if anyone should arise claiming to be himself the Messiah, we may reflect, and look to see whether we can observe in him any resemblance to the traits described here; if there is any such resemblance, then we may believe that he is the Messiah our righteousness; but if not, we cannot do so." (From his commentary on Isaiah, quoted in The Fifty-third Chapter of Isaiah According to the Jewish Interpreters, Ktav Publishing House, 1969, Volume 2, pages 99-114.)

Are Some Cajuns Jews?

Hello Friends,

 Sister Klein who is Jewish on both sides grew-up as a Cajun. She showed me this writing. There are more articles available.

Cajun or Jewish?
Sandra DeVlin
July 29, 2004 Thursday Final Edition
Jackie Bourque is in the eye of a whirlwind of mixed emotions since discovering she and thousands of others in Atlantic Canada may have been misled over many centuries about their Acadian heritage.
“I had been led to believe I was a Cajun girl and that we had to maintain our French … and not mix with the English,” says the Bathurst, N.B. native who is currently living in Quebec.
“It took me several weeks to actually accept that I am Jewish more than I am Acadian,” says Jackie, who believes she has stumbled upon a little-known or little-discussed fact: that many of the familiar Acadian surnames are more likely of Jewish origin than of French.
“People will not generally accept this,” she says, “because they have been brainwashed.”

EVIDENCE CLINCHED IT
Jackie was finally convinced by the evidence of “a Semitic stain,” a birthmark common among Acadians and which proponents claim identifies them with their Sephardic Crypto-Jewish ancestors who fled to southern France from Spain during the Inquisition (1478-808).
The deal for the Jews fleeing to France was “change your name and convert” to the Roman Catholic faith, says Jackie.
Our so-called French ancestors who immigrated here during the 17th and 18th centuries have surnames found among census of Jews who were condemned and sought by the Inquisition, she claims.
NOTABLE NAMES
Bourque is one, as is LeBlanc, Bourgeois, Landry, Mallet, Doucet, Vienneau, Lamarche and many more.
“When the person has the name and the ‘stain’ to boot, then how can they deny their identity?” says Jackie, who has the birthmark.
“I’ve been doing my own personal research with all these names, just among the people I meet, or neighbours and, definitely, they all have either the pinkish dots in the neck at the hairline, or some browning/blackish splat on their back.
“Others have it at the waistline. I have also found some have it on their arm at the shoulder level.
“To prove my point, when I find out their names, I immediately tell them about the Semitic stain, otherwise, they could say, ‘Ah, you’re just making this up.’ “
Jackie refers us to French Sephard-im, one online source that backs this theory, located at www.geocities.com/sephardim2003/

Liberal Judaism's 'the One'

Hello Students,

 Why does the New International Version and the New King James Version add the word ‘One’ over 200 times? Why have these perversions in some verses removed the Words "God" and "Lord/LORD"?
                                    JSLI Statement of Jewish Faith

  1. We believe that the Creator is the One.
  2. We believe that there are many paths to the Creator and that all paths lead to the One.
  3. We believe with perfect faith that the One, is not a body, is free from all the properties of matter, and has not any form whatever.                                                           The textbook I wrote Which Bible Should You Use???? has the answer!
In Jesus,

“So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him.”1 Kings 19:19-21 KJV

Mass N.T. Mailings in Israel Causes Orthodox Postal Delievers to Not Deliever

"A controversy was brewing this week when a handful of postmen from the Ramat Gan suburb of Tel Aviv refused to deliver packages containing the New Testament."

"It is in fact perfectly legal in Israel to share one's faith with others unsolicited, just as different Orthodox Jewish groups often do at street corners around the country. What is illegal is offering monetary incentives for conversion or proselytizing to minors."

"There were giants in the earth in those days; ... " Genesis 6:4

 Hello Students,

"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown." Genesis 6:4
"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight." Numbers 13:33

 There is proof on the earth that giants existed!

Muslims stone Christians on Temple Mount

Israel Today Magazine

You've read the news. Now understand it.




Below are quotes from this article:

"A mob of some 50 Palestinian Muslims stoned a group of Christian tourists atop Jerusalem's Temple Mount on Sunday morning."

"Muslim religious figures regularly claim that Israel is plotting to destroy the Dome of the Rock and the Al Aqsa Mosque to pave the way for the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple, which the Muslims now insist never previously existed."

"Because of the constant threat of Muslim violence, and despite the fact that the Temple Mount is the most holy place on earth to Jews and many Christians, the Israeli police comply with Muslim demands for harsh restrictions on non-Muslim visitors to the site. For instance, Jews and Christians are forbidden to carry Bibles atop the Temple Mount or to utter even silent prayers within its walls. Jews and Christians are regularly detained for violating these conditions."

Matthew 28:1 Corrected Translation

“In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, … .” Matthew 28:1  KJV
“But late in the sabbaths, at the dawning into the first of the sabbaths, … .” LITV – Jay Green Matthew 28:1 
“And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, … ,” Young’s Literal Translation  Matthew 28:1 
“And late of the Sabbaths, at sunset, after (1519) one of the Sabbaths, ….” Bruce Klein Matthew 28:1
Ὀψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων, … .” Greek New Testament Matthew 28:1 
And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after (1519) that thou shalt cut it down. Luke 13:9 KJV
‘Both Matthew here and Luke (Luke 23:54) use dawn (epiphōskō) for the dawning of the twenty-four hour-day at sunset, not of the dawning of the twelve-hour day at sunrise.’ Robertson’s Word Pictures

Sabbath σάββατον sabbaton

Sabbath σάββατον  sabbaton
 In the King James Version, Mark 16:1-2; 16:9; Luke 18:12; John 20:1; 20:19; Acts 20:7; 1 Corinthians 16:2 the Word ‘Sabbath’ has been wrongly translated ‘week’.
What is the etymology of this word?
In the King James Version’s O.T., the Hebrew Word for ‘Sabbath’ is never translated ‘week’.
In Brenton’s translation of the Septuagint, the Greek word for ‘Sabbath’ is never translated ‘week’.
In the Jewish Publication Society’s English translation of 1917, the Hebrew word for ‘Sabbath’ is never translated ‘week’.
How does the Greek or Hebrew words for ‘Sabbath’ possibly mean ‘week’?
Is there any support for translating the word ‘Sabbath’ as a week?
Very clearly from the beginning of the Holy Bible, the word ‘Sabbath’ meant a day of rest. It never meant a week of rest. It never meant a ‘week’.
Matthew 28:1
“In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.” Matthew 28:1
Another problem with the KJV’s translation is not translating correctly the plurals of the Greek Word for ‘Sabbath’. Both are plural in the Greek. So – ‘Sabbaths’ and their wrong translation not week but ‘weeks’.
Should be translated:
“But late in the sabbaths, at the dawning into the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene and the other Mary came to gaze upon the grave.” Matthew 28:1  LITV – Jay Green              
“Ὀψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων, ἦλθε Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ ἡ ἄλλη Μαρία θεωρῆσαι τὸν τάφον.” Greek New Testament  Matthew 28:1
John 20:19
  Is it possible to have two Sabbaths in one week?
 Yes, the weekly Sabbath and the holy feast day is also called a Sabbath.
“Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.” John 20:19 KJV
