– “sacrifice at the temple” – We’ve noticed that the word “sacrifice” is often used by Christians who are taught that the sacrificial death of their Savior Jesus Christ was the New Testament version (and final one) that would end all sacrifices, supposedly prefigured by the Old Testament “sacrifices.” Yet, in the Hebrew Scriptures, the word normally used (except by Christianized translations) is “offering”. Check it out. Here are posts about the Temple Offerings:
- Numbers/Bamidbar 28-29: “Of my near-offering, my food, as my fire-offerings, my soothing savor, you are to be-in-charge, bringing-it-near to me at its appointed-time.”
- Deuteronomy/Davarim 16: “You are to slaughter the Passover-offering to YHVH your God . . .in the place that YHVH chooses to have his name dwell.”

07/13/16 – This post is only as active as there are search terms entries. This year, those entries have dwindled down to “far and few between” which means either — there are no new visitors to this website (which is not the case as our Visitor Traffic map shows) OR visitors are simply not looking for anything in particular and know how to navigate around our website. Still, we check daily and look forward to seeing search term entries, gives us a chance to know what topics we have missed addressing in our posts.
07/03/16 – “sinaite’s songs”
Every other Sabbath liturgy is “musical”, intended to be sung. As we have explained in the Introduction to those “musical liturgies”, we have loved Christian hymnody for all the decades we worshipped in Christian services. Instead of composing our own hymns from scratch, we have borrowed the music of Christian hymns but since the original lyrics do not reflect the Sinaite’s belief system, we have rewritten the lyrics. We have even added the music accompaniment for these hymns.
Here’s a whole list of our Sabbath musical liturgies, please feel free to use them for your Sabbath celebrations but if you borrow them for publication in your website or print them in your own hymnbooks, we would appreciate credit for the original lyrics we have written and of course, credit to the Christian hymn music composers:

While waiting for entry terms to land on our SiteStat, we start off with “happy July” to our website visitors! Here’s our nice quote to start off a nice new month!
