Not for April Fools

[UPDATE 2017:  This monthly “aid” for searchers has been replaced first by “Yo Searchers!  Need Help?”  Then to use a word closer to our cultural Filipino/Tagalog word for strangers, we resorted to “Hoy” shortened to “Oy!”  And it  became — “Oy Searchers!  Need Help?” for every month of every year.  The original intention was to help web visitors find the topic (search term) they entered that made them land on many websites including this website.

Rather than figuring out a witty title for every month such as–

we resorted to a uniform title after running out of ideas and confusing searchers.  It is not surprising the visitors still click this link in past years, there is much to learn from answers provided to past searches.  Go check!—Admin1]

4/7 “what does uncircumcised lips mean” – Exodus/Shemoth 6-b: Do you have “uncircumcised lips”?

4/7 “new testament vengeful god statements” – This is a strange mix — new testament and vengeful god, normally the latter is associated with old testament; nevertheless, here are articles that clear up the wrong impression: Is our God a “jealous, wrathful, and a vengeful God”? – 2

——————————————-
4/6 “ha-satan” – Is God the author of “evil”?

4/6 “what’s in a name bible study” –  What’s in a name? Another bible study!

4/6  “egypt and the sinai and peniel” – 

4/6 “meaning moses man uncircumcized lips exodus 6:30″ – Searchers are fascinated with that phrase “uncircumcised lips”; Exodus/Shemoth 6-b: Do you have “uncircumcised lips”?

4/6 “yhvh stop create sabbath” – This searcher probably means YHWH stopped creating to rest on the Sabbath and he/she would be correct according to the Bereshiyth creation week account.  There are enough posts here about the Sabbath, please go to Update Site Contents and go through the list.

4/6 “shemoth” – This is the Hebrew title for the second book in the Torah, 5 books that record the words of YHWH as given to His mediator Moshe.  Christians are familiar with the Greek title “Exodus”; as serious students of God’s word it is time we learn the original Hebrew word and meaning of the titles.  This is the first step for any serious student of TNK.

4/6 “hebrew scriptures” – The Hebrew Scriptures are ‘stand alone’ and not a prequel to another Scripture the teaching of which is ALIEN and runs counter to it.  Do not ever confuse the Hebrew Scriptures with the “Old Testament” of the Christian Bible. Get yourself an English translation done by Jews, not Christians. There are two recommended in this website:  the ArtScroll Tanach, but better yet, His Name Tanakh by Benmara of hearoyisrael.net, the latter costs you nothing but a visit to the website and a free download on your computer.  What translator spends 20 years working and then gives it away for free? Only a special person touched by YHWH who wishes only that others would be familiar with the True God and His self-revealed Name.

4/6 “Isaiah 48:16 is not talking about yahshua” – If you read the whole of Isaiah, not just one verse that is handpicked to be a “prooftext” supposedly pointing prophetically to the Christian ‘messiah’, you will easily identify who is speaking, Who is being spoken for, who is being addressed, who is being referred to as “servant”, who is “My” and “Me”, and so on.  Reading has simple rules, so simply follow those rules . .  without infusing extraneous material that do not belong to the text and the whole context of the book. This is the problem with “prooftexts” taken out of context.  If you really wish to know the True God better, drop everything you’ve been previously taught and start over . . . in Bereshiyth. Please check out one of our links Jewish Isaiah 53 if you wish to know how to read the book of Yesha’yahuw.

4/6 ” images uncircumcises lips” – We do not have “images” of “uncircumcised” lips since this is more a metaphor in the biblical text, meaning “unclean” or “impure” or “fleshly”.  Interestingly, this is probably the most frequent search term entered by web visitors; it seems to fascinate many that lips could be “uncircumcised”.  In Hebrew this would be called “lashon hara” or impure speech, sins of the tongue; how many are guilty of this?  For the biblical reference, please go to; Exodus/Shemoth 6-b: Do you have “uncircumcised lips”?

4/6  “is there true justice in this world” – Is there true justice on earth?

4/5 “design moses tabernacle” – Exodus/Shemoth 25 – “Make me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them

———————————————————————-

4/4 “what is the word most commonly used in the hebrew scriptures to refer to ‘null gods’ or ‘non-gods’?” – The English word “Idol” is a non-god; HNT/Benmara uses ‘elohiym for “god” (any non-god) and the upper case ‘Elohiym for YHWH, the One True God.

4/4 “orthonymous” – Bart D. Ehrman – Must Read: Misquoting Jesus

4/4 “irony in book of exodus” – Dramatic Ironies in the Book of Exodus

4/4 “what is the heavenly court in job” – Ha Satan in YHVH’s Heavenly Court?

4/4 “ernest van den haag” – MUST READ – The Jewish Mystique by Ernest Van Den Haag

4/4 “http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:http://beta.scxserv.com/sinai_old/2012/08/02/qa-1-samuel-281-25-benmara-on-the-witch-of-endor/” – Q&A: 1 Samuel 28:1-25: Benmara on the “Witch of Endor”

—————————————————-

4/3 “why does the book of job seem repetitive” – If you’re referring to the exchange between YHWH and the adversary “ha satan”, it is a literary device used by the author to emphasize the exchanges between the two characters in the book, where you get insights about both and their relationship with each other; if you didn’t notice it the first time, you will definitely notice — or you should anyway — by the 3rd repetition, as ha satan is given permission to add to the woes of Job within the limits set from the very first conversation.

4/3 “his name tanakh about” – “HNT” or “His Name Tanakh” is an English translation of the Hebrew Scriptures undertaken by Benmara of hearoyisrael.net., a one-man project of 20 years.  He is on his 8.0 revision and still working on perfecting it for a final edition. The uniqueness of this translation is the printing of the Name YHWH in Hebrew letters, the Tetragrammaton which Hebrew Bibles do not print and instead substitute “HaShem” or “The Name” as AST/Artscroll Tanach does.  For this reason, HNT is the translation we prefer to quote from in the articles in this website; where the translated text is unclear or difficult to comprehend, we supplement from AST.  HNT is a free download in the translator’s website [http://hearoyisrael.net/hisname/his-name-tanakh.html]; please read his instructions or Translator’s notes when you do so.

4/3 “is the vengeful god of moses the same loving god of jesus” – The “god of moses” is YHWH; the “loving god of Jesus” is most likely YHWH too, since Jesus was a Jew who worshipped the God of Israel and as such was Torah-observant. Please read the entry in 4/2 for further clarification.

4/3  “a vengeful god”/”our god is a vengeful god” – please see 4/2 entry, just below this one.

4/3  “what is the difference between exodus god and the sermon on the mount” – The Sermon on Sinai vs. The Sermon on the Mount

4/2  “did jesus whip himself in last temptation of the christ” – Tempted by ‘The Last Temptation of Christ’? Kazantzakis’ Jesus: “Salvation cannot be founded on lies.”

4/1 Entries:

  • ilya schor , the tree,meaning of the hebrew letters”
  • ilya schor , the tree of life , the sabbath,meaning of the hebrew letters”
  • ilya schor painting the tree of life, what is the meaning of the hebrew letters on the tree”

At first these 3 entries didn’t make sense but since the searcher kept amplifying his/her search terms, the light-bulb turned on and pointed to a photo featured on the article on The Sabbath, featuring Abraham Joshua Heschel’s Prologue/Epilogue. We missed seeing the details that this searcher saw when he evidently scrutinized the art illustration and discovered the Hebrew alphabets in the almond buds at the top of the 7-branched Tree of Life that was designed like a Menorah.  The answer for this is being researched, and will be posted in a sequel, either here or, if long, in a separate article.

—————————————————–

[It’s April. Already? When we added this feature to direct searchers using specific terms to the article that might best answer specific questions, we had intended it to be an ‘aid’  . . .  only to discover we ourselves were benefitting just as much because we were being educated about the minds of other Truth-seekers who do land in this website.  There are so many out there much like ourselves far more than ‘zero’ among our family/friends/Christian circles who distance themselves from what they think is just another “religious cult” that will fizzle out when our generation pass on. This website is reaching–and hopefully educating– ‘strangers’ out there and the only clues we have about each are —

  • where he/she’s from
  • what time/date did he/she visit,
  • and of course, what specifically was he/she looking for.  

The biggest surprise was that visitors do return and return, remembering titles and details of articles posted, rereading them, possibly seriously studying and hopefully checking out facts presented to their own satisfaction. We also discovered what interests our readers most are the articles showing the most number of ‘clicks’, probably according to the provocative ‘title’ of the article. Hopefully they were satisfied and if not, they were provoked to thinking seriously and asking more questions as all seekers should do (so sorry, our FORUM just doesn’t seem to work!). The statistics are so gratifying and definitely encouraging for our S6K to continue providing what we’ve discovered is interesting to indefatigableTruth-seekers like ourselves but who have no access to resources we have collected in our virtual library. Please remember that we are all ON THE WAY, none of us have not arrived and probably never will on this temporal side of life.  As far as YHWH’s Truth that He has revealed, there is much to study and never a lifetime enough!  We are grateful to the custodians of Israel’s Scriptures and Jewish TNK scholars today who help clear the fog for beginner-gentiles. The resources we share are often interpreted with a newer and fresher approach relevant to our times and our respective cultures, but faithful to Scripture, for as much as we are able to understand from the English rendering of the Hebrew text. For those who embark on this same journey, Sinaites are ‘pilgrims’ just farther ahead of others,  leaving clues and aids for those behind who have already found this path we call the Way to YHWH’s revelation on Sinai.  These search entries are in themselves precious to us because they indirectly prod us to do more homework, not quite satisfied with the post, or perhaps it led to more questions left unanswered. Reminder:  we have reversed the order, most recent entry first, older last.–Admin1@S6K]
