@Alif Balaam Yashin - Could you please tell me from where you copied and pasted the Hebrew of Isaiah 14:12. I'd like to know who transliterated into the Hebrew "Lucifer".

You have used verse translation from what calls itself "The Orthodox Jewish Bible." Don't be fooled by the name. It is not Jewish and it is decidedly not Orthodox. It is dishonest in its intention. Those responsible for it should be ashamed. You can probably guess that I am not exactly a fan of it.

@moralorel - A quick web search seems to indicate that there is no consensus on the peppered moth, which is contrary to your assertion. Do you perchance have cites to some sources?

A Freeman has touted the King of Kings version of the Bible as the complete and accurate translation of scripture. Putting aside for the moment that such claim is false, at least as far as Hebrew scripture is concerned, you should check out the website of the person or organization behind that...

Us, who? You forget, perhaps, that this is not a Christian forum nor even the Christian subforum.

Welcome to the asylum….. I mean forum.

The OP has been posting this thread over the last little while on several other forums. Some folk have been reluctant to download the material, others have downloaded without ill effect, although the folks who have examined the material have not been impressed.

@otherbrother - Could you further explain your meaning of “the dynamic thing we do to cope unbelievably well at times”? I’m trying to ascertain the extent to which we agree or disagree as to the meaning of “faith”.

@rstrats has been seeking an answer to this here, and many other forums, for years. Sort of a modern era Diogenes. He started this thread over 11 years ago. On another forum I provided him with some information from Jewish sources, however they were not contemporaneous with to the writing of...

When someone, angry about events in the Middle East, decides that the way to express that anger is to deface and destroy the mezuzas on the doorposts of a synagogue in the United States, that moves the needle off the political mark on the scale and onto the religious. When someone, angry about...

That wasn't the point of my comment. At this point I think we can agree with Princess Elsa and "Let it go."

1) Anything my sister cooked. 2) Anything my sister cooks... because if she were still cooking it would mean I hadn't lost her way before her time. 3) Yes, I'd have a problem. I don't eat treife... but you knew that. 4) Yes, I do. I've never seen my plate tip over. 5) I'm an omnivore, but I'd...

Lest I forget, I wish all who celebrate Christmas a joyous holiday.

@TheLightWithin @Faithfulservant - You folks basically nailed it. Thank you.

I have a wonderful wife, wonderful kids and three, you guessed it, wonderful grandchildren. Earlier in my life, remember I entered the rabbinate at an age when many rabbis are close to retirement, I found myself in situations where I stopped two men from taking their own lives. I would not want...

I'm trying to come up with something that will be clearer to you as to my point. In the interim, if anybody believes they understand what it is I am trying to say, please feel free to jump in.

This is not one of those questions that can be answered in a 25 words or less manner. I think you appreciate that.

I am an American. There have been times when my country, its government and/or individuals in positions of power and responsibility have acted in ways that I have believed to be irresponsible and misuses of power. I have, at those times, spoken out and worked to correct what I have perceived as...

Sunrise and sunset describe two daily events in the way that they visually appear to happen. I don't have a problem with using that terminology, but it does not accurately reflect the reality of what is actually occurring at those moments. With that in mind do you have a clearer idea of what I...
