Rodney, I have had computer problems past two months–off and on–back and forth. Lost lots of my valuabl files, but found one of Skips and a comment from you, went to your web site trying to see if I could restore e-mails addresses.
As usual I read your entire article, and was greatly blessed by your writing. So clear even for a laywoman 78 years old. ! Thanks,
Also, I am going to try and send this Post to my e-mail to share with some dear ones. Hope that works. —-Thanks to God for your life and those with you in Australia. L.B.

Enjoyed that video, thanks for sharing. Just reading a book now by Clay Trumbull about ancient blood covenants, and the Rabbi’s comments tie in very nicely.

Comment on A message from the third-greatest Torah teacher of all time Part 1 by Rodney

Hi John – Welcome. Perhaps you would care to elaborate. The post was about looking at 1 Corinthians 10:25-26 in context, instead of ignoring the context and forming an entire doctrine based on something that was never intended or implied in the text. I’m not sure exactly what that has to do with 2 Peter 3:15-16, especially when you again consider these verses in context instead of treating them as statements in isolation (remembering that Peter was writing a letter, with no artificial divisions of chapter and verse, as indeed was Paul).

Feel free to explain further what you mean.

You wrote,
Paul was the greatest Torah teacher of his generation (with the obvious exception of Yeshua Himself). You’ll always twist and misinterpret his writings until you study and begin to understand Torah.

That is a misunderstanding of 2Peter3:15
20 minutes with someone with a rational mind will clarify this and the message you have written.
This is more important than you can imagine.

I LOVE the Blue Letter Bible! I was using it for quite a while before I heard Skip recommend it… I just didn’t realize the full usage of the tool I had. Good stuff!

Hi Wendy – great to hear from you. Regarding Bible versions, I’m starting to quite like the ESV (English Standard Version) but it is not the only one I refer to by any means. Sometimes comparing different versions can shed new light on a verse, other times it is not so helpful. Stick with one you’re comfortable reading every day (but perhaps have others to compare to if you think you need to). I usually compare with the KJV (still my favourite in most cases. although it can be hard to read), the NKJV and the NASB.

If you’re really serious about going deeper into studying the word, a good Hebrew and Greek interlinear (esp. one that has the transliterated Hebrew/Greek texts) should be on the list. Then you need a good Bible dictionary (a Strong’s concordance in most cases won’t cut it) and Lexicon, and some idea of how to use them effectively. Jeff A. Benner’s Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible is a good one, but you need to read Hebrew to use it effectively (which I’m still but in the early stages of learning). It is much easier to use in electronic form e.g. it is available as a module for e-sword).

You can do most of that, though, with a fantastic online resource called Blue Letter Bible. Thanks Skip for introducing me to that one.

Doing the word studies to find the original language roots can be hard work and I’m very definitely only a beginner at this stuff. I’ve learned plenty from Dr Skip Moen over the last few months (in fact, it was you who introduced me to him at Carly’s wedding – thankyou!). If you want to learn how to do it effectively, listen to Skip’s audio series on hermeneutics. It can be hard going, especially if you’re not a Masters’ of Divinity post-grad student (which I’m definitely not) but it’s worth the effort.

I’d also suggest getting hold of some good, solid weekly Torah teaching, like that done by Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries. Their weekly Shabbat services are streamed online and can be downloaded for a couple of weeks afterwards.

Regarding choosing a fellowship place, the most important thing is to be where God calls you to be, with other like minded believers who are walking the same journey. It really is up to each of us to be where God has called us to be. Obedience is key to our usefulness in the kingdom (more on that in another post soon).

Blessings,
Rodney.
