Blog 204. The Enemy of Good is Perfect
Isn’t it interesting how the life we lead serves to teach us what is laid out in Scripture? I have also pointed out before how I love it when new scientific discoveries confirm what was written in Scripture thousands of years ago. In my lifetime, I have lived (and continue to live) many different “chapters.” …
Blog 203. Garden Consequences?
(First, please forgive all of the highlights and note symbols in the Scripture screenshots. They have been done over the years with various studies and do not pertain to the current discussion.) Next, please look simply at the way that the Bible translators have structured the text in the English translations versus the format in …

In case not, refer to the movie “What About Bob.” In order to make progress in the way of YHWH, we must do it s-l-o-w-l-y.

Blog 201. When is משפט Justice and When Judgment?

Many times in what I have shared previously, using BDB as the basis for the more literal translations, I have used “judgment” when it felt uncomfortable to …

Blog 198. Prescription
We Are Each Created As Individuals with our own specific Genetics and our own specific Background I really appreciate the word used in translation as “prescription,” (you will see below at ◆) with my medical background. God, as the great Physician (see Exodus 15:26, Psalm 103:1-3, and Mark 2:17), has an individualized “prescription” for each of us. That “prescription” is God’s purpose/intent for …

I have followed the “rule” of excluding the …
