Making Sense out of Scripture
Recently, I was asked a question about the Story regarding Jephthah and his daughter in Judges 11. Well, as tragic as it was, what are some lessons we can learn from this story? Here was my response. Enjoy! I was asked by ** if I would consider answering your questions regarding the story of Yiptach (Yeeptach)…

Jewish Vs. Greek Mindset
Recently, on the new Aviv Moon Network, I was asked a question about Satan. Well, after I responded, I didn’t expect to see so many comments, both good and bad. Some were encouraging, while others were insightful. And, I’m sure there’ll be more to come. Now, although I consider myself a Netzari Jew (A Jew…

Yeshua: the Alef and Tav (Part III)
In the last two blogs I mentioned the importance of the ta in the Hebrew texts. Again, the ta (pronounced “et”) is not translated. If you were to look at almost every interlinear text, which is a word-for-word transliteration from Hebrew to English, you would see that in almost every instance (not all), the ta…

Yeshua: The Alef and Tav, (Part II)
In Part One I promised that I would tell you why my (AB Version) translation of Bereshit (Genesis) 1:1 was the most accurate translation known to mankind. . . . Yes, I know it is a major claim, and I know I am in danger of being labeled a lunatic; however, what is biblical scholarship…

The Time Is Short
How many times have we heard preachers and religious sects shout from the roof tops that the end of the world is near? Well, I don’t know about you, but I hear it a lot. Therefore, since it has been a long time since I have added a blog, I thought it would be appropriate…

Why Am I Against Tradition?
I need to make some critical points regarding my usage of the Word TRADITION. In my two previous blogs, it appears that I absolutely hate tradition. This is not the case. What I do hate, however, is man-made traditions that contradict the Word of YHVH. Some man-made traditions are fine. (e.g., washing your hands before…

The Name of God
Have we gone astray from blessing people and using God’s name appropriately and correctly? The Tanakh (Hebrew Scriptures) lists the Ten Commandments (Torah–instructions of God) in the book of Deuteronomy (D’varim) chapter 5. The third commandment states, “You shall not take the Name of HASHEM, your God, in vain, for HASHEM will not absolve anyone…
