  • Playtime

    “For this shall be called woman because this has been taken out of man.” Genesis 2:23 Woman – Word play is an essential part of the structure of Hebrew. We have commented time and again about the ways that Hebrew communicates without punctuation. Using the same or similar consonant structures is just one way that…

  • Traicionada

    Di, por favor, que eres mi hermana, para que me vaya bien por causa tuya, y para que yo viva gracias a ti. Génesis 12:13 Gracias a Ti – No es la mejor hora de Abraham ¿no crees? Su esposa, Saraí, es bella y deseable. Esto es un problema. Teme que hombres lo maten por…

  • Ley y Gracia: Explicando la Diferencia

    Hoy recibí una solicitud apasionada por que explicara el porqué mi enseñanza sobre la ley y la gracia causaba consecuencias tan terribles a una persona en particular. La solicitud venía acompañada por un artículo por Dan Corner titulado “Mortal Galatanismo Reintroducido.” Con una construcción gramatical tan sorprendente, simplemente tuve que ver. Desafortunadamente, la mala interpretación…

  • Further comment on Law and Grace

    Part 2:  (Please read the initial discussion of Mr. Corner’s mistaken view of Galatians) Mr. Corner goes on to say: One of their actual deceptive web sites that stresses the importance of the Torah for us today declared the following: “Since the Bible was written by Hebrews, it is critical to understand their ancient culture…

  • Law and Grace: Getting The Difference Straight

    Today I received an passionate request to explain why my teaching about law and grace was causing such terrible consequences for a particular person.  Accompanying this request was an article by Dan Corner titled “Deadly Galatianism Reintroduced.”  With an English construction like that, I just had to take a look.  Unfortunately, Mr. Corner’s misunderstanding of…

  • Nails

    but one who has been tempted in all things as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:15 Has Been Tempted – Nails weren’t customary. Did you know that? Most criminals were not nailed to a cross. They were simply tied to the post. Death by crucifixion did not occur because of the torture of nailing…

  • Clavos

    sino uno que ha sido tentado en todo como nosotros, pero sin pecado. Hebreos 4:15 Ha Sido Tentado – Los clavos no son usuales. ¿Lo sabías? La mayoría de los criminales no son clavados a una cruz. Solo eran atados a un poste. La muerte por crucifixión no sucedía por la tortura de la clavada…

  • Graduate Degree

    “I have finished the work which You gave me to do.” John 17:4 Finished – I love Oswald Chambers’ work. Years before most of us had any idea about the Hebrew worldview, God’s spirit of insight and wisdom invaded this man’s consciousness. He speaks like a rabbi. His articulations of biblical truth resound with Hebrew…

  • Man As Metaphor

    And God said, “Let us make man in our image; according to our likeness.” Genesis 1:26 According To Our Likeness – De’mut is the Hebrew word translated “likeness.” It is a feminine noun. Tselem, the word for “image,” is a masculine noun. The text makes it quite clear that both words apply to the God-carrying,…

  • Quién Da La Orden/ Quién La Recibe

    Y dijo Dios: Hagamos al hombre a nuestra imagen, conforme a nuestra semejanza; Génesis 1:26 A Nuestra Imagen – ¿Qué significa el relato de Génesis cuando dice que los seres humanos fueron hechos a la imagen de Dios? La pregunta ciertamente ha permanecido al frente de innumerables tratados teológicos. A través de los siglos, la…
