The Real Yeshua

  My two previous emails were about Creating Peace and Creating Transparency . Transparency is an important factor in being a Peace Maker . Having successful discussions is very important too. We explored 2 Timothy 3:16-17 – “ 16  All Scripture  is given by inspiration of God . . . .” and discovered that “ Scripture ” did not mean “Christian Bible.” Another good discussion to have is about Genesis 1:1.

  We are living in an AI driven echo chamber that constantly streams opposing positions through corporate and social media. The result is increasing hopelessness and helplessness in the minds of people immersed in those information streams. Clearly the sources of these conflicting streams of information are political parties, human rights groups, and religious groups. A common polarization generator is opposing positions in which words found in Christian and Jewish Scriptures are presented as proof they are both right.

  Now let’s turn our attention to “ the first truth claim in the Bible .” It is linked to a Hebrew word to Genesis 1:1 – “ In the beginning Elohim created the skies and the earth.” Unless you know the difference between translation and transliteration, you will never be able to see it. This email with show you the differences. Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/761796291174/discovering-the-first-truth-claim-in-the-bible

  Did you know that the first story in Genesis is about “ The Creation of the Creator’s Temple and Kingdom ?” How did we discover this? We have many new subscribers to this educational email list, so I want to quickly answer the question. We explore the Bible. Exploring and studying are two important but different activities. Members of Bible study groups usually belong to the same religious group, and they hold many of the same beliefs and meanings of stories in the Bible.
