A Source of Shared Beliefs and Values for Christians, Jews, and American Citizens.

  I do not believe that members of those Christian groups believe “God visits the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations.” I also believe that Christians want to do what Jesus taught! So let’s begin there. The Jesus who lived and taught in Jerusalem, Judea, and the Galilee began his movement with these words. “Turn! The Kingdom of Elohim is here!” The Jewish members of the audience knew Jesus was referring to Exodus 18:20-30.

Questions for Accurately Discussing Beliefs Related to the Ten Commandments

  We now know the word “ Ten Commandments ” do not appear in the Hebrew text of the Torah Scroll ( Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, or Deuteronomy ). English translators should have translated the Hebrew words “ Ten DEVARIM ” as “ Ten Words ” or “ Ten Legal Sayings .” Question 1 : How would you discuss this information with others? Does knowing the words are “legal sayings” instead of “commandments” change the way you view them?

The Second Set of Stone Tablets that Most People Know Nothing About

  And Yahweh said: “Behold,  I make a covenant . Before all your people I will do marvels such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you  are  shall see the work of Yahweh. For it  is  an awesome thing that I will do with you. Observe what I command you this day.

Moses Threw the Writings of Elohim at the People

  When Moses went up on the mountain, the cloud covered it, and the glory of Yahweh settled on Mount Sinai. For six days the cloud covered the mountain, and on the seventh day Yahweh called to Moses from within the cloud. Moses entered the cloud as he went on up the mountain. And he stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights . . . The tablets were the work of Elohim; the writing was the writing of Elohim, engraved on the tablets.

Is the Exodus 20 Story About the Ten Commandments?

  In Texas, the Ten Commandments are in the spotlight again. A 2025 law in the state of Texas that requires all public schools in the state to include the Ten Commandments in the classroom. This is a great opportunity for us to demonstrate the benefits of Exploring the Bible and Biblical Heritages. The Ten Commandments are not as polarizing as Bible verses linked to other Christian and Jewish beliefs. I will use the Hebrew words “ Elohim ” and “ Yahweh ” instead of the standard English translations “ God ” and “ LORD .” Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/5d1bf9307256/is-the-exodus-20-story-about-the-ten-commandments

How to Build Fences Around Anger

  The Bible’s Wisdom of the Beginnings is found in the Torah scroll . The wisdom contained in this scroll speaks to families universally . One of the greatest teachers of this ancient family wisdom was Jesus. He only taught for between one and three years. He wrote nothing down, yet his teachings continued to be passed down orally and later written down. Now we are learning from them today. I believe you will understand how this wisdom about dealing with anger could benefit many people today! Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/093ff1ea5d85/how-to-build-fences-around-anger
