What is my religious affiliation?
I am Jewish by birth (this is not the religious affiliation), Christian by faith (this is the religious affiliation). Very simple.

Is “kill” a valid translation for Exodus 20:13 (Thou shalt not kill)? Actually, the KJV uses both "kill" and "murder" in reference to Exo. 20:13. The LXX of Exo. 20:13 has οὐ φονεύσεις, and Matt. 19:18, quoting the Ten Commandments, also has οὐ φονεύσεις. But, instead of "Thou shalt not kill," the KJV translated it as "Thou shalt do no murder." |

What are the Pharisees saying to search in John 7:52? They were also wrong. Yona was from Galil, and some also say, Eliyahu. |

What are the earliest dated Syriac manuscripts of the Bible? @konwayk: "I know where it is. But I am not going to tell you." --- Is that seriously your attitude? |

What is the status of the Law in the Messianic Age? I don't think we'll agree. lol :) We Christians await his second advent, because it will be better, but that does not mean we're not living in the days of the Messiah which, at least I believe began with the first advent of Jesus Christ. The restitution of the world is a process, not an instanteous event. |

What is the status of the Law in the Messianic Age? @Monica Cellio: Jesus: "My kingdom is not of this world" (John 18:36). The Maharal of Prague wrote, ואיך יהיה המשיח בעולם הזה שהוא עולם גמשי שכל ענין המשיח הוא אלהי לא גמשי, that is, "And how will the Messiah be in this world which is a carnal world since every business of the Messiah is divine and not carnal?" (Maharal, Netzach Yisra'el, Jerusalem ed. 1964, Ch. 42, p. 172). And, what does "lions lying down with lambs" really mean? You're not insisting that Jewish commentaries are harmonious in their interpretation of that passage, are you? Maybe we should make a ? about that passage. |

What is the status of the Law in the Messianic Age? @Monica Cellio: The Messianic age has arrived, for Christians. The apostles believed they were living "in the last days" (be'acharit ha-yamim), and Kimchi says that the last days refers to the days of the Messiah. |

Genesis 23 — Why does the Bible change the spelling of Ephron's name? I'm familiar with Akiva's reasoning. Doesn't necessarily mean it's valid. But, to each his own. I guess it all makes for interesting midrash. |

Genesis 23 — Why does the Bible change the spelling of Ephron's name? I personally wouldn't think anything of it. I mean, sometimes "David" is spelled with the yod (דויד), and sometimes without it (דוד). And, yod is a mater lectionis just like vav. |
