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.

comment Are Psalms 23 and 24 both by David according to their prefixes?
לדוד can mean either "for David," or "David's." Like you, I'd go with the latter.

comment When did separation between Israel and Judah happen?
@Sergey: Can you supply a verse for further examination? The unified kingdom was known as "Israel" before the split, and there was also the individual land and tribe of "Judah." So both names existed before the split.

comment Are Psalms 23 and 24 both by David according to their prefixes?
A phrase search reveals that each occurs in numerous chapters, so both are common, and I wouldn't really think anything of it.

comment Did King Ahaz find a virgin mother?
There's no explicit use of the demonstrative adjective. It simply says הָעַלְמָה (ha-almah), "the maiden" (or "the virgin," depending on which translation you prefer). And, he is a prophet, so in theory, he could very well speak of something or someone using a definite article or even a demonstrative adjective and yet they could be unfamiliar to him. The Holy Spirit is speaking through the prophet.

comment Was the word ἐπιούσιον used prior to the Lord's prayer? What does it mean?
He didn't cite any authorities on its meaning, so are we to take his word? He simply assumed "daily" is the correct meaning and went from there. That's not how it works.

comment How can the sacrifice of one animal atone for many?
Moshe was speaking to all of Israel, so of course, it would say "your souls" rather than "your soul." The manner of atonement is that, if someone sinned, the individual brought a sin offering for himself. In other words, if I sinned, another man can't bring a sin offering for me. The person who sinned had to bring it. But, I see the confusion and will use a more apparent scripture.
