Shaving

It seems to me that the cutting or shaving of hair and beard is prohibited if doing it for mourning the dead.
Lev 19:27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard.
28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
Lev 21:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them, There shall none be defiled for the dead among his people:
2 But for his kin, that is near unto him, that is, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother,
3 And for his sister a virgin, that is nigh unto him, which hath had no husband; for her may he be defiled.
4 But he shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corner of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh.
2 Sam 10:4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed: and the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
How was Hanun convinced that David’s servant were spies? Well if they had full beards and no cutting it would be oblivious to a pagan that they were not honoring the dead. To show the “proper way to mourn for the dead,” they took the two men and shaved half their beards and sent them packing back to David.

My problem with Christianity is that more and more they are being told. My father preached on the pagan aspects of Christmas and Easter 50 yrs ago. Yet they go through these convoluted excuses to keep their traditions while excoriating the Jews for keeping theirs. And they refuse to even learn about the feasts, yet they insist on proclaiming prophecy like they were with John when Revelations was revealed! They are ignorant, and worse ignorant of their ignorance, but doggone proud of it! YOU CANNOT KNOW BIBLICAL PROPHECY UNLESS YOU UNDERSTAND THE FEASTS OF THE LORD! (I hope they heard that ... not that it'd do any good.) Dan C [/font][/quote] amen |

Hey that doesn't add up to 613.
I have looked at all 613 and all can be related to one of the ten commandments which in turn can be related to the two great commandments upon which every thing hangs. Another review would not be unwelcomed.

Quester,
I have been musing on the below scriptures.
Luke 5:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Zacharias and Elisabeth were blameless in there walk in the commandments and ordinances, yet all have sinned and come short.
Alon, Something that I can’t understand is, if it is wrong to write/read God’s words in Greek, then why is it okay to write/read God’s words in the Square Script borrowed from Babylon that we commonly call Hebrew? Shouldn’t God’s words only be written/read in Paleo-Hebrew in which it was originally recorded. If you think the Babylonian captivity had no affect on the Hebrew language, then why is there a month called Tammuz a pagan god and consort of Inanna/Ishtar?
Ez 8:14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.
And what do the Jews do during the month of Tammuz? They weep. I don’t think they weep for Tammuz, at least not knowingly. And main stream Christianity doesn’t worship the pagan gods that are contained in their holidays, at least not knowingly.

Yes, Yeshua moved it into that context AFTER they had asked the question ... Dan C [/font] [/quote] Okay, I am with you now. |

Luke 20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will also ask you one thing; and answer me:
4 The baptism of John, was it from heaven, or of men?
The context seems to be drawing a distinctions between the doctrines from God or from man.
I cor 3:4 For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?
5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
Ps 119:99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

I not sure how sending money to someone in drought conditions will relieve them. They can't eat the money and there is no food to buy with the money. Also it doesn't require much to "Lay by and store money", but to lay by and store food takes some effort thus they had to wait until the first of the week to do so.
Rom 12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
All of the muslims that I know have more than I, as did Hitler.

Giving to them is how you treat them. If you only give money to your brethren and not strangers, then you fall short of vs 46 & 47. You are acting no different than a publican. Truth be told I never give money to anyone. I have bought gas, groceries, dipers, etc. for total strangers as well as brethren. They are all made in the image of God.

Matt 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
The rich man serves mammon. Lazarus(Greek transliteration of Elazar or God's helper)serves God. From the beginning to the end there are two groups of people. Jesus is using the story of the rich man and Lazarus to teach that he(the one that returned from the dead) will be rejected by those who serve mammon.

Heb 8:11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
If we are all to know the Lord, why do we need someone else to teach us?

Alex, Thanks for your kind and well thought out remarks. I look forward to more input from you. [quote author=" alex" source="/post/17059/thread" timestamp="1404416875[/p] Indeed. As for cooking or serving...ha! I can just see the men in ancient days actually going to get their own food rather than being served by their wives and daughters...Not! [/quote] Gen 18:5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said. 6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth. 7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. Gen 25:29 And Jacob sod pottage: Judges 13:15 And Manoah said unto the angel of the LORD, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.I don't think food preparation was an exclusive female duty in bible days. |

All of my meals have order(seder). For someone who doesn't like exceptions/contradictions why are you allowing one for Passover. If I can cook a Passover lamb on the sabbath, then why not other meals? If you wish to move, then do so. To me the injunction of no fire has to do with work not comfort.
Ex. 35: 2 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the LORD: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death.
3 Ye shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day.
