You are free to limit yourself to think that the spirit does not rule over the hearts of mankind and that is all the farther you need to go. I have faith that if the lord desires that can be changed in a moment within you.Your friends are psychotic...In your opinion?Judaism is a behavior based religion, not a faith based religion.
I believe you are in error as my friends who are Jewish who were looking to understand their own visions and dreams even knew that believing in God and the words written by the prophets was believed by faith. The ancients all walked by faith. Even Buddha walk out of his palace in faith trying to find the answers to life but many Buddhist do not know or understand that history. Perhaps you are not standing in the right place so God brought along some adversaries to get your ire up to get you or someone else to do that extreme self examination.
The spirit and history verifies both the New Testament and Old Testament for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.You asked for one verse I gave you one and put an extra in there just for good measure. You didn't like it apparently. We can put the rest of that chapter up here if you wish? Yet when we do that let's put the verses in the New Testament when Jesus talks about the Temple (meaning himself)....Humans are merely vessels, containers to hold the spirit and there isn't enough space or time to describe that all in a forum such as this without being contentious with the ignorant, the blind and the deaf so it is written in pieces and portions.You cannot pick a verse out of context.
You wouldn't do that with a book, a TV show, a movie or even your mortgage contract.
You are being intellectually dishonest.
If that is the only verse in the chapter, then e-mail the site to remove the rest of the verses.
What is a Jew? Is it not one who walks by faith?
They are both well worth reading if one is ready for it. I did not read them until I started learning and studying what all the names in the Bible meant about seven years ago. I didn't have Internet here then so I had to depend on the lexicons I had on hand and the holy spirit to tell me and explain to me what things meant.Huh? "The Book of Jasher and the Books of Enoch"
And they're not in Tanach.
In fact, there were millions of prophets whose prophecies were personal.
And by the way, Enoch became an angel.
"Hopeless", Surely not. Eventually the hook or web, net catches them sometimes it is a matter of rounding Galilee 'a circuit' a few times and some haven't been compelled to leave Egypt yet and others get stuck in Moab and do not know how to get out of there.Isaiah 48:18 Oh that thou wouldest hearken to My commandments! then would thy peace be as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea;
But of course, Christians always omit these type of verses.
Verse 16 is obviously a very humble Isaiah referring to himself as God's messenger stating that he, Isaiah, has been brutally honest with the Nation of Israel, despite delivering bad news, and will continue to be so.
But...JESUS!!!
It's hopeless.
No NT proof as the NT did not exist when Jesus was "preaching".
Even The NT does use itself to prove anything.
You know you have a problem when you have to reference the work that's referencing the original work.
Avraham walked before God and...
Chapter 18 (read the whole chapter), verse
19 For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him.'
Avraham kept the Commandments before they were given at Mount Sinai.
I do not study the commentaries of post Temple Rabbis or Jews who claim to have visions.
"Visions" are for Christians, Muslims, Buddhists and Hindus, not Jews.
Jews deal with this world.
Faith, love and awe of God are a result of studying God's universe, of which learning and applying Torah are the most essential elements.
The spirits that naturally rules over the heart is the Evil Inclination.
The Good Inclination inspires one to study and behave the way God desires us to behave.
How do we study?...Torah.
How do we behave?...Torah.
