good answer----do you know what the metaphor"Don't steal" is a metaphor for what, ring around the Rosie?
Yes I do, which has nothing to do with your task of explaining how Moses was using a metaphor for not stealing....good answer----do you know what the metaphor
"ring around the rosie....." refers to? ---- "..... a pocket full of posie..."
to answer your question-----it is a very SIMPLE two word command---"Don't steal" is a metaphor for what, ring around the Rosie?
where did you perceive that I described the commandments asYes I do, which has nothing to do with your task of explaining how Moses was using a metaphor for not stealing....
Again, what did Moses really mean?
Don't steal is a command? I thought it was a metaphor! You lied!to answer your question-----it is a very SIMPLE two word command---
(as in two words in the imperative tense) don't is a contraction
of DO NOT thus you have translated two words into three words.
The parsimony of expression is an aspect of the poetic value of
the Tanach
why did you "think" it is a metaphor? The writings INCLUDE lotsDon't steal is a command? I thought it was a metaphor! You lied!
Apparently it is to be taken literally. As in liberalism. No matzo for you.
Your a phony Rosie. You can't tell a metaphor from a matzo ball. You just go around in circles. It's a waste of time.
I'll finish this discussion by explaining to you that the Bible contains all of the figures of speech. Pray to God for the wisdom to understand which is which. You have miss out on so much knowledge by pretending that what you don't understand must be a poem. God has blinded you until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete. I hope your eyesight improves before your chance to accept Christ is gone:
Romans 11:25 I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. nd so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob.
On the contrary, it was, according to the Bible. Josephus, no doubt, has something to say about it, too, and maybe a few others.you are delirious. Your grasp of the history of Jews is pathetic. Jewish life was NEVER dependent on the Temple
Actually, Tertius wrote Romans (16:22).Paul wrote "ROMANS" He, CERTAINLY, depended on symbols
and metaphors-----he dreamed of a lizard and concluded he
should eat it. "JACOB"? I supplied you with a simple test of
mental status -----can you interpret or discuss the phrase
"do not cast your pearls before swine" ???
you got a citation for your contention that jewish life is DEPENDENTOn the contrary, it was, according to the Bible. Josephus, no doubt, has something to say about it, too, and maybe a few others.
Gentiles were grafted onto Israel’s inheritance (Rom 11:16-17). They did not return to it like a prodigal son, but simply came to it for the first time. Citizenship in the kingdom came to the Gentiles with little effort, which fueled jealousy within Israel (Rom 11:11-14).
The false teachers in the New Testament were Jewish. In his short missive, Jude alluded to the alarming number of boasters deluding the flock. He reminded his readers that the apostles warned that these scoffers would rise in the last days, and so he warned his contemporaries to excise them from the body, as they were the ones causing the division within it (17-19). The Apostle John also affirmed in no uncertain terms that false teachers had already cropped up in the world (1 Jn 4:1, 3).
False prophets and teachers had become a pox on the first-century Judeans who called on Christ, as Christ foretold. But then the temple fell and the Judaizers could no longer call on Moses.
Before the temple fell, even the new converts persisted in attending temple, as Acts 2:46 points out. It had been the center of their lives. Temple life was their culture, and losing it devastated them. The genealogical records, the ark, the altar, Aaron’s staff – all the elements in the Holy of Holies that the holy people centered their way of life around – went up in smoke. And not just the elements, but also the law and the priesthood. All of it. Judea lost its identity, the twelve tribes would soon be gone. The temple and all that surrounded it was everything to them, and that age came to an end.
They believed God dwelt in the Holy of Holies; of course their culture revolved around the temple.
ok -----so paul had a ghost writer------that's ok. In what language?Actually, Tertius wrote Romans (16:22).
Paul approved it before sending it off, certainly, but Tertius more likely incorporated most of the symbols and metaphors.
Jesus, who is one, with the Unseen Father that is in the mind of Jesus. The Father is not one person with Jesus being another person. Jesus in our mind, is Christianity.Jesus ( a jew) or the Father of Jesus, the Jewish God?? The book of Revelation is said to be wrote by John.
Rev 1
1The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him, to show his servants what must happen soon. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,a
snip
4 grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne,c 5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us* from our sins by his blood,d 6who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father, to him be glory and power forever [and ever]. Amen.
Rev 3
9Behold, I will make those of the assembly of Satan who claim to be Jews and are not, but are lying, behold I will make them come and fall prostrate at your feet, and they will realize that I love you.e
Rev 21
2 I also saw the holy city, a new Jerusalem,[a] coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

also 666 , aka known as the beast is Rome and the emperors of Rome, so actually you are describing Rome, which began the religion of Christianity. The Roman empire legalized Christianity. Without Rome you would not have Christianity.
I didn't say Jewish life is dependent on the temple. I said it was dependent on the temple. I didn't couch my post in riddles.you got a citation for your contention that jewish life is DEPENDENT
on the Temple in Jerusalem------you are wrong about that
contention and several other DECLARATIONS embodied in your
silly post The LAW AND THE PRIESTHOOD still exists TODAY.
Distinct tribes melded together long before the roman dogs arrived
on the scene and have never been "necessary" to jewish life. The
"spirit of God" poetically descends on Jerusalem or wherever without the presence of a BUILDING. King David was a jew long
before the Temple was built. I got really bad news for you-----
Jewish life still exists as does jewish scholarship-----and poetry
Klingonok -----so paul had a ghost writer------that's ok. In what language?
LEVITES IS STILL WITH US and still function as such ----can you keepI didn't say Jewish life is dependent on the temple. I said it was dependent on the temple. I didn't couch my post in riddles.
The Levitical priesthood does not exist today. Or perhaps you can find it for us.

You better keep your animal sacrifices and your death-by-stoning practices under wraps. They could land you under wraps with a new girlfriend.LEVITES IS STILL WITH US and still function as such ----can you keep
a secret-------I am a levite as are my brothers
In circles.is it written left to right or right to left?
