Found in a Vatican "junk box" the Sephardic Catalan Gospel of Mark, like Matthew, may very well prove the Gospels did indeed start in Hebrew. Not just because there are many Hebrewisms that "bled" through into English from the Greek manuscripts, but also because the Hebrew Mark solved a number of contradictions within the Greek manuscripts of the "New Testament". Among those, the Greek Mark claims the Gospel begins in the 1st Century while the book of Hebrews claims the Gospel began in the Wilderness with the Israelis. So which is it? Revelation says the Gospel is eternal (implying past and future)!! Christian scholars have spent volumes of books trying to explain the mental gymnastics they have done to make their Antinomian beliefs somehow fit the idea that the Gospel began in the 1st Century. But the Hebrew Mark solves all of that with ZERO justifications or mental gymnastics required. In life, the simplest solution tends to be the correct one. In matters of eternity, those which do not require human explanation tend to be the correct solutions. Hebrew Mark may very well prove to be the most important of them all because of the contradictions it resolves that were created by the Greek Manuscripts. Enjoy!! Find it HERE

In my now more than 35 years in ministry, I've learned something that really surprised me. The vast majority of believers don't want to learn. They really just want what they've chosen to believe to be affirmed. No matter how much you break down the original languages of Scripture, show the cultural norms of the day, explain the idoms/colloquialisms/word puns, detail the crossover from Hebrew Scripture to Greek Scripture (like why a certain Greek word was chosen), explain the relationships of the various persons in a given passage based on historical norms, and tons of other relevant information - a very large portion of the Body just want someone to tell them they are correct in believing something not actually supportedby the "proof texts" they use - often cimpletely out of context. They get offended when someone presents something different and the more proof offered the more vehemently they rebel against it. Why? Please stay on track... let's not let this turn into an open discussion on every topic that touches this. I'd really like it if we can narrow down some legitimate reasons beyond "Cognitive Dissonance", so we can begin creating some materials that will help overcome this massive enigma, which has become a cancer, in the Body.

Hello all, I want to encourage our Christians who may not hold to the view that Torah is for today. PLEASE don't let the difference in how we each may view Scripture prevent you from engaging on the Pro-Torah posts. We are all sharpened by a little grinding. The Pro-Torah folks need you, as their family in Christ/Yeshua. A body with missing parts isn't a complete Body. So please don't keep yourself out of our lives and discussions. While there is a lot of anger and bitterness in a lot of Torah Positive groups, this will not be one where needless and heartless comments will be tolerated. I assure you, we are watching and we expect everyone to be civil and compassionate in their exchanges. Please keep in mind that a lot of the anger and bitterness comes from being cut off and shunned by the Christian side of the family. Please don't be shy, step into some conversations. Expect the differences to be exposed, and discuss them. Even our Heavenly Father said "Come and let us reason together". Let's sharpen one another for Him, shall we? Sincerely, Tim
