Now, I do not believe that the Serpent is Lucifer/Satan. I can't find a particularly useful way of making that case.

But, despite the lack of anything concrete, the general public consensus has made the connection and effectively just states outright that "Satan is the Serpent." Is there any biblical reason to actually suspect this? Is there any real indication?

What did the ancient scholars think as a general consensus (there's always fringe groups)? What do modern scholars think as a general consensus?
Preferably with citations or references (I'll look into them myself, you don't have to actually post links). But if not, I'm still interested in hearing about it.

I wish each and all a good new year, a sweet new year. May we each and all be written for good in the book of life in the coming year.  May we have the grace, goodwill, strength, wisdom and courage to live each new day fully with love honor and integrity.

I thought this debate was presented very respectfully and provided time to each individual to respond without interruption.

Please listen to the questions and the answers. Do you believe the Hebrew bible for what it and G-d says?

Will this change your beliefs? Probably not, but if you truly have an open heart to listen carefully, it might provide some food for thought.

Here is the correct translation.

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: And the government shall be upon his shoulders: And he shall be called Wonderful Counselor of the Mighty God and Everlasting Father; (שַׂר / minister-ing) in peace.

Psalms 22:16. Unity of Scripture Commentary

Here is an example of unity of scripture. You have three witnesses, Psalms, Isaiah, and Zechariah.

Psalms 22:16. Dogs have surrounded me;
a band of evil men has encircled me,
they have pierced my hands and my feet.

Isaiah 53:5. But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,
and by his wounds we are healed.

Mourning for the One They Pierced
Zechariah 12:10. "And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced,



In the Dead Sea Scrolls.
It is very unfortunate that in the Dead Sea Scrolls, in that very place, the letter could not be read; because it was damaged in that very place. Since this scrap is dated (in accordance with the style of letters used) in 5068 CE, it is almost 1000 years earlier than the Masoretic text, and shows that in at least one of the earliest Hebrew traditions of Psalm 22, the word is not “like a lion” but they “pierced.”

The scrap from Psalm 22 found at Nachal Hever is what makes the Orthodox translation suspect of corruption.

The scroll fragment is a Pre-Christian era Hebrew. It is not disputed by scholars. There has been hanky panky on both sides of the fence, causing Gods word to be profaned by those who do not believe.

Hello,

I am hoping someone on the forum can help me with a Hebrew word processing issue, or at least explain why it occurs. I am in the process of transcribing a text in which the author wrote an equation of ש equals 300. In the original he used the = symbol. Whenever I enter this into MS Word, it immediately swaps the number and letter position, 300 = ש. I have not entered the = symbol or number using right to left encoding. Yet it also encodes the = symbol and number using right to left when it does the swap. I need the text to represent exactly what the author wrote. Could someone please explain to me why this swap is occurring, and/or if there is a way to disable it? I am on a Windows 10 system, using MS Word 365 desktop. Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Best wishes,
John

God Evolved
I am The First

Isaiah 44:6
“This is what the Lord says— Israel’s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God.

Isaiah 48:12
“Listen to me, Jacob, Israel, whom I have called: I am he; I am the first and I am the last.


The proof that God exist is in the fact that spontaneous evolution of life is not possible in this universe. God evolved, then He created. From the Subatomic and the primordial Dark Matter. A type of nothing, because it has no atomic bonds to form anything. God created gravity and gravitons to form the atomic elements of this Universe.

Dark Matter is undifferentiated material which has no atomic bonds, this would make it of no particular substance. In other words, it is Nothing. And if you are willing to accept it, it is primordial, and God's store house for creating the universe from "Nothing."

Dark Matter is accepted by the mainstream scientific community. The existence and properties of dark matter are inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, on radiation, and on the large-scale structure of the universe. The presence of dark matter in the universe, including gravitational lensing of background objects by galaxy clusters such as the Bullet Cluster, the temperature distribution of hot gas in galaxies and clusters of galaxies and, more recently, the pattern of anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background.

According to cosmologists, dark matter is composed primarily of a not yet characterized type of subatomic particle.

The belief that God created from nothing comes from the Ramban comments on Genesis: www.sefaria.org/Ramban_on_Genesis.1.1?lang=en&layout=lines&sidebarLang=all

Dark Matter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter


The missing links are missing because life did not evolve in this Universe.

Isaiah 43:10. "You are my witnesses," declares the LORD (Yahwah), "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god formed, nor will there be one after me.


The key is the word "formed." Absolutely anything that has no beginning does not exist. God says that He is the FIRST AND THE LAST. Therefore He Began. That is why His name means "Life Began."

Astronomers detect dark matter though the effect of its gravity on the path that light takes as it crosses the Universe. As light travels through a region of dark matter, its path gets distorted by gravity. Instead of taking a straight line, the light is bent back and forth depending on how much dark matter is passes through.

Astronomers can map out regions of dark matter in the sky just by looking at the distortions in the light, and then working backwards to figure out how much intervening dark matter would need to be there to cause it.

After the creation of the Universe the Earth was later created by God. Before there was a firmament it was a formless body of water. The bible does not state how much time had passed before the creation of the Earth.

God says that no god formed before Him. He also states that none will form after Him, meaning that the element to the forming is no longer available. The word "form" would not have been used if it were not a condition.

Hello, it's me; AKA CherubRam.

How is everyone, well I hope.
