and who hold fast to my covenant-

The Creation Days 1 through 6, in the text explicitly concludes with the phrase, "And there was evening, and there was morning." The seventh day completely lacks this phrase. In biblical theology, this implies that the Seventh Day represents an ongoing state, until the divine rest and harmony that the Elect is meant to share.
Psalm 95:11
So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

This is how I know Genesis 1 is written as a parable. The creation days are Epochs of time. A full day traditionally is from sundown to sundown, because the world began in darkness. And this is what the scriptures say:
Gen 1:5. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

From evening to morning is half of a day. That means that God is not done creating.

A little about my background. I was raised in a very oppressive, abusive, 'Christian' environment. I was once backhanded across the face for the audacity to question an almighty God, and what was being forced upon me. It really didn't make sense, even as a lad. Ever since then I have read and studied many religions, tho I am no theologian by any stretch of the imagination. I am just a man who reads prolifically, searching for what I call, the truth trifecta. The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Truth, when you can find it, is great, but practically useless unless bolstered by the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Of the religions I have studied, I am embarrassed to say Judaism hasn't been one of them. So, please keep my religious background in mind during this discussion. RabiO commented on the length of my comments to him and searchinmyroots. Brevity is not an attribute that I possess. Mainly because it is quite difficult to express these things that trouble me in a few short sentences. I do beg of your patience in this matter. Being retired, I realize I probably have the most amount of disposable time than others. So, I do not make any demands on the immediacy of your replies and comments. 

I will return shortly to begin this discussion. At the moment, I am trying desperately to pass a kidney stone, and am in a lot of pain as anyone who has done so can attest. However, I wanted to get the ball rolling, as it were.

Even tho I am an unbeliever, I have studied many religions: Mormonism, Taoism, Jainism, Buddhism. Four years ago I finished reading the Quran. I do not mention this in an attempt to show my vast religious intellect, but rather to give an idea of how far I have sought answers to my questions. I am most familiar with the Judaeo-Christian beliefs and that is where I would like to center this discussion. 

I realize, being on the internet, this forum must surely get a lot of cranks who just want to agitate and cause disruption. This is not my intent. This is a long discussion and I need someone, perhaps a Rabi, who is patient. I have many, many troubling questions. I beg of your patience.

I have written well over 500 emails to churches and synagogues in my area begging to discuss these things which weigh heavy on my mind. I have contacted many Christian forums, only to be met with resistance. It seems Christians, who say they know the way, who were commanded to go into all the world and preach the gospel, immediately take questioning to be a personal affront. This is not my intent at all. In fact, God commanded us to question. 

1 John 4:1: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Isaiah 1:18: Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD.

My questions center around these topics:
  • Foreknowledge: God knew everything that would happen and created it anyway
  • Determination: Infallible foreknowledge means the future is fixed; free will is illusory
  • Design: Humans are punished for functioning as designed
  • Proportionality: Eternal punishment for finite, biologically driven infractions
  • Epistemology: Faith is non-distinguishing and unverifiable; This is crucial. Belief is conviction. Knowledge requires evidence
  • Geography: Religious belief is determined by birthplace, not truth

If some patient Rabi, or knowledgeable person could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

From what I understand, the way it is written in the Hebrew bible, it confirms the role of the Jewish nation as described in many places to be a witness to the nations.

From what I understand, the way it is written in the Hebrew bible, it confirms the role of the Jewish nation as described in many places to be a witness to the nations. There are 2 letters that are written enlarged. One, the last letter of the first word Shema, the other, the last letter of the word Echad. Those 2 letters together form the Hebrew word "witness".

What actions is G-d referring to?

May there be a secret word connection that refers to something Rachel did at one time?

There seems to be, and the connection concerns Leah's son Yissachar.

Is there a lesson here to be learned for us?]]>

Or: Al-Taqiyya.]]> https://www.thehebrewcafe.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1843 Fri, 17 Jul 2026 03:53:17 -0700 JudaicChristian]]> https://www.thehebrewcafe.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=1843 Islamic Deception Al-Takeyya. Or: Al-Taqiyya.
In Islam, lying or omissions for the 'greater good,' according to a strict or radical Islamic philosophy is not only acceptable, but it is a holy and blessed work. It is called "Al-Takeyya. Or. Al-Taqiyya. It is a strategy outlined in the Hadiths and supported by various interpretations of some of the Suras in the Koran.
Al-Takeyya is a policy whereby a Muslim may lie, deceive or omit critical truths if it promotes the spreading of Islam, and the conquest of the Non-Muslim world.
According to William P. Welty, Ph.D., "Al-Takeyya / Taqiyya is:
"The Islamic principle of lying for the sake of Allah. Falsehoods told to prevent denigration of Islam, to protect oneself, or to promote the cause of Islam are sanctioned by the Qur'an, including lying under penalty of perjury in testimony before the United States Congress, lying or making distorted statements to the media such as claiming that Islam is a religion of peace and deceiving fellow Muslims when the one lying has deemed them to be apostates."
Definition from an Islamic encyclopedia:
"The word "Al-Taqiyya" literally means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and / or strategies..."
In radical Islam, any Jew living in Israel is not considered innocent nor a civilian. Nor were the people living and working in America on 9-11. Islamists consider the "Great Satan -- America," and the "Little Satan -- Israel," to be enemy combatants. And this includes every man, woman or child, even babies. This includes any and all who are not Islamists and who oppose being forced to kneel down and pay homage to Allah. In particular, Christians whom they call "Crusaders", and also the Jews.
Muslims see America as naive, and its people ripe for deceit and murder in the name of Allah.
A Muslim thinks from the first moment that he lies that he is honouring Allah, and putting one over on the infidel, which he is directed to do.
"and [they] deceived and Allah deceived and Allah is the best of deceivers" Sura 3:54
So then, lies and deception is a part of the Muslim religion! That would mean that they are beyond reason, and beyond redemption; totally lacking in any redeeming qualities, making themselves of a very low moral grade.
In regards to the Palestinians.
The Palestinians were of Greek ancestry. The Philistines came to the land of Canaan from Caphtor and other western coastlands. Caphtor is now called Crete and the people are called Cretans. They made war against the Canaanites for their land to establish Palestine. The Palestinian people were not, and are not, of Arab ancestry. The Arab people who now live in Israel want to reclaim Palestine, saying that they are the Palestinians is not true. What is true is that they are Arabs who wish to reclaim Canaanite land. Note: See Jeremiah 47:4 and Amos 9:7. The Philistines invaded Canaan about 1400 B.C. Hebrew settlement of Canaan was about 1200 B.C. At a later date the Canaanites became an Arabic tribe.
Meaning of the word Islam.
Islam is an Arabic word that means "submission or submit" (to Allah). It has a relationship to another Arabic word, such as Salaam, meaning "peace". The Arabic word "Muslim" is related to the word Islam and means a "vassal" of Allah, and is whom has surrendered and submitted (to Allah).
Muslims see homage to Allah as a sign of distinction; paying homage means serving the will of Allah above and beyond one's own goals. The Arabic word "Islam" simply means "submission", and is derived from the word meaning "peace."
In a religious context it simply means submit to the will of Allah. And so Islam means “submission” not “peace". It is frequently said that the word Islam means “peace.” It does not. Islam is the Arabic word for "submission." The Arabic word for “peace” is transliterated as salam or salaam.
In Arabic, as in English, these are distinctly different words.
It is their religion to destroy other nations to establish Islam. The politicians just do not get it. When the Muslims have established themselves in numbers and strength in a nation, then they are embolden to exert their will.
Mohammad said: If your enemy is stronger than you, make a pretense of peace, then when you are able, kill them.
From now on it is their plan to weaken the nations financially through terrorism.
Speculation: About 75% of Muslims believe the white race has to be destroyed in order for Islam to advance.
Islam is the Red Horse Zechariah 1:8
During the night I had a vision—and there before me was a man riding a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, dappled and white horses.
Zechariah 6:2
The first chariot had a red horse, the second black, 3 the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful. 4 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, "What are these, my lord?"
5 The angel answered me, "These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world. 6 The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, [Russia] the one with the white horses toward the west, [America] and the one with the dappled horses toward the south."

Concealing the name of God was not only a custom, it was also made a law.
The sages quoted, "This is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations" (Ex. iii. 15). Here the word "le-'olam" (forever) is written defectively, being without the "waw" for the vowel "o," which renders the reading "le-'allem" (to conceal; Ḳid. 71a).
Forty years prior to the destruction of the Temple, the priests ceased to pronounce the Name (Yoma39b). From that time the pronunciation of the Name was prohibited. "Whoever pronounces the Name forfeits his portion in the future world" (Sanh. xi. 1).
30 AD to 70 AD.
Abba Saul (2d cent.) condemned the profanation of the Tetragrammaton by classing those "that speak the Name according to its letters," with those who have no part in the future world (Sanh. x. 1); and according to 'Ab. Zarah 17b, one of the martyrs of Hadrian's time, Hananiah b. Teradion, was burned at the stake because he so uttered the Name.
The view that prayer is more effectual if the name of God is pronounced in it as it is written caused the scholars of Kairwan to address a question in the eleventh century to Hai Gaon with reference to the pronunciation of the Shem ha-Meforash, to which he answered that it might not be uttered at all outside the Holy Land (Hai Gaon, "Ṭa'am Zeḳenim," p. 55; see Löw, "Gesammelte Schriften," i. 204).
Because Hebrews dropped their 'ayins', to keep from saying God's name, hence we have "y'shua." Also spelled Yeshua, for which we have in Greek, "Iēsous" and "Isus." These are corruptions of the names that begin with "Yah."
Thirteen theophoric names with "Yeho" have corresponding forms where the letters eh have been omitted. There is a theory by Christian Ginsburg that this is due to Hebrew scribes omitting the "h", changing Jeho (יְהוֹ‎) into Jo (יוֹ‎), to make the start of "Yeho-" names not sound like an attempt to pronounce the Divine Name.
