Restored English Translation of Genesis: Chapter 33

Today I present my Restored English Translation (RET) of Beresheet (Genesis) chapter 33.  As usual, it contains the Hebrew names, with a glossary of them after the chapter.  At the very end is a list of where the Aleph Tavs occur (as they are no longer included in the main text). CHAPTER 33 1 And …

An Open Letter To “Flat Earthers”

Excellent article (ignore the Trump-bashing video towards the end; the rest is excellent and on topic).

I am not here today in an attempt to debate on the subject of this post, and I’m not here to declare what “shape” the earth is. The most honest answer is invariable always that one which best describes one’s best disposition, which is that I simply don’t know. I cannot know.

John the Apostle – Dead or Alive?

This is a controversial and sensitive subject, and one few people properly look into.  It does sound pretty crackpot. John the Apostle was one of the original disciples of Yehoshua ha'Mashiach (Jesus the Christ).  He wrote the Gospel of John, the three Letters of John (1, 2 and 3 John) and the Book of Revelation …
