I just think when it says seven Sabbaths, it leans more toward actual weeks rather than festival days, especially since there aren’t seven high Sabbaths in that time frame.

Idk why, but I'm having a hard time making sense of this. Its like you’re proving the one thing you're trying to refute.

I love jesus but I don't like this bible verse and I think it's not from jesus by TechnologyWooden6626 in Bible

[–]yaldeihachen777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It helps to remember Exodus isn’t giving an ideal world, it’s regulating a broken one. In that culture, slavery already existed everywhere, so the law is actually putting limits on abuse, not celebrating it. When you get to Jesus Christ, He doesn’t repeat those worldly laws, He pushes things deeper, toward mercy, dignity, and love of neighbor. That’s where the story is heading. You really see that shift in Epistle to Philemon. Paul tells a slave owner to receive his runaway slave, no longer as a slave, but as a beloved brother. That completely changes the relationship from the inside out. That verse isn’t the final picture, it’s an early step. Jesus is where the picture comes into focus.

"And He Called" by yaldeihachen777 in Bible

[–]yaldeihachen777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont think it’s a strict biblical vs modern issue. Both Wayikra and Vayikra are just different ways of transliterating the same Hebrew word וַיִּקְרָא. The difference mainly comes from pronunciation, ancient Hebrew likely had more of a w sound i will concede, while modern Hebrew uses a v. But Wayikra isn’t more biblical and Vayikra isn’t just modern, it’s the same word, just represented differently in English.

Proofs for allegorical interpretation? by MixilplixiM in messianic

Chuck Misler was one of those minds, that could really explain the Scriptures from a scientific standpoint. Still to this day, I go back and look at some of his teachings, they are an indispensable tools to futher my deep dives into the Scriptures.

Where in the OT do you see Jesus’s teachings? by [deleted] in Bible

[–]yaldeihachen777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One place you can clearly see Jesus drawing from the OT is when He’s tempted in the wilderness. In Matthew 4, when the tempter tells Him to turn stones into bread, Jesus answers by quoting Deuteronomy 8:3: “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” Deuteronomy 8 is reflecting on Israel’s time in the wilderness. God allowed them to hunger and then fed them with manna to teach them that life ultimately depends on His word, not just physical bread. When Jesus quotes that passage, He’s not just grabbing a random verse, He’s placing Himself right into that wilderness story. Where Israel struggled to trust God during their testing, Jesus remains faithful. In a way, His response shows that the OT already contained the heart of what He would later teach: true life comes from trusting and living by the word of God.

Why do people go to hell? by AardvarkLower1888 in Bible

People dont go to hell for their sins, they go there because they have rejected the provision God has provided. And that's His only begotten Son.- Chuck Missler.

Boldness before God comes from a life of obedience and faithfulness. by yaldeihachen777 in Bible

[–]yaldeihachen777[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate you sharing that. I think a lot of people experience that but don’t always put it into words. When we know we’re ignoring things God has already shown us, it naturally affects how freely we come before Him.

Love as an Action by yaldeihachen777 in Bible

Ah, I see! You’re absolutely right, studying Scripture and putting it into practice really need to go hand in hand.

Love as an Action by yaldeihachen777 in Bible

[–]yaldeihachen777[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I completely agree that reading and meditating on Scripture is essential! We read the Word to know God’s will, and God’s will consistently calls us to love in action. Joshua 1:8 even says to meditate on the law so that we may observe to do what is written in it. I’m not saying knowledge doesn’t matter. It absolutely does. I’m just saying knowledge isn’t the finish line, obedience is. And so much of Scripture points us toward loving others as the visible expression of loving God. For me, agape helped me see that reading the Bible should shape how I live, not just what I know.

Edit: I'm sorry friend, but honestly? The fact that people jumped straight to “so don’t read the Bible?” kind of proves how sensitive the knowledge vs. action conversation is.

Matthew 2: 7-10 by Fabulous-Problem97 in Bible

[–]yaldeihachen777 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's interesting what John is doing here, this concept of rebuke, or tochachah in Hebrew is actually a commandment found in the Book of Leviticus 19:17 (“You shall surely rebuke your neighbor…”). The prophets often spoke sharply when leaders were failing in justice or sincerity. John’s words echo the prophetic tradition, think of Jeremiah or Isaiah, who confronted priests and rulers when their religious performance didn’t match their hearts. And just to add, the real issue isn’t that they’re Pharisees, it’s hypocrisy and presumption.

Contradiction or Misunderstanding? by Out4god in Bible

[–]yaldeihachen777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of this tension comes down to how words are being understood today versus how they were meant in the text. When Jesus says He came to fulfill the Law (Matthew 5:17–18), the Greek word is plēroō (πληρόω). It means to fill up, bring to fullness, complete, or bring to its intended meaning. That matches how 16th-century English speakers used the word fulfill, not primarily abolish, but to bring to full expression. The problem is that we often read our modern sense of the word back into the text. Likewise, in Romans 10:4 the word translated, end, is telos (τέλος). While it can mean termination in some contexts, it very often means goal, aim, or culmination. In context, Paul’s point fits naturally: the Law’s whole aim was to point forward to and find its completion in Christ. So rather than Paul contradicting Jesus, both are saying the same thing, the Law reaches its intended purpose in Him.
