Hi All, I want to clarify how this Community is intended to work. Anyone is free to post a comment to begin a thread in the General Discussion Category. I do ask that it remains relevant to the trending conversations started by Admins. No Sacred Named Debates, No Chosen Holiday Bashing (conversations are fine). Classrooms and some Categories are locked only for Moderators and Admin's to post to. Please do not try to post about those categories using the General Discussions category. That will be seen as a circumvention of the Community Rules. Please keep in mind that Skool is an educational site and our particular Community is custom-suited to bring Christians, Hebrew Roots, and Messianics TOGETHER. It is not supposed to be like other Social Media platforms. No one will get away with monopolizing conversations, or spreading divisive information. That does not mean that no one can disagree, it means that when someone does disagree they should follow the RULES that are posted and pinned. This Community needs to remain focused. As education needs present themselves, we will address them by adding more Communities focused on those OR I will open a Classroom for it. Simply put, this isn't Facebook or Threads. It's not a virtual gathering place for social purposes. It is for learning and contributing to the learning of others. You'll see that in most Classrooms there is a thread at the bottom of every lesson. You will also find those on the Dashboard page. This is so your comments can be made immediately after going through a lesson within a Class/Course. This will keep them focused and relevant as per the purpose of the Community. If you have something you'd like to discuss you can open a discussion in the General Discussions Category. But there will be times that I will interject and post that it's not the appropriate place to discuss that particular topic. It's not personal. It just doesn't fit with this Community for any number of possible reasons, such as: I am planning a Community focused on that topic, it is an potentially explosive topic, I see contention starting to rise in the thread, there are too many just posting to share their perspective and not actually engaging on the topic. Remember, the POINT is to engage, discuss, and explore one another's perspectives. Not to "one up" each other and dominate a conversation with 5 comments before anyone has time to even read/research/reply to one.

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

Comparing this to your favorite English version will help you see that Matthew really was likely to have been written originally in Hebrew. A number of colloquialisms and idioms (not to mention Hebrew word puns) bled through into Greek and then into English. But, by tracing those backward into Hebrew, then straight to English, you'll get a more direct understanding of the Hebrew. Greek doesn't always convey the same thing in all circumstances and therefore most of our English versions lack the true context of Mathew's perspective as a 1st Century Hebrew speaker.

In this new page in the Consistency of Scripture Classroom, get a closer look at why understanding what the original languages were saying by use of more than just linguistics is vitally important to your walk with Yeshus/Jesus. Take a Look!!
