Last night the class begun.<\/p>\n
It was interesting meeting Jewish converts, particularly women, elderly women. A couple of Charismatics also, apparently, not surprisingly, but I can make do with that.<\/p>\n

Targum: (I was aware of it, but here's simpler definition: Aramaic translation of the OT with added words, by Rabbis up to the 200AD. A lot of which are anti-Christian in content.)<\/p>\n
Torah is from the word Yarah<\/a>, which means shoot<\/a>, straight.<\/p>\n The most common findings of the Dead Sea Scrolls: Isaiah, Deuteronomy & Psalms. Which are also the 3 most quoted books in NT.<\/p>\n The best argument from Rabbis on Isa 53 is that the Servant is referring to the remnant of Israel, since referring to the nation of Israel would fail horribly.<\/p>\n I asked about earlier \"chosen people ministry\", so far, I have only the name Alfred Edersheim (late 19th century) to go by. And the Messianic Judaism (MJAA- America).<\/p>\n There is a worthy note about the wiping out of virtually all early Hebrew Christians during the Holocaust and documentaries made of it. These will be my research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last night the class begun. It was interesting meeting Jewish converts, particularly women, elderly women.
