As we uncovered?
When and where was it that I ever made the statement that Jewish resources/literature were claiming to be a continuation of the Pharisees(individuals and not literature)? -

The Pharisees ceased to exist sometime in the 3rd century or at least there is no evidence that they existed after the 3rd century. Today, Rabbinical Jewish movements and Non-Rabbinical Judaisms exist.

A mute point (at least for those familiar with Judaism), after all the within Judaism there a number of different specific Jewish ethnicities for example (but not limited to):

Thanks, C_M_ I am actually struggling now with if and how I should go about outreach. My current job leaves me little time and energy for me to do much of anything, else.

I would like to add more to this thread but as I (being mixed ethnically) and my family (being that my wife is Japanese) are actually the product of interracial marriage (but not interfaith) it is really hard for me to objectively see points agai…

Thanks for the comments CM. I am not a missionary but I lived outside of the country of my birth for about 17 plus years. My time outside of my country and native language have lead me to read up on cross-cultural communication, Intercultural com…

The text is very clear in the fact that Jesus was speaking to his immediate 11 disciples, but what feature in the text clearly and directly leads one to believe that it speaks that it applies to more than just Jesus original audience?

I am glad you found the 1st example I gave to be obvious, however, the 2nd example is one that may not be so obvious to everyone.
The 2nd example is one that actually happened between English speakers and is an issue of cross-cultural mis…

Great Question! Here is my two cents/Yen:
I think that communicative contextualization is highly important for Christians to simply "preach the Gospel". Take for example an English speaker simply preaching the Gospel to an indi…

Thanks for sharing your observations. So, do you mean to say that the Japanese in Cambodia mingle with natives of Cambodia they are residing in, but not with other expats?

In general, I like the idea of having more forum categories. And, if really interesting political conversations (like you mentioned) were started in a such a category I would welcome it or at least I would be around to enjoy listening …

Excellent and astute points Dave L!

Hello CM,
(1) The English translation used by "The Israel Bible" is not a paraphrase.
(2) The English translation used by "The Israel Bible" is not a new translation. It is the Jewish Publication Societies Tanakh (The New JPS Tran…

Wolfgang,
I would think that most would understand that the very word "Semitic" is an adjective and not one race or one ethnic group of people. For example, Semitic refers to Hebrew, just as much as it does Arabic, Aramaic, Amharic, Malte…

Wolfgang,
it is common knowledge Judaism is not a race, but rather a religion that groups of various ethnicities across the world follow. For example:
There are are

Thanks for sharing, I still have a hard time understanding how Jewish groups and individuals who did not hold to the Baboliayian Talumd suffered persecution because of a text they did not accept nor follow.
