nit picking i think

@@bigblue1972 No, I'm pointing out that what she's saying is low key repackaged Judaism. If you're going to live like a Jew, then be a Jew. Otherwise, you're nothing but a Christian denomination mimicking Judaism.

How are they excluding ppl ? She said Jesus more than once. They chose to use the name Yeshua. Does that offend you?

@@Brokenandredeemed44 No, but overemphazing the Jewishness of everything has some negative consequences. I've seen people try and find some sort of Jewishness in them just to fit in at these messanic communities. I hear over and over again that isn't the focus, but it really is. It's become a form of elitism.

@@brothergerasimos-bd3pq sorry. But overemphasizing Jewishness? The discussion is a Jewish holiday & the Hebrew Messiah. If someone is over (self) focusing on jewishness to fit in or be part of messianic communities or the like... they are missing the point . That is a matter of the heart. And a personal problem. We are all grafted in to the same Tree. The sooner we all realize that the better. May we all have the right hearts before The Lord. Jew & Gentile alike.

In the “videos” section of the TLV Bible app, at the very top you will see all our podcast episodes! The aftershow is found at the end of each episode.

@@tlvbible I finally found it. I was thinkiing there would be a link directing me to the aftershow. Online the video is about 45 minutes long. on the app you get those 45 minutes AND it continues for another 30 minutes or so. Thank you. I am so looking forward to the PRDS Bible Study book when it is released.

The Guidebook can now be found on our store at tlvbiblesociety.org/products/pathways-through-the-torah-bible-study-illustrated-journal

The TLV Biblical art can be found in our Messianic Jewish Family Bible edition as well as our Heritage edition.

@@tlvbible Ah, so no art in my Giant version.

No it is not unfortunately, but you can find all our products with descriptions and product shots on our website at TLVBibleSociety.org/store

Actually the quote is from John 12:24, the words of Yeshua, the creator of botany. The process of “dying,” a descriptive metaphor for germination, is where the internal structure of a seed breaks down, making room for roots to sprout and a new plant to grow. The stored nutrients break down to fuel the new plant. Essentially, the seed dies and is replaced by many seeds and fruit. The original seed no longer exists. There is no seed at the base with plant bits coming out. It is the new plant that produces the fruit, not the original seed. Hence, describing the seed as dying is understandable. Of course, this is the process of life, one thing transforms to another. The seed, through this process, ceases to be, and a new life, unlike the original, with great multiplication, exists instead. You can, of course, define life as this process and avoid using the word dying to describe it, but in the passage Yeshua is highlighting the difference between a single seed and the resultant fruit, separated by the “death” of the seed in darkness.

@RiccardoGiuliano-j4d I appreciate your reply. While I don't agree with the factual accuracy or logically fallacious appeals to supernatural authority, I don't doubt your sincerity. Viable seeds are already 'alive' but they exist in a dormant state. Respiration rate is slowed to allow the seed to remain viable for long periods of time, until environment conditions trigger the process of germination. Cell division & growth of root and above ground parts does not require death of the seed.

Obviously, the lack of adherence to a scientific definition of dying as cessation of all life function, the failure to cite the law of biogenesis or dormancy principles does not invalidate the text, which seeks only to distinguish and contrast the singularity of the seed and the fruitfulness of the resultant plant. The Greek word used for dying here is apothnasko, connoting separation. This is particularly significant in that a plant is in view here, not human life, where death is understood differently. A seed is separated from its stalk and nourishment and falls to the ground. In this sense is the separation process described as death. Essentially, the process to “new life” begin as singularity. Aloneness descends into darkness and through the right circumstances a new form of life bursts forth. Therefore, the lesson was not to fret over the process but to trust it as producing the life desired. Darkness and difficulty is part of the process. The same reasoning is used in 1Cor 15:35-45 to describe what awaits us after our separation from our body. Death becomes not the end but a doorway to new life distinct from the old. I suppose an available choice for you would be to consider whether botanical principles, which you seem to respect, can be instructive metaphorically by assuring you that the darkness and aloneness of life may just be a temporary condition and fruitfulness and multiplication awaits. So there is no factual dispute here, once the text is defined correctly. Perhaps you will see also the supernatural authority, that you reject as fallacious, as not a logical fallacy but consistent with the testimony of creation and therefore reliable in those ways that may speak to mysteries that you cannot solve. A scientific materialism and naturalism world view can only take you so far. Perhaps future scrolling will hit the mark. Peace to you

We explained at the beginning that we would cover R and S in the after show. It is available on the app.

Was going to say the same - she’s interrupting his thought process making very hard to follow.

Thought the same thing lol
