The Dead Sea Scrolls and Ancient Bible Interpretation - James Kugel

This guy is absolutely brilliant. I’ve heard lots of voices on Hebrew scripture and he’s my favourite by far. And he was Peter Enns’ prof at Princeton, which would explain why Enns so also gold.

Could someone explain the etymology of word 'essenes'. So far all I got is : 'is elderly' Given their strict adherence to commandments its not implausible. This where 'senile' comes from?

[@melaniehughes8909]

Jesus said "I am the light of the world". Perhaps it was at that moment that Jesus came from God. A point of separation where God put His Spirit into a body that would one day come dwell with us and save the world. It says Jesus was slain before the foundations of the earth. He knew what it would cost and agreed to it before anything was made on earth.

[@bw4025]

The 'book of Jubilees' is an elaboration on the book of Genesis which elevates Jacob and paints his brother Esau in a very negative light taking out most of the integrative possibilities in the book of Genesis. It was written at a time (135-105 BC) when Hyrcanus (135-105 BC) destroyed the temple at Gerizim in Samaria (111-110 BC) and had the Idumeans grafted into Judea by circumcision. Whether the unknown author of the book of Jubilees is 'certainly one of the greatest of Biblical interpreters of all time' shows Kugel's bias.

[@douglas68storm]

what is the bias? Can he think this is a "great interpretation" rather than a "correct" one?

[@sharont1]

Abraham Lincoln and the jew-ish or the Israelites. The people really knew the business back then.

[@ronalddonner3396]

hey

[@Pandaemoni]

His interpretation of the Hebrew Bible seems sprinkled with Christian interpretations. For example, nothing in the Hebrew Bible says that the serpent in the Garden of Eden was Satan (or "the satan" as Jewish understanding is that that term is a role of adversary God sometimes assigns, not the name of a unique creature or even a permanent role an angel may take). The notion of the satan being a "fallen" angel in rebellion against God is itself Christian and not Jewish, but Genesis says the serpent was a serpent and nothing more.

[@melaniehughes8909]

That's what he said

Why does everyone to this day waste time talking about the Arab boys and the caves? That story has been told more than enough.

[@Chatarrerodeyoutube]

Why do you feel threatened by the fact that they're Arab? Would you've felt the need to comment if they weren't?

[@watermelonlalala]

Generally speaking and in a broad yet particular sense it seems and incites suspicion as to the point exactness and message of bibles in its holistic and religious teachings. Moreover, it seems more factual or plausible that the storyline and independent individual stories are adopted Plagiarized stolen from other ancient writings myths and oral traditions maybe not all but mostly or so it seems! Man the human being as it is called can be inspirational loving kind understanding selflessly genuine spiritual and giving! On the other hand man can be dualistic diabolic wicked cruel insanely sick minded! And I personally have been both what about YOU? The answer is you have been both each and every single man women and child have been or so is both! Only at least I speak for myself and righteously truthfully so can a human being keep the destructive selfish sick spirit at bay when he knows or has a deep relationship with the creator whoever whatever this almighty being is I can’t or will not say for sure because in the past when delving Into religious doctrines I’ve found mans intelligence and interpretation and some men are cunning witty and smart deceiving most of the brainwashed masses but if you have a relationship with the Almighty and you are sincere honest humble generous kind and have developed eyes and ears keen and sensitive thence no man no human being can deceive the mind and soul of Gods interpersonal related men women or children and that I know from my personal experience

It's evident that stupidity is awarded more and more by "academics" and the world than intellect. This is why when The Great Tribulation starts, and it's coming soon enough, it will catch Satans world by surprise. The greater masses will then still think, although in denial, it is just evolution taking place. But the world of Satan, which includes atheists/evolutionists, false religion (including 99% of "Christians") and all in between who don't want God in their lives, will "beat themselves in grief" and "faint out of fear" when the Sun and Moon darken, and other events, knowing it is not evolution taking place but that God and Jesus have come. These things will without fail take place right before Armageddon, after The Great Tribulation has just about come to an end. The Bible is proved accurate and true time and time and time and again, but those in denial keep refusing and dismissing the Truth. Know this fact, too: all (the worlds) debates and arguments and insults, etc., will be completely gone and forgotten after Armageddon. This current world of human kind will be totally forgotten, but Gods True chose Christians will keep on living for ever and ever on a paradise Earth. Peace. Your choice.

On the Day does not mean that particular day. It just meant they would not live forever. Have you ever heard of an expression of speech? Psalms 50: 10...is a 1,000 hills literal? Of course not! Symbolism in numbers is prevalent in Hebrew!

[@lepidoptera9337]

Psalms was written by people with severe PTSD. It's a boot- and slave-phantasy. It's OK if that gets you excited, I am not judging, just don't expect all of us to have the same kinks.
