You seem to be focused on this is as a personal issue but let's not
speak to that. Analyze this from the perspective of outside the box.
Exo 20:14 “You do not commit adultery.
Lev 20:10 ‘And a man who commits adultery with the wife of another
man, who commits adultery with the wife of his neighbour: the
adulterer and the adulteress shall certainly be put to death.
Pretty harsh Law that you and I have earned DEATH. Adultery isn't just
limited to husband and wife relationships.
Exo 4:26 So He let him go. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of
blood,” because of the circumcision.
We can commit spiritual adultery also when we follow after false gods.
So Adultery does have a wider meaning then just marriage but my very
literal brothers tend to see only in the physical aspects.
So how does the Good News of יהושע Messiah, the Son of Elohim change
this?
Mat 5:27 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not
commit adultery.’
Mat 5:28 “But I say to you that everyone looking at a woman to lust
for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
The Messiah explains a wider definition of Adultery that I find is
personally almost impossible to follow. I've often admired a
beautiful lady and by these terms I have committed adultery many times
and I myself am guilty of sin. I confess this here in a forum that is
filled with skeptic's not because I'm proud of the fact but because
it's the truth.
1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is trustworthy and righteous to
forgive us the sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
But we know that your issues go deeper then this because of the quote
by the Messiah:
Mat 5:32 “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for
the matter of whoring,1 makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries
a woman who has been put away commits adultery. .
And so we compare this to Dt. 24:1:
Deu 24:1 “When a man takes a wife and shall marry her, then it shall
be, if she finds no favour in his eyes because he has found a matter
of uncoveredness in her, and he shall write her a certificate of
divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of his house,
Deu 24:2 and if she left his house and went and became another man’s
wife,
Deu 24:3 and the latter husband shall hate her and write her a
certificate of divorce, and put it in her hand, and send her out of
his house, or when the latter husband dies who took her to be his
wife,
Deu 24:4 then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to
take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled, for that
would be an abomination before יהוה. And do not bring sin on the land
which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance.
The only difference I see is that Deut. doesn't specifically say they
commit adultery. It says that she has been "defiled". Yet, defiled
is a condition of not pure and righteous and so what we see is that
the two do agree.
The Good News is:
Mat 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy,
and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.
You have mercy and if your unhappy in your current situation then know
this fact:
Mat 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy
shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost
shall not be forgiven unto men.
Now you have to make up your own heart on what reasons you have for
not being happy in your relationship and ask yourself first if the log
is in your own eye before you judge the one you love.
Mar 7:15 “There is no matter that enters a man from outside which is
able to defile him, but it is what comes out of him that defiles the
man.
Mar 7:16 “If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear!”
But I do know this, you have been set free.
Joh 8:31 So יהושע said to those Yehuḏim who believed Him, “If you
stay in My Word, you are truly My taught ones,
Joh 8:32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.”
Joh 8:33 They answered Him, “We are the seed of Aḇraham, and have
been servants to no one at any time. How do you say, ‘You shall become
free’?”
Joh 8:34 יהושע answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone
doing sin is a servant of sin.
So don't continue to be a servant of sin. If it's your desire to serve
Elohim in the best possible fashion, then rededicate your life to and
move on. Ultimately you’ve already committed adultery spiritually and
in your heart. Why live in denial and continue to sin? Either fix
your current situation by recommitting or if you find that unbearable,
be honest with yourself first and then get a divorce.
Mat 6:24 “No one is able to serve two masters, for either he shall
hate the one and love the other, or else he shall cleave to the one
and despise the other. You are not able to serve Elohim and mammon.
The best servant is one that is happy to serve and not one that serves
with bitterness because it’s the law and the same goes for a wife, the
two are intertwined. Don’t stay in a relationship that you despise
just because you believe it’s a sin to leave, Your anger fuels a much
deeper sin.
Psa 139:21 O יהוה, do I not hate them, who hate You? And do I not
loathe those who rise up against You?
Psa 139:22 With a complete hatred I hate them; They have become my
enemies.
Psa 139:23 Search me, O Ěl, and know my heart; Try me, and know my
thoughts;
Psa 139:24 And see if an idolatrous way is in me, And lead me in the
way everlasting.

Spiritual adultery is worshipping a trinity heathen like godman...who
changed Torah... You are right there is spiritual adultery...but who
here is committing it against YHWH?
That is why repentance...true repentance of violating Torah is
imperative.

A better perspective is that I haven't given proof to you because I
did in fact lay out both views for any reasonable person to see and
come to a conclusion.
Fact:
Adultery is a sin in both Torah and Messianic scriptures. The penalty
for both is death and both have a route to repentance by asking our
Father in heaven.
Given the facts, you choose to ignore them and that is to your own
detriment but there is no way that you can say I didn't give proof.
Just that you don't except the proof I gave. To that end, we must
agree to disagree and discontinue this line of topic because the fact
is that neither of us is going to agree.
Joh 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in
adultery. And having set her in the midst,
Joh 8:4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act
of adultery.
Joh 8:5 “And in the Torah Mosheh commanded us that such should be
stoned. What then do You say?”
Joh 8:6 And this they said, trying Him, so that they might accuse Him.
But יהושע, bending down, wrote on the ground with the finger, as
though He did not hear.
Joh 8:7 But as they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and
said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first
to throw a stone at her.”
The only one without sin is our Father in heaven and his Messiah who
redeemed us as strangers and made us brothers and sisters.
Joh 8:10 And יהושע, straightening up and seeing no one but the woman,
said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Did no one
condemn you?”
Joh 8:11 And she said, “No one, Master.” And יהושע said to her,
“Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”1
Shalom,

How do you come to that conclusion? It isn't justified in the Torah.
Jesus talks about divorce in Mark 9: 5-12 & Mark 10: 2-12 (which you haven't
mentioned) & Q (Luke 16:18 ; Matthew 5:32) & Matthew 19:3-9.
In Mark's version vs 9 divorce is not permitted (thus altering the Torah
which permits divorce). This reflects the view of Rabbi Hillel and is an
Essene view. The vs 11-12 reflect Roman marriage laws in which either man
or wife could initiate divorce. (As such it is set in a Gentile context.)
In the Torah only the man can initiate divorce. vs 6-7 reflect the
Christian use of the Greek Septuagint (the real Jesus didn't quote the
Septuagint). Mark's gospel reflects the practice during the time of writing
(65 - 80 CE) and NOT the view of the Jewish Jesus of Nazareth and the time
in which he lived. This story is pinched from Mark by Luke and is also a Q
saying. Mark's gospel is written 65 - 80 CE. Luke's gospel is written 80
CE - 130 CE.
Matthew's source is Mark (he pinches tyhe story from Mark's gospel) but he
changes bits and pieces. Matthew introduces infidelity as the only reason
for divorce. Jesus here agrees with Rabbi Shammai. Matthew's version
reflects the Torah and standard Judean view. Mathew's gospel is written
80 -100 CE.
Note that the latter written John's gospel (90 - 120 CE) doesn't mention
divorce at all.
Oh .. I forgot .. I'm supposed to be ignaorant about the New Testament . ;-)

No you didn't!
You didn't even mention the passages in Mark's Gospel or the one in Luke's
gospel.
> Adultery is a sin in both Torah and Messianic scriptures.
What IS adultery according to both?????
Are the definitions the SAME?????
I suggest that they AREN'T the same definition!!!!!
Read ya bible and find out!!!!!

Debra does not need your help.
You need help from Debra.
I have just proved that DEBRA IS CORRECT! In the Markian version of Jesus'
comments on divorce Jesus tries to change the Torah by quoting the Greek
Setuagint scriptures on Genesis concerning Adam and Eve. Of course, Matthew
CONTRADICTS that version.
You who think that the New Testament is "God's word" and infallible are now
in a bind. Which is the one and only TRUE version of Jesus' views on
divorce????? Or did Jesus change his mind? (Does God change HIs mind???)

To prove spiritual adultery you first have to prove the gods.
As you know perfectly well that you cannot do that
the point is groundless.
Exo 4:24 And it came to be on the way, in the lodging place, that יהוה
met him and sought to kill him.
Exo 4:25 And Tsipporah took a sharp stone and cut off the foreskin of
her son and threw it at Mosheh’s feet, and said, “You are indeed a
bridegroom of blood to me!”
Exo 4:26 So He let him go. Then she said, “You are a bridegroom of
blood,” because of the circumcision.
First we see that by circumcision we "are indeed a bridegroom" of the
Father.
Deu 10:16 “And you shall circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and
harden your neck no more.
But it's not just the physical act of circumcision that he is looking
for. We are to circumcise our hearts and that requires Faith and
belief. This is shown by the fact that he says, "harden your neck no
more". In other words, pay attention and listen attentively.
Now of course a person with your hardened heart isn't going to put
that together but I did lay it out for you as my witness to you.
Shalom,

If you are then hopefully you understand that it's clearly not my

of just saying they are hard hearted which in the scheme of things is
a pretty mild touch. I'm attempting to do unto others as you would
have them do to you. If somebody told me I'm hard hearted, I'd have to
agree with them on a lot of issues, which you'd certainly agree with.
I don't know why she thinks it's O.K. to get personal with people when
it's not her relationship I was speaking about but relationships in
general.
I can't actually speak about her relationship because
I don't know her. I don't know her situation. I don't even know
anything about her relationship outside of the fact that she claimed
at one point to be in a happy marriage and that divorce wasn't an
issue with her. The only reason I made this particular issue the
topic was that she brought it up.

Debra is quite beyond help - she is right about that! Her "G-d" is a
hypocrite who allowed David to commit the most egregious form of
adultery possible, where the husband is sent off to die defending the
crown, while the crown commits adultery with his wife.
Moreover, there is a big difference in consequences between JHVH and
JHVSA. JHVH says (hypocritically) that you must die if you commit
adultery. JHVSA gives a stiffer definition, but then He says that He
Himself must die for your sin. He loves you enough to give Himself as
a sacrifice for you. No matter how hard His definition of sin may be,
it is all covered by the fact that He is dying for those sins, not
you.
>I'll take a wild guess and assume that your not directing that at me.

It's a good thing I'm not claiming to be Elohim. Are you? I wonder

Actually, My point was that the Law was in effect NOT changed and no
changes in the way that Adultery is defined were made. Debra's issue
with Messianic scriptures dwells on one simple fact...
She thinks it's "easier" for a lady to leave her husband under Torah
Law where it just says to give a certificate of divorce. Her problem
arises from the fact that the Messiah states in no certain terms that
the woman commits adultery when she takes a second husband.
Mat 5:32 “But I say to you that whoever puts away his wife, except for
the matter of whoring, makes her commit adultery. And whoever marries
a woman who has been put away commits adultery.
She denies the entire Messianic scriptures because she doesn't like
this single verse. She wrongly believe that this verse is a change
from the law of the Torah. The fact is, it doesn't change, the book
of Duet. only uses different words.
Deu 24:4 then her former husband who sent her away is not allowed to
take her back to be his wife after she has been defiled, for that
would be an abomination before יהוה. And do not bring sin on the land
which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an inheritance.
While יהושע Messiah says the word adultery, Deutoronomy 24:4 says that
a woman is "defiled" by a second husband and to take her back is an
abomination. Because of her hardened heart, she can't see that they
are the same thing. As I've stated all along, both consider adultery
a sin, both punishable by death and both have the same path to
redemption in calling out to our Father in heaven for repentance.
Mat 5:27 “You heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not
commit adultery.’
I also covered the fact that the Messiah spoke to spiritual adultery
which was covered by the Torah. I think she believe that יהושע
Messiah should be like her and only read the Torah rather then be the
teacher and explains things.
Mat 19:16 And see, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good
shall I do to have everlasting life?”
Mat 19:17 And He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good
except One – Elohim. But if you wish to enter into life, guard the
commands.”
Clearly the Messiah taught One Elohim and keeping the Torah of life.
She's welcome to disagree with me but she can't say I didn't give an
answer. All this same information was laid out in the original post.
I was trying to help her by letting her know that even if for example
you left your husband, it is forgiven.
Mat 12:31 “Because of this I say to you, all sin and blasphemy shall
be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be
forgiven men.

Jesus talks about divorce in Mark 9: 5-12 & Mark 10: 2-12 (which you haven't
mentioned) & Q (Luke 16:18 ; Matthew 5:32) & Matthew 19:3-9.
In Mark's version vs 9 divorce is not permitted (thus altering the Torah
which permits divorce). This reflects the view of Rabbi Hillel and is an
Essene view. The vs 11-12 reflect Roman marriage laws in which either man
or wife could initiate divorce. (As such it is set in a Gentile context.)
In the Torah only the man can initiate divorce. vs 6-7 reflect the
Christian use of the Greek Septuagint (the real Jesus didn't quote the
Septuagint). Mark's gospel reflects the practice during the time of writing
(65 - 80 CE) and NOT the view of the Jewish Jesus of Nazareth and the time
in which he lived. This story is pinched from Mark by Luke and is also a Q
saying. Mark's gospel is written 65 - 80 CE. Luke's gospel is written 80
CE - 130 CE.
Matthew's source is Mark (he pinches the story from Mark's gospel) but he
changes bits and pieces. Matthew introduces infidelity as the only reason
for divorce. Jesus here agrees with Rabbi Shammai. Matthew's version
reflects the Torah and standard Judean view. Mathew's gospel is written
80 -100 CE.
I have just proved that DEBRA IS CORRECT! In the Markian version of Jesus'
comments on divorce Jesus tries to change the Torah by quoting the Greek
Setuagint scriptures on Genesis concerning Adam and Eve. Of course, Matthew
CONTRADICTS that version.
You who think that the New Testament is "God's word" and infallible are now
in a bind. Which is the one and only TRUE version of Jesus' views on
divorce????? Or did Jesus change his mind? (Does God change HIs mind???)
Waiting for an answer ...................
It only says that they commit adultery in Mark 10.
Mar 10:9 “Therefore what Elohim has joined together, let man not
separate.”
Mar 10:10 And in the house His taught ones asked Him about this
again.
Mar 10:11 And He said to them, “Whoever puts away his wife and marries
another commits adultery against her.
Mar 10:12 “And if a woman puts away her husband and marries another,
she commits adultery.”
It doesn't say it is "not permitted". Your making things up that
aren't written, just like you did with Mark 9 which says NOTHING about
divorce. Your rambling Mark out of desperation to protect your
girlfriend.. I get that.. we can disagree and I don't have an issue
with it.

Mark, I respect that we disagree but a defiled woman in Duet. is the
same as the adulterer in the Gospels. At no point does it state
divorce is not allowed. I think with all matters of such moral
implications it's only making it clear it shouldn't be taken lightly.
Jer 3:8 “And I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding
Yisra’ĕl had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a
certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Yehuḏah did not
fear, but went and committed whoring too.
You have not convinced me of anything having changed. It's still a
sin and it still defiles the person.

In your case it's because you don't debate. All you do is pontificate

First off Mark, not to get into pettiness but thats Mark 10 not
chapter 9. Minor mistake on your part and nobody is perfect. Your
original post stated:

I agree but your under the false presumption that anybody that gets
married is brought together by Elohim. While it may say "let man not
separate" it's conditional on "what Elohim has joined together". Come
on Mark, you taught English for how many years? I don't need to teach
you about conditional clauses. If thats the case, then does Elohim
"bring together" Elton John's homosexual marriage? Scriptures calls
that an abomination.
Num 30:9 “But any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has
bound herself, stands against her.
You still forgot about the verse in Numbers. I guess I need to keep
my post short because your attention span seems limited... are you
having a 60's "FLASHBACK" moment??? You're usually sharper then
this...
Num 30:2 “When a man vows a vow to יהוה, or swears an oath to bind
himself by some agreement, he does not break his word, he does
according to all that comes out of his mouth.
Num 30:3 “Or if a woman vows a vow to יהוה, and binds herself by some
agreement while in her father’s house in her youth,
Num 30:4 and her father hears her vow and the agreement by which she
has bound herself, and her father has kept silent towards her, then
all her vows shall stand, and every agreement with which she has bound
herself stands.
If they break the vow they commit adultery. It's Torah based. Maybe
try the dictionary for help...
Adultery
ADUL'TERY, n. [L. adulterium. See Adulterate.]
1. Violation of the marriage bed; a crime, or a civil injury, which
introduces, or may introduce, into a family, a spurious offspring.

Num 30:2 “When a man vows a vow to יהוה, or swears an oath to bind
himself by some agreement, he does not break his word, he does
according to all that comes out of his mouth.

Num 30:4 and her father hears her vow and the agreement by which she
has bound herself, and her father has kept silent towards her, then
all her vows shall stand, and every agreement with which she has bound
herself stands.
It's based on the Torah. The Husband and Wife swear a vow before the
Father so that he can approve of the marriage based on these passages
in the Torah. If you break your vows you are committing adultery with
any other man that you marry when you say, "till death do you part".
Marriage is and should be a life long commitment and the breaking of
those vows should never be taken lightly.
Mal 2:16 “For I hate divorce,” said יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl, “and the
one who covers his garment with cruelty,” said יהוה of hosts. “So you
shall guard your spirit, and do not act treacherously.”
While Elohim hates divorce, even he acknowledges that sometimes there
is a need for it by way of the prophets he told us the same message
the Messiah taught...
Jer 3:8 “And I saw that for all the causes for which backsliding
Yisra’ĕl had committed adultery, I had put her away and given her a
certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Yehuḏah did not
fear, but went and committed whoring too.

Thompson Twins, The - Sister Of Mercy Lyrics
She lives in a big white house
The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh
The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh
And she doesn't talk when he comes home at night
Twenty five years she's just the same
She's a lonely woman, quiet in her ways
Then he comes home one night
She kills him with a knife
Now she's the one who's a living in paradise
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me
Now she sits in a big white chair
In a room that's not so different to the one back there
She turns her face to the light
But she is blinded by her life
You can hear her cry alone at night
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me

So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been

If you had respect for other's beliefs...You wouldn't call them names
or Satan or child of Satan or try to prove your truth with verses as
you do...Using the word respect and showing respect are two different
things...As Mordecai says...If word and actions do not agree...believe
actions.
And you haven't answered...What happened to your wife Mark?
Debra
And you shared that music why? With the quote about buying coffee...I
am looking forward to hearing that you actually took the time to trot
across whatever part of Australia to buy Mark that coffee because you
said you would...You change what you say all the time...So I am
curious to know if Mark will really get that coffee Mark.
If that song is supposed to reflect my life...It doesn't.
Debra
STALKER ALERT PLEASE GO BOTHER SOMEBODY WHO CARES WHAT YOU SAY
CLEARLY THIS ISSUE BOTHERS YOU BECAUSE YOUR A WHORE. FEEL GUILT
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T FACE UP TO THE FACTS YOU'VE ALREADY COMMITTED
ADULTERY IN YOUR HEART?
You know that is irony...When I first joined your group...You called
your ex girlfriend of ten years ago a "WHORE" and proceeded to tell me
about the situation...Who taught you to disrespect women Mark?
Somebody did... Because I have seen you call the ones you cared about
such things...Interesting.
Calling people deragatory names may be an attempt to not answer
questions that are too hard for you to answer with truth...It bothers
me because you lie all the time...and speak in hypocrisy...and can't
prove your point...So you arrogantly come out on top of a
situation...Apparently the subject of your former wife is a very touch
one.
And your explanation about Jesus/Yeshua fell short of the truth when
you compare his teaching to Torah.
You misinterpreted it.
Debra
I have not committed "adultery" in my heart...and I have not coveted
another's husband... and there is no such thing as committing
"adultery" in your heart...I have not slept with another man while
married...No adultery committed...No violation of the Torah's
definition of adultery by me.
How about you...Did you commit adultery...Did you sleep with another's
wife? No...You just talked about it when you tried to smear me as you
said you would, before saying that you thought I wanted to "commit
wicked adultery with you after I am divorced"...You have always had an
interesting insight on things Mark...and never the reality either.
You need to correct your definition of what adultery is according to
the way YHWH himself spelled it out.
Debra
YHWH himself never spelled anything out. You take His name in vain.
You don't know Him or anything about Him. Even Moses could not see
His face.
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is
the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

Chapter 1 verse 7
7
The fear of HaShem is the beginning of knowledge; but the foolish
despise wisdom and discipline.
Don't try to make it a personal issue and figure out that I don't want
you stalking me again. I was trying to help you and repay me by
slandering me. You are a spiritual whore and I stand by that because
I know what you said and thats the end of it liar. I remind you again
that you don't know anything about me and you have no right to ask
about my personal life when I've done nothing of the kind to you
WHORE.
P.S. If you think because I called you "Doll" at one point 6 MONTHS
AGO that I was coming on to you.. your pathetic. Your a sick little
stalker and you should just return to not posting to me again.
But the fact still remains that you aren't going to because your goal
is to drive people insane. You want people to verbally abuse you
whore. You know your an evil person and you want me to confirm it.
I'm telling you that your a wicked seed that refuses to stop stalking
people. You like abuse and thats why you married an abusive husband
and you stalk people until they do abuse you.
I am not a whore...or a spiritual whore...you have to be putting other
gods before YHWH to be in spiritual adultery...I know only what you
told me about yourself... Quite a bit of infomation Mark...2
times...not one(the second time was AFTER I told you I was
married)...and when do men normally call people doll? On a black and
white movie? I remind you again that I only know what you shared with
me about your personal life...I have no right to ask
you...Perhaps...But I ask out of curiousity because you said you were
a single man...Perhaps your wife, if you are not single needs to know
about your behavior? That is if she is not your exwife.
Debra
Are you saying you are an abusive man...Interesting.
Debra
I think he is rather suggesting (perhaps unconsciously) that your G-d
is an abuser, par excellance. If you had a husband (and G-d is often
referred to as a husband) who behaved like that, you would divorce him
in a heartbeat, UNLESS you are a dead-on masochist who loves abuse.
Hardly Debra. What I am saying is that you want to push people until
they do abuse you. Rather then just leaving people to disagree, you
poke every last nerve until you get the desired reaction. Then you
can play the victim and cry foul and that suites your purpose.

I initiated this thread in the hopes of helping Debra. She's the one

still posting to me.

LOL. I like your quote and have decided to act on it and take the
pains to see the truth is brought to light.
Why am I still posting to you? Because you're being dishonest. You
claim that you initiated this thread (allegedly) for the purpose of
'helping' Debra. But when she responded to you in this thread you said
you were opening especially for her, you accused her of stalking you
again (??!!), and called her a whore half a dozen times. Do you really
expect people to fall for your claim that you were 'helping'? You
arranged for her to post to you, and when she did, you attacked and
attacked. Do you really expect people to believe you're innocently
being 'stalked'? Not believable. You're being extremely dishonest,
manipulative, and abusive.

Both of you have short memories. A simple question?
Debra posted in this thread:
That is a flat out lie...Would you like me to begin posting all of the
emails again that I have permission to post?
You told me you were single...and tried to flirt with me...and I told
you I was married...
What happened with your wife?
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I told her clearly my personal life is none of her business. I did
not make this personal, she did. I didn't mention any of her personal
situation, I answered the questions she asked in relation to divorce.
When I asked her several times not to ask me personal questions on the
internet and that she had no right to persue such questions or
allegations as such:
I have revoked that permission (posting my email to you) due to
abuse. I see that once again you are taking to crossing the line and
abusing my attempt to help you by abusing me. Besides, you've already
done that (posting my email to you).
Somehow I skipped past this post but your claim is interesting to me.
I would point out that first off, you don't know my address as I NEVER
give that information out via internet as part of our security
prohibition. I never post any information that is personal outside of
the fact that I have a family that resides in the United States.
I've made every attempt to not get personal with you Debra and only
speak in general terms. You have no right to ask me about my personal
life or get personal with me. It shows what a deprived evil person
you are. How pathetic are you?
> So Mark...I was reading online...and I came across this Baptist
> Website where you posted with a woman's name your address phone
> number, etc and your email address...
As to the use of my email address.. it wouldn't be the first time that
somebody has copied me and fraudulently posted as me. You are truly a
sick individual and beyond my help. At this point I'd say it's best
that we discontinue speaking again... back to the black list for you.
Since clearly I am not a Baptist, your site is obviously a fraud but
you assumed it was correct. You don't know my phone number or my
physical address and I never give that information out. The closest I
ever say is that I am in Victoria for security issues.
You don't know me and you never will. Get over me, I'm not interested
in you. I'm sorry to have attempted to help you.

I agree that Debra is not acting in a righteous manner. But neither
are you. You two could keep this private, but you prefer to act it out
here. You're both doing a great job of making **yourselves** look bad
and worthy of being totally ignored regarding any opinions either of
you post about the Scriptures.
Mat 9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy,
and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but ****
sinners to repentance.****
I know exactly what you're about; you've decided you're a sinner so
you're allowed to sin (acknowledging the Messiah came to call sinners,
but ignoring he said he came to call them to repentance); you've
decided the truth is divisive and that exposing any lies is divisive
to the church, so you're promoting the Pauline lie.
You started out here posting about the paganism in Christianity; you
learned that Paul was the source of that paganism; then you decided,
considering its source, the paganism was okay after all. You do not
preach the word of God; you preach the lie of Paul, and you do so just
as you've done with Matt. 9:13 above; you take part of a sentence to
'prove' your point and ignore everything else. Sinners need to repent
is the focus of that verse; not the Messiah only likes sinners.
> You do not

Mat 9:12 And יהושע hearing this, said to them, “Those who are strong
have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
Mat 9:13 “But go and learn what this means, ‘I desire compassion and
not offering.’ For I did not come to call the righteous to repentance,
but sinners.”
I take it then you don't need the Messiah. You should stop telling me
what it is I speak of when you fail to understand. You won't of
course because your a person that preaches against Paul and then
mimics his behavior.
I have to give Paul more credit then you. At least he knew to confess
his sins.
Rom 3:9 What then? Are we better than they? Not at all, for we have
previously accused both Yehuḏim and Greeks that they are all under
sin.
How would you like it if people started asking you for your personal
details on the internet?
How about your husband? What kind of garbage is that to ask somebody?
A ludicrous comment intended to incite. It is you who needs Paul's
interpretations in addition to the Messiah's teachings and words. The
Messiah's teachings are good enough for me, and they **should be good
enough for any Christian**.

Paul never confessed his own sins; he simply said both Jews and
Gentiles were 'under sin'. Nowhere does he repent or confess; in fact,
he says he is "blameless".
When I start preaching a lie or show up with a sword and insist you
accept me as one who speaks for God, then you can rightfully accuse me
of 'acting like Paul'. That accusation's especially laughable since
YOU act like Paul preaching the Pauline lie.
Would I mind if people asked me personal questions on the Internet?
No. But then I wouldn't answer them if I didn't feel like it. I don't
think it is at all wise, however, to reveal one's identity and/or
location on the Internet. Children are taught not to do so, and it
isn't any safer for an adult.
And you aren't the only person here being followed around from thread
to thread by someone who constantly criticizes you. Face it - that is
the risk you take when you post publicly, and it won't end if Debra
stops because someone else will always come along who's taken notice
of your posts. Look at it this way - at least someone's reading them.
And when people criticize my stance on Paul, it justifies me answering
and criticizing him further - even more than I feel like doing.
NO! You have to understand Messiah's teaching, and it is more than
could ever be written in words. That is the mistake of the Pharisees
and modern Jews in general: they idolize a bunch of words in their
counterfeit Torah. If you idolize the new testament in the same way,
you are no better than them.
"10And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto
them in parables?" (KJV)
Jesus Explains Why He Spoke in Parables
Here is how Jesus answered them as recorded in Matthew 13:11-15:
"11He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to
know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not
given.
12For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more
abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even
that he hath.
13Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not;
and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By
hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall
see, and shall not perceive:
15For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of
hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should
see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand
with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal
them." (KJV)
So why did the Messiah bother preaching the parables to the multitudes
at all? To mess with their minds? No, because on a subconscious level
(in their spirit) they received what he knew their conscious minds
would reject.
And why would they reject what they subconsiously knew would heal them
and convert them back to worship of God? Because they were demonized.
I don't think you get the gist of this. What Jesus said is that there
is much more to knowledge of G-D than can be put into a scripture like
the Bible. The Bible is filled with worldly events and ordinary
verbal descriptions of worldly events, whereas the Kingdom of God is
otherworldly. Not everyone even has the type of imagination that can
grasp spiritual knowledge. It is deep philosophy and deep science.
It is post-post-post graduate studies compared to academic knowledge.
Not everyone is qualified to pursue it. But neither is there any kind
of rigid qualification like being 40 years old, as the Pharisee-like
rabbis teach. Jesus spoke in parables to try to win over, in
conjunction with his kind miracles, the people who could not pursue
the deep spiritual knowledge. There was nothing unkind in this,
except that he really left almost everyone in dark as to what was
really going on. Even the brightest of mortals have not figured it
out yet. That is why I have been sent.

So what? Who cares? So he accidentally posted something he should not
have. You're way too interested in his personal life (both of you
are). The way you both act only serves to make anyone who is aware of
that reluctant to tell you anything. I don't even know what to label
it - intrusive, rude, mean??

At least in this one respect you do understand why I'm upset at this
person trying to dig into my personal life as if it were her
business. Look Linda, I realize that we do have issues that will go
unresolved but I also know you can be a reasonable person. I wish we
could agree on everything but then, wouldn't that be boring? :)
Just realize that I'll do my best to treat you with respect and sorry
if I'm lacking at times. Considering that we will continue to
disagree and I understand this... I don't know, it would be nice to
explain except to say that all we can do is put our faith in יהוה
your Elohim and trust that eventually if our hearts our open, he will
lead us.
I keep asking for wisdom and I hope you find some comfort in that.

to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.

P.S. To that other person.... I had no intention to get personal with
you and my original topic wasn't meant to draw up past issues. It was
my honest intention to attempt to help you and I know all to well that
you have no desire for it. To that end, this is a dead issue in the
aspect that no longer will I read or reply to you.
Isa 52:2 Shake yourself from the dust, arise, and sit down, O
Yerushalayim. Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive
daughter of Tsiyon!
There is a verse somewhere about self deception Mark...Go back...Read
what you wrote in all that communication after I joined that group of
yours...and then acknowledge the truth that you did try to "get
personal"...
And yes...the topic was meant to be hurtful..and to smear me...thing
is...Your definition is not YHWH's as you have said regarding
adultery...So if Torah is truth and eternal...and it is...Then you
have made a judgment mistake in "trying to help me".
Debra
Do you allege that Jesus spoke on the subject of divorce only once?
Maybe you would like to illuminate the differences you find so
outstanding.
The most authentic manuscript of the Torah is the Septuagint, of which
we have a copy from the Second Century. In contrast, the "Hebrew"
version was manually copied so many times from then until the Tenth
Century Masoretic text, the Hebrew version is not reliable. And it
certainly cannot gainsay the Septuagint.
TCross
I too have heard the Septuagint is more accurate than the Masoretic
text of the Hebrew Scriptures.
Also if you noticed, recently Mark T quoted John 1:1 in the thread:
John 1 - Scholars Version, providing a very crappy version, which is
highly inaccurate and adds words that aren't in the Greek versions of
the text and rearranges it at will. Those who have rejected God as
their Saviour hate John 1:1.
John 1:1
the New Greek-English Interlinear New Testament: In the beginning was
the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.
(ASV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
(DRB) In the beginning was the Word: and the Word was with God: and
the Word was God.
(ISV) In the beginning, the Word existed. The Word was with God, and

DISTINGUISHING FEATURES OF A CHRISTUS OBNOXIUM
... quoting from James Barr's book "Fundamentalism" on the three
distinguishing features of the Fundamentalist:
'Firstly, a fundamentalist has a very strong emphasis on the inerrancy of
the Bible, and believes in the absence from it of any sort of error.
Two, a strong hostility to modern theology and to the method, results and
implications of modern critical study of the Bible.
And three, an assurance that those who do not share their religious
viewpoint are not really true Christians at all.'
Peter Cameron "Heretic" (Doubleday; Sydney: 1994) p. 178
Give it up Mark. These scholars obviously have your own agenda in
mind, which is to deny the deity of Christ. They have no excuse for
adding words to the original text nor for rearranging it to suit their
supposition.
There is no word meaning 'wisdom' in John 1:1, and no other versions
support that there is. The Greek text translated as is: "In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the
Word". Sorry. Now you could perhaps contend that the Word was the
Scriptures and not the Messiah, but then there is John 1:14 which
negates that: John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among
us" which the Greek text has as: And the word became flesh and lived
among us.
John 1:14
(ASV) And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld
his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of
grace and truth.
(DRB) And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (and we saw his
glory, the glory as it were of the only begotten of the Father), full
of grace and truth.
(ISV) The Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We gazed on his
glory, the kind of glory that belongs to the Father's unique Son, full
of grace and truth.
(KJV) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of
grace and truth.
(KJV+) And2532 the3588 Word3056 was made1096 flesh,4561 and2532

full4134 of grace5485 and2532 truth.225
(KJVA) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
(KJVR) And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we
beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
(LITV - Literal Translation of the Holy Bible) And the Word became
flesh and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, glory as of
an only begotten from the Father, full of grace and of truth.
(The Scriptures 1998+) And the Word became flesh and pitched His tent1
among us, and we saw His esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of
a father, complete in favour and truth. Footnote: 1An indication that
His birth was during the Festival of Booths.
(YLT - Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible) And the Word
became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory,
glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
You used to just deny the Gospel of John, now you're ignoring that
tactic in favor of your new found corrupted version of John. By the
way, if they're so scholarly, why didn't they just delete John? They
do anything else they please.
You seem ignorant of the fact that you're revealing your own
character, or you just don't care as it's necessary in order to
persecute. You act very evil, Debra, due to hatred of the Messiah and
his believers, most likely.
Actually Debra Snow told me the facts behind his marriage and
initially posting as Mark and Felicity, and I'm tempted to tell you to
shut you up. But it's obviously not personal information you can be
trusted with. You're nosy, make assumptions with no evidence, and then
issue judgment and endless false witness. No wonder you don't want to
follow the Messiah.
I notice you don't criticize your fellow unbeliever Mark T for posting
his music lyrics (and his quotes of Peter Cameron, etc), hypocrite.
I'd ask why not, but I already know.
OK, scholar, you tell us the difference. You have the mike now. Tell
us your great disproof of the preachings of Jesus.
Mark 10
2 And the Pharisees came to him, and asked him, Is it lawful for a
man to put away his wife? tempting him.
3 And he answered and said unto them, What did Moses command you?
4And they said, Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement, and to
put her away.
5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your
heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and
female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave
to his wife;
8 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain,
but one flesh.
9 What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
10 And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
11 And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and
marry another, committeth adultery against her.
12 And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to
another, she committeth adultery.
Matthew 5
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give
her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving
for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and
whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
