PROPHECY WATCHERS MAGAZINE, OCTOBER 2023, FEATURES MY ARTICLE

THE SEPTUAGINT AND THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MESSIAH The October issue of the Prophecy Watcher’s magazine features my article on why the Septuagint and not the Masoretic Text (the basis of today’s Protestant Bible) tells the truth about who the Messiah is. I believe this article should be read by every Christian who cares about […]

A NEW JUDAISM AND A NEW BIBLE – CORRUPTED

A NEW JUDAISM AND A NEW BIBLE – CORRUPTED

The Septuagint (LXX) Compared to the Masoretic Text Judaism was in a crisis after the Temple was destroyed in AD 70. The basis of its religion had been rituals performed in the Temple that could only be performed there by their law. The Priests were gone. The Sanhedrin was gone. So were the Sadducees. Only […]

WHEN DID NIMROD LIVE? DID HE LEAD THE BABEL REBELLION?

WHEN DID NIMROD LIVE? DID HE LEAD THE BABEL REBELLION?

David Rohl, a highly-regarded Egyptologist, points out that to discover who Nimrod is, we must consider all the names by which he is known – for there are many historical or quasi-historical figures which allude to the biblical Nimrod. Says Rohl: Assur [one such name] lived in the city of Nineveh’ and was the eponymous […]

THE APOCRYPHA, PSEUDEPIGRAPHA, ADAMIC BOOKS, AND OTHER WRITINGS THAT DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT

THE APOCRYPHA, PSEUDEPIGRAPHA, ADAMIC BOOKS, AND OTHER WRITINGS THAT DIDN’T MAKE THE CUT

The King James Bible Contained the Apocrypha? DO TELL! Much to the chagrin of King James Only advocates, it isn’t just Catholic and Orthodox Bibles that include the Apocrypha. The early editions of the King James Bible, including the revered 1611 KJV, also contained the Apocrypha. It is a part of our history, and despite […]

WHAT BOOKS WERE IN, AND WHAT BOOKS WERE OUT? THE APOCRYPHA AND THE BIBLE

WHAT BOOKS WERE IN, AND WHAT BOOKS WERE OUT? THE APOCRYPHA AND THE BIBLE

The Latin Vulgate and Its Reliance on the Septuagint When we arrive at the time of Jerome at the outset of the fifth century A.D., it is perfectly clear that the canon for the Christian Church was a settled issue.  It included books “of the first order” (those acclaimed canonical) and “other books” from the […]

CHRISTIANS KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES GUIDING THE SELECTION OF BOOKS IN OUR CANON

CHRISTIANS KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES GUIDING THE SELECTION OF BOOKS IN OUR CANON

It’s not understood all that well.  How did the Protestant Church settle on the books that should be included in our Bible? There are several erroneous ideas about how this happened. And there is little understanding about the books that were once included in the broader Christian Bible and later were banished. And today, several other […]

A NEW JUDAISM AND A HUMAN MESSIAH?

A NEW JUDAISM AND A HUMAN MESSIAH?

Only a few short years after the destruction of Herod’s Temple, the rabbis (aka “sages”) formed an instruction academy in the village of Jamnia (outside of today’s Tel Aviv), allegedly with permission directly from Titus himself to preserve the Jewish religion. The rabbis would teach young students the ways of the Torah, preparing them for […]
