Biblical Hebrew Forum

Shoshanna,
I don't expect you to agree that Romans is the word of G-d.
However, you should realize that every Christian believes it is
God's word.  You may not share our faith, but I would hope that
you would show some respect.

You noted, "That is not detracting from this 
list's purported purposes of trying to understand the SIMPLE MEANING 
 of the HEBREW written Torah by means of linguistics."
Should we ignore all those Jews who spoke Hebrew as their native tongue
and who commented on the Hebrew text? Remember, Paul was a Pharisaical
Jew as were most of the New Testament authors. This forum could ignore 
the New Testament. But then someone else could suggest we should also ignore, 
the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mishnah, the Talmud, and Rashi.

Sincerely,
Michael Abernathy
