Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
I had once heard that one of the remarkable thing about the creation account in Genesis, as compared to the other creation accounts of the cultures of the surrounding area is that God creates the universe out of nothing, or ‘ex nihilio’; w…
So I was spending some time with the Hebrew under the Cain and Abel narrative in Genesis 4. I noticed a peculiarity in the Hebrew in God’s instructions to Cain after his offering was rejected. I think it may challenge the way that the th…
I was reading Psalm 22 (from this question) and I found this verse:
Psalms 22:21 (KJV)

This is a long and sometimes rambling account of my investigation into the creation account, specifically with regard to the word “Boker” or morning. It is one of the most fascinating concepts I have ever discovered with regard to the Tora…
In Exodus (e.g. 26:14), we learn one of the coverings for the tabernacle is to be made of “תחש” (tachash) skins. The translation of this term appears to be especially difficult or contentious as there is little consensus between translatio…
