Buckminster Fuller! Is there a term for a word that can be both a noun and a verb? Jesus 'the Word made flesh' - it would follow that God is both noun and verb.Curate Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209317942574766814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673636899101181419.post-69312037707356719332009-12-28T09:16:24.721+00:002009-12-28T09:16:24.721+00:00Anders Branderud - hello and thank you for your co...Anders Branderud - hello and thank you for your comment. My answer to your comment is from the New Testament, where the teachings of the Messiah are found:<br /><br />Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulful them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practises and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."<br /><br />Please read Matthew's gospel from chapter 5 to chapter 7:11.<br /><br />Jesus was not merely a Prophet, so your interpretation of Deuteronomy 13:1-6 does not fit for him, in the view of Christians. <br /><br />Peace be with you.Curate Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209317942574766814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673636899101181419.post-59314694540298979212009-12-28T03:01:16.961+00:002009-12-28T03:01:16.961+00:00Ah, word, words, Word, our subjects.

You wrote: “In our New Testament reading, the written word called The Letter to the Hebrews, it is accepted that God speaks to us in various ways, and notably through the prophets, but the writer states, ‘in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son’.”<br /><br />The Creator inspires people in different ways, but everything He says is in accordance with His Torah.<br /><br />According to Devarim (“Deuteronomy”) 13:1-6 in Hebrew, any prophet who adds or subtracts a mitzwah (commandment) from Torah is not a valid prophet. So for example, a person who says that it is okay to eat pork– he is not a valid prophet. The Creator does not change (Malakhi 3:6). This is also what Ribi Yehoshua ha-Mashiakh (the Messiah) from Nazareth taught (his teachings are found here: www.netzarim.co.il)<br /><br />All the best, Anders BranderudAnders Branderudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590420531095058999noreply@blogger.com
