    Ancient Hebrew Word Meanings Law ~ torah

    To interpret the Hebrew word torah as law is about the same as interpreting the word father as disciplinarian. While the father is a disciplinarian he is much more and in the same way torah is much more than law. The word torah is derived from the root yarah meaning to throw. This can be any kind of throwing such as a rock or an arrow from the bow or throwing the finger in a direction to point something out. Another word derived from this root is the word moreh which can mean and archer, one who throws the arrow, or a teacher, as one who points the way. The word torah is literally the teachings of the teacher or parent. When a parent is teaching a child a new task and he demonstrates a willingness to learn but fails to grasp the teaching completely the parent does not punish the child but rather encourages and builds on the teaching. In contrast to this a law is a set of rules that if not observed correctly will result in punishment and there is no room for teaching. The torah of God are his teachings to his children which are given in love to encourage and strengthen.

    Ancient Hebrew Word Meanings Command ~ mitzvah

    The word command, as well as commandment, is used to translate the Hebrew word mits'vah but does not properly convey the meaning of mits'vah. The word command implies words of force or power as a General commands his troops. The word mits'vah is better understood as a directive. To see the picture painted by this word it is helpful to look at a related word, tsiyon meaning a desert or a landmark. The Ancient Hebrews were a nomadic people who traveled the deserts in search of green pastures for their flocks. A nomad uses the various rivers, mountains, rock outcroppings, etc as landmarks to give them their direction. The verb form of mits'vah is tsavah meaning to direct one on a journey. The mits'vah of the Bible are not commands, or rules and regulations, they are directives or landmarks that we look for to guide us. The word tsiyon meaning landmark is also the word translated as Zion, the mountain of God but, not just a mountain, it is the landmark

    Gehenna
    The place where children were sacrificed to the god Moloch was originally in the "valley of the son of Hinnom," to the south of Jerusalem (Josh. xv. 8, passim; II Kings xxiii. 10; Jer. ii. 23; vii. 31-32; xix. 6, 13-14). For this reason the valley was deemed to be accursed, and "Gehenna therefore soon became a figurative equivalent for "hell. GEHENNA - JewishEncyclopedia.com

    What's your take on the word Nephilim? I read from Sacharia Sitchin it's something like "those who from the heavens came down" like aliens. Others say giants and what not.

    I believe you mean Nephilim

    The Nephilim /ˈnɛfɨˌlɪm/ were offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" before the Deluge according to Genesis 6:4; the name is also used in reference to giants who inhabited Canaan at the time of the Israelite conquest of Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. A similar biblical Hebrew word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors. Nephilim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The Book of Enoch (also 1 Enoch;[1] Ge'ez: መጽሐፈ ሄኖክ mäts'hafä henok) is an ancient Jewish religious work, traditionally ascribed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. It is not part of the biblical canon as used by Jews, apart from Beta Israel. It is regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, but not by any other Christian group. Book of Enoch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    The book of Enoch can't be found in the Bible.

    The book of Enoch talks a lot on this topic those who from the heavens came down, it would depend on what we call an aliens.

    From what I understand in the book of Enoch there were angel's assigned to watch over man and they decided to

    Now I could be wrong on this but it sound close to the book of Enoch in the description though.

    Sounds like aliens or gods whatever came down here for whatever reason and started making sexy time with ape earth women. So some of the bosses got ...... off or jealous and decided to wipe everyone out with a flood. But somebody leaked like Private Manning and you have Noah and the ark with survivors. Awesome.

    I'm not really sure what you are trying to say here, but since Enoch is not in the Bible, and could have been, IMHO, the nephilim are the fallen angels, which are demons. And yes, demons can have sex with women. It's not aliens or gods, there is only Almighty God and He didn't do this. He threw satan and his angelic followers out of heaven. I'm not sure about your Private Manning????? God did flood the earth and Noah and his family were within the ark. I'm not sure this helped in anyway, but there you have it! :)

    Aliens and god if you choose to see that then, it's your choice I don't.

    The Bible doesn't talk about ape earth women at all so what are you getting at.

    I have no idea what your talking about "some of the bosses" or this "somebody leaked like Private Manning and you have Noah and the ark"

    The Nephilim /ˈnɛfɨˌlɪm/ were offspring of the "sons of God" and the "daughters of men" before the Deluge according to Genesis 6:4; the name is also used in reference to giants who inhabited Canaan at the time of the Israelite conquest of Canaan according to Numbers 13:33. A similar biblical Hebrew word with different vowel-sounds is used in Ezekiel 32:27 to refer to dead Philistine warriors.

    I don't know exactly the time or how this happened though the Bible talks about giants after the flood.

    Instead of taken the author Sacharia Sitchin thoughts on the subject why not do your own study on Nephilim, Noah's ark and the things that seem to interest you. Here's a free online Bible that you can search out for your own answers. KING JAMES BIBLE ONLINE SEARCH

    I know there is a God but for those who have doubt that there is no God, Let's say for argument sake there is a God and we will all stand in front of God to give an answer on what God tried to teach us, I don't think If we tell God, I got my idea's from this dude or that dude and I thought there was no need for me to search out for the truth. I seriously don't believe that will hold much weight with God.

    Definitely something like that. The book of Genesis touches on those in my interpretation.

    There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. -Genesis 6:4

    The New American Standard Version Translation reads like this;

    The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore {children} to them. Those were the mighty men who {were} of old, men of renown.
    - New American Standard Version (1995)

    Other similar translations here: GENESIS 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of me...

    Context:

    The Wickedness of Man
    …4The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown. 5Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6The LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.…

    Then the Lord destroyed the Earth by Water shortly thereafter;

    King James Bible
    And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

    The Bible States THIS will be the same situation in the 'last days';

    The Coming of the Kingdom
    …28"It was the same as happened in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; 29but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. 30"It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.… Luke 17:28 - 30

    Alot of believers think there are HYBRID humans on the Earth now.... Half Human, Half Fallen Angels, Demons....... it's not a 'good' combination.

    Aliens? No, deceptive Demons in disguise. :glare:

    Evil likes to change definitions..... give itself lofty and/or confusing names. A Rose by any other name is still a Rose. Bad analogy I know, but YKWIM :blinking:

    Very interesting stuff.....

    I will continue this thread once I arrive in OHIO..... (right now I'm getting things packed to head out).
