The genesis of this exegesis came upon the occurrence of one of those instances Mr. Strauch points out in his video, the last on his list, “Disagreements.” The school which the writer has been attending for his “higher education” has had, in his opinion, its greatest strength in having had a quite varied set of …

We spoke in the Post “Fulfill – Matthew to Hebrew” about connections of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) to the Torah Portion Mishpatim (Exodus 21-24).  It is important to note that in Matthew 5:17 Yeshua says he has not come to annul “the Torah and the Prophets,” before he moves to expound upon …

This will be the last Post on the “It is written” phrase, with connections and context, which extends from 1 Corinthians to 1 Peter of the Greek Scriptures.  As before, index verses are in red, referent in indigo. ⦁1 Corinthians 1:18-24 ESV  18 For the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, …

Just as in the last Post, the Greek Scriptures in the book of Acts, the reader will see very extensive use of the “It is written” technique of clarifying the meaning of the discussion in the action at the time of the writing of Romans.  The phrase, followed by a quotation, takes the reader not …

We proceed next with Acts, which was written by the same author as the Gospel of Luke. And again, index verses are in red, referent verses in indigo. You will see that the use of this technique continues extensively throughout Acts and later, into Paul’s writings. ⦁Acts 1:18-22 – of course, speaking of Judas Iscariot …
