Unfortunately the analyst often interprets improvement as a result of his treatment.

There were people present from every nation, each heard the Apostles speak in his own language so that everyone could understand. The Apostle Peter preached a great sermon on the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Acts 2:37, Luke says, "They were pricked in their hearts and said, what must we do?". In the next verse the answer is given. "Repent you and be baptized, everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, for the promise is unto you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call". In verse 41, it states, "Then they that gladly received His word were baptized and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls".

... This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets: "He shall be called a Nazarene." (Matthew 2:23) a. Nowhere is this statement found in scripture and it has been attacked by Bible skeptics as proof Matthew was not inspired. b. Matthew was in fact drawing upon three scriptural concepts and applying them to Jesus. c. Atheists, Jews and "Bible trashers" say Matthew got it wrong because Old Testament prophecy says nothing about Jesus being "called a Nazarene". 2. Mirroring the first century Jewish Midrashic style Matthew makes three prophetic connections that the messiah would be called a "Nazarene". a. First: "Jesus the branch (Isa 11:1) who lived in branch land (Nazareth)". b. Second: Jesus was holy (LXX replaced Nazarite with holy in Judges 13:7; 16:7). c. Third: "Jesus was despised (Isa 53:3; Ps 22:6) because he came from Nazareth which had a bad reputation. (Jn 1:46)" 3.

The Lord said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them." 8.

The other built of large carefully dressed blocks and in a better state of preservation, is beautifully situated near the village spring, overlooking a green valley. The inner dimensions of the building are 46 feet by 50 feet. It had an inner colonnade on three sides of the hall, of which the stylobate and some bases and column drums still remain in position. The main entrance to the building was on the south, the side facing Jerusalem, and was decorated with architectural motifs. Lining the long walls were stone benches to seat the congregation. The lintel of the main entrance, on which an eagle was depicted between wreaths, was found in the debris. On one of the column drums was a Hebrew inscription reading: 'Jose son of Tanhum made this shrine. Let him be blessed.' Both buildings are among the early group of synagogues (i.e. they date from the 2nd-3rd centuries AD). The site is identified with el-Jish in Upper Galilee."

Lawyers and priests, share a similar trade. But this is not the way God intended things to be.

He had done this because his father had had (six) sons by Leah, and two by his mother, Rachel; therefore, he set five portions before Benjamin, and he himself took one; accordingly they had (six) portions, as many as the sons of Leah received. 15.

The books of Nehemiah and Ezra give us the names of three governors: Sheshbazzar: The first governor: 533-520 BC (Ezra 1:7-8; 5:14) Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah."

The apostles were told what to write in the Holy Scriptures which are the New Testament, for Jesus promised, "But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to you remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you". There are several things a believer must do before he becomes a member of the Lord's church. One of these is to believe, another is to repent (to turn away from a sinful life) and yet another is to be baptized into Christ for the remission of sins. Few teach baptism for the remission of sins and this requirement is yet another marking of the Lord's church, for Acts 2:38-47 reads, in part, "Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins . . .

Mathison, Reformed Protestant, 2001, p 280) The Holy Spirit is the ultimate criterion of truth, but He bears witness to the truth through this reciprocal relationship between Christian Scripture, the Christian Church, and the Christian creed.

How, indeed, could one remain silent?

Why Unafraid to Speak Out In Retrospect, it could be said that the clash between Jehovah's Witnesses and Nazism, or National Socialism, was all but inevitable. Why?

Notice that the task was too great for one man. If Moses' seat really was an antitype of the Papal chair in Rome, then the Catholic church should have a 6 tier organization: the pope + "leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens". But the Roman Catholic church only has three tiers: Pope, Bishops, Priests. It is also important that while Moses was the actual law giver, those who "succeeded him" had no power to make new Laws. Christ and his apostles and prophets revealed new laws. Contrary to this pattern in both the Old and ... ...

398: Book of Jeremiah: Bible textual variants analysed
Jeremiah probably wrote 2 different inspired versions of Jeremiah. There are 2700 more words in the Masoretic Jeremiah than there are in the Septuagint Jeremiah. The two texts have all the earmarks of being "synoptic" versions of the same material. Three Jeremiah scrolls were found in Cave 4 at Qumran. Two (4Q70a, 4Q72 Jerc) follow the Masoretic and a third (4Q71b) validate the shorter Septuagint version because Jer 10:6-8, 10 is found in the Masoretic (MT) but absent in both the Septuagint and ... The shorter form may represent an earlier recension of Jeremiah" (Tov 1981b). III. Dead Sea Scroll 4Q71 validates the Septuagint: 1.

Greek "archisynagogos" is used three different times in the Theodotos inscription dating to c. 18 BC. e. "(Archisynagogos), one of the most important titles, and almost exclusively Jewish, meaning 'head of the synagogue', appears in several donors' inscriptions (Lifshitz 1967:nos. 79, 66, 74; Roth-Gerson 1987:171-72, nos. 19, 24, 27; Hachlili 1998:400).
