Commented on I had enough

A sensible thing to do, usually, is to quit once you have something else to go to. In my native language we have a proverb; "Do not let the bird in your hand fly in exchange for the one on the fence".

But it sounds like the decision has already been made.  Life is so amazing; we never know what great surprises lie ahead of us.  We can never limit life to rules and... proverbs :-)

God speeds!

Does anybody find these posts of any use? I believe I can bring to the table insights, gathered from various grammar books and a little knowledge of Modern Hebrew/Modern Aramaic, in a concise form that allows one to quickly and easily come up to speeds with the Hebrew/Aramaic alphabet and pronunciation. 

For example, I am hoping that lesson on alef should demystify that amazing consonant.  See unifyd.tv/community/posts/aleph

Christianity started as another sect inside Judaism. Initially "Christians" met at the Temple and in Synagogues like the rest of the Jews. They were not called "Christians" but rather Nazarene, while inside Judaism still. Over time the leadership managed to expel the believers in Jesus (Ieshua) from the Temple and the Synagogues. The Christian (or Mshikhaya in Aramaic) name came first in Antioch, a non-Jewish city.

In my opinion both Christianity and Judaism lost tremendously by parting ways.  And even if parted, they still influenced each other. So many of the teachings of Jesus, even if they may not be accepted as such, will be found in Judaism as well. And of course, Christianity being fully born inside Judaism it has still preserved al LOT from Judaism. But, by having to separate from Judaism, a lot has also been lost and a non-Jewish, Greek way of thinking and understanding has slowly crept in.

Rabbi AA, believed both Old Testament and the New Testament were divinely inspired.

Please let me know if you find this useful. I wished somebody explained Aleph to me like how I just did here. It took me a long time until I got to this understanding. Next lesson will be Beth on another day.

I begin to realize that if I post everything how I initially envisioned, it might be overwhelming for totally novice to the Hebrew language. 

So I am going to start first with the Alphabet and short sentences. 

In an another thread I'll post about Aleph.

OperationQ I apologize for hypothesizing about a possible scenario for which I have no evidence that it is the case.  Got carried away, sorry.
