Non-Jews. The word “ger” comes from the Hebrew root word gar ( גר ) meaning to “live” or “sojourn [with]“. In the Hebrew Bible “ger” defined as “stranger” or “sojourner.” The Hebrew “ger” (in post-Biblical times translated as “proselyte”) literally means “stranger” and refers to a non-Israelite who lived among the Israelite community. When the Torah commands compassion and equal justice for the ger, it is referring to these “strangers.” But Rabbinic tradition interpreted the word ger as also referring to proselytes.
Question: "What does the Bible say about homosexuality? Is homosexuality a sin? Homosexuality is the manifestation of sexual desire toward a member of one's own sex or the erotic activity with a member of the same sex. The Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Leviticus 18:22 identifies homosexual sex as an abomination, a detestable sin. Romans 1:26-27 declares homosexual desires and actions to be shameful, unnatural, lustful, and indecent.

God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that people become homosexuals because of sin (Romans 1:24-27) and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as some people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person’s choosing to sin by giving in to sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger/rage,...

Do we not have our own holidays, our own traditions? Do we need to (if even in a secular fashion) pay tribute to a holiday that was traditionally marked by pogroms and other displays of Anti-Semitism, and just plain rooted in paganism? Should we engage in the frenzy of excess that many engage in during December, and then suffer the feelings of gui ...

You have to love it. Here is another "Christian" group proclaiming that "the end of the world" begins on May 21, 2011. Maybe it's just me, but I thought Yeshua said, "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." Mat 24:36. Christ doesn't even know when He is returning, yet we have these peo ...
Remember that Christianity is false and Yeshua was / is Jewish. The Jews (Yehudim) who were originally Hebrews, were then called Israel all worshiped The ONE (echad) God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. Maran Rabbeinu Yeshua said, "I am the Way -- and the Truth and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through me. - Yochanan 14:6 Maran Rabb ...
