The Professor, Rabbi and Preacher Who Confronted the Elephants in the Room!

We were known and often introduced as the Professor, Rabbi, and Preacher .  Ike Tennison  was the Professor,  Jeffrey Leynor  was the Rabbi, and I ( Jim Myers ) was the Preacher. Everyone knows that when a professor, a rabbi, and a preacher -- two Christians and one Jew -- are sitting at the table discussing Jewish and Christian Scriptures --  there are some very big elephants in the room .

Hillel and Jesus: A Kingdom and Eternal Life Without Human Institutions

  Rabbi Leynor wrote this on October 23, 2014. “Studying the Bible and discussing its ancient words, concepts and ideas is something I enjoy very much. But, holding the hand of a person that is about to take their last breath or that has just discovered they have lost someone they loved very much is something very different . . .

Choose Life, Do Tov & walk humbly with “Your Higher Power” (whatever that might or might not be!)” Continue reading at: https://mailchi.mp/383cc61077c6/hillel-and-jesus-a-kingdom-and-eternal-life-without-human-institutions

The Daily Prayer to Our Father: Part 3

  As you will see in future emails, almost all of the teachings of Jesus are about the Kingdom of Elohim . The next three lines of this prayer are very important and related to our daily lives . Give us our food daily. Our Father wants everyone to have food . He has created everything needed to produce crops and herds that provide the foods we eat. The one thing He doesn’t do is personally deliver food to each person. Continue reading at - https://mailchi.mp/33931864d3ce/the-daily-prayer-to-our-father-part-3
