Learn Hebrew from a Messianic Perspective - Holy Language Institute

Torah says not to let the names of pagan gods even be heard from our lips.

Are we just supposed to say BEEEEP when reading these verses out loud? This is a takeaway from my newest Hebrew Verses study. We also talked about these questions: ~Enjoy hard work? There's a place in the kingdom for you. ~The story you tell yourself is the story you'll live, so who are you? ~Is there such a thing as a literal, word for word translation? ~How do these personal glimpses from the early movement make you feel? ~Be encouraged to stay in the words of Yeshua and his emissaries.
