Essentially, this book is a commentary on the man responsible for being the architect of the main doctrines of Christianity, Saul of Tarsus, commonly known as The Apostle Paul. I have included commentaries about Jesus of Nazareth, and the resurrection, near the end of the book. I also comment on Talmudism, the Jewish religion whose doctrine revolves around rabbinic oral tradition. When Talmudists mention 'Torah' they mean the 'Oral Torah' - oral tradition!

Essentially, this book is a commentary on the man responsible for being the architect of the main doctrines of Christianity, Saul of Tarsus, commonly known as The Apostle Paul. I have included commentaries about Jesus of Nazareth, and the resurrection, near the end of the book. I also comment on Talmudism, the Jewish religion whose doctrine revolves around rabbinic oral tradition. When Talmudists mention 'Torah' they mean the 'Oral Torah' - oral tradition! When I mention Torah, I mean the written Torah of Moses! All passages from the Hebrew-language based Jewish Scriptures, herein, are taken from 'The Pill Tanakh: Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures,' self-published as a three volume book, Volume 1: Torah (the 5 books of Moses), Volume 2: Neviim (Prophets) and Volume 3: Ketuvim (Writings). All passages for the Christian Scriptures, also known as The New Testament, are taken from the King James Version (KJV). When I reference a passage of Scripture, my intention is to show enough surrounding verses to provide the contextual relevance. Points and arguments require the context of a reference for an accurate assessment. Thus, including enough surrounding verses to express the given context is important to intelligently discern what a passage says.I am aware that the subjects at hand may be controversial. I am of the opinion that our beliefs should always hold up to outside scrutiny, especially if we wish them to be considered valid by others! If our tenets and beliefs cannot be shown to be founded upon sound principles, which can be backed up with relevant documentation, then what we attribute to be faith may rather, instead, be a certain fanaticism or just plain zeal! Fanaticism may be founded upon sincere and strongly held beliefs, or just on our feelings! In My Humble Opinion (IMHO), strongly held beliefs and feelings do not equal or substitute for a profound knowledge and understanding, nor should we expect them to! It is with these sentiments that I hope you will find the reading enjoyable, and even more so that you may find it instructive and even challenging.
I have been retired since May of 2019. I spent my career in the Printing Industry, the last part of which I worked in Professional Services as a Program Manager/Programmer. I worked for several OEM manufacturers in that capacity (Creo Products, Eastman Kodak, KForce contract with HP, Inc.). As a layperson, I began reading the "Bible" regularly in early 1980 and have read it all of the way through pretty much every year since then. I would read some Hebrew in addition to English after I had begun learning Hebrew formally since the 1980's. In early 2012, I began reading the Hebrew portion first in my regular reading, followed by the English. In 2019, I completed writing a program I had begun in 2015, in the C++ programming language, where I was able to convert the UTF-16 (wide-character) Unicode Font-Encoded source from the Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC) to a UTF-8 Web-Hebrew Font-Encoding (in programming terms, it was like 'trying to herd cats!'). I then set up my online Hebrew-English Tanakh from that encoding, placing the Hebrew Scriptures side-by-side a modified JPS 1917 English translation. I put that completed Hebrew-English Tanakh on my website, the-iconoclast.org in September, 2019. During the course of updating my website, I decided I wanted to put a page together about the Ten Commandments. It was in that process that I discovered the uniqueness of the Leningrad Codex in its verse separations which I also found had not been adhered to by any other publication, particularly those which had claimed the Leningrad Codex as their source for the Hebrew Language based Jewish Scriptures! It was from that effort which led me to decide to write my previous book, The Real God Code: The Ten Commandments In The Leningrad Codex! In January 2022, after several years of programming and hand editing, I started typesetting this volume of the Hebrew-English Jewish Scriptures.
