GHOST, OR REAL?
YESHUA APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES
From Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36-43; John 20:19-31
Sunday evening came, and the disciples were gathered to eat. The doors were shut, for they were afraid of the religious leaders. Cleopas and his companion had just returned from Emmaus to report that they had seen Yeshua. While they gave their report, Yeshua suddenly appeared in the midst of them. [Peace be to you,] Yeshua said. But they were frightened for they thought they were seeing a ghost. [Why are you so troubled?] Yeshua asked. [Why do you let doubts persist? Look at My hands and feet, so that you will know that it is truly I. Touch Me and be sure, for a spirit has no flesh and bones which you see that I have.] The disciples were filled with joy, but could still hardly believe it, even though Yeshua showed them His hands and feet. [Have you anything to eat?] He asked. When they gave Yeshua some broiled fish, He ate it as they watched. Yeshua then spoke to them again. [Peace be to you. As the Father has sent Me, so I also send you.] Yeshua breathed on His disciples and said, [Receive Ruach HaKodesh. If you forgive a person’s sins, those sins will truly be forgiven. If you do not forgive a person’s sins, they will remain with that person.] But Thomas, who was also called {Didymus,} or {The Twin,} was not with the other apostles when Yeshua came. Later when they told Thomas, [We saw the Adonai!] he could not believe. [I will not believe unless I see the nail scars in His hands and put my finger into them, and put my hand into the wound in His side,] he told them. Eight days later Thomas was with the disciples when Yeshua appeared to them again. [Peace be to you,] Yeshua said. Then Yeshua spoke to Thomas. [Put your finger into the nail scars in My hands,] He said. [Then place your hand in the wound on My side. Do not be a doubter, but a believer.] [My Adonai and my YHVH!] Thomas exclaimed. [You have believed in Me because you have seen Me,] Yeshua told Thomas. [Blessed are those who do not see Me, but still believe in Me.] Yeshua showed many other signs to His disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But those recorded have been included so that you may believe that Yeshua is truly the Moshiach, YHVH’s Son, and that believing, you may have life in His Name.
COMMENTARY
BIBLE-TIME TOMBS
In the ancient Middle East, thousands of years before YHVH called Abraham out of Ur, people buried their dead in shallow holes dug in the dirt floors of their homes. The bodies were laid in the ground without coffins and covered with earth. But the ancient Israelites did not do this, because the Law of Moses declared them unclean if they touched a grave. They buried their dead outside the village, away from the life of the town. During Old Testament times, the dead were often buried in caves sealed with stone. Several generations of one family might be buried in the same tomb. When a member of the family died, his body was laid on a stone shelf carved from the rock wall of the cave. After the flesh had decayed, the bones were moved to another corner of the tomb so that the ledge could be used for the next burial. By New Testament times, burial customs had begun to change. Although the poor were still buried just as their forefathers had been, rich men, built tombs crowned with monuments to themselves. To prevent their bones from being mixed with those of their ancestors, some were buried in a stone coffin called a {sarcophagus.} The coffins were placed in special niches carved in the wall of the tomb. Because a sarcophagus took so much room, tombs had to be made bigger. Soon they became large underground mazes called {catacombs.} Some of the chambers were so large that the family could gather there to eat the funeral feast after the burial of their dead. The early believers could hide from their persecutors in these underground labyrinths because they often had secret openings above ground.

Trading for El Elyon
I'm starting this group for two reasons.
1.) To provide a place for myself and other believers to post their trades.
I am a big beiever that trading is more about faithfulness to stay a course than it is about anything flashy. So I will be attempting to set an example by posting my trades here along with a record of the level of adherence to the trading plan. Others are encouraged to do the same.
2.) To provide a place for learning and discussion regarding trading. It is a difficult field in a corrupt world and we could all use some believing company.
Welcome all and may Yah's will be done!
