Looking for some home decor with Hebrew letters or phrases etc used in the Torah observant walk. Also shopping for cool items I may want for Sukkot. Any good websites or links to things that people personally make?
I'm sure you've heard of the Bible Codes in which you take every 5th or 15th or whatever letter from the text of the Bible and look for words formed by those letters. It can get pretty complicated because it's only valid if you're using the original Hebrew. Since ancient manuscripts often have minor variations in spelling or individual words, you could get different results depending on which manuscripts you use, and that's if you can get the actual text of any ancient manuscripts at all. Like I said, it can get complicated.
Fortunately, I'm talking about something else entirely: chiasms! Or chiasmi if you want to be really technical.
A chiasm is a way of organizing a text--or even a speech--so that the second half mirrors the first half. Although modern writers sometimes use them to make short, catchy slogans, ancient writers frequently used them as the structure for broad story arcs. The ancient Greeks, Anglo-Saxons, and other cultures used them when recording their great sagas.
The best thing about chiasms is that the Bible is full of them!
Sometimes they are used to help the reader remember the order of the story. Sometimes they highlight connections between different ideas or different characters. In doing so, they can reveal things about how the author saw his subject that you might not get from just reading the plain text. They're like a code, but they're not really a secret. Since ancient writers used them, ancient readers knew about them. We've just kinda forgotten.
Chiasms can add a lot of depth and even fun to your Bible study, and I want to show you how to find them!
The Chiasm Course starts on August 25th at Common Sense Bible Study and you can't sign up after it starts.

The first time we read about worship in the Bible is in Genesis 18;2, “And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,” As the Creator was coming to the tent of Abraham.

More and more people are coming to belief in Yeshua and His lifestyle of Torah, however, many have not yet followed Yeshua in His example of water immersion. In this two part video series, G. Steven Simons discusses how central and necessary water immersion is to the believer’s walk in the New Covenant and how water immersion is the place where the believer joins with Messiah and receives the “new heart” of obedience and the power by the spirit of YAH to fulfill the righteous requirement of Torah.
I know of a Torah follower in Yeshua who married a Buddhist. He justifies this by claiming that Torah doesn't forbid it. What do you all say about that?
