Jew and Gentile
This blog was inspired by a friend’s thread on Facebook, although I have been wanting to write on the subject for a long while, this thread helped me put some things in order to be able to write on it. The subject of this blog is about the responsibilities between Israel and the nations. There …
Justice Tempered With Mercy
I have been a student of the Hebrew Scriptures for over 10 years and of the Seven Universal Commandments known as the Noahide Laws found within the Hebrew Scriptures for 2 years.
