RE: [TruthTalk] Re [Truth Talk] Saved -- Salvation -- and the pigpen

I don’t know, but you might find such reference in the Talmud.  Many times this was quoted by first century JEWISH Believers.  Izzy   But did they find the OT verse that Matthew was referring to in Matthew 2:23 when he wrote: "and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."  Love, Caroline   Actually, Judy  --  Caroline is making a good point.   You have argued against many times that scriptures "says what it says."   Yet, you are not willing accept your own demands.  I am not aware that anyone makes your argument. Apparently, "Nazarene" has something to do with "branch,"  "sprout,"  or "shoot" and may be tied to to Is 11:1.   I don't know  -- going to Numbers 6:2 doesn't come close, for me.  Jd
