As I mentioned earlier, etz hayim (in the context of being a central Jewish religious invention - whatever that means) is medieval. It's probably more modern than the Star_of_David.iskander wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 5:59 am e: Where does Origen deny that Jesus is Carpenter?

The tree of life is a central religious invention in the Jewish religion, but it is of minimal importance in Christianity.
"The phrase “torat emet” is part of the Torah service during which we sing etz hayyim hee, “it is a tree of life.” Since we are holding the scroll at the time, it is evident that Torah is what is meant here "

It is a very unusual OP for the Jewish section in the Biblical Criticism & History Forum - Investigating the roots of western civilization (ye olde BC&H forum of IIDB lives on...), but these kind of OPs are often found in the Christian section of this forum.semiopen wrote: ↑Thu Jun 21, 2018 7:45 amAs I mentioned earlier, etz hayim (in the context of being a central Jewish religious invention - whatever that means) is medieval.

This is an interesting subject, but the degenerate xian views (a tree growing from Adam's phallus, etc) which open the discussion are not helpful.
I would have guessed that was part of the liturgy for a long time, but according to the wiki, not so much.She is a tree of life to those who grasp her, And whoever holds on to her is happy.
(Prov. 3:18 TNK)
I didn't notice any clarification for what "long" means, nor did I see any talmudic references.Rabbinic tradition has long recognized abidance in the Torah as the restorative promise of the tree of life (Schorsch, ÒTrees for Life,Ó 243Ð44; Schneersohn,The Tree of Life). Proverbs 3:18 provides support for this interpretation by portraying the Torah as embodying wisdom. This correspondence is reaffirmed by the quotation of Prov 3:18 after a public reading of the Torah. Likewise, the seven-branched, tree-shaped menorah is symbolic of the Torah as the tree of life, as well as the light-giving presence of God. In rabbinic expression, heresy and disobedience of the Torah are likened to the destruction of trees (Schorsch, ÒTrees for Life,Ó 244; Beale,
Revelation, 235). This sense of the sacredness of creation is meant to be a reflection of faith in the Creator: The way a person lives, in reverent honor of God and His creation, is to be a continual affirmation of life, with God as the ultimate source of all life.

You are now proselytizing. Perhaps the moderators are taking a gnostic view of this.
I've already shown that there is no Jewish equivalent to this degenerate line of inquiry.
A Jewish response to my complaint would be to stop posting on this forum and simply start a new thread on the Yoshke forum, perhaps linking to this one. But, of course, why should you be sensitive to other peoples feelings.
