Hebrew Voices #230 – A Deeply Human Jewish God
In this episode of Hebrew Voices #230 - A Deeply Human Jewish God, Nehemia talks with Dr. Avi Kadish, a Medieval Jewish Philosophy expert and a Modern Day Masorete, discussing his work on producing an extremely accurate Tanakh text, the human-like character of Elohim versus the Aristotelian Greek view of some past Rabbis, and the part Christian texts played in one scholar's deeper understanding of Torah.
I look forward to reading your comments!

Franklin was not a ‘Deist’ in the modern sense of the word. Etymology is the study of how words change their meaning over time. So, because of Etymology you are committing the informal fallacy of Equivocation because of a homograph.
Sources (all are available on the web):
The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States, Benjamin Morris, 1864 – In the section on Franklin, Franklin writes that god is very interested in his creation and interacts with it.
1806, 1829, 1855, 1907 version of Webster’s dictionary – The definition of Deist is not the same as it is today; the definition changed in the 1950.
Hebrew Voices #230 – A Deeply Human Jewish God. What a fantastic discussion. This has to be one of my top three Hebrew voices. Just loved your conversation such a breath a fresh air. Thank you so much for sharing this shalom.
It amazes me how you both don’t notice the Hebrew verbs in Exodus 24:10,11 You see in verse 10 the writer is tells you that the 74 men saw the God of Israel. But then in verse 11 the writer clarifies by telling you in what sense they see God. It uses a different verb chaza not ra’ah like in verse 10. That means they had a vision of God so therefore there is no contradiction against Exodus 33:20.Technically they didn’t see God in any physical form but God shared with them a vision of his presence.
