561 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | Emmaus | 85280 | ||
Tim, Another point to consider is why new wine bursts old wine skins.The reason new wine bursts old wineskins is because new wine is fermenting and creating gases that stretch the old wineskins which have lost their flexibility and ability to stretch. Therefore the old wineskins burst, whereas new wineskins stretch and expand. Emmaus |

Tim, "I'm beginning to word(wonder) if anyone actually reads my posts! ;-) I was in this case going off on a stream of consiousness tangent that really wasn't directly related to your post. So you are not going crazy, it's just me whizzing by on a tangent. :-) Emmaus |

563 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | Emmaus | 85435 | ||
Acts 22, Allow me to shift for a moment from the alcohol subject to the four cups of Passover. Many hold that the cup of the Last Supper narratives was the third cup or cup of blessing, since Jesus and the apostles after singing a hymn (Matt 26:30), likely the great Hallel, then went out to the garden. You may find this article entitled, The Fourth Cup of interest. http://www.ewtn.com/library/answers/4thCup.htm Emmaus |

Schmidtd, If you look closely you will see that I did not say someone should provide information. I was answering the person (Roger 459)who said they should and suggested reasons why one might not. These posts were from August of 2004. Emmaus |

565 | "Flies" should read "given" | Eccl 10:1 | Emmaus | 158746 | ||
sid, It would seem to be a safe assumption from your post that you are not from the "conservative Protestant" school of exposition. What exactly is your point of reference within the Christian spectrum? I think we can safely rule out Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, Reformed and Methodist. Can we assume that you have had some formative training from some specific perspective, like just about everyone else? Emmaus |

Sid, I must say it will take me a while to absorb all that. What was the Resurrection in A.D. 1775 if I may ask? Emmaus |

sid, "... wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord. They belong in their fullness to Christ, Son of David. They complete and perfect the virtues of those who receive them. They make the faithful docile in readily obeying divine inspirations. " Are the seven listed above the "seven spirits of God"?

568 | Does "'almah" mean "virgin"? | Is 7:14 | Emmaus | 64861 | ||
djconklin, It is apparent that the writer's of the New Testament felt that alma in this case meant virgin. It would also be worth checking how the Septuagint translated the word into Greek, since they also were Jews and the choice of a Greek would imly their understanding of the Hebrew word. I believ the Greek uses a word explicit for virgin, whereas almah means a maiden of marriagable age, which may imply virginity but is not explicit like the Hebrew word betula. Also important is the name Emmanuel for the child referred to. There has been much ink spilled over this passage since the acendency of the modernist historico critical method of exegesis, but I do not think there was a lot of dispute before that, although I may be wrong.

570 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Emmaus | 93855 | ||
It might be interesting to see how the Jews who translated the Hebrew into Greek Sptuigint before the birth of Jesus translated almah in Isaiah. Did they use the same greek word for virgin seen in the Gospel or not? | ||||||
571 | Stripping the Bible of Virgin | Is 7:14 | Emmaus | 93856 | ||
Cyrus Gordon, a leading Jewish scholar who was formerly Professor of Assyriology and Egyptology, Dropsie College, wrote: The commonly held view that "virgin" is Christian, whereas "young woman" is Jewish is not quite true. The fact is that the Septuagint, which is the Jewish translation made in pre-Christian Alexandria, takes 'almah to mean "virgin" here. Accordingly the New Testament follows Jewish interpretation in Isaiah 7:14." http://www.jewsforjesus.org/answers/qa/almah.htm Emmaus |

572 | Isa. 7:14 -- "virgin" or "young woman"? | Is 7:14 | Emmaus | 104493 | ||
The key to understanding the translation of Isaiah 7:14 as "alma / young woman" or "parthenos / virgin" is the Septuagint (LXX) translation of the Hebrew old Testament into Greek by Jewish scholars in Alexandria about the year 250 B.C. These pre-Christian Jewish scholars(no after the fact Christian bias)chose to translate the Hebrew "alma" into the Greek "parthenos" which has the strict definition of "virgin" while the Hebrew could be considered more ambiguous. Their choice of the word "parthenos" in translation is a strong indication of how the Jews well before the birth of Jesus understood the meaning of "alma". Eighty percent of the Old Testament citations in the New Testament are quotes from the Septuagint, including some of Jesus' quotes. Luke 1:15 has an implict reference to the Septuagint version of 1 Samuel 1:11 which includes the Nazarite vows promised of Samuel by his mother when she promised to dedicate him to the Lord. Samuel was another great prophet and precursor the first king of the Jews, as john was to The King of the Jews. These details are not found in the Hebrew version of 1 Samuel 1:11. |

Jensen, I would recommend: Handbook of Christian Apologetics by Peter Kreeft and Ronald K Tacelli published by InterVarsity Press. It deals with all the basic issues: faith and reason, the existence of God, God's nature, how we know God, objective truth and so on, including a section on Christianity and other religions. It can be gotten through bookstores or the web. Emmaus |

Allow me to repost one of Reformer Joe's posts from 3-9-02 on Alexander Hislop. "Alexander Hislop's book _The Wto Babylons_ has long been discredited by both sexular and Christian historians alike as incredibly erroneous in its findings. And after 150 years, it is still being quoted as authoritative. For more on Hislop's errors, see this article: http://users.clarkston.com/rcorson/2babylons.htm Emmaus, you can chalk this up to another place where we stand in agreement! --Joe!" |
