Kalos: So very true.. It is hard not to see the Tri-unity of God after reading through John 14:11-26.. In fact, I would be one to say that it is a "can't miss." :-) Makarios | ||||||

305 | rest v. work | Philippians | Makarios | 112397 | ||
Greetings CDBJ, Just to continue that thought on Hebrews 4:1-13.. "Since therefore it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly received the good news failed to enter because of disobedience, again he appoints a certain day, "Today," saying through David so long afterward, in the words already quoted, "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts." For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God, for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his." "Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account." [ESV] I believe that this 13 verse passage of Scripture serves both to motivate and educate regarding what God's rest actually means.. Blessings to you, Makarios |

307 | translate OT "with respect to the NT" | Bible general Archive 2 | Makarios | 112210 | ||
Greetings my friend! Good stuff, and great question! :-) To be most literal and accurate, the Hebrew word for "virgin" is actually "bethulah" (Gen. 24:16; Exodus 22:17; Lev. 21:3,13,14; Deut. 22:15,17,19,20,23,28, 32:25; Judges 11:37,38, 21:12; 2 Sam. 13:2,18; 1 Kings 1:2; 2 Kings 19:21; Esther 2:2,3,17,19; Psalm 45:14; Isaiah 23:4,12, 37:22, 47:1, 62:5; Jeremiah 14:17, 18:13, 31:4,13,21, 46:11; Lam. 1:4,15,18 2:10,13,21; Ezekiel 23:3,8; Joel 1:8; Amos 5:2, 8:13). But, in a few places, the Hebrew word "almah" is translated as 'virgin': Gen. 24:43; Exodus 2:8; Isaiah 7:14; Psalm 68:25; Proverbs 30:19; Song of Solomon 1:3, 6:8. So, using that example, I would say that: when anyone interprets an OT passage, emphasizing what is revealed in the NT while downplaying or ignoring altogether the historical context of the OT passage, then it would result in a less literal rendering, based on the above example. However, at the same time, I believe that there are a few passages in Isaiah that are 'dual references' which are prophecies that refer to two different things at the same time, even though the two things that are being referred to are not necessarily related, in and of themselves. Examples for such said 'dual references' are in Isaiah 7:14 and 14:12-17. As Isaiah 14:12-17 is a reference to both the king of Babylon and Lucifer, Isaiah 7:14 is both a reference to the 'young woman', who was betrothed to Isaiah (8:3), and also serves as a prophesy of the coming of the Messiah, fullfilled in Mary, who was the virgin who bore Christ. And I believe that "almah", in the instance of Isaiah 7:14, is special in this one instance of its use, because of its Messianic connotations. Now, does using 'virgin' in Isaiah 7:14 instead of 'young woman' compromise the reference to the 'young woman', who was betrothed to Isaiah (8:3)? Not necessarily. Now, should we change all usage of the Hebrew word 'almah' to "virgin" wherever the word 'almah' is found in Scripture? Not necessarily. But in this one instance, in Isaiah 7:14, I believe that 'almah' has a special and unique connotation in this single verse, simply because I believe that it refers to something much greater than that which is 'led on' initially by the text. Now, did Isaiah know that what he was inspired to write was also Messianic as well as applying to his own life? Perhaps. But the answer, resoundly, is answered by Matthew, who was inspired by the very same Holy Spirit, who referred to this very same verse in Matthew 1:23, using this verse in its ultimate fulfillment! :-) Therefore, I believe that Isaiah 7:14 would most accurately reflect its ultimate fulfillment in 'virgin', satisfying both references, even though it may be the only place in the entire Bible in which 'alma' (which means "young woman") will be rendered as 'virgin.' And that, my friend, is where I see the single 'triumph' of emphasizing what is revealed in the NT over the historical context of the OT, since the Holy Spirit cannot be placed in any context, except that of past, present, and future. :-) Blessings to you, Makarios |

310 | When can we give our tithes | Ps 22:3 | Makarios | 112180 | ||
Good answer, Terrib. There is really no Biblical precedent as far as how often we should tithe, even though 1 Cor. 14:40 is a good precedent to follow in all aspects of worship. Blessings to you, Makarios |

Good answer, Prayon! It is amazing how people would act if we were all allowed to see things as they really are, especially those things that are not ordinarily visible to humans. Blessings to you, Makarios |

316 | In-laws: Mrs. Moses and Mrs. Cain? | Ex 2:21 | Makarios | 111751 | ||
That still does not make any sense. Are we related, or aren't we? Are we all descended from one man, or aren't we? You cannot escape the conundrum if you tried. :-) The correct answer is that Mrs. Cain and Cain were from the same immediate family. |
