1 | God can't die or look on sin! | Matt 27:46 | flinkywood | 225490 | ||
Ed, I just randomly logged on tonight - I seldom visit SBF - and here you are, Florida direct. Is there such a thing as serendipity among brethren? Colin |

2 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219243 | ||
My NKJV notes that "being convicted by their conscience" is omitted by both the Nestle-Aland and Majority Text. Thanks for the heads-up. |

3 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219239 | ||
If scripture says it, I stand corrected and withdraw my speculation. | ||||||
4 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219236 | ||
John, here's this verse from the NASB Amplified, which I hadn't consulted: John 8:9 They listened to Him, and then they began going out, conscience-stricken, one by one, from the oldest down to the last one of them, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing there before Him in the center of the court. John, because only KJV and the NASB Amplified--not even the NASB itself--render the text similarly, I'll eat my words with crow if you can demonstrate that this particular translation is literal and not interpretive. |

5 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219235 | ||
John, that's a great point I hadn't considered. Good call. Yet I do think that the two instances are distinct insofar as conspiracy to commit murder is distinct from a crime of passion. In the case of the Adulteress the Pharisees hoped to trick Jesus into his self-undoing either in the eyes of the crowd or at the hands of the Romans. In John 8:58, by contrast, they totally lost their marbles because not only had Jesus just called them children of the devil, he'd also declared himself equal to God. | ||||||
6 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219234 | ||
Brad, Scripture says nothing about their being thwarted; it's also silent (except in the KJV) about their consciences; therefore, it's reasonable to consider either that they were "convicted" or "thwarted". I hold with the latter because, as the future murderers of Christ, as offspring of the devil (v 8:44), these men likely think themselves as sinless as Saul once did (Phil 3:5-6) and hope to blame Jesus for the adulteress' execution while also focusing subsequent Roman reprisal upon him. Because of Jesus' ingenuity, their plan to discredit him while leaving themselves blameless, failed. | ||||||
7 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219232 | ||
John, The KJV is alone in its translation of John 8.9. The NKJV even has it: Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. |

8 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219226 | ||
John, I don't think that Jesus' words had any impact on their consciences but only inflamed their hatred of him, criminals that they were. If you're saying that their defeat represented an objective conviction of sin, that they were shown to be abject sinners in the light of Christ's words, in that sense I agree with you that their defeat also represents their conviction. At least I think that's what you're saying. Colin |

9 | Is NASB better than other translations? | 2 Tim 2:15 | flinkywood | 219221 | ||
If the battle drives towards studying ancient Greek, then that's a good battle. All "literal" translations contain aproximations and interpretive guesswork. | ||||||
10 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219219 | ||
No, I don't think it's speculative or adding to scripture, especially when we later see these same men screaming for Jesus' crucifixion. They attempt to wall him in between Moses and Roman territorial law. Jesus deftly turns the tables on them: they can't stone her because they will violate Roman law; and they can't accuse Jesus of false messiahship for violating Mosaic law. Therefore, it's logical to assume the Pharisees' turning away had more to do with having been thwarted than convicted of sin. | ||||||
11 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219218 | ||
Okay. | ||||||
12 | Why was not the man accused of adultery. | John 8:1 | flinkywood | 219209 | ||
Makarios, had Jesus said she should be condemned, the Pharisees could have accused him before the Romans of illegally counseling execution, a right strictly prohibited the Jews. Conversely, had Jesus abjured stoning, they could accuse him of contradicting the law of Moses, thus discrediting him. These guys were plotting his undoing and had no conscience. Jesus snares them in their own trap. Their silent exit had more to do with defeat than conviction of sin. | ||||||
13 | Acts 2:1 | Lev 23:15 | flinkywood | 219123 | ||
John, are you saying that the commandment "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy."(Exo 20:8) is no longer valid? | ||||||
14 | Knowledge of Messiah | John 3:1 | flinkywood | 219000 | ||
If they thought he was God's messiah, they wouldn't have murdered him. Recall how they accused him of demonism (Mark 3:22). | ||||||
15 | Eating in the Sancturary? | Lev 10:18 | flinkywood | 218772 | ||
Good point, Andrew, though I think we do also worship with our bodies. | ||||||

StJohn, Yessir. | ||||||
17 | Eating in the Sancturary? | Lev 10:18 | flinkywood | 218761 | ||
David, however, did eat in the sanctuary: And Jesus answered them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and took and ate the bread of the Presence, which is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and also gave it to those with him?" And he said to them, "The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath." (Luk 6:3-5 ESV) |

I've never eaten in a sanctuary. | ||||||
19 | Eating in the Sancturary? | Lev 10:18 | flinkywood | 218758 | ||
I found this verse: (Lev 10:18 ESV) "Behold, its blood was not brought into the inner part of the sanctuary. You certainly ought to have eaten it in the sanctuary, as I commanded." |

20 | What were the main changes and developme | Acts | flinkywood | 218749 | ||
Your question is vague. Structure and strategy? Does your curriculum take the historical-critical view that the early church, not the evangelists, authored the Gospels in response to political and theological antagonisms? Also, what "changes" are you referring to? |
