John :: You ask, Who is Dives? It is the name sometimes given to the rich man about whom Jesus spoke in Luke 16:19-31. It has an interesting history. "Dives" is the Latin word for "rich" and is used in Luke 16:19 in the Vulgate translation. The idea that "Dives" was actually the name of the rich man emerged back in medieval times. There is nothing in Scripture to back up this ages-old assumption, however. It's much the same thing as calling Mary's psalm of praise the "Magnificat" in Luke 1:46-55), because "magnificat" meaning "magnify" is the first word in the passage in the Vulgate. Another example is calling the Lord's Prayer of Matthew 6:9-13 the "Pater Noster" which is the beginning phrase in the Latin language and means "Our Father." --Hank | ||||||

Oh, I see, I sorta had an Idea, that there was something I'd missed, it didn't seem likely that Son of God just made it up, but I hadn't ever heard that before. Hmm, I guess it would be sorta like calling him Riche. :-) Thanks for the info brother Hank. | ||||||
