1 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | Morant61 | 25993 | ||
Greetings Ed! That's a great resource to have at your disposal! :-) Translation is very difficult. Think about the steps that one has to go through in order to translate a passage (in reverse order). 1) One has to know the receptor language. 2) One has to understand the grammar of the original language. 3) One has to know the meanings of words in the original language. The third step is the one where the average person needs the most help. I can pretty well read the Greek NT (Hebrew, I can barely make out the words I've forgotten so much), but I don't have the resources or time to go back and research how a word was used throughout history. So, I have to depend upon a dictionary or lexicon. This is why I get a kick out of people who simply use a concordance and start telling everyone how the translators are wrong. Words can be very fluid in meaning. It takes much more than a concordance to understand the meanings. Don't eat to many pastries my friend! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | EdB | 26000 | ||
Tim Your right he is a great resource and such a beautiful person. He was a very high in the Greek Orthodox church when he yielded to the Holy Spirit and began to speak in tongues. Needles to say when church authorities got wind of it things began to happen. He was ordered to Boston to stand before a heresy trial. He was ordered to recant which he refused so they removed him from his church. He took a major financial hit to stand for what he believed. A small group of his old parishioners and him meet very Sunday and have a Pentecostal Greek orthodox service. It is great! EdB |
