1 | Nazirite ... immaculate conception??? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 104946 | ||
Searcher, Eighty percent of the Old Testament citations in the New Testament are quotes from the Septuagint, including most 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. "and she made a vow (1), promising: "O LORD of hosts, if you look with pity on the misery of your handmaid, if you remember me and do not forget me, if you give your handmaid a male child, I will give him to the LORD for as long as he lives; neither wine nor liquor shall he drink, and no razor shall ever touch his head." 1 [11] Give him to the LORD: some ancient texts call Samuel a nazir in this context" NAB Bible and footnote The NAB is a Catholic Bible translations and in passages where the where an Old Tetsament passage is cited in the New Testament is from the Septuagint, it follows the Septuagint translation in the Old Testament passage also. Since the Septuagint was translated from the Hebrew to the Greek by Jewish scholars about 200 years before the birth of Christ, it gives clear reflection of how the Hebrew passage was understood and also how the early Christians, most of whom, both Jews of the Disapora and Gentiles, understood certain passages. The early Church used the Septuagint because they spoke Greek not Hebrew, which is also why the New Testament was written in Greek. See my previous post #104494 on Isaiah 7:14 which addresses the same issues on a different text Matt 1:23 and Is 7:14. I don't undewrstand the "Immaculate Conception" question either. Some people confuse that with virgin birth but it is not the same. Immaculate Conception has to do with being conceive "immaculate" or "pure" from sin, not virgin birth. In any case neither applies to Samson, Samuel or John. Emmaus |

2 | Nazirite ... immaculate conception??? | Bible general Archive 2 | joel k | 104954 | ||
emmaus ... I am joel k , the original poster of this tread. Thank you for the "educated" information you offer. I guess you are one of the few who understands that the present versions of the bible are not the only inspired Word of God, but rather a cropped and controled revision of God's word. This is more like the information I was asking for. I saw on your profile that you are a Catholic. While everyone agrees that there has been much shameful news aired about some laymen of the Catholic denomination, I , however take a differnt approach. As a southern Baptist, I have heard much slander and name calling going out to the Catholics. And I stand in their defense. We all have faith in the same God, the Holy one of Israel. If we choose to be condemning, we should condemn the sin, not the sinner. As far as immaculate conception goes I was asking if the birth of a nazirite was concieved by the Holy Spirit, like the conception of Christ, or was the child from his own father. In all 3 cases, the woman was barren and the angel of the Lord came and said she will concieve. Each scripture of a nazirite refers to their purpose of bringing deliverance of God's people, like Christ. However, as you know there is some distinct differences between them and Christ. Christ was born of a virgin, not a barren woman. He came eating and drinking. (matt. 11:19) Christ forfilled prophesy and of course the obvious difference, crucificion and ressurection I hope all who read this note can understand my quest was not to devaluate the birth of our Savior as to make it seem more common, but my quest was to prove Jesus was the ONLY begotten Son of God. I have found the answer that proves a nazirite was NOT concieved immaculately, but of his own father. (1 sammuel 1:19) thank you to all who participated with out contentions. joel k |
