1 | Are old words proper for Scripture? | Bible general Archive 4 | gruvEdude | 210613 | ||
Use of old words for Scripture: When have old words ever been used in scripture? (When God gave the ten commandments, were Adam's older words, etc., used?) Dr. Samuel Gipp gives an example, but it is of humans using archaic words. When has God done so? Leading your own business, what would you think if your secretary sent out your memos with 17th century words, your sales staff shalt approach clients in this manner, etc.? As stewards, when is it right to use old words if they've never been used? With (worldly) television, it is pretty easy to turn the channel from the 17th century. Should that time be reverenced; why or why not? Think of Abraham pleading for Sodom and Gomorrah. If there are 50 in the whole universe that practice 17th century words, may they be wise today. 5 less than 50. 5 less ... |

Hi, gruv... Welcome to the forum! The KJV only position is fundamentally flawed. It an odd topic to bring up on the forum hosted by our gracious host. Regardless, there's been about everything that can be written on the topic here on the forum. It is doubtful that you or the venerable Ruckmanite, Gipp, will add to the discussion. Let's keep our focus on the study of the Word itself -- to God's glory and to the edification of us all. In Him, Doc |

Focusing on "the study of the Word itself", my beginning question has the word "ever". If God never uses old words, when should we ever witness scripture contrary to as written? Is God glorified with words of praise which are contrary to our Lord's style? Can words which become old correctly be called the word of God? | ||||||

I believe your partly confused because you seem not to understand the difference between God's word (Scripture) and man's language. You wrote: "If god never uses old words,..." so your premise is flawed. Where does the thought that God "never uses old words" come from? God has used and continues to use the language of men to communicate. The inspired writings of Scripture were written in the language of the writers. They have been translated and transliterated into other languages. It has little or nothing to do with old verses new words. Language and meaning is the focus. I wouldn't want my secretary to send out a memo to my staff in Hebrew (old or new). I'm thankful someone translated Scritpure into English... I both enjoy and benefit from both the old and the new. |

"Where does the thought that God 'never uses old words' come from?" I AM's time and word is, yesterday and today and forever, always today. |
