1 | rev.7:4 | Revelation | MAC702 | 229112 | ||
Actually, these are NOT the twelve literal tribes of Israel. Levi was not a registered tribe, and there was no tribe of Joseph, but rather two from his sons, with Manasseh being mentioned, but Ephraim not. Note the lack of the mention of the tribe of Dan. There is more at work here than simply saying these are the "twelve tribes of Israel." |

2 | Explain Matt. 18:15-18 | Matt 18:15 | MAC702 | 227712 | ||
Yes, the Christian congregation is where Christians should first have their disputes settled after applying this counsel. Only after someone has shown themselves to not be a Christian by refusing to acknowledge the authority of the Congregation, would you then have legal recompense under the jurisdiction of the land. I did not mean to skip a step. Thanks for the clarification. | ||||||

The format of this forum appears to be causing confusion. My question was a follow up to another answer but it appears that it is being answered as if I asked it out of ignorance. I'll have to use the "Note" button instead. | ||||||

The first thought that immediately comes to mind when reading your note is the following scripture, John 19:28-30: "19:28 After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. 19:29 There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit." (ASV) Some versions and translations even use the word "accomplished," instead of "finished." |

Wow, I'm actually lucky I found your reply. I must admit this forum is rather difficult to navigate through and keep your place. Maybe I'm just not seeing the easy way. I'll look for the profile spot. Thanks. | ||||||
7 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | MAC702 | 112581 | ||
Is there a way to edit for typos? Of course, I meant Ex 3:15 in my opening line.... | ||||||

In the ASV, Ex 3:5 states, "And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations." Comparing to the NASB, your quote actually would put "LORD" in all-capitals, showing it as a substitution for YHWH, which appears in the text of the manuscripts. So, really, Ex 3:15 is telling Moses to use his name (Jehovah in English.) And ´Adho·nai´ is Hebrew for Lord. 'Kyrios' is Greek. I think you just mistyped; I only correct it for others who are reading. |

Good question. In referencing Galatians 3:19, it shows that the Law was transmitted through angels. In the giving of the Law by Jehovah to Moses, it just plainly says that He told Moses the Law. So, apparently it is leaving out HOW Jehovah did so, but is later learned in a comment by the apostle Paul. In reality, the HOW is not nearly as important as the Law itself, and I wouldn't argue you one way or the other. It can make sense to apply the same HOW to most circumstances when Jehovah spoke to men, but this deatil should probably have been skipped for lack of substantial evidence either way and no great discussion value. But "Lord" is from the Hebrew ´Adho·nai´ Jehovah (from YHWH) is used completely separately in the Old Testament; compare the original ASV, instead of the newer NASB. Even in the NASB, you'll find places where sometimes LORD is in all-capitals, and sometimes not, yet both might be referring to Jehovah God. There is a reason. You may make this a separate thread if you wish, or I would welcome a E-mailed format which would be easier to get into more lengthy discussions. |
