121 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | djconklin | 28274 | ||
"or "Learn Greek in Only 15 Minutes a Day"." Actually, you'd probably be amazed at the number of Greek words you already know (I'm working on compiling a list, last count I had about 30-40 words)! According to one of my NT profs (who when he referred us to the Bible we could tell that he was reading straight from the Greek) that if we practiced 15 minutes a day based on what we were taught we could do the same as he could. One of the bomnes I'd pick with most translators/translations is that even a modicum of research shows that they goofed in places. |

122 | Why was Jesus named “Jesus”? | Is 7:14 | djconklin | 28273 | ||
"I think DJConklin is mixing the how Tyndale came up the word Jehovah out of the tetragram YHWH rather than addressing the word Jesus." I wasn't thinking of that at all. |

Note that whatever Paul is referring to as a shadow he says that they "are" and not "were" which is what would be required if these things ended at the Cross. | ||||||
124 | Correcting the translation | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 28271 | ||
"Just what is your point? Never mind. I already know that you do not have one :-D" 1) You assume too much. 2) Sarcasm is unbecoming of a Christian. |

125 | Verse 4:13 say in Philippians? | Philippians | djconklin | 28270 | ||
Apparently so, as I understand their literature*. Here's their web site: http://www.bibleworks.com/ From their web site: "The new Version Database Compiler lets you build your own Bible versions for use in BibleWorks. The new version can be displayed and searched, just like the other Bible versions in BibleWorks! This will be a great boon to missionaries and translators. Simply provide the text to BibleWorks in ASCII text format, with verse references for each verse, and the BibleWorks Version Database Compiler will compile the database and install it in BibleWorks." |

126 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | djconklin | 28269 | ||
"In a prior verse, you cited Galatians 3:28 as saying that there is no distinction between men and women in Christ.. If that is so, and if women are saved through child-bearing (by use of the Greek word "sozo"), then are men condemned to hell because they cannot bear children???" Nolan, I didn't say any such thing. Please re-read the post more carefully. BTW, I made the same point in a sermon. |

Ed, I didn't say that you were losing at anything; please re-read what I wrote without prejudice. --- "... there are a few that say Daniel was written post historic rather than pre but no one takes them seriously." Actually, it is the norm of most scholars that Daniel was written late. And if you defended traditional Christian beliefs against the attacks of the Bible critics you would know how vocal and vociferous they can be. --- "So why should we take someone that defends against these jokers seriously?" Because if you do not defend tradititional Christian beliefs against the attacks of the critics then some souls will be lost because they will think that the critics are making valid and reasonable points. Jesus died to save sinners--so you should not call anyone any name at any time (Matt. 5:22) or if you do then you should stop calling youself a Christian, eh? --- "On the one point that people do care, should we worship on the Sabbath or Sunday, you say many things but do not state your belief." Why should you care what I believe? Am I the Pope or something? What does the Bible say? What did God say to do? |

128 | did the wine from the water make you dr | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 28266 | ||
Grape juice can be preserved if it is dipped into well water and held there. Ancient people knew what to do to preserve grape juice and other products (tho' obviously not as well as refrigerators and freezers of today): "Columella, a renowned agriculturalist who lived in the first century A.D. In his treatise On Agriculture and Trees, Columella discusses at great length the various methods used by different people to preserve such produce as lettuce, onions, apples, pears, berries, plums, figs, olives, unfermented grape juice and fermented wine." from Bacchicocchi's book about wine in the Bible (http://www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/wine_in_the_bible/3.html). To fully answer the original question one must understand the culture of the day and what was meant by "the good wine" of John 2:10. |

"Jesus gave this authority to the Apostles and His Church, Matthew 10:40; 16:19; 18:18-20; Luke 10:16, including the sabbath, Colossians 2:16-22." Col. 2:16-17 isn't even talking about the sevbenth-day Sabbath in the first place and Paul is telling the believers to not let outsiders judge them on the what they were doing but rather to submit to the judgment of the church as a whole. For more details see the in-depth study at http://biblestudy.iwarp.com where I have looked at over 195 sources over the past two years in an effort to analyze the grammatical and linguistic evidence. |

Paul said even in his day that devil was already at work trying to corrupt the church--witness the troubles he had just with the Judaizers! Others can show specific quotes from Justin Martyr, etc. on how they viewed the Sabbath issue--which is very relevant for it shows how iniquity was at work within the church at a very early time. It appears from all of the available evidence that 1) the Sabbath was kept by most Christians down till at least the 5th century, and 2) that Sunday keeping came in at least as early as 135 A.D. as a way of dstinguishing Christians from the Jews (see Justin, etc.) during one of the Jewish revolts. It was the practice generally of the Eastern Churches; and some churches of the West ... For in the Church of Millaine ; ... it seemes the Saturday was held in a farre esteeme ... Not that the Easterne Churches, or any of the rest which observed that day were inclined to Iudaisme ; but that they came together on the Sabbath day, to worship Iesus Christ the Lord of the Sabbath (Dr. Peter Heylyn History of the Sabbath, London 1636, Part 2, para. 5, pp. 73-74; original spelling retained). If you study the history of the Christian church in Ireland and Ethiopia you'll find that they kept the Sabbath (until the RCC found out about it). Sidonius says that under Theodoric the Goth in 454-526: It is a fact that it was formerly the custom in the East to keep the Sabbath in the same manner as the Lord's day and to hold sacred assemblies: while on the other hand, the people of the West, contending for the Lord's day have neglected the celebration of the Sabbath (Apollinaris Sidonii Epistolææ, lib. 1,2; Migne, 57). Reading canon 26 of the Council of Elvira (c. 305), it appears that the Church in Spain had kept the Sabbath. The Sabbath-keeping Churches in Persia underwent forty years of persecution under Shapur II, from 335-375 specifically, because they were Sabbath-keeping. They despise our sun-god. Did not Zoroaster, the sainted founder of our divine beliefs, institute Sunday one thousand years ago in honour of the sun and supplant the Sabbath of the Old Testament. Yet these Christians have divine services on Saturday (O'Leary The Syriac Church and Fathers, pp. 83-84, requoted Truth Triumphant p. 170). This persecution was mirrored in the west by the Council of Laodicea (c. 366). Hefele notes: Canon 16 - The Gospels along with other Scripture be read on the Sabbath (cf. also canons 49 and 51, Bacchiocchi, fn. 15, p. 217). Canon 29 - Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day honouring rather the Lord's day by resting, if possible, as Christians. However if any shall be found judaizing, let them be anathema for Christ (Mansi, II, pp. 569-570, see also Hefele Councils, Vol. 2, b. 6). Socrates the Historian (writing in the late 4th century (305-438)) says: Such is the difference in the churches on the subject of fasts. Nor is there less variation in regard to religious assemblies. For although almost all Churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this (Socrates, Ecclesiastical History, Bk 5, Ch. 22, p. 289). @ http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/NPNF2-02/TOC.htm and Salaminius Hermias Sozomen (died probably in 447 or 448): "Assemblies are not held in all churches on the same time or manner. The people of Constantinople, and almost everywhere, assemble together on the Sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never observed at Rome or at Alexandria." Ecclesiastical History, Book 7, chapter 19 @ http://www.ccel.org/fathers2/NPNF2-02/TOC.htm The Sabbath was observed into the fifth century by Christianity (Lyman Coleman Ancient Christianity Exemplified, Ch. 26, Sec. 2, p. 527). Certainly, as at the time of Jerome (420), the devoutest Christians did ordinary work on Sunday (Dr. White, bishop of Ely, Treatise of the Sabbath Day, p. 219). Augustine of Hippo, a devout Sunday keeper, attested that the Sabbath was observed in the greater part of the Christian world (Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers (NPNF), First Series, Vol. 1, pp. 353-354) and deplored the fact that in two neighbouring Churches in Africa, one observed the seventh day Sabbath, while another fasted on it (Peter Heylyn, op. cit., p. 416). The Churches generally held the Sabbath for some time. The ancient Christians were very careful in the observation of Saturday, or the seventh day ... It is plain that all the Oriental churches, and the greatest part of the world, observed the Sabbath as a festival ... Athanasius likewise tells us that they held religious assemblies on the Sabbath, not because they were infected with Judaism, but to worship Jesus, the Lord of the Sabbath, Epiphanius says the same (Antiquities of the Christian Church, Vol. II, Bk. xx, Ch. 3, Sec 1, 66. 1137,1136). |

132 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | djconklin | 27906 | ||
Robert, Thanks for the quick and kind response! If Paul had meant "preserved" then he could have used the word "zoogoneo" as in Luke 17:33 or "suntereo" as in Matt. 9:17 or Luke 5:38. The only time where I can find that the word "sozo" "means" preserve is in 2 Tim 4:18 and even there it is talking about ultimate preservation: "And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom ..." and not about preservation frompain in this world. --- The word "teknogonia" means "childbearing"; it has no other meaning. Again, thanks for your kind response. |

133 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | djconklin | 27898 | ||
Interesting points Nolan. However, whenever Paul uses the word "sozo" it always refers to salvation from sin. So, contrary to the speculations in the note in the Disciples Bible this verse does say that women will be saved through child-bearing. So, what does Paul mean here? As a side-note it was interesting to see how quickly the traditionalists dealt with this verse(if at all!). |

"Semantics holds a major key to one's ability to extract proper meaning from the written word. In no other body of writing that I can think of is this more important than in Scripture." Well put Hank! |

137 | New book answers ?? on women teaching | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27894 | ||
" What do I think 1 Tim 2:12 means? I think it must mean what it says, that a woman is not allowed "to teach or exercise authority over a man."" I'm not sure which translation you are using there but the Greek word "authentien" (from which we get our word "authentic", btw) meant "usurp authority". |

138 | Should women be teaching in churches? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27893 | ||
"Paul often admists that what he writes is his opinion." As I recall he only said that once. Right? --- "The law says do not kill, Jesus says "do not hate." The law says do not commit adultery, Jesus says "do not lust."" All Jesus did was to show the meaning of the law--love is the fulfillment of the law. --- "When Christ came to the earth, many Jews were still practicing polygamy ..." What?!? |

139 | Popular opinion? or Scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27892 | ||
"Rom 16:1 "I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;" This was the only passage I could find concerning Phoebe. I don't see a mention of her being a deacon in this passage." As I recall the Greek that Paul wrote has diakoinos--the feminine of deacon. --- "1 Tim 3:12 "Deacons must be husbands of only one wife," Actually what the Greek says (assuming I remember correctly) translated literally into English is "one man woman". One speaker noted that when he was at home in Indiana it meant one thing, when he studied for his doctorate in France it was interepreted differently, and when he was a missionary in Africa it meant something else. When I studied this verse I found something like 5 different meanings--which one is the right one and how do we know it is right? |

140 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27891 | ||
"... there is neither male nor female in God ..." To be somewhat technical for I believe the mis-translation ignores something God is trying to tell us the verse (Gal. 3:28) actually says "male and female". I have not yet worked out the whole significance of this. Perhaps someone here wouldsee it. |
