141 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27890 | ||
"The injunction is based on the relationship of man and woman in the original creation (Gen. 2:18; 3:6)." 1) God made woman from the rib of a man, not the head that she should lord over him nor from the foot that she should be trodden on. 2) The same word that is used for woman ("helpmeet") is also used of God. One of the keys to proper interpretation of the Bible is to consider the whole and not just selected snippets. For example, the traditionalists will typically point to Gen 2:18 and 3:16 and yet completely ignore Gal. 3:28. |

142 | Is this verse relevant today? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27889 | ||
If it wasn't relevant God would not have allowed it to be preserved for us today. Witness the am't of material alluded to in the Bible that wasn't preserved. As others have noted this verse is not about power; instead it is about roles. The best book I have seen on this is Holmes, C. Raymond The Tip of the Iceberg: Biblical Authority, Biblical Interpretation, and the Ordination of Women in Ministry. (Wakefield, MI: Pointer Publications, 1994). |

143 | can a woman be in authority? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27887 | ||
Authority on what? What was Paul talking about here? Was he saying that a woman couldn't teach chemistry, physics, calculus, physiology, psychology, or a foreign language? Some people have taken this verse to such extremes that they believe a woman shouldn't be allowed to vote or drive a car. Did you know that the hermeneutics of the traditionalists is the same as those who advocated slavery? See Willard Swartley's book Slavery, Sabbath, War and Women. For more study on this issue see the bibliography of material that I have read at http://biblestudy.iwarp.com |

144 | Does "'almah" mean "virgin"? | Is 7:14 | djconklin | 27886 | ||
Nolan, You may find, as I did, that there is actually an abundance of evidence supporting the idea that "'almah" meant virgin. Well, I better cut this short lest I be accused once more of "blah, blah, blah". |

146 | Correcting the translation | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 27883 | ||
jensen, "You may know the technicalities of this verse so well that you have unlearned the clear teaching of most of the other verses." It would help a great deal of you supported your assertion with concrete examples. In fact, if you had actually read my study as some have done you would have noted that i did in fact interact and deal with other versees in the context of these two. In fact, they support what I am saying. --- " Anyone can have a web page and say anything, truth or fiction." That's mostly true--right up until the timne you try to make one. Also note how shallow the others are, note how many and what kinds and types of sources I give (most others seem to think that they are a type of mini-pope). |

My apologies Ed, for not responding sooner. My computer completely died and so I'm re-installing my software, and of course, when it died it took all the links with it and I have been working 10-12 hour days 6 days a week at work. --- "I assumed that after your monomaniacal defense of “your” interpretation of Col. 2:16 you had some application/agenda to go with it." 1) ROFL! The last time I was described as "monomanical" was when I defended the traditional dating of Daniel! The Bible critic just could not face the facts and deal with them as they were so he had to engage in an ad homenium attack. He did it again when I showed that the Heb. word "'almah" in Isa. 7:14 meant virgin--of course, then I could point out that "mono" means one and I had just dealt with two so in reality I was a bimanic!!! With the work on my web page I'm up around 7--septmaniac? 2) It is unfortunate that you dealt with with people in past who had a agenda and so you assumed that I had one as well. Well, I hate to disappoint you but I don't--unless you count digging for the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth an agenda. --- "All that effort for what? " See #2 above, last part. BTW, I now have almost 190 sources for my study. --- "If I’m mistaken, I then have misjudged you and what you were doing and if that be the case I’m very sorry." As I have noted before you are a bigger man than some give you credit for. It is really a pleasure to deal with someone who is polite for a change (Bible critics typically resort to swearing and personal when they are losing). |

Thanks for your kind note Paul. What year are you in? Seminary or undergrad? Since you have to do a new study how about Gal. 4:10? |

"if one is hungry, why raid garbage cans looking for food, when God has a feast (His Word, the 66 books that make up the Bible) prepared for whosoever will come and partake?" Amen! Excellant point kalos! |

Ed, I don't "dance" period! I refuse to be the "instant expert" type who spouts off. All I can tell you is what I found. My personal life is betrween me and God just as yours is between you and Him. He gave us a brain to use and I'll use mine the best I can. If you don't like it and have to attack me then that says more about you than me. |

"I interpret this verse as saying (God speaking), "The pain that I had originally intended for women to experience during child bearing will increase.."" Aren't there ways of saying that? I just worked with what the text said. |

Well, when you go to your doctor for your yearly physical and he tells you start eating decent ... ;) My grandfather went in and told him that after every breakfast he'd have these gas pains. So,the doctor asked what he had for breakfast. "Eggs, hash browns and pork sausage" Well, do away with the prok sausage" And presto the gas pains went away! Or, you watch the news and they tell you that too many Americans are overweight, they tell you about the rise of diabetes, they tell you about high cholestoral, how unheathy junk food is, etc., etc. doesn't all start to make sense that the manufacturer would tell you what not to eat? And after having worked a long hard grind at work isn't it nice to have a day off? And since there isn't a clear word that either the dietary laws or the Sabbath has been done away with (we know it isn't in Col. 2:16-17 at least) doesn't that mean that they are still in effect? The best I can do right now is from the negative angle. |

153 | "Eloi" or "Eli"? | Mark 15:34 | djconklin | 25971 | ||
Ah! When I cut-and-pasted the address the tilde didn'tshow up but the program knew it was there--so I was getting really frustrated! Which is not a good thing to do with an Irish-German! So, here's the "address" for Ephraem: http://www.mindspring.com/"(tilde)"scarlson/synopt/ext/ephraem.htm |

Ah, now I see where you are at! First, a little thing about exegesis (I also have a small page at my web site where I list about 25 links to which one can go so one can learn how to do it) (in very broad terms here): you start with the grammatical and linguistic analysis, then you look at its context (literary and historical), then and only then do you move to application. So, in this case, I have a ways to go to get where you want to be. However, I can tell a few things based on what I have seen. 1) If your church is having potluck after church and someone comes in and says that if you are really serious about communing with God then you shouldn't be feasting, that instead you should be fasting then based on this verse I would say that you can safely ignore what they are saying. However, I have never seen this type of scenario in today's world. 2) The more likely scenario is that someone will tell you that in this verse Paul is saying that we don't have to follow the dietary laws or keep the Sabbath. Based on what Paul actually wrote we can now know that is not the correct interpretation of this verse--which makes me wonder about any other translation of any other verse that the person may then talk about--note the "contra" (source(s)) that I have in the footnotes to my study, these people are particularly suspect. 3) Paul is definitely not talking about "not celebrate sabbaths", but rather the believers at Colossae were being judged for _how_ they were celebrating. Since he wrote this between 57-62 A.D. that means that the believers at Colossae were celebrating the days without condemnation from Paul. So, does that mean we should doing it? I don't know; I have noted a number of people who think we should. |

155 | "Eloi" or "Eli"? | Mark 15:34 | djconklin | 25966 | ||
Here's one more! Ephraem Syrus (c. 306-373) who wrote: "Matthew the Hebrew wrote this, and behold it was turned into Greek." Search for Ephraem Syrus and look for a mindspring address used by scarlson--I can't post the address because it has a tilde in it. | ||||||
156 | When did the catholic church go wrong? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 25962 | ||
"If you can believe it I met a Senior High School teacher that was bragging that he had never read a complete book!" Ed, I had somewhat a similar experience. When I finished the seminary and came home my sister handed me a book about women's ordination and wanted to know what I thought about it. She said that both her and the elder of the church had read it. So, I glanced through it and looked it over carefully--how do two people manage to read a book and never underline or highlight anything, make no notes in the margins, and never even bend the binding on a paperback book? When I pointed that out to her she admitted that she had only glanced through it--and this from one who has an MBA and is now working on a masters in another field! She should know better! |

Ed, It can be difficult a few times in some books. Whne I was learning Greek I would write in pencil the literal meaning of each word till I finished with each verse. Then I take a pen and re-write the Greek into a decent English sentance. While I'm doing all that I'd be checking a number of lexicons and other translations to make sure I was right. After awhile I didn't have to check other translations because it became fairly obvious what the writer was saying. But, I still recall the day I ran into a verse where I looked at the penciled words of one verse (in the entire quarter no less and we did 15-20 per day) and said to myself "There's no way you can make that into a decent English sentance!". So, I checked a dozen translations and found that they were all different too! I figured even the experts couldn't figure that one out. |

160 | what sabbath does it refer to? | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 25951 | ||
Tim, Okay. Yeah I already knew that the Hebrew word "mow'ed" means appointed time or season. Now compare how that word is used with how "chaq" is used. The Greek word "heorte" means feast or festival not appointed time/season |
