201 | translate OT "with respect to the NT" | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 111904 | ||
From the quote I posted: " Within the book of Isaiah itself, however, the author begins to develop the theological context of this verse, and this provides a connection to the use of the passage in Matthew." "The New Testament author draws from this development and uses the original passage in Isaiah to make the connection between the child originally promised and the child who would be the ultimate fulfillment of that initial promise. The use of Isaiah 7:14 in Matthew 1:23 draws upon the theological development present in the book of Isaiah... |

202 | translate OT "with respect to the NT" | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 112202 | ||
Makarios: When anyone interprets an OT passage, emphasizing what is revealed in the NT while downplaying or ignoring altogether the historical context of the OT passage, does it result in a more literal rendering? Or is the result less literal? Grace to you, kalos |

203 | translate OT "with respect to the NT" | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 112205 | ||
Correction. Makarios: In the first line of the following I've changed "interprets" to "translates" so that the corrected wording is: When anyone TRANSLATES an OT passage, emphasizing what is revealed in the NT while downplaying or ignoring altogether the historical context of the OT passage, does it result in a more literal rendering? Or is the result less literal? Grace to you, kalos |

204 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 112301 | ||
Tim: Sharp observation. But consider this: Exodus 34:14 NAS. --for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God -- Amplified. For you shall worship no other god; for the Lord, Whose name is Jealous, is a jealous (impassioned) God, New English Translation. "For you must not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name[8] is Jealous, is a jealous God. "[8]Here, too, the emphasis on God's being a jealous God is repeated (see Exod 20:5). The use of 'name' here is to stress that this is his nature, his character." The Hebrew word "Shem" (Strong's #08034) here translated "name" has more than one meaning. It can be translated "name; reputation; memory; renown" (Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary, Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1984). Grace to you, kalos |

205 | Why don't we address God as Yahweh? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 112303 | ||
Thank you. It's refreshing to know that someone can read and understand English. If the name of God, YHWH, that appears in the OT nearly 7,000 -- SEVEN THOUSAND -- times is not His name, then God does not have a name. I suppose if His name YHWH appeared 70,000 times, it would still not be enough for some people. How can we NOT take God's name in vain, if we don't even know what it is? How can God's name be hallowed, if we don't even know what it is? --kalos |

206 | Where in Acts do you find INDIVIDUALS... | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 114832 | ||
Let me rephrase the question. Where in the Book of Acts does one find INDIVIDUALS SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come? This question is not impossible to answer. The multiple choice answers are: A) Nowhere in the Book of Acts does one find INDIVIDUALS SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come. B) In the Book of Acts one does find INDIVIDUALS SEEKING for the Holy Spirit and EXPECTING TO RECEIVE TONGUES as the sign that He's come. This is found in Act chapter _____ and verse ______. Choose one or the other. |

Emmaus: I am enjoying the New American Bible, which I recently purchased. I haven't read every word of it, but from what I've seen so far it appears to be a literal, honest and accurate translation. I find the footnotes very helpful. Thank you for your previous recommendation of the St. Joseph Edition. I've looked at it in the bookstore, but have not yet purchased it. Grace and shalom, kalos |

209 | why don't people study the old testmant | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 115061 | ||
ischus: You write: "I encourage you to study and teach the Old Testament as much as possible!" Excellent advice! And that is exactly what I am doing and shall continue to do. I thank you for the encouragement. It has been well said that the OT is the NT ENfolded and the NT is the OT UNfolded. If the New Testament is not the Old Testament unfolded, then what is it? This, of course, is a rhetorical question which requires no answer. I am convinced that this is exactly what the NT is. On the subjects of the Torah (Pentateuch, law) and the OT (Tanakh) there is much more I could say and will say every chance I get. :-) Grace and shalom, kalos |

You can go online and read the text of the New American Bible (NAB) including the excellent footnotes at (http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/index.htm) I don't know much about the St. Joseph Edition. You can look it up at amazon.com to read a description and customer reviews. I prefer reviews written by customers (real people) over those written by editors, professional reviewers and various scholars. Nothing wrong with the latter group, but I can relate more to the needs and expectations of non-professionals and how and to what degree these are met for ordinary, everyday laypersons. I recommend you ask the user Emmaus for more information on the St. Joseph Study Edition. Emmaus is very knowledgeable in the Bible and a person you can trust. |

'For those who say we are not required to keep the Law, I ask, "Just which one of those Ten Commandments were you planning on NOT keeping?"' ____________________ I Believe in the 'Consistent Truth of the Torah '"I came not to destroy the Law or the Prophets" - Matthew 5:17 'The New Covenant teaches that we are saved by grace. Everyone has failed to keep the Law. Through the atonement of Yeshua's work on the cross, we are set free from the punishment that is due us for having broken the perfect standard of the Law. In that sense, we are no longer "under the Law." 'However that does not mean that the moral absolutes of the Law are no longer applicable to us. The New Covenant does not "do away" with the Law in that sense, but rather writes it in our hearts (Jeremiah 31:31). For any system of truth to be valid, it must be consistent with itself. Contradictions disprove truth. If the New Covenant were to contradict previously given scriptures in the Law or the Prophets, then the New Covenant would not be true. 'In the Sermon on the Mount, Yeshua does not contradict the Ten Commandments, but rather instructs us as to what is the true "heart-meaning" of the Law. In that sense He makes the Law even more demanding. For those who say we are not required to keep the Law, I ask, "Just which one of those Ten Commandments were you planning on NOT keeping?" Christianity, without a proper understanding of Torah, loses its own moral courage and integrity' (Seven Pillars of Messianic Judaism, Asher Intrater, 2003. Quoted in my User Profile.) --kalos |

212 | Study Bible Forum or Bible Philosophy | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 115101 | ||
Hank: You write: "It [StudyBibleForum] is designed to be a Forum in which the Bible is the text and posts are expositions and exegeses on that text. Anything beyond that leads us off course." I have no particular individual in mind when I say that anyone who has trouble understanding or accepting what you wrote would be well advised to refrain from posting until they do understand and accept it. The following gets my vote for Quote of the Week. Hank writes: "If a disciple of Christ does not know the word, he should get busy right now and learn it!" RIGHT NOW! --kalos |

Ischus: I recommend to you the book "Restoring the Jewishness of the Gospel: A Message for Christians" by David H. Stern (Jewish New Testament Publications, Inc., 1988, ISBN: 9653590014). It is available at amazon.com and other online booksellers. Anyone desiring to learn more about the Jewish Messianic movement (Jewish roots movement) is well advised to begin with this book. I quote from amazon.com: 'A book the whole Church needs to read! A challenge to conventional Christian ideas! Clear thinking about neglected questions such as: - What central truth, ignored for 1800 years, must be restored if the Church is to fulfill the Great Commission? - How are both the Jews and the Church God's people? - Is there a difference between Jew and Gentile in the body of the Messiah? - Will God fulfill all of his promises to Israel? - Does the Law of Moses remain in force today? - Is the Church antisemitic? If so, what can you do about it? - Should the Church evangelize Jews today? If so, how? 'Surprising answers to these and other crucial questions, along with suggestions for godly action, are given in this exciting and insightful book by an Israeli Messianic Jew, a Jew who trusts Yeshua (Jesus)' (www.amazon.com). Try it, you'll like it. Grace and shalom, kalos |

214 | what does slain in the spirit mean? | Bible general Archive 2 | kalos | 115521 | ||
Hank: I've found a Bible version that is even poorer than the New World Translation. It is largely based on speculation. Few verses in this translation mean the same as they do in the KJV, NKJV, NIV, NASB, etc. A high percentage of it is translated by people who are proficient in neither Hebrew, Greek nor English. Many of the translators never use an English, Hebrew or Greek dictionary nor any other reference book. This version is not internally consistent, to say the least. In fact, most of the verses in it have alternate renderings that are widely divergent from and contradictory to each other. One could say that every passage is the choice of the majority, since the vast minority refuse to have anything to do with it, even though all of them are members of the same organization. Fortunately, the translators have never been together in the same room. If they had there would have been numerous fistfights. This is one of those rare books that costs exactly what it is worth, which is nothing. Can you guess what version this might be? kalos |

Hank: What translation is even poorer than the NWT? What translation fits the description I have given? The answer is: The StudyBibleForum Electronic Bible, which falls somewhere between paraphrase and the Twilight Zone. It's like a free thinking, free wheeling, free-of-fact commentary with an occasional verse of the real Bible in its unlimited margin. Call it an ever growing "waste repository". --kalos |

Colin: Glad to hear you purchased the two books. It will be tempting to just dive right into the main body of both. Nothing wrong with that. But I urge you to read the introductions to the two books. I enjoyed them and have even read the Bible introduction twice. I've only had the JNTC a couple of weeks now. I borrowed my brothers copy and immediately decided to order my own. I'd like to just sit down and read it straight through and, who knows, maybe I will. Enjoy. And thanks for sharing the news. Shalom, kalos |

"Belief in the N.T. denotes more than intellectual assent to a fact. The word (Gk. pistis, noun; pisteuo, verb) means *adherence to, committal to, faith in, reliance upon, trust in* a person or an object, and this involves not only the consent of the mind, but an act of the heart and will of the subject. "Whosoever believeth in him" is equivalent to "whosoever trusts in or commits himself to him [Christ]." Belief, then is synonymous with faith, which in the N.T. consists of believing and receiving what God has revealed" (New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). | ||||||
