21 | question revamp, 3rd edition | Ecclesiastes | mightilycalled | 198059 | ||
q revamp kjv e.1:14 i have seen all... and behold, all is vanity and VEXATION OF SPIRIT : imo no activity spiritual or secular in this life comes on a platter without strain and frustration when endeavoured mightily 1:15 that which is crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is wanting (nonexistent, my reading) cannot be numbered ---imo God does not desire us to fix everything that is broke 1:17 and i gave my heart to know wisdom, (also)... madness and folly; i perceived (even all this extra effort exerted and endeavoured- my inserted words) also is vexation of spirit 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow the editor wrote Perhaps instead you would care to give your input on Solomon's use of "vanity of vanities, all is vanity." Or was that the intent of your question? vanity-the quality of being futile, of it all having been done, endeavoured in vain and to no avail whatsoever, especially since as i wrote below and as Jesus taught, there is no secret life philosophy beyond the inspection of the astute disciplined Word-meditating believer mt 15:25-26 and confronted by Christ in the sincere authentic Church jn 3:20-21 ---im not so sure of this point, this is my conviction at best now is it possible when jesus said as last words: a little while you will lose sight of me, then a little while later you will see me again that this can be reinterpreted anew as exclusionary regenerated vision for the elect alone; also cf Ecc 12:11-12---jn21:25 previous version: this compiler has tracked down those who are of the same mind as me and King Solomon the Wise, who have reached the conclusion MORE OR LESS, GIVE AND TAKE, THEREABOUTS that the highest peak of mastery of meaning is the point where you lose your grasp of meaning and all is meaningless in the infinitude of interconnectedness of everything with everything else so that you cannot command and control anything anymore (Ecclesiastes, the Holy Bible) IE when your mastery of wisdom loses its distinctiveness of relevant ideas standing out from irrelevant knowledge, you find you have lost your interest in there being meaning in anything since meaning is everywhere and no effort is needed anymore on your part to search it out and store it up and build it up (Proverbs, Holy Bible). Thus your intuition takes totally over your thinking and you decide instantly and instantaneously without needing to reflect anymore, the way the killer in news of late penetrated election rally defenses and nabbed the former Prime Minister of Pakistan. secular support quotes from off the www excerpt www.angelo.edu faculty kboudrea cheap cheap2 scientists.htm Scientists are funny people.

Your question has merit but is not within the scope of this site. Perhaps instead you would care to give your input on Solomon's use of "vanity of vanities, all is vanity."

thanks for quickly responding, so theres no alternative way than by Bible school,college or seminary? How about by computer software like Hebrew and Greek computer tutors for more than usd200 at present exchange rate? or other texts published by the International Bible Societies? does the Lockman Foundation publish DoItYourself tutorial notes or books or software or freeware |

25 | introductory HebGreek for Bible study | Bible general Archive 4 | mightilycalled | 196566 | ||
hi all my question is on how to introduce myself via self-discovery and exploration to New Testament Greek and Old Testament Hebrew, further than the basic "oversimplified" (in my friends' views) resources at blueletterbible.org and esword freeware (Strongs is oversimplified and not true accurate diction in scholarship) i would be interested particularly in studying and comparing at most one chapter per study session of two hours or so with the KJV orand NASB any booklist, good websites, links etc to recommend? |

26 | pls explain more | Psalm | mightilycalled | 196400 | ||
Note: Dear mightilycalled, PS A disclaimer in one's profile does not excuse or mitigate the terms of privilege under which posts are created --------------First, i explain. i quoted most of the verses in order from a published book that had permission from your affiliate, Zondervan. But i did not quote the headings. i dont agree with the accuracy of the headings, and quoted a little out of the context i think was intended by the theologian. i also inserted other quotes to disrupt the order so i think most of the credit should go to me. Over the years we notice that some forum participants prefer to use the words of others rather than invest the time, energy, and effort in composing their own. There's nothing inherently wrong with that. For example, bringing a particularly well written quote from someone with greater authority, ability, or knowledge than our own can often be an exercise of value to us all. Of course, when we fail to attribute to the rightful owner the words we use, it becomes a different matter. This is what is called plagiarism -- which is just a fancy word for stealing. Its a bit worse than that, however, because it is also an effort to elicit admiration for prowess of intellect, creativity, and academic industry that rightly belongs to someone else. Consequently, this sort of behavior is rooted in violations of at least two and perhaps three of the Ten Commandments; i.e., it is sin. Nothing rooted in sin will bring benefit, --------------hopefully you know from your schooling it is very possible that others have had similar lines of reasoning to me, though not exactly worded alike. either to ourselves or to those around us. Indeed, underhanded behavior can often detract from the position we are teaching. It brings doubt to our character, as well as the character of the organizations to which we belong. It demonstrates and allegiance to the spirit of the age, not at all to the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, failure to properly annotate is an explicit violation of the agreement we have signed when we created our account on the forum. ---------a good q-- what's proper annotation, is Treasury of Scripture Knowledge Revised and Expanded Second Printed Hardback Edition abbreviated annotation like what i did proper Furthermore, every time we post we click a button that says "I Agree." Our gracious host has specific legal requirements by which they can operate. The terms by which we quote are part and parcel of those requirements. could you be specific how i have violated these Please, in the future, show greater respect for the Lord, the Lockman Foundation, and your fellow forum members by employing the highest possible standards of intellectual honesty. Better not to post at all if it is done on any other basis. In Him, Doc |
