21 | Infallibility of the Bible questioned. | 2 Tim 3:16 | djconklin | 32081 | ||
"When the uninformed dissenters wax skeptical of the truth of Scripture, they invariably cite the "two" accounts of creation and Noah's flood, about neither of which are they likely to be able to produce an ounce of proof to justify their ton of doubt" Amen, Hank! "I have seen on this very forum page after page of exegesis -- an adultered application of the true meaning of the word .." An exegesis couldn't do such a thing; what you saw was eisegesis (reading meaning into the text) |

22 | Infallibility of the Bible questioned. | 2 Tim 3:16 | djconklin | 32080 | ||
An exegesis is the proper way (i.e., it is analytical, and thorough and doesn't jump to conclusions) to study the Bible so as to uncover what the message of God in the text is to man. For links on how to do an exegesis and samples of the same goto http://biblestudy.iwarp.com | ||||||
23 | which bible translation is true? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 32077 | ||
Those who have studied the various translations say that there's only about 50 texts in which there is any major difference and none of them affect any doctrine. | ||||||
24 | which bible translation is true? | Bible general Archive 1 | djconklin | 32074 | ||
I had a prof who when we turned to our Bibles he read straight from the Greek text and translated as he went--just about as fast as we could read in English. He told us that if we practiced 15 minutes a day we could keep our Greek up. | ||||||
25 | Original language of Revelation | Revelation | djconklin | 32047 | ||
Just printed the web page (23 pages and NO sources!?!) Found one error: "Now there's other subtleties that come through in the Aramaic that don't come through in the Greek. For example, when Y'shua said He was the "Alef and the Tau", there's something hinted here that doesn't come through by translating this as "Alpha and Omega" or "A and the Z". Alef and Tau spell the word "ET" in Hebrew, which has an important grammatical usage that parallels Y'shua's atonement in a spiritual way. Genesis / Bereshit 1:1 says... "In the beginning G-d created it; the heavens and the earth"" The "ET" the author refers to is a direct object marker (i.e., it tells the reader that you have just been given the subject and verb and now you'll be given the direct object). In this verse there is another one attached to the "and" between "heavens and earth". |

That is my understanding also. | ||||||

Thanks! I look forward to seeing it! | ||||||
29 | Original language of Revelation | Revelation | djconklin | 31922 | ||
Tim, I got the impression that the writer of the thesis was claiming that Jesus was using the Hebrew (vs. Aramaic?) alphabet and not the Greek (alpha and omega). |

30 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31920 | ||
You didn't read closely what I wrote--note the word "if". If one lacks faith then one isn't a believer right? Whatever is not of faith is sin? From what we are given in the account there were only two swords amongst all of the 12 disciples. |
||||||
31 | Original language of Revelation | Revelation | djconklin | 31880 | ||
Is there anyway to get a complete copy of the thesis? BTW, there is no doubt that Jesus and John would not or could not have known koine Greek and thus it is highly possible that Jesus did say that He was the alpha and the omega. I'll read the rest after I have had some sleep! |

32 | Dietary value of dietary laws? | Leviticus | djconklin | 31877 | ||
Even if pigs are thoroughly cooked that simply means that one is eating the cooked trichinosis worm, the cysts of the young and does not deal with any of the other problems with eating pork (btw, I used to love pork chops!). A search of the web will reveal a large number of sources as to the medical value of following the dietary laws of the Bible. A local Christian church that does keep them converted a Jew who was in bad health because he was not following the health laws of the Bible and they pointed that out to him that that was the cause of his ill health--he became intirgued and converted to Christianity. | ||||||
33 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31876 | ||
"I will remain adamant, however, that our Lord would not, and even could not, advocate the sin of breaking both the 6th and the 8th commandments in the taking of "necessities" by force with a sword." Jesus wasn't advocating anything like that. Unfortunately, the disciples (as usual) misinterpreted what He meant. The passage has nothing to do with self-defense and given that the disciples split up sometime after the Ascension 2 sowrds would hardly have afforded adequate protection against anyone who was deteremined to rob or attack any of them--note that virtually all labor back then (except for Luke the physician and Matthew the tax collector) was manual labor--so virtually all males were phiscally fit (no couch potatoes!) |

34 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31623 | ||
If they were 12 "strong men" with two swords then why would they hide as they did after the death of Jesus? The Zealots were much better armed and they took on the Romans. Given the context about going out and being supplied by faith divine grace woould provide them with the necessary provisions it is far more likely that Jesus was basically saying that if you don't have faith then with the sword you could take what ever you thought you would need. I forget which commentary I read that in. Perhaps if you looked you'd find it (I just got up from a half sleep after a 16 hour shift so I'm still brain-dead here.). | ||||||
35 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 31366 | ||
Think about it: how could two swords (whatever length) be enough for 12 disciples? And what would they be used for? | ||||||
36 | wandering why the forth commandment is | Col 2:16 | djconklin | 31267 | ||
Excellant texts kalos! I wonder what God will say to those who so quickly despise them and cast them aside? |
||||||
37 | lets stick to original text! | Luke 24:1 | djconklin | 31238 | ||
"Still qyestion remains "Why it is not translated as it is in original text?" Because a literal word-for-word translation wouldn't make sense in our language. |
||||||
38 | Greek has no "first day" in its text? | Luke 24:1 | djconklin | 31237 | ||
"mia ton sabbaton" means "first (after) the sabbath". That is how they designated the first day of the week. | ||||||
39 | How was books in KJV compiled? | OT general | djconklin | 30942 | ||
Madhu, I know of no incident reflecting confusion over the books of the Bible during the time of Christ or during the apostolic era. They recognized which were the books that God had ordained for us and which were not. |
||||||
40 | You shall not Murder, then told too?? | OT general | djconklin | 30941 | ||
In context, Jesus was telling his disciples that if they lacked faith in His ability to provide for their needs then they should buy a sword and thus use it to take what they needed--note that none of them ever did such a thing. | ||||||
