301 | Would actions change if? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139306 | ||
Janae said, "We are going to be with God in heaven: "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you." John 14:2" #1 The word "mansions" is not a correct translation. (Materialism in Heaven?") #2 If you understand what those hearing Jesus' words understood, you would see this much differently. Allow me to explain . . . Household – In the Galilee, a father would have a household that would include a home structure, a place for animals and food, and a courtyard. (See archeology for proof.) When a son wanted to get married his father and the bride’s father would bring the proposal together. The son would say to the bride to be, “I will go to my father’s household to prepare a place for you. When I am finished I will come for you.” The son went home to add a room (important word) to the father’s house for himself and his bride. The son did not determine when the room was complete, the father did. (You can guess why). The father might say, “Son, I know you are excited to have the wedding, but you must do a good job, this is where your wife will live.” When the FATHER said the room was ready, then he told the son who, at any time, would go to the town of the bride to get her. The whole party would come with trumpets and all. The bride was supposed to be ready at all times. Then the groom would taker her to the room, get “married”, and party for a week. The above is how this worked in the Galilee where Jesus lived and taught. This is what people were thinking when Jesus spoke, “In my Father’s household are many rooms: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.” The marriage connection is obvious. The household is a COMMUNITY of people living in relationships. NOT mansions for individuals. This information above also enlightens other scriptures as well. (The 10 virgins, Jesus not knowing when He is returning, etc…) MJH |

302 | Has the church replaced Israel? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139303 | ||
I thought that Judah was dispersed by the Babylonians in 586 BC? In Jewish history before the birth of Christ we read about the Diaspora, which was Jews dispersed all over the known world. After 70 years, many returned under the leadership of Nehemiah and Ezra. "4 AD when Rome took authority from the Jews" ??? The Romans took that authority away much earlier than 4AD! Also 70AD did not create a wide spread dispersion of the Jews (many, but not all). IT was the revolt of Bar Kochba (spelling may be wrong) in 130is AD that caused the main dispersion that lasted until 1946. Although there has always been a remnant in the Land. MJH |

303 | Has the church replaced Israel? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139275 | ||
Wasn't this passage already fulfilled even before Jesus came? | ||||||
304 | Men dwell with God, or God with men? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139271 | ||
Those passages speak of God making His dwelling WITH MEN, not men making their dwelling among God. MJH |

305 | replacement theoplogy is incorrect? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139237 | ||
Replacement theology says that the Church (called out ones) replace Israel. Therefor Israel is nothing from the ressurection to forever future. (Jews can still be saved through faith in Christ). The promises in the Old Testament are applied in the future to the Church and no longer to Israel. Others would add: "Because Israel forsake the covenant." They would also quote many of Jesus words, such as Jesus' Tirumphant entry where He says, "Oh Israel how I longed to gather you as a hen gathers her chicks, but you were not willing..." MJH |

306 | Who are: Freeman, God Fearers, Proselyt? | Col 3:11 | MJH | 139236 | ||
Thanks very much for the back ground. This is what I was looking for. This is another example of how historical knowledge can aide in ones understanding in scripture. I appreciate the time and effort to answer the question. MJH |

307 | He-man, All the promises of Abraham? | Rom 11:25 | MJH | 139188 | ||
Don't we all end up in heaven with God in the end? Or does God end up with us on Earth? |

308 | Who is a Jew? | Rom 2:28 | MJH | 139145 | ||
Like I said, the term Jew was used to refer to all those of Israel by this time. But the term originated from the tribe of Judah which for centuries was the only tribe in the Land; however, some individuals from other tribes were there in very small number. Thus Paul, a Benjamite, would refer to himself as a Jew by this time in history—especially speaking to Greeks or Romans. If I get some time I will research it some more and provide more definite information, none of which is really important to know, but of late I have been very interested in the Hebrew and world history during the second temple times.

309 | Who is a Jew? | Rom 2:28 | MJH | 139100 | ||
Kalos, A Jew is from the tribe of Judah. Usually one thinks of Israel and Jew as one and the same. Technically that is not accurate. But since most who remain are from the tribe of Judah, the name Jew came to mean all Israel. It is interesting to note that Paul (Saul) was a Benjamite, and not a Jew (from Judah). I'm certain there is much more detail information about how and when this term Jew came about and when it replaced Judah and when it came to mean all Israel. |

310 | Enoch's prophesy in OT? | Jude 1:14 | MJH | 138510 | ||
Thanks for the commentary notes. It is always interesting to see what others have had to say about a text. Here is another: David Stern's Commentary: "Jude quotes 1 Enoch 1:9 . 1 Enoch, a compilation of writings by several authors who lived in the last two centuries BC, is one of the Pseudepigrapha, Jewish books attributed to famous biblical figures, such as Enoch. Such attributation was not deceptive but either hororific or a means of identifying the message of the actual author with the character and activity of the supposed one; compare the writer of an historical novel or documentary who puts words in the mouth of George Washington. Jude's quoting a non-canonical book does not make 1 Enoch inspired Scripture, nore does it disqualify Jude's letter. Paul quated pagan authors at Ac 17:28-29 and Ti 1:12, and no one supposes that their words should be included in Holy writ or Paul's excluded." An interesting study would be to find out how first century Jews and Jewsih believers felt about the Oral Teachings (Oral Torah), and books like Enoch. It's quite interesting, but beyond the scope of this text discussion. It's been nice discussing with you. MJH |

311 | Enoch's prophesy in OT? | Jude 1:14 | MJH | 138462 | ||
BradK It isn't a question of IF Jude is quoting Enoch, but why. It is a direct quote from Enoch 1:9. Obviously we do not consider the Book of Enoch to be authoritative, nor written by Enoch; but Jude does quote from it none-the-less. See: http://www.heaven.net.nz/writings/thebookofenoch.htm for an on-line translation of the Book of Enoch. Below is a copy of Book of Enoch 1:9 "And behold! He cometh with ten thousands of His holy ones To execute judgement upon all, And to destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." Book of Enoch 1:9 MJH |

Doc, please see my post in this thread under the heading "sources?" My post begins, "I've spent several hours...." and was posted on 11/20/04 at 11:53pm I mention this to you because you seemed interested in the discussion and I didn't want you to miss what will hopefully be my final post on the matter regardless of whether my point is accepted. Hope all is well with you and your illness. God Bless, Marvin |

Steve, please see my post in this thread under the heading "sources?" My post begins, "I've spent several hours...." and was posted on 11/20/04 at 11:53pm The meaning may be changed, but it fits the context perfectly and the traditional meaning is made in other places in scripture, just not here. |

315 | Hebrew culture;a help or not? | Matt 5:17 | MJH | 137791 | ||
Steve and John (and others?), Once I re-track down the apparently elusive source for this interpretation, I will get back to this thread and see if anything makes more sense. I think the fear is that if my interpretation is correct, that it therefore diminishes a Christian teaching or possibly a Doctrine. But I would not fear this (in case anyone has been) because the common interpretations for Matt 5:17—that Messiah Jesus was the "end of" the Law [Torah], meaning the purpose of and what the Prophets were pointing to—is made in many other places within the New Testament, not just here. But, like I said, we should get back to this once I find the source and shed some more light on the topic. Marvin |

John chapter 21 the word Love is used in its various Greek forms. YES! I like that. Hebrew, amazingly, also has 3 words for love. Ahava, Ryah, and Dod (possibly more) but these match the Greek and are all in the Song of Solomon. Jesus would have used Ahava, and Peter use Ryah. Again, when John told this part of the story he could translate the subtleties into Greek from Hebrew. -It's neat to see how John was following Peter and Jesus. I picture Jesus taking Peter off alone to have this discussion, and then John tails behind just close enough to hear. Read it with this in mind and see if you get that feeling. - I also agree that God most definitely arranged the languages that way. I see that over and over again in studying Hebrew, and I imagine the same with Greek. God after all does plan well. :) In Him, Marvin |

I like your answer and agree (My other comments on this not withstanding.) On our other thread I think I just got sarcastic and a bit upset with your comments, so in this thread I will appologize and I have noted that you certainly understand more of what I am saying than your posts to me have led on. (I read your Bio.) God bless, Marvin |

Your comments on Jesus speaking Greek were fascinating and I am thankful for the chance to read them. They educated me. I often said that in Jerusalem, Jesus would have had to speak another language other than Hebrew because of the vast numbers of people from outside the region. Greek was my third guess, but with your posts, maybe it will become my first. This does not explain how he spoke to His disciples and those in Galilee. I still firmly believe that He spoke Hebrew (you even make that point to some degree.) I am not the best source for this argument and making it would plagiarize, so see the book, “Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus: New Insights From a Hebraic Perspective.” by Bivin and Blizzard. I even have an extra copy I could send you. Since you are interested in languages, then this is a MUST READ. Believe the book or not, it still provides a treasure of information and would be useful. On other notes: I was taught that Jesus built in Sepphoris, a city being built when he was a child and closer to Nazareth (building with stone.) Caesarea was a long way off, but of course we really can only speculate. You mentioned Pilot and not knowing much about him. Check out Paul Meier’s book about the man. Very fascinating and explains why he might have acted the way he did when Jesus was condemned (something that “The Passion” got right – or close). On your explanation of Jesus quoting Deut. 6:5 and adding “mind”; you are of course right in knowing that the Greek had to add “mind” to get the full meaning, but couldn’t the Gospel writers have made the change, and Jesus still teach it in Hebrew? Thanks for the lively discussion, and for not calling me names because I study Hebrew culture, language and 1st century rabbinic teachings to more fully grasp who Jesus is. (I’m sorry, did that sound sarcastic?) |

See my reply to kalos below in the thread. He responded to you and I responded to both in that post titled: "Hebrew culture; a help of not". I also look forward to answering you on Mark 7, but one thread at a time. This one has surprised me as is evident in my post stated above. Thanks, Marvin |
