301 | MJH: Matthew in Hebrew and "Q" Document? | NT general Archive 1 | kalos | 177180 | ||
You write: “Also, the evidence that Hebrew was the common spoken language of the people in the Galil is so over whelming (sic) that it baffles the mind that anyone would think otherwise.” Apparently not every historian is overwhelmed by the evidence of which you speak. People’s insistence that the New Testament or parts of it were originally written in Greek is what baffles my mind, especially since there is no documentary evidence to support it. So far the only “proof” I’ve seen is of the “He said/she said” variety. Such hearsay testimony is inadmissible in a court of law. And what is the Galil? I’m not familiar with this term. Grace to you, John |

"The people of first century Palestine, including Jesus, spoke the Aramaic language. However, early Christian writings were written entirely in Greek, the universal language of the Roman Empire." (www.twopaths.com/faq_kjv.htm) ____________________ Tim Moran (StudyBibleForum.com) has written: ‘The entire argument against the primacy of the Greek manuscripts seems to be: ‘We have no hard evidence, but the Hebrew COULD have been written first! :-)’ ____________________ (Source for the following: www.angelfire.com/la/jlush/dangersHRM.html) 'Some of the errors in the HRM [Hebrew Roots Movement], or ANY, for that matter, who classify themselves Messianic Jews today are: '1. They call for Christians to recognize extra-biblical Jewish books, which are supposed to give fuller understanding of the Greek New Testament. In fact some go so far as to proclaim the Hebrew Scriptures are the authentic scriptures, not the Greek text of the KJV Bible. 'The New Testament was given in its original, inspired from the Hand of God, in GREEK, not Hebrew. Most of the extra-biblical Hebrew "scriptures" that the HRM is seeking to foist onto the Christian Church are ancient writings, often with occult and mystical sources, traditional material which are NOT Scripture at all. They are extra-biblical sources of knowledge. 'The Bible was written in 3 languages: '1. Hebrew was the Language of the Old Testament. '2. Aramaic was the language of the far east until the time of Alexander the Great. '3. Greek was the New Testament language and the International language at the time of Christ. 'But yet the Hebrew Roots Movement claims falsely that the original Gospels were written in Hebrew, or possibly Aramaic, and that the Greek New Testament is a mere translation and in some cases a mis-translation of the Hebrew or Aramaic originals. They have even gone so far (some of them) to conclude that Paul's writings where he addressed the heresy they teach, were re-written by Rome and are not authentic. Of course they cannot prove this, but it is enough to cast doubt in their adherents and justify themselves in their error.'

A Hebrew Gospel of Matthew? 'Jehovah’s Witnesses falsely claim the gospel of Matthew was originally written in Hebrew. In doing so, JW’s openly trash the reliability of the Bible. 'YHWH "Yahweh" (The Tetragrammaton) Jehovah’s Witnesses are guilty of adding to the word of God by adding the divine name YHWH in the New Testament where it is never found in the original Greek manuscripts, and blamed the Bible as being corrupted. Rather than trashing their false doctrine, they trash the Bible! Their central premise is that Matthew was written in Hebrew but this is entirely false. 'The Wycliffe Bible commentary: Matthew, Pfeiffer, C. F. 'Composition and Date. The great frequency of citations and allusions to Matthew found in the Didache, Epistle of Barnabas, Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and others attests its early composition and widespread use. The literary connections of this Gospel must be considered in its relations to the other Synoptics, and also to the statement of Papias that "Matthew wrote the words in the Hebrew dialect, and each one interpreted as he could" (Eusebius Ecclesiastical History 3.39). Many have explained Papias’ statement as referring to an Aramaic original from which our Greek Gospel is a translation. Yet our Greek text does not bear the marks of a translation, and the absence of any trace of an Aramaic original casts grave doubts upon this hypothesis.' 'The fathers, from Papias to Eusebius, who perpetuated the old tradition regarding the Hebrew Gospel, themselves rest their assertion on tradition, i. e., on reports that they had heard. And none of these fathers, not even Papias himself, was able to name a single person who had seen - not to say handled - this alleged Hebrew Matthew. The reports of the fathers regarding a Hebrew "Gospel" must be considered as hearsay, unsupported by a tangible fact and contradicted by all the probabilities involved as well as by several uncontested facts.'

Hank, How do we respond to Sam Harris? I concur with you -- we don't, at least not on this Forum. “So where does this leave the philosophers, the scholars, and the world's brilliant debaters? God has made them all look foolish and has shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense.” 1 Corinthians 1:20 NLT Too many of the philosophers, the scholars, and the world’s brilliant debaters claim they do not believe in God. When all is said and done, it isn’t that they CANNOT believe in Him, but that they WILL NOT. Grace to you, John |

305 | How do we respond to Sam Harris? | 1 Pet 3:15 | kalos | 177149 | ||
“I'll expose so-called experts as crackpots.” 18The Message that points to Christ on the Cross seems like sheer silliness to those hellbent on destruction, but for those on the way of salvation it makes perfect sense. This is the way God works, and most powerfully as it turns out. 19It's written, I'll turn conventional wisdom on its head, I'll expose so-called experts as crackpots. 20So where can you find someone truly wise, truly educated, truly intelligent in this day and age? Hasn't God exposed it all as pretentious nonsense? 21Since the world in all its fancy wisdom never had a clue when it came to knowing God, God in his wisdom took delight in using what the world considered dumb--preaching, of all things!--to bring those who trust him into the way of salvation. 22While Jews clamor for miraculous demonstrations and Greeks go in for philosophical wisdom, 23we go right on proclaiming Christ, the Crucified. Jews treat this like an anti-miracle--and Greeks pass it off as absurd. 24But to us who are personally called by God himself--both Jews and Greeks--Christ is God's ultimate miracle and wisdom all wrapped up in one. 25Human wisdom is so tinny, so impotent, next to the seeming absurdity of God. Human strength can't begin to compete with God's "weakness." 26Take a good look, friends, at who you were when you got called into this life. I don't see many of "the brightest and the best" among you, not many influential, not many from high-society families. 27Isn't it obvious that God deliberately chose men and women that the culture overlooks and exploits and abuses, 28chose these "nobodies" to expose the hollow pretensions of the "somebodies"? 29That makes it quite clear that none of you can get by with blowing your own horn before God. 30Everything that we have--right thinking and right living, a clean slate and a fresh start--comes from God by way of Jesus Christ. 31That's why we have the saying, "If you're going to blow a horn, blow a trumpet for God." 1 Corinthians 1:18-29 The MESSAGE |

“God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise” 18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." 20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. 26Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. 27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. 28He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, 29so that no one may boast before him. 1 Corinthians 1:18-29 NIV |

307 | ‘Why should I go to church?’ | Heb 10:25 | kalos | 177048 | ||
‘Why should I go to church?’ by Gary Vaterlaus ‘Every believer should be connected and involved with a local congregation. The Christian life was meant to be lived within the context of the family of God and not in isolation. Hebrews 10 clearly tells us to "consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near" (Heb. 10:24-25). It is simply a matter of obedience to the Lord's command that we meet together with other believers. ‘It is difficult to be the kind of Christian that God desires you to be apart from involvement in a local church. The church must be assembled in order to carry out many of its functions. These include…' To read more go to: http://solagroup.org/articles/faqs/faq_0030.html |

308 | Seems to change in stories? | Mal 3:6 | kalos | 177028 | ||
Does God change His mind? 'Psalm 102:25-27 says “Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.” Also, Malachi 3:6 says “ For I [am] the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” And finally, James 1:17 tells us “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” 'These verses assert that God is unchanging, and unchangeable. However, it can seem that there is a contradiction between what is taught by these verses, and other verses such as Genesis 6:6 “And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.” Also, Jonah 3:10 which says “And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.” Both of these verses speak of the Lord repenting of something, and can seem contrary to verses that teach that God is unchanging. However, close examination of these passages reveals that these are not truly indications that God is capable of changing. The key to these verses is the word “repent.” In the original language, the word that is translated as “repent” is the same in both verses. The word is the Hebrew expression of “to be sorry for.” Being sorry for something does not mean that a change has occurred, it simply means that there is regret for something having taken place. 'Consider in Genesis 6:6, that “…it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth,” This verse even goes on to say “…it grieved him at his heart.” This verse comes right out and says that God had regret for creating man. However, obviously He did not reverse his decision; instead, through Noah, He allows man to continue to exist. You and I are living proof that God did not change His mind about creating man. Also, the context of this passage is a description of the sinful state man was living in, and it is man’s sinfulness that triggered God’s sorrow, not man’s existence. Consider what Jonah 3:10 says “…and God repented of the evil, that he said that he would do unto them, and he did it not.” Again, the same Hebrew word is used here, which expresses “to be sorry for.” Why was God sorry for what he had planned for the Ninevites? Because they had a change in heart, and as a result, changed their ways from disobedience to obedience. 'Romans 3:23 teaches us that all men sin, and fall short of God’s standard. Romans 6:23 states that the consequence for this is death (spiritual and physical.) So, the people of Nineveh were deserving of punishment. All of us face this same situation, as it is man’s choice to sin that separates us all from God. Man cannot hold God responsible for his own predicament. So it would be contrary to the character of God to not punish the Ninevites had they continued in sin. However, the people of Nineveh turned to obedience, and for that the Lord chose not to punish them as He had originally intended. Did the change on the part of the Ninevites obligate God to do what he did? Absolutely not! God cannot be placed in a position of obligation to man. God is good and righteous, and chose not to punish the Ninevites as a result of their change of heart. (By the way, God still offers salvation to all that turn to Him!) If anything, what this passage does is point to the fact that God does not change, because had the Lord not preserved the Ninevites, this would be contrary to the character of God. 'What all this boils down to, is an examination of the grammar and context. The word that is translated “repent” or “repented” simply means “to be sorry for” and does not indicate a change, but simply a state of regret. Further, neither of these passages shows that a change in the character of God occurred, or that God did something contrary to His character.”' Recommended Resource: Knowing God by J.I. Packer.

“Help won't come from the dictionary.” 'Never Read a Bible Verse' by Gregory Koukl (Source: www.str.org) ____________________ “Help won't come from the dictionary. Dictionaries only complicate the issue, giving us more choices, not fewer. Help must come from somewhere else close by: the surrounding paragraph.” ____________________ 'If there was one bit of wisdom, one rule of thumb, one single skill I could impart, one useful tip I could leave that would serve you well the rest of your life, what would it be? What is the single most important practical skill I've ever learned as a Christian? 'Here it is: NEVER READ A BIBLE VERSE. That's right, never read a Bible verse. Instead, always read a paragraph -- at least… 'When I'm on the radio, I use this simple rule to help me answer the majority of Bible questions I'm asked, even when I'm totally unfamiliar with the verse. It's an amazingly effective technique you can use, too. 'I read the [Bible] paragraph, not just the verse. I take stock of the relevant material above and below. Since the context frames the verse and gives it specific meaning, I let it tell me what's going on. 'This works because of a basic rule of all communication: Meaning always flows from the top down, from the larger units to the smaller units, not the other way around. The key to the meaning of any verse comes from the paragraph, NOT JUST FROM THE INDIVIDUAL WORDS. 'The numbers in front of the sentences give the illusion the verses stand alone in their meaning. They were not in the originals, though. Numbers were added hundreds of years later. Chapter and verse breaks sometimes pop up in unfortunate places, separating relevant material that should be grouped together. ____________________ “Words have different meanings in different contexts (that's what makes puns work). When we consider a verse in isolation, one meaning may occur to us. But how do we know it's the right one?” ____________________ 'First, ignore the verse numbers and try to get the big picture. Then begin to narrow your focus. It's not very hard or time consuming. It takes only a few moments and a little observation of the text. 'Begin with the broad context of the book. What type of literature is it: history, poetry, proverb? What is the passage about in general? What idea is being developed? 'Stand back from the verse and look for breaks in the narrative that identify major units of thought. Ask, "What in this paragraph or group of paragraphs gives any clue to the meaning of the verse?" 'There's a reason this little exercise is so important. Words have different meanings in different contexts (that's what makes puns work). When we consider a verse in isolation, one meaning may occur to us. But how do we know it's the right one? Help won't come from the dictionary. Dictionaries only complicate the issue, giving us more choices, not fewer. Help must come from somewhere else close by: the surrounding paragraph. 'With the larger context now in view, you can narrow your focus and speculate on the meaning of the verse itself. Sum it up in your own words. 'Finally, and this is critical, see if your paraphrase makes sense when inserted in the passage. Does it dovetail naturally with the bigger picture? (...) 'Daily Bread? 'This raises legitimate questions about daily devotionals that build a short message from a single verse. In my view, such quiet-time helps can be inspirational, but they come with an obvious drawback. 'Fortunately, the liability can be overcome by remembering our basic rule: NEVER READ A BIBLE VERSE. Instead, read a paragraph, at least. Always check the context. Observe the flow of thought. Then focus on the verse. 'Remember, meaning always flows from the top down, from the larger units to the smaller units. A reflection on a Bible passage from a sermon or a devotional may be edifying, encouraging, and uplifting. If it is not the message of the text, though, it lacks biblical authority even when the quote comes right out of the Word of God. 'If you will do this one thing -- if you will read carefully in the context applying the paraphrase principle -- you will begin to understand the Bible as God intended. Without the bigger picture you'll be lost. 'Only when you are properly informed by God's Word -- the way it is written in its context -- can you be transformed by it. Every piece becomes powerful when it's working together with the whole.

Didn't you know, Hank? God sits at a desk up in heaven all day with a pencil and a big eraser. Whenever a believer sins, He erases their name. When they confess, He pencils it back in. Sin, delete. Confess, add. Isn't this a ludicrous picture? Yet that's what some would have us believe. "The good news is God's pencil has no eraser. Before you breathed your first word, God knew how you would respond to His offer of grace. According to His foreknowledge, He wrote your name in the book of life."

We are not physical Israel. ____________________ "We are not physical Israel. We don’t live in the promised land. We don’t have a Levitical priesthood..." ____________________ 'Question: 'Does “robbing God” in Malachi 3:8 apply to us today?' (Source: www.bible.org/qatopic.asp) 'Answer: 'When you come to a subject like tithing, I think it is important to see that there are two extremes to avoid. The first is the temptation to conclude that tithing is not for this age, so that I feel no obligation to give, and can keep as much money for myself as possible. The other is to use the tithing texts to make people feel obliged to give more, and to feel guilty if they don’t. Preachers are usually the guilty ones with respect to the latter. The sad reality is that in most churches, at least half of those who attend give nothing —that’s right, nothing—at all to the Lord’s work. 'In the King James Version, “tithing” (“tithe,” “tithes,” “tithing”) occurs 40 times in the Bible, 32 times in the Old Testament, and 8 times in the New. In the New Testament, 5 of the 8 occurrences are found in Hebrews 7:5-9, which are referring to the “tithe” of Abraham to Melchizedek in the Old Testament. Two of the remaining 3 occurrences occur in Luke. In Luke 11:42 we find a parallel text to the one remaining text (Matthew 23:23). Here, Jesus accuses the Pharisees of tithing in the small, inexpensive, things (mint, dill, cummin), but neglecting the weightier matters. Thus, Jesus does not condemn tithing, but says that there are more important matters. (One could point out that at this point Jesus was still talking as One in the old dispensation, and not the new.) In Luke 18:12 we see the self-righteous Pharisee, boasting about his tithing as a proof (in his mind) of his righteousness. So far as I can find in the New Testament, neither Jesus nor any of His apostles taught the necessity of tithing. Neither can we find any statement that they did tithe—that they practiced tithing. Jesus did pay the temple tax (Matthew 17:24-27), but we do not read of Him paying His tithe. (...) 'I would have to say that the whole tithing system cannot be brought over [from the Old Testament], in a wholesale fashion, to the church age or the New Testament saint. ‘We are not physical Israel. We don’t live in the promised land. We don’t have a Levitical priesthood, or sacrifices to offer (literally, at least). ‘We are, however, to support those who minister to us (1 Corinthians 9:1-14; 1 Galatians 6:6; 1 Timothy 5:17-18). We are to give to the poor, especially the saints (Acts 6:1-6; Romans 12:13; 1 Corinthians 16:1f.; 2 Corinthians 8 and 9; Gal. 2:10; 6:10; etc.). From 2 Corinthians 8 and 9 and Philippians 4, we certainly see that our giving should be out of gratitude, and something we joyfully do. The whole concept of stewardship should abolish the mindset that says, “Ten percent of what I own is to be given to God, but the remaining ninety percent is mine.” It is all God’s. As stewards, we are to wisely invest it for the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom. In the 2 Corinthians (8 and 9) text and the Philippians 4 passage I do not see Paul appealing to the Law as the basis for giving, as though it was only our duty. I see Paul speaking of giving as though it were our delight, as it should be. All of this is to say that I would not seek to employ the Malachi text to badger saints to give. I would use the New Testament texts such as those I have mentioned to do so. We should give. Most of us should give more than we do. But I don’t personally find the Malachi text the compelling text for teaching others about giving.' ____________________ www.bible.org/qatopic.asp |

There have been very rare EXCEPTIONS (e.g., Lazarus and the multitude who were resuscitated at Christ's resurrection died twice; compare John 11:43, 44; Matt. 27:51-53). Those, like Lazarus, who were raised from the dead by a miraculous act of our Lord were not resurrected to a glorified body and unending life. They only experienced resuscitation. 'Another exception will be those who don't die even once, but who will be "caught up...to meet the Lord in the air" (1 Thess. 4:17; compare Enoch, Gen. 5:24; Elijah, 2 Kin. 2:11).'

There must have been a serious misconception in the church in Paul's day, too. The Apostle John and the Apostle Paul, among others, also believed in the believer's security. Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you WILL perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6 (Emphasis added.) NASB Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. AMPLIFIED Hebrews 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save to the uttermost (completely, perfectly, finally, and for all time and eternity) those who come to God through Him, since He is always living to make petition to God and intercede with Him and intervene for them. In what version of the Bible does John 10:28-29 say: 'And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [29] My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand, BUT WE CAN TAKE OURSELVES OUT OF GOD'S HAND (or we can jump)'? Where in the Bible does it say that we can jump? If it is true that we can take ourselves out of God's hand, then according to verse 29, we are greater than God. In what version of the Bible does Romans 8:39 say: 'nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, BUT WE CAN SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM HIS LOVE'? In verse 39, if man can separate himself from God's love, then man was not created. It says: "nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God." |
