41 | was luke a christian? | Philem 1:24 | Michael Draves | 148747 | ||
You are right that John Mauck proposed the theory that Luke wrote Luke and Acts to defend Paul. I loaned out my copy to a lawyer friend and couldn't remember the proper attribution. I think that people who have something in common with an author may have some valid insights that a Bible scholar or historian might miss. Of course it could just be a lawyer seeing a legal defense because he was looking for one. | ||||||
42 | If you are reviled IN the name of Christ | 1 Pet 4:14 | Michael Draves | 148746 | ||
The commentary says "spirit of glory" in lower case. I think it is a consideration for the translator on what to capitialize and for the reader to think about on their own. The word "spirit" only occurs once though it has two articles referring to it and "of glory" and "of God" each have an article so they don't refer to the same object but since "spirit" only occurs once for the "of God" then I would probably capitalize it. When teletypes came out it was decided to use all upper case, even though all lower case was easier to read, so "God" could be written as "GOD" instead of "god". |

44 | spanish translation of the Septuagint? | Bible general Archive 2 | Michael Draves | 114660 | ||
The Jewish Publication Society translation is based on the oldest existing complete Hebrew Masoretic text, the Leningrad Codex created in about 1010 A.D. . The Septuagint was a translation from Hebrew to Greek of the Tanakh. The Septuagint is very important since the translation was prior to 200 BC. The dead sea scrolls oldest fragment dates to about 270 BC. The Dead Sea scrolls have some texts that agree primarily with the Hebrew Masoretic texts and some are closer the the Septuagint readings. The Latin Vulgate was translated from the Septuagint. All Catholic Bibles will have the texts that are in the Septuagint but not in Hebrew in a Deuterocanonical section that Protestants call the Apocrypha. The Latin Vulgate was translated into Castilian in 1280 and is called the Alfonsina Bible. Other Spanish translations as early as 1430 follow the Hebrew text. The Old Testament in Protestant Bibles follow the order of books in the Septuagint but contain only the text in the Hebrew Tanakh. Wycliff Bible Translators make translations into languages that don't have one. Their translators don't have to know the original Biblical languages. The translators must sign a doctrinal statement. Their primary contribution would be creating a written language where it didn't exist before. They are very skilled at figuring out a language that no outsider knows. |

45 | rasied dead died twice? | 1 Thess 4:17 | Michael Draves | 106337 | ||
The term "beloved disciple" does not occur in the Fourth Gospel until after the resurrection of Lazarus. In 11:3 Lazarus is called "he whom you love." If Lazarus is the "beloved disciple" then the statement in the chapter 21:22-23 of the Fourth Gospel makes sense and is relevent to your question whether 'lazarus is still alive physically until the Lord comes.' John 21 22 Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!" 23 Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?" |

46 | explain chapter 3:1-4 | Colossians | Michael Draves | 103672 | ||
Ruth I think your question got overlooked when you tried to clarify it. Col 3:1 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. Col 3:3 For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Paul sees believers as being with Christ in death, burial and resurrection. As a believer in Christ you would thus be seated in Heaven seated "at the right hand of God." Paul is trying to get believers to focus on there spiritual reality instead of the external appearances which he discusses in the previous chapter. One of the things he says there is: Col 2:16 Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- Col 2:17 things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ. |

47 | How was Esther called? | Esther | Michael Draves | 103141 | ||
Esther was "called" by Mordecai with Hathach as messenger. The book of Esther is the only book that does not have any fragments amoung the Dead Sea Scrolls - possibly because the marriage to a foreigner was offensive. For information not in the texts the only source would be rabbinic writings which is of questionable value. Some imply her husband to be the father of Darius as in Daniel 9:1. | ||||||
48 | Pologomy Allowed? | Ex 21:10 | Michael Draves | 102443 | ||
I am not endorsing polygamy - just saying it was allowed. And I said in my first response that monogamy was the ideal. Lets just drop it. | ||||||
49 | Pologomy Allowed? | Ex 21:10 | Michael Draves | 102439 | ||
The condemning of only small portions of a very large practice instead of the whole matter would imply it is allowed especially when it is so blatant. Murder is mentioned and it is also condemned - though killing was also sometimes commanded. And it may be implied that a man should have married his dead brother's sister even if married in the OT since it was not specifically forbidden. Do you want to make up more rules than the 613 the Jews find in the OT? I live in a country (and you probably do too) that only allow serial polygamy (AKA divorce-remarriage). There are countries that this is a real issue and the churches are causing major social problems by forcing divorce on polygamists wanting to join. | ||||||
50 | "tis thou a man amoungst thieves"? | Bible general Archive 2 | Michael Draves | 101033 | ||
From your original question I thought maybe it was referring to the man the Good Samaritan helped. With the context of Proverbs did you look at Proverbs 1:10-19. Maybe this pastor just likes to speak that way. |

You should have got hits in a Search engine with Tanak though I may have confused you by putting TaNaK to hint at the sections. Transliteration is a problem also on doing searches because someone might have used Tanak or Tanach or Tanakh in a relevent page. The usual problem with searches is not too little data but too much that is irrelevant. If from your current readings you want to investigate something further search on the words from it that would not come up in a typical conversation. If you do need to look up a real Hebrew or Greek word hopefully for now you can use the number from a Strongs concordance and use it in an online lexicon like the ones at www.studylight.org which you may have seen if you got to this web page by way of www.biblegateway.com . Mashal not showing up without specifying a similar concept like proverb may be a search engine ranking problem. If you want to find reasonably priced Christian references you might look at www.ChristianBook.com at least to request catalogs. Before the internet became popular to do exhaustive research on Biblical Topics you would use the printed Religious Periodicals Index Number 1 which has been absorbed into the ATLA (American Theological Library Association) Religion Index whose CD might be available at the nearest Seminary or Bible School Library. |

The Tanak is the same as the Old Testament which the Jews divide by the 3 divisions you found and the name is just the first letter of each word with a vowels added so it could be pronounced. Mashal is a broad term for wisdom statments like a proverb or parable. Deuterocanonical is what Roman Catholics call the Apocrypha. In the New Testament of what we have the Epistles were written first. The Pentateuch is the first part of the Old Testament and is the same as the Torah. JEPD is a source theory for the Torah one that used YHWH(Jehovah) for the name of God, one spoke of Elohim, one was concerned with priestly matters and a separate source was proposed for Deuteronomy. Your ability to research is fine and Hank's appraisal of the questions has merit. | ||||||

Well g3ills since you have had time to do some research has any of your views of what the Bible is changed? Why do Jews call the Bible the TaNaK? Hint:(What do Torah, Neviim and Kethuvim mean?) What is the JEDP theory? What is the Septuagint and what does it have to do with Christians dividing the Old Testament into 4 types of writings? Though Protestants and Catholics divide the Old Testament the same way Protestants accept the same books as the Jews. What do Protestants call these books (and portions) they reject from the canon and what do Roman Catholics call these books (a portions) that they include? Could any of the Old Testament books be reclassified as some type of mashal? What is the classification for the first three Gospels that John does not fall into? What is the classification for the writings that were written first? Who is accepted as the author of the only Historical book in the New Testament? Name a book that was not accepted into the New Testament? Could any of the New Testament books be reclassified as plays? |

57 | Abraham and Issac? | Genesis | Michael Draves | 100584 | ||
Abram, Sarai and Jacob were all renamed by God. Issac was named by God from his birth | ||||||
58 | Abraham and Issac? | Genesis | Michael Draves | 100582 | ||
Both received the promise of many descendents. Abraham had 2 or 3 wives depending on whether you consider Hagar to be the same person as Keturah. Issac only had 1 wife. | ||||||
59 | Whatt was the dimension of the Ark | Exodus | Michael Draves | 99983 | ||
Since rsota's original question on 9/9/03 referred to Exodus it probably meant the Ark of the Covenant and not Noah's Ark. EdB gave the dimensions of the Ark of the Covenant on 9/9/03. | ||||||
60 | Were Women ever Crucified? | Matt 23:34 | Michael Draves | 99680 | ||
Apparently this is at the end of Hasmonean era around 70 BC. It also appears to be a totally Jewish incident and not Roman. | ||||||
