61 | Three days or three years? | Amos 4:4 | serenetime | 35060 | ||
Makarios, Interesting find and question. It's interesting that some translations say three days, and some say three years. In the KJV, it also says three years, but when going back to the original Hebrew and or Caldee in the Strongs Exhaustive Concordance it renders the meaning as such, OT#3117 yowm (yome); from an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figurative (a space of time defined by an associated term), often used adverb: KJV - age, always, chronicals, continually (-ance), daily, ([birth-], each, to) day, (now a, two) days (agone), elder, X end, evening, (for) ever (-lasting, -more), X full, life, as (so) long as (... live), (even) now, old, outlived, perpetually, presently, remaineth, X required, season, X since, space, then, (process of) time, as at other times, in trouble, weather, (as) when, (a, the, within a) while (that), X whole (age), (full) year (-ly), younger. In this we notice that it says that it's a "day", but then it also says it's an "age", "season", "space", and "daily". Possibly literally sunrise to sunset, or sunset to sunset. A space in time. But I know it says in scripture that a day to the Lord is a thousand years. 2 Peter 3:8 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. KJV My interpretation of this, is that three days means three ages, and three years also means three ages. In that years symbolises the thousand year period of one day, also rendering it an age.

62 | info on marriage how to treat each outh | Col 3:18 | serenetime | 34080 | ||
Hey rlm, There are several scriptures regarding love. Not only in marriage, but in loving one another.Matt 5:43 43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. KJV Matt 22:37 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. KJV Mark 12:33 33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. KJV Luke 6:27 27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, KJV Luke 10:27 27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. KJV John 15:12 12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. KJV Having used only a couple of verses in the general. Now lets look at marriage. Eph 5:25-30 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; 26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, 27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. KJV Eph 5:33 33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. KJV We are to love one another even if it's not what we want. Because God is love, and we are his example. But I show you a great mystery.I believe that we all need to humble one's self.

63 | Is LAST always FINAL | Bible general Archive 1 | serenetime | 34078 | ||
10ECPreacher, I'm confused, there is no John3:37, but regarding what Praisemaster said, I've look up Last in the Greek, and it says for all verses in the NT, it is the same translation for them all. Which means "Further most out". I'm sorry, but there's no getting around this. Look it up. Love in the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||
64 | Spiritual understanding? | John 4:23 | serenetime | 31260 | ||
Howdy, Matt.7:6-8 Give not which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under feet, and turn again and rend you. 7) Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall findeth; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8) For everyone that asketh recieveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

65 | The wisest man that became a fool? | Proverbs | serenetime | 31258 | ||
Hi to All, Soloman says in Prov.14:33 Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding; But that which is in the midst of fools is made known. Thanks seanster for your question. Let us never forget that Soloman was still just a man, and that God's wisdom is acquired, but that Soloman knew that he would have to seek Wisdom daily. Serenetime | ||||||
66 | wandering why the forth commandment is | Col 2:16 | serenetime | 31247 | ||
The ten commandements are not the same as statutes and ordinances. Statutes and Ordinances are man made and the Ten Commandments are God given. Jesus says that he didn't come to destroy the law (commandments) but to fulfil, Matt.5:17-19. He never said to do away with the commandments.Oh by the way, why wouldn't we need a rest!

67 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31245 | ||
EdB, The Massorah is from the root (masar), so as to commit it to his trust. Hence the name is given to the small writing (Massorah Magna) referred to, because it contains information necessary to those into whose trust the Sacred Text was comitted, so that they might transcribe it, and hand it down correctly. the Text itself had been fixed before the Massorites were put in charge of it. This has been the work of the sopherim (from saphar, to count, or number). their work under Ezra and Nehemiah, was to set the Text in order after the return from Babylon; and we read of it in Neh.8:8, Ezra7:6,11. The men of the Great Synagogue completed the work. This work lasted about 110 years, Nehemiah to Simon the first, 410-300 B.C. The Sopherim were the authorised revisers of the Sacred Text; and their work being completed, the Massorites were the authorised custodians of it. Their work was to preserve it. The Massorah is called "A fence to the scriptures," because it locked all words and letters in their places. It does not contain notes or comments as such, but facts and phenomena. It records the number of times the several letters occur in the various books of the Bible; the number of words, and the middle word; the number of verses, and the middle verse; the number of expressions and combination of words. All this not from a perverted ingenuity, but for the set purpose of safeguarding the Sacred Text, and preventing the loss or misplacement of a single letter or word. This Massorah is not contained in any one Manuscript. No Manuscript, contains the whole, or even the same part. It is spread over many manuscripts, and Dr. C.D. Ginsburg has been the first and only scholar who has set himself to collect and collate the whole, copying from every available in the libraries of many countries. When the Hebrew Text was printed, only the large type in the columns was regarded, and the small type of the Massorah was left unheeded, in the Manuscripts from which the Text was taken. When translators came to the printed Hebrew Text, they were necessarily destitute of the information contained in the Massorah; so as the Revisers as well as the Translators of the Authorised Version carried out their work without any idea of the treasures contained in the Massorah; and therfore, without giving a hint of it to their readers.

Greetings Tim, I have always enjoyed interacting with you. Especially because you have always enlightened me to things that I did not know.

Looking for Truth, I deeply appreciate your input. I am always open to constructive criticism, if it means that I learn a deeper truth of my Fathers Word. But I feel that sometimes I am put down more than uplifted. I hope to hear from you again soon. Continue to enlighten me if I need so. In the Father's LOVE, Serenetime | ||||||

EdB, OK,so the Geneva Bible was before the KJV. So why don't folks like you use the Geneva bible. Wouldn"t it make sense to do so. Oh, and it's so nice to hear from you. Serenetime | ||||||
73 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31060 | ||
Greetings EdB, I appreciate your note, but I believe to the contrary. I do not agree and will not ever agree that the later translation are closer to the original translations of the original dead sea scrolls and others, but thank you for your input, and I feel that what you say doesn't make sense to me. Nowhere has there even a mentioned of the 1611 Version of the King James Bible. Are you even familiar?? In the Love of the Living Water, Serenetime | ||||||
74 | The Massorah? | OT general | serenetime | 31020 | ||
Kalos, You saying I'm bashing, but I say I'm using them as an example. Doesn't it make sense that the earlier the translation of the Bible that it would easier to translate back to the original language which would give a better understanding of the Word? Later translations (I feel, and just my belief) can make it more difficult to go back to the original manuscripts, and therefore if using a much later translation makes it almost impossible to get the full meaning. The NIV, and the Amplified, etc. are fine if one chooses to use them, but I prefer to use the King James Bible, and I'm talking about the 1611 version. I meant no offense toward Tim, but I believe strongly in the Massorah because it's a protecting a wall so to speak of the original manuscripts (languages) and therefore makes it more difficult to mistranslate. Obviously there had to be a reason for the Massorah, because some men, or women would, or could translate the Word incorrectly because let's face it were human. And these translations could of been meant to confuse one intentionally. I'm just being realistic. Oh it could sound better, but some could not getting the full meaning of the Manuscripts and that's my concern, and believe it should be everyone's concern, don't you agree??? Also in the 1611 Version at the beginning of it there is a letter to the reader warning of this very thing I'm speaking of. One should check it out!

Tim, It is so nice to hear from you, but I feel that Your opinion is not worthy unless you can prove it. Even if the massorah was not until the first century, that their are bible translation like the amplified, and the NIV,and so on and so forth that I feel are straying Christians from the true word. Just my opinion. Serenetime | ||||||

Are you familiar with the Massorah? And do you think there's a need for it? I feel it's VERY important. The Massorah is what it's called a fencing of the original manuscripts so as to man not changing or interpreting the word differently than what was originally written. Serenetime | ||||||
