Bible Note: Amen Mark, And I think thats what the men who translated the original into english did. And, the way you put it, and the very point I was making, Webster does a pretty good job of covering all the bases. So how can we say that we should (not) use webster to define words in the Bible, when the word we are talking about is an english word? And, a word that does a good job, (in english), to get the meaning across. I think its commendable that anyone would study the original, to come to a deeper understanding of scripture, no problem there. But, like you say, and I agree, that we should balance it with a comparison of the two. Like for-instance, I believe that Esau, was looking for Isaac to change his mind, not turn from sin. Heb 12:17 "for he found no place for repentance, though he sought for it with tears." If we read the story, we can see that Easu only wanted Isaac, to change his mind, and give him the blessing that Isaac his father had reserved for him, but Jacob had supplanted. God bless. John |
