Subject: having sex if engaged biblical stance? |
Bible Note: hi doc my point was the translation of a phrase in an old testament passage. The general consensus of the Rabbis may not lead to acceptable doctrine but it is very useful in deciding what Hebrew words mean to people who spoke Hebrew. i could have said in my view and according to my knowledge of Hebrew. but people might then have dismissed it. Jesus did not argue that the Scribes were wrong in their translation of the Hebrew. He said that Moses had spoken of divorce becos of the hardness of men's hearts. In fact both the Scribes and Beja misunderstood the real meaning of Deuteronomy 24. But that did not mean that the Scribes were incorrect in their translation. I agree completely that American dispensationalists who teach what you state are misinterpeting Scripture. I lay no emphasis on what the Rabbis teach, except as showing Jewish opinion. But I do respect their knowledge of Hebrew, even though they may sometimes fail to distinguish between their Hebrew and ancient Hebrew. May i suggest that you read what i actually wrote again |
