Subject: [TruthTalk] TOE revisited
"Linguistic??... would this be acceptable with
you?"
No it is not! You know
neither Hebrew or Greek, therefore you are unprepaired to make an
authoritative comment or response. Lets use the words we have
been given in scripture! That would mean Hebrew and Greek!
Everything else is translation and interpretation. Which brings us to the root of the problem; divisive people bent on having
the last and ONLY word. The,"Everyone else can go squat, because they
are wrong" mentality. (how
loving Jeff). What a
sickening and disturbing way to be. We must strive over
the ENGLISH words of our translations to get to the true meaning...
"The servant of the Lord must not strive but be patient with all men, apt to
teach"
thats what we are told by Rav Sha'ul in his epistle to
Timothy,"Study to show yourself approved..." CONTEXT,CONTEXT,
CONTEXT, without putting a 21st century spin, or personal agenda on
everything.
Is this the same Rav Shau'l who became all things to all men so that he might win
some of them?
And yes I have an agenda, to understand scripture in
the context in which it was written, from the
Hebraic mindset scripture was written in. Like it or not, when you
remove the Hebraic background from scripture, you get the muddy field we now
struggle to get through. And most of the divisive
mud-slinging with which we (most of us here) are forced to sift through
in order to gain a few pearls here and there.
Scripture was written with a Holy Ghost
mindset Jeff, sorry about that - sorry to burst the bubble but Jesus
created the Gentiles also, being Hebrew gives you no monopoly and never
did. Righteousness is what
exalts a nation - sin is a reproach to any people. And how are you
so blind to your own mud slinging right here in this
message?
I do belive I've made my point! Judy is
right and everyone else is wrong. Nuff Said!
We will never (this side of Heaven) come to a full
agreement on many issues here, but must we be plagued
with self-righteous blather that causes nothing but
division? Jeff
If I were you I would cease and desist
Jeff (take those thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ) because in
Christ there is no male, female, Hebrew, Greek, bond, or free.
Sectarian spirits are the ones who
cause division every time.
Life makes warriors of us all.
To emerge the
victors, we must arm
ourselves with the most potent of weapons.
That
weapon is prayer.
--Rebbe Nachman of Breslov

Thus endeth the lesson ('til you engage in some
linguistic homework)
jt: Linguistic?? I don't see the
problem as being one of language. In fact, we are warned against striving
over words in scripture
Why can't we agree to use the
words we have been given in scripture and pray to God for
understanding. Would this be
acceptable
with you?
