Well, we are waiting for you to hand in your test or at least admit that you do not know Greek to get an “A” for the course. Even if you failed Ezekiel3’s “Hebrew and Greek Quiz and Test given here before, you will have passed this course if you get an “A” on this Final Exam.
Ray, don’t you want to study the Word?
On your first point, lets just say that we disagree on the understanding there. Let God be true, and EVERY man a liar.
(John 6:63) “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.”
On your second point, can you expound on that a little more? Can you tell me of the relevance of the originals if I have the pure and preserved Word today? Maybe I am misunderstanding you here though.
Quote; “Did Jesus have an “original” when he walked the earth as the God-man?
As it is written; Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
(John 1:1-2) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. {2} The same was in the beginning with God.”
When I said originals, I am referring to a scroll written on with ink and you know it.
Quote; “Can you read the “old Latin”? Can you be sure of what “old Latin” says?”
Answer; No, not at all, but the relevance is that its not important that I do.
Yes it is relevant to you and the original crowd. But how, you cannot even read latin.
Quote; “Can you read the “old Latin”? Can you be sure of what “old Latin” says?”
Answer; No, not at all, but the relevance is that its not important that I do.
The Word died on the cross in those languages, and we have the resurrected Word with us here and now. This is what I am asking your thoughts on. Its interesting that it supports the position of the KJV only if you think about it.
Quote; “Can you lay your hands on an original in any language?”
Answer; No, of coarse not. I think we both understand that.
Quote; “Did Jesus have an “original” when he walked the earth as the God-man?
As it is written; Jesus is the Word from the beginning.
(John 1:1-2) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. {2} The same was in the beginning with God.”
Quote; “What has read more the “old Latin or the English AV1611. Do you know anyone who has been saved or any church that has been built using the “old Latin” or any other original scroll? Just asking, are you thinking?”
Answer; No, I really just don’t have an answer for those questions. I don’t know.
You need to answer the Final Exam to get a grade. Translate it or admit you do not know the Greek and other “orginals” you are so fond of defending.
Can you read the “old Latin”? Can you be sure of what “old Latin” says? Can you lay your hands on an original in any language? Did Jesus have an “original” when he walked the earth as the God-man? What has read more the “old Latin or the English AV1611. Do you know anyone who has been saved or any church that has been built using the “old Latin” or any other original scroll? Just asking, are you thinking?
In all honesty, I can understand your caution. I also can appreciate you tipping your toe into the water with me.
The old testament was primarily written in Hebrew. Yes, even the bible agrees.
We will discuss the Aramaic though.
The new testament was written in Greek. Again, the scriptures agree.
But have you ever heard of “Old Latin”?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Latin
You should know me by now,
(Romans 3:4) “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”
You did lose me in all that as well.
As to your Point #1. Please do a fact check. Were the originals really written in Greek and Latin. Do a fact check and get back to me. Thanks.
Me thinks you are nuts!
Here is a thought Ray, that I have been pondering. Let me hear your thoughts on the matter.
Point 1: The original texts were written in three languages, Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.
Point 2: Now we know that the scriptures say;
(John 1:1) “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
(1 John 5:7) “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.”
This is not a debate or a setup. I simply want you to consider and and tell me your thoughts on this matter.
When Jesus (the Word) was put on the cross, have you considered the significance of what was written above Him?
Luke 23:38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
John 19:20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.
Is this possibly a parable about why we do not have the original manuscripts today? Is it that the Word (written in three languages) was crucified for our sins and resurrected as ONE?
In fact look at how this next verse says “for to make in himself of twain one new man”. Two Testaments = ONE Bible.
Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Or,
Ephesians 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Colossians 3:10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
And if you remember what His image is;
2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
These are HONEST questions !!!!! I am asking for your HONEST input.
Ray, this just another charade you are using to try and upset the applecart. These new versions such as the great NIV and the NASB are changed, issued, changed again and reissued because it not only is easier to understand but they also lower the standard of sinlessness. We as a christian community now have been able to bring in the gay and lesbians into our churches and our goverment and our busnesses and homes and have professed them to be righeous. Next we will accept the pedipheliacs. Step one will be to accept them into our church calling it a mental illness which we must be there for to show the love of God toward the the offender who now will be accepted as the victim of his own urges. We WILL show Gods love and acceptance of this sufferage. Then after that and after a few bible changes we will accept this as natural and the way God made them. This natural affection God endulged them with will finally be accepted as normal and maybe, we will see passed this Final Authority you keep touting in your 1611. Maybe we will get passed your idea of God.
