Valis-
I just got an old digital camera for next to nothing. Soon as I figure it out, I'll put "my pic" instead of the fish-symbol just like you have yours...(LoL, just kidding).
"Laz-R-us-Noob?" and "Prodigal-Noob?" do have an appeal. But for me it's a lot easier just to remember my real name.
Btw, does anyone have any links on: "How To Post (at JWDF)?" You know, stuff like "quoting" ppl, using HTML and so on. (I've had problems posting here in the past and recently). Btw, I'm on dial-up (56K) and have windows 98....
NEwayz, c yall.
in defense of its fundamentalist approach to the bible and especially its belief that the bible is the word of god and inerrent, the wts frequently quotes from 2 timothy 3:16: "all scripture is inspired of god and beneficial for teaching, for reproving, for setting things straight, for disciplining in righteousness".
we must've heard this scripture thousands of times as witnesses.
the words from eldad and modad quoted in hermas, vis.
Ooops.
Please accept my apologies on the above post. Unfortuantely, I seem to be having browser and/or posting-problems @ JWDF---again. Last nite I had a "lock up" and didn't know that any of my post came thru till just now.
I'll make an attempt to edit the post later....

I wonder if the adultery analogy in James works in this way: (1) God bestows his Spirit on those who are faithful to him but (2) withdraws his Spirit from those who are unfaithful.
Me too.
Genesis 6 (NASB):
1 Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,
2 that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.
3 Then the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty years."
in any event, i was wondering if any you have gotten or plan to get: .
1 enoch, by george nickelsbug and james vanderkam.
i'm gonna get it as soon as i get a job (but nevemind all that).... .
PSS, a while later-
"Perhaps we could start a thread just for listing links (to study aids, etc.)?"
I don't know about all that. I'm only now finding old links & study-stuff (that I lost in my old/dead hard drive).
Btw, as a side note; I borrowed Charlesworth's OT Pseudepigrapha, Vol. 1 from my library tonite (as well as) James: A Hermeneia Commentary, by Martin Dibilius (revised by Heinrich Greeven).
If I only had a bit more time....

Leolaia-
(from the above link to the new translation):
"Created in conjunction with an exhaustive critical commentary, this is the only English translation of 1 Enoch that takes into consideration all of the textual data now available in the Ethiopic version, the Greek texts, and the Dead Sea Aramaic fragments. Since only the first of two Hermeneia commentary volumes is now available, this book provides an indispensable translation of the whole work."
So it's the whole book (including the Similitudes). I tried to find it @ amazon but couldn't. (I wanted to "preview" some pages...to see if it was interlinear/ footnotes or what have you). I'm gonna have to guess it will be in English and have footnotes.
Soon as I get a job (but nevermind that) I'm gonna buy this book!
PS-
From the NTGateway link (above) I've liked John Hurt's HTML Bible. Other than that, check out Bible.org (then go to NET.Bible).

gotta go!

Thanx again Simon for "re-signing me up."
(See I used to be a Noob and was "ikthuce4u")...but I didn't post much because:
My hard drive died. Then I got a new one a couple months later. Several months after that I became re-interested in studying the Bible and/or theological stuff = (Why I came back).
The Warm Welcomes are rilly nice, folks.
I feel resurrected!!! (or something like that).
A Rez-Noob maybe???
:P

Oh yeah. You were wondering how this new translation will differ from, I'm assuming, both Charlesworth's and Nickelburg's (1 Enoch chs. 1-36; 81-108). Since the chapters Nickelsburg translates in the commentary are (just) his own; I'm going to have to guess that his teaming up with VanderKam will have to be "better" and up to date on the latest research. (I need to get Charlesworth too...'think my library may have it up for rent)...I'll post back here as soon as I get The New Translation.

Leolaia-
Thanx for the warm welcome though I used to be here (some as "ikthuce4u"). Last time I posted I mentioned that I had just gotten Margaret Barker's The Great Angel: Israel's Second God (which came with a "stack" of about 8 other books I ordered at once)---the Nickelsburg commentary being one of them---I paid about $58 for that one, btw. I don't have Charlesworth's OT Pseudepigrphal stuff and have been relying mostly on online versions (Charles and Laurence). I do have The Other Bible which has parts of 1 Enoch. Ummmm, I've never enjoyed reading in the bathroom; to me the seat's not comfy enuf....(LoL). Whatever, huh?
And yes, I saw your "James" thread and may have some things to add (and/or ask). I'm self-taught in Greek but am not especialy good with English (grammar); makes things kinda tough at times. I can sorta "wing it" with the Greek. But not knowing much Hebrew at all can be quite frustrating. But that's another subject (Doh!).
In any event, I look forward to posting with you and everyone else here @ jwdf. I've tipped-off a few folks on the excellent stuff y'all go into (mostly some ppl I know from Beliefnet). NEwayz, thanx again & cya around!

Hello. I used to be "ikthuce4u" but had to be off-line for a while. In any event, I was wondering if any you have gotten or plan to get:

Btw, I've had Nickelsburg's 1 Enoch Commentary, (Volume One), from the Hermeneia Series since last Spring but haven't even unwrapped it! I'm not really a "procrastinator'...I just don't get in any big hurry.
