Misquoting Jesus

by SickofLies in

book review: the popular perception of the bible as a divinely perfect book receives scant support from ehrman, who sees in holy writ ample evidence of human fallibility and ecclesiastical politics.

though himself schooled in evangelical literalism, ehrman has come to regard his earlier faith in the inerrant inspiration of the bible as misguided, given that the original texts have disappeared and that the extant texts available do not agree with one another.

most of the textual discrepancies, ehrman acknowledges, matter little, but some do profoundly affect religious doctrine.

Mar 5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. Jhn 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep [market] a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.

Act 21:40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto [them] in the Hebrew tongue, saying,

Act 22:2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they kept the more silence: and he saith,)

Act 26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? [it is] hard for thee to kick against the pricks.

Rev 9:11 And they had a king over them, [which is] the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue [is] Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath [his] name Apollyon.

Rev 16:16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. Either Jehovah speaks to you or He does not. If He does not you will die in your sins. Blessings and peace, Debar

"Assuming you go with the NWT that is, which is probably the worst translation out there. I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree with your analysis"

What do you disagree with in my anaylsis? Who mentioned NWT? And why are you so angry?

Isn't it possible that Jehovah did just this "safe guarded is orginal Word in the scriptures thru the original languages"? Have you ever been in the vatican basement and studied the original scriptures or are you just madder than all get out at something or somebody else and have used God's Word as your target?

Do you have faith in God as being true but every man a liar?

Blessings anyhow,

Blind and Crippled not allowed

by peacefulpete in

a very strange story in 2 sam 5 about david's capture of jerusalem.. 6(k)now the king and his men went to (l)jerusalem against the jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, and they said to david, "you shall not come in here, but the blind and lame will turn you away"; thinking, "david cannot enter here.

7nevertheless, david captured the stronghold of zion, that is (m)the city of david.

8david said on that day, "whoever would strike the jebusites, let him reach the lame and the blind, who are hated by david's soul, through the water tunnel.

Mar 10:49

And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying unto him, Be of good comfort, rise; he calleth thee.

Once He calls us we can take comfort because He is going to heal our blindness...that is if we are truly seeking Jehovah. I believe the same holds true regarding the deaf, the lame, those with a blemish, etc.

We will all be made perfect in the Kingdom. It is now that is our concern. Right?

Slessings,

Jehovah did safe guard His Word. The original languages are still intact and available thru good dictionaries. God allowed the pearl to be hidden deep in the field so that only those who truly seek the truth will find it.

Pro 25:2

[It is] the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings [is] to search out a matter.

Those who truly seek shall find it is the promise of Jehovah. Only the carnal man can stumble over the superficial intrepretation of scripture. One must study to show themselves approved.

David was on the campaign toward Jerusalem. Jerusalem represents the Kingdom. The spiritually blind and those stilll lame...that is those who do not have their soul and Spirit aligned cannot enter the Kingdoom. David represents the warring Messiah. Where does he make war? within us. Until our warfare is completed we have not been healed...Spiritually.

Jebusites means the threshing floor. Jehovah separates the wheat from the chaff here.

Always Jesus healed the blind and the lame. We too must be healed of our Spiritual blindness and we must walk "the walk" in order to enter into the Kingdom.

Blessings and peace,

Can someone explain Mosaic Law please??

by Super_Becka in

ok, so maybe i should've asked this a long time ago, but i'm a little slow sometimes.

my apologies for being uneducated in this particular area.

hey, i'm still learning, that's why i'm here.. i've seen a lot of references to mosaic law here on the board, but i'm a little unclear as to what it is, what it says, what it means, and who it applies to.

Debar

The Mosaic law was given to the people of Isreal by Jehovah. It is not to be made fun of or belittled. It is to be realized in our Spiritual lives. It is a picture of what we are to become. We will not kill, we will not lie, we will love Jehovah with all of our heart and soul and min

Apart from the 10 sayings there are many other laws of conduct but each of them has a Spiritual meaning. The human being cannot understand the true meaning of the Law unless Jehovah grants them the favor of understanding. All Scripture is profitable and is not to be disdained nor dismissed. It is not a matter of scholarship but a matter of a true heart toward Jehovah.

Blessings and peace,

Debar
