Oh. That's interesting. I wonder what that would be? How would one be living in a manner that makes them appear evil? There are so many many things that can come to mind. So many many things that can make someone appear to be evil to someone else.  When they are not evil at all.  I am very open and accepting of anyone regardless of what they may look like, so I can't just look at someone and say "well they appear evil".  So I don't really get this "appearance of evil stuff".  So Anyway, If you could? I will welcome your input on what kind of things would make a person appear to be evil. I find it interesting to understand how other people think. 

Did you even read what I wrote?    The Greek word, "poneron" is a word that speaks to wickedness, corruption, immorality, lawlessness. 

This not a word that speaks to something that is totally arbitrary.  It speaks to what anyone can understand as "evil."

... Language and how we speak changes over time. The meanings and such. So it maybe that the KJV was right at the time it was written for. But not so much now.  

re Prager U, "Thou shalt not kill" meant not to commit murder.

So, what is wicked, corrupt, immoral, or lawless about riding in car alone with a member of the opposite gender that is not your spouse or close family member?

So, what is wicked, corrupt, immoral, or lawless about eating a meal alone with a member of the opposite gender that is not your spouse or close family member?

Yes I read what you wrote. I really did not think my reply to this post was going to cause such an upset. Really I simply agreed with the Gator with what he said then I added a few lines of my own to say that the KJV may not be wrong. Just outdated in its wording of some things. Now here we are having this debate about something I am not even sure what. Over a post that took me less then 10 minutes to write. :confused:

Yes. That is my understanding of what it means. As there is a lot of killing going on in the Bible. But murder is something else.

 Is there a particular reason why I Thess 5:22 can be taken out of its context?  It potentially appears to be a continuation of at least the previous phrase and possibly a continuation of the previous couple of phrases.  As far as I can tell, the translators of various version do not agree on what goes with what.  Below my comments, I've included some examples from English, Spanish, and German showing various punctuations that place this verse with other verses and by itself.   The bottom line is that there is no general agreement on how these various verses fit together with each other.  It seems like pretty much every combination of 19,20,21, and 22 being together or apart appears in one translation or another.

Also, the Greek word εἶδος also appears in Luke 3:22, Luke 9:29, John 5:37, II Cor 5:7, and I Thess 5:22.  The BDAG Lexicon summarizes its main meaning as this: "the shape and structure of something as it appears to someone".

 

19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21 but test them all; hold on to what is good, 22 reject every kind of evil. (I Thess 5:19-22 NIV)

19 Quench not the Spirit.  20 Despise not prophesyings.  21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.  22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.  (I Thess 5:19-22 KJV)

19 Do not quench the Spirit;20 do not despise prophetic utterances. 21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil. (I Thess 5:19-22 NASB)

19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil. (I Thess 5:19-22 ESV)

19 No apaguen el Espíritu, 20 no desprecien las profecías, 21 sométanlo todo a prueba, aférrense a lo bueno, 22 eviten toda clase de mal.(I Thess 5:19-22 NVI)

19 No apaguéis el Espíritu. 20 No menospreciéis las profecías. 21 Examinadlo todo; retened lo bueno. 22 Apartaos de toda especie de mal. (I Thess 5:19-22 RVA)

19 Den Geist dämpfet nicht, 20 die Weissagung verachtet nicht; 21 prüfet aber alles, und das Gute behaltet. 22 Meidet allen bösen Schein.  (I These 5:19-22 1545 Luther Bible)

19 Den Geist dämpft nicht! 20 Die Weissagung verachtet nicht! 21 Prüft alles, das Gute behaltet! 22 Haltet euch fern von dem Bösen in jeglicher Gestalt! (I Thess 5:19-22 Schlachter 2000)

I've just looked up 'eidos' in a Greek Lexicon (Arndt & Gingrich).

It is a word with more than one meaning. It can mean 'form' or 'outward appearance'. It can also mean 'kind'. It can also mean 'seeing' or 'sight' (as in II Corinthians 5:7)

So both translations are correct!

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
