Some of us have enough trouble with English to even think about trying to learn Greek or Hebrew, lol! God IS NOT, I repeat, IS NOT going to turn us away from eternity with Him simply because we didn't know the Greek.

Pointer, from what I understand the OT was translated into Greek for those Jewish folks who couldn't read Hebrew. Why didn't God command them to relearn Hebrew? I'm proud of you that you have taken the time to learn the original languages; I think that's great and if I had time, I might be so inclined. However, you keep coming off with this judgemental attitude against those who have not a desire to learn another language and it's getting really old; as a matter of fact, I am quite sick of it. :24: You find chapter and verse for me in the Bible that says I must learn the original languages and I'll shake your hand! :24: Until then, suppose you step off of your legalistic high horse!

Quite so! But people nevertheless recommend the 'KJ'V as being the Bible to read. I asked a leader of a well-known international mission to youth whether the mission used the 'KJ'V, and the (fully expected) reply was, "Only if we want to put them off Christianity for life." That seems to be the aim of the KJVOers, as they cannot provide a truthful and intelligent case for their stance.

That applies to absolutely no-one here, though.

I'm in no doubt that He did, just as He is doing it to people right now.

(The LXX is full of errors, and Scriptural Hebrew is untranslatable, anyway. Anyone who reads a mere translation of the OT is deluding themselves if they think they have got very close to God's Word to them.)

if I had time, I might be so inclined.

You have the money, you have the time, you have more than enough skill. Just get your credit card, google, and you're done. You can be correcting people in no time. :24:

Wow, Pointer, you're piece of work, Hon. I can't tell if you are confident or arrogant. You're not altogether wrong, but your people skills slurp. lol

It may be that one or two people here cannot afford a few tens of dollars for an interlinear and lexicon, in which case I apologise to them, but the great majority of church-goers in the USA could quite easily buy those items as hard copies, or a basic Bible study CD-ROM with Greek, and many could buy the best, several times over!

I'm not usually the type to go too personal, but what credit card? The only credit card I own is a JC Penney card and that's because I work there. I, however, will be paying it off ASAP and getting rid of it.

I have the money and the time, eh? Buddy, by the time I feed and clothe 3 kids, buy gas for my car, a car with 331,000 miles on it, buy groceries and household supplies, and pay bills, I'm lucky to have much left at all!

Also, what happened to love? You tell me that I "can be correcting people in no time." You're not posting in love in saying that, and it also makes you appear to be a snoot that alone has the handle on what the truth is. Umhum! Get off of your high horse before God brings you down!

Are you trying to float some silly notion that if I have only my KJV of Holy Writ in all of its archaic glory; and if I am not learned enough to distinguish between Koin

    • 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.”

    • 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.
