Is YOUR church doctrinal statement ONE with SATAN?

One of the truest posts of this thread. Bravo!

I think it's time for a modern, dynamic bible version so this verse reflects the current market volatility of bitcoin.

The word Easter was used as the Christian Passover. Christ is our Passover Lamb. It is a how we observe the Passover Lamb as believers. We do not celebrate the Old Testament Passover. We are not Jews. Though some on here think we are, not you. The word Easter does not and never has referred to some goddess.

Do you think the lesson of that story is for us to know how much two sparrows cost?

Maybe so, we’ll both find out shortly.

I do think it’s very important but the price of sparrows isn’t the message.

My faith is in Jesus not some arbitrary translation.

either it's very important or the particular words are not important 'because it's not the point of the narrative'

if it's very important what makes a foreign currency that didn't appear until 1,200 years later in history and no longer is used anywhere more perfect than the actual word in the scripture = "assarion" ?

The word, as the KJV defines, represents a days wage.

Btw brother, I have my one year PET scans this Thursday. Scans always make me nervous. I would appreciate your prayers. Thanks.

This is a good one from the king Jimmy version. In Ezekiel, neither shall they shave their head nor suffer their locks to grow long, but they shall poll their head.
Poll their head? How do you count votes from your head and how does that apply to your hair length?
I guess you ask your hair to vote only how long is long? But my hair don't talk or write ...

please go back to that thread i linked. Eos-tare is a medieval replacement for Pascha, not a translation. Jerusalem was not experiencing the regular influx of thousands of Jews to worship Ishtar in Acts 12 any more than Christians were. if Christians were coming to Jerusalem it was because they were associating the resurrection of the Lamb of God with Pascha, not with a Teutonic vernal festival. there are pages and pages of manuscript evidence tracing the earliest adulteration of the text in that thread. it originated in high German translations, through that tradition found its way into some early Bibles, and king James's employees simply followed what had become tradition over half a century.

Christ is not the dawn lamb. He is our Paschal Lamb; salvation is of the Jews not the pagans & the kjv is clearly not 'perfect' by taking Pascha out to put Astarte in -- however anyone may not personally associate the word with its origin it is not 'better' to delete the direct association with the Exodus that God intended to be written there.

i love scans of any kind. the technology is neat, and the concept of mapping through recording waves - essentially forms of light that the eye doesn't detect - is really cool!

i am up very early in the mornings. while you are still sleeping thursday, i will be praying for you

so does assarion. my argument is that assarion is better because

1. it's the actual word
2. if a word should be substituted then
   1. it should be continually updated to be specifically culturally relevant, so farthing is out
   2. it should be substituted with something like you suggest "an average days wage for a certain class of laborer"

as far as i can reason the only arguments a person can make for the "perfection" of farthing being in the text are self-defeating. if it's perfect because it had a specific connotation to a specific people in a specific land in a specific time period, well that's not true for a lot of other people in other places at other times who speak the same umbrella-language "English" so it's not perfect for them.

it's significant that this is a Roman currency, wouldn't you agree?

it's not a shekel or a drachma. it's an assarion. does that not mean anything?
if it means anything at all then KJV is sub-optimal.

what does it mean that He's saying sparrows are bought with Ceaser's coins? if i want to change "Rome" to "England" in the Bible, what is the argument that i should not do that?

It’s like filling water pots of STONE with TWO OR THREE firkins of WATER. The firkins part of that verse has no meaning as far as I know but the message is in “the two or three”, the stone and water. The two or three of course representing the three languages the Bible is written in.

In the two sparrows being sold for a farthing, the message is in the TWO and the Farthing. The farthing is the price that has to be paid in order for the TWO to bet set free from the prison. And it really doesn’t matter what denominations are used as long as the denominations are the same in both verses that use farthing in the KJV.

The only thing that exceeds your closed-mindedness is your arrogance.

It might be enough to convince someone who is already convinced, but otherwise, it isn't.

Which is the correct term in John 3:3 and 7? "Born againe" or "born from above"? Even the KJV translators weren't sure.

And since they weren't sure, you can't be either.
