Has anyone found secret messages in the bible?

In fact, in quoting this, you refuted your own idiotic argument.

In other words, these "mysteries" were not revealed to Muslims, atheists, or any of the other groups of people that you have been going on about. Instead, they were revealed to those who already had.

Hit the road.

As @FRB72 said - there is additional depth to the bible, whether you like it or not. You can choose to stay ignorant and use corrupted translations or you could continue to search for the truth.

https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=occult

occult (adj.)

1530s, "secret, not divulged," from French occulte and directly from Latin occultus "hidden, concealed, secret," past participle of occulere "cover over, conceal," from assimilated form of ob "over" (see ob-) + a verb related to celare "to hide" (from PIE root *kel- (1) "to cover, conceal, save"). Meaning "not apprehended by the mind, beyond the range of understanding" is from 1540s. The association with the supernatural sciences (magic, alchemy, astrology, etc.) dates from 1630s. A verb occult "to keep secret, conceal" (c.1500, from Latin occultare) is obsolete.

That doesn't refute anything. You think Muslims don't understand these parables?

Do you dispute the additional depth in numeric examples like the 153 fish? Is it possible that Satan merely attempts to mimic God’s perfection in his obsession with occult gematria, astrology and angel numbers?

The only one ignorant is you.

For starters, I use the KJV, but, contrary to your claims, it is not a perfect translation.

Anyhow, continue to puff yourself up here as some great one who has come to reveal to us all what we have been missing our entire lives.

In reality, we have not missed snake oil salesmen.

Instead, we have wisely avoided them.

What does that have to do with anything we are discussing here? Where do you see the supernatural? We are looking at words in the bible, you are completely ignorant if you think that's "occult".

What's ignorant is making a claim without proof. Name one mistake in KJV.

I could name dozens of mistakes.

Here are two obvious ones:

Acts 7:45

"Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David;"

Hebrews 4:8

"For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day."

In both of these instances, the proper translation is "Joshua", and not "Jesus."

First of all it's Yeshua, not Joshua, and Jesus is Latin for Yeshua. Next.

Nice try, clown.

First of all, the New Testament was written in Greek, and not in Latin.

Second of all, Jesus' and Joshua's names are the same in the Greek, and context determines what the proper translation is.

In both instances that I cited, the context demands "Joshua" as the proper translation.

The KJV translators got it wrong.

Period.

You are a rude and immature, I would refer you to the following verses before we proceed...

Matthew 5:22 - But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Hebrews 10:19 - And now we are brothers and sisters in God's family because of the blood of Jesus, and he welcomes us to come into the most holy sanctuary in the heavenly realm—boldly and without hesitation.



I'm aware New Testament is written in Greek, but KJV is written in English, and Yeshua the messiah is Jesus in English, so that translation is correct.

There is not a single English translation that uses Joshua, so you're basically declaring all English language bibles to be wrong.

Oh, really?

Here are the two verses that I cited in other English translations:

Acts 7:45

Are you finished displaying your ignorance here, or would you like to continue?

That's a completely different person. They are both called Jeshua in Hebrew, but one is Jesus the messiah, and the other is one of the old testament prophets. Both names are interchangeable.

You are either missing or skirting the point.

The context of both verses that I cited demands Joshua, and not Jesus, as the proper translation.

The KJV translators got it wrong.

just because gnosticism was present in the Eastern Roman empire does not make all copies of scripture from the Eastern churches 'gnostic' or 'gnostic influenced'

gnosticism was universally condemned by the church since the time. of the apostles.

My understanding is that Yoshua is spelled differently than Yeshua, but the written Hebrew leaves the vowels out of words, so that they are understood by context.

Clearly in the context of Hebrews 4 it is speaking of Joshua, not Jesus.
so to me it is an obvious error in the kjv

If your argument is that Joshua is correctly spelled Jesus in English, then the kjv gets it wrong ubiquitously in the OT... but weirdly only gets it right once ever, in Hebrews...
so that's not really a good argument at all bro. your rebuttal makes the kjv even worse than what @seekingthemindofChrist showed us - with an hundred errors on that name instead of one.

I don't know how to put it any more clearly for you... it's not Joshua, it's Yeshua. Jesus means Yeshua. Joshua also means Yeshua. IT'S THE SAME NAME. When translating old testament, which came before Jesus Christ, KJV used Joshua. When translating new testament, which came after Jesus Christ, they used the name Jesus. Sure it would have been better if they made it easier to understand, but that doesn't make it incorrect. Both names mean the same, both are interchangeable.

If Yoshua is supposed to be Jesus in trandliteration to English not Joshua, then the kjv got it wrong 100 times and only got it right once.

Don't know how to make that more clear.

Not understanding the argument for why it's "OK to mistranslate the OT but not the NT"???

i mean aren't you saying effectively that the book after Deuteronomy is supposed to be called "Jesus"?

How come NOBODY EVER got that right?
