What was the writer of Hebrews quoting, since it was not the Hebrew? The writer to the Hebrews in Heb 1:6 quotes from Deut. 32:43 and writes the words: "And let all the angels of God worship him." "And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the...

Are you denying that the LXX exists, or that Jesus and the Apostles quoted it in our NT?

I've been reading about the NRSV Udated Edition to see what was done to the very good NRSV. The review link is: https://baptistnews.com/article/after-30-years-the-nrsv-gets-an-update-heres-what-that-means/ The article writes the following paragraph: "While the project’s organizers cite many...

Not being scholars in the Hebrew and Greek, most of us have to use the language helps. They are quite effective when coming up against the self-proclaimed scholars on the Internet, who no one knows their actual qualifications. Who is the true scholar? It is those who have written the lexicons...

Where did you get that there is any Aramaic in the book of Isaiah? I find that nowhere in reference books I have. As to using a translation that is not in the same language as the original, remember Jesus and the Apostles mainly used and quoted from the LXX, the Septuagint, a Greek translation...

Very true! "You study the scriptures diligently, supposing that in having them you have eternal life; their testimony points to me, yet you refuse to come to me to receive that life." (John 5:39-40, REB)

Some people have a quick wit and humor that sometimes they regret later. My BIG problem is my sharp and impatient tongue and I've struggled for years with that very verse I quoted. I've never been called "refined" before. LOL

The word "brass" is found in the NRSV only once and in the REB four times. The NRSV and REB use "bronze" in most places, but in Deut. 8:9 where it refers to the metal dug out of the earth, the NRSV and REB use "copper". On why the KJV translators used "brass" when they knew something about...

You assume incorrectly, very much so. I use the KJV primarily because almost all my language help tools are keyed to the KJV and the Strong's numbering system. I use the RV a lot for study, modern versions I prefer the RSV/NRSV and the NEB/REB and quote them often, but I have about 20...

A critic of the KJV points to Deut. 8:9 as an error for its translation of "brass" since it is an alloy that is not dug out of the ground, and it is a difficult point to answer. I'm using the KJV here, but any translation can be criticized in like manner in various verses. Brass, from the...

Your first sentence brought the following verse to mind: "Entirely out of place is obscene, silly, and vulgar talk; but instead, let there be thanksgiving." (Eph 5:4, NRSV) or from another version "No coarse, stupid, or flippant talk: these things are out of place; you should rather be...

In my first reply on this thread I expressed a bit of dark hyperbole about how the leftists and Communists types can abort all their unborn for that means fewer of their type in the future. At my age I rarely do frequent revising of my articles of belief, but this topic caused me to do a...

In post-millennialist thought it is recognized that there are periods in history of declension in Church and State, 3 steps forward, one step back, over and over. The last 100 years or so have seen a great deterioration in Church and State, gradually over time, and it has been brought about by...

Since this question about Dick's support for abortion is in a Bible Discussion Forum, I'll suggest a different take on the topic, from the bible. The LORD of hosts commanded the death of child and infant: "Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did in opposing...

An article in the Oxford Study Bible - REB reads: "Although people taught to read English can easily read this Revised English Bible, if they were to do so as though it were a modern English text coming out of contemporary social experience, they would be seriously mis-reading the ancient...

I believe that chapters 1-3 are introduction and letters to the churches, then existing. Chapters 4-11 I believe prophecy the destruction of the temple and the end of the Jewish state. Chapters 12-19 are the fall of Rome. I see in chapter 20 the millennium, which I believe exists now and the...

Runningman, as I've stated several times, I consider historic pre-mil, a-mil and post-mil views that genuine and sincere Christians have held down through the years, so I do not fall out with anyone on these views. My concern is with the modernistic idea of dispensationalism. But as to your...

If you are going to use words of psychology, which did not exist in biblical times, use them correctly. "Sexual orientation describes patterns of sexual, romantic, and emotional attraction—and one's sense of identity based on those attractions. Sexual orientation is distinct from gender...

How does a Pastor shepherd the 1 who silently sits beside the 99 in the pews, who is in that small minority who is only attracted to and loves their own gender? That is how I understood the spirit of the OP. It is about conduct or actions, not about the names one calls this person. The more...

Satan was bound at the 1st advent and it was made sure at the resurrection of Christ? Does that match the beginning of the 1000 years of Revelation 20? How shall I study this out for my own satisfaction? I study as follows. Jesus referring to himself in context as binding Satan states: "Or...
