    Biblical proof of Mary's virginity

    I should add that each contains material that was in the first place put personally into that oral tradition by the author of the gospel in question, e.g., Luke 1:5 to the end of Chapter 2.

    Biblical proof of Mary's virginity

    No they're not. As indicated by Luke in his prologue, they are independent written extracts from the same oral tradition (learnt by rote).

    Biblical proof of Mary's virginity

    Chrétien de Troyes, post: 73109562, member: 412151: "The argument is that the term bridegroom is never applied to Joseph" - What kind of argument can that be, when the term bridegroom is also never applied to any man in any of the churches to which the epistles of Peter and Paul were addressed...

    Biblical proof of Mary's virginity

    Indeed! How dare anyone even SUGGEST that the marriages of Abra(ha)m, Isaac, Rachel, Manoah, and Zacharias were IN ANY WAY hebrew!

    Biblical proof of Mary's virginity

    12 Years after the birth of Jesus they would have been young enough so to take the attention of Joseph and Mary that they could start off for home assuming He was with other members of the party. Had they not had other children to attend to, they might have been more assiduous about keeping Him...

    of the argument for what? that Joseph and Mary were not married? or that Origen was the greatest exegete? or what?

    Biblical proof of Mary's virginity

    Bcbsr seems to be practically there, but he didn't point out that 1. νυμφίος only means "Bridegroom" and is never used of a husband except in the context of the marriage feast. 2. νυμφίος is never used in any New Testament Epistle, only ἀνὴρ So according to Chrétien de Troyes's premises, NONE...

    He's only thinking of divorcing her, not sending her to hell!

    Thinking of Divorcing my Wife

    What DO you mean by fornication? If it's she slept with someone else before she married you, it's a bit late now to put her away. But if you mean she is engaged in sexual relations outside marriage which are against nature, but aren't adultery because the co-respondent isn't another man, then...

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    Ho Kyrie is Greek, YHWH is Hebrew. Neither is wrong. Each is right in the language in which each is used. Translators into other languages have the choice of transliterating the inspired Hebrew and transliterating or translating the inspired Greek (The Hebrew cannot be translated with any degree...

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    The answer you get depends on whether you have ticked the "Ancient Greek" checkbox. Koine Greek is more like the Attic dialect of Ancient Greek than like modern Greek.

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    pascha is a transliteration of the Hebrew Pesach. It's nothing to do with the pagan feast of Ishtar.

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    You mean the divinely inspired Greek is wrong?

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    Good try, but the Greek says "pascha", not "estar".

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    Tyndale used "Easter" in his New Testament translation because he had not yet invented the word "Passover". Had he lived to revise his New Testament, he would doubtless have substituted "Passover". That is what the KJV translators wanted to do, but King James insisted that the word "Easter" had...

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    As much evidence for it as there is for Yahweh. My analysis of the Divine Name would suggest YahWah or YahaWah (Hayah followed by Hawah, each with the initial "Ha" deleted, as though it were a causative prefix, so that YHWH is the one that exists without having been caused to exist). But who knows?

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    except that the divinely inspired translation of YHWH into Greek is ho Kyrie, or The LORD. This is demonstrated in the quotations from the Old Testament that we find in the New.

    What errors do you think exist within the KJV?

    It's exactly the same with Luke 17:21. "within you" is clearer as "in the midst of you" or "among you". Strictly speaking, "within them" or "within you" (plural), is, if "them" or "you" is taken to mean "them" or "you" as a collection, not erroneous, but as the natural way of understanding it is...

    Can satan make war while bound in the pit?

    Yes he can. The word translated "nations" here is "ethne", which can also be translated "gentiles". Generally, when the nations including Israel are meant, the Scripture uses the phrase "All Nations", whereas here the phrase "ta ethne", "the nations" is used, and this phrase generally denotes...
