I took the time to read through this thread this morning and I am just wondering if anyone posting on it has studied Greek and/or Hebrew.

God is a term used by almost all English speaking religious. It is a universal with various meanings. Writing "G-d" instead of God is a fairly recent custom in Judaism. Many Jews believe it to be a sign of respect based on Deuteronomy 12:3-4. I guess I do it out of respect and desire not to...

I simply wanted to know what you meant by prophetically

Sorry if I was unclear. I understand the verse, I was asking about your use of the word "prophetically". I believe you are referring to the "Son of Man" words of Jesus but I always look to ask. With love, Howard

If you read the verses prior you will see that Luke was speaking about the Jews – Herod’s mistreatment of Christians (12:1), the assassination of James (12:2), the arrest of Peter and the note that these were the passover days of unleavened bread and not one word is mentioned in Acts 12 about...

Hi Psalm911, Will you please clarify for me what you mean by "prophetically". Thanks With love, Howard

I think we can agree that the followers of Jesus would not have been commemorated His crucifixion, death and resurrection until after He was crucified, died, was buried and rose again. You may think that the scholars who translated the KJV were slipshod but I don’t think you believe that the...

Hello again Robycop3, Actually it is from a press release put out by Thomas Nelson. Thomas Nelson is a subsidiary of Harper Collins which is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. A press release is a marketing tool the objective of which is to sell product (in this case books). Perhaps a note...

Dear robycop3, I have some thoughts and questions on your most recent post. That is not accurate. Please look again at the Preface to the NKJ. I posted also what a new translation preface would state when I posted from the preface to the ESV. Please cite your source for this statement...

First see my post on this thread from the Preface to the KJV. Below is an excerpt I kept from an article in The Sunday Times by Arnold Hunt 2011 that shows the debates about language. In The King James Bible: A short history from Tyndale to today, Norton highlights a discussion recorded by John...

It is not a new translation. It is an updated translation which is acknowledged by the 100 so pastors, ministers, etc. who drew up the guidelines for the updating. From the Preface to the New King James Bible In harmony with the purpose of the King James scholars, the translators and editors...

Hi again! Making Synonymical modifications of a text is not translation. The NKJV is an update of the KJV not a new translation. If you feel that the KJV is too archaic to grasp and the NKJV fits your needs better, wonderful. However you may find that the KJV is subtly closer to the original...

Hi robycop3, you are perfectly correct, KJV is only a translation like all other translations. However the KJV is the best translation available to those who are moderately educated with English as their primary language. The KJV best presents the English rendering of words and teachings of...

Hi straykat and Yeshua HaDerekh, We seem to be talking past each other. I am not questioning the Hebrew words posted by Yeshua HaDerekh, I am questioning what they have to do with the grammar and syntax of Exodus 3:14. In my reading of the Holy Scriptures the only time the Creator tells...

I don't want to be rude, but I don't think you have a good enough grasp of Hebrew to answer my questions. With love, Howard

I don't understand what you are talking about so I ask you to please give me the citation (chapter and verse or page number of the writings you base your posts on) and to parse each of the three Hebrew terms you quote within that context.

Correct. Please tell me chapter and verse so I can locate the phrase you are citing. Also parse the Hebrew in the original including vowel signs, suffixes and prefixes. Hayah Hoveh Yihyeh That would move the conversation along if you would like.

Your response avoids the issue of the Luke 3:14 of the Holy Scripture and G-d's responses to Moses when Moses asks... "and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?" G-d does not respond יְהֹוָה G-d responds אֶֽהְיֶה אֲשֶׁר אֶֽהְיֶה parse the Hebrew words for their...

English grammar and syntax do not change the meaning of the Greek. That is looking through the wrong end of the telescope. The original (in this case the Greek) determines the meaning of the translation (in this case the English). The cart does not pull the horse. To support your contention...

I have an issue with regard to their 20th Century NT Translation of Luke 4:18. The KJV translates the entire verse 18 including original Greek "he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted". 20th Century doesn’t even include this in their translation. This a serious enough flaw which should...
