Language ...

[Tone]

So what is His language?

"Both the Pope and the Israeli prime minister are right, says Dr Sebastian Brock, emeritus reader in Aramaic at Oxford University, but it was important for Netanyahu to clarify. Hebrew was the language of scholars and the scriptures. But Jesus's "everyday" spoken language would have been Aramaic. And it is Aramaic that most biblical scholars say he spoke in the Bible. This is the language that Mel Gibson used for The Passion of the Christ, although not all the words could be found from 1st Century Aramaic, and some of the script used words from later centuries."
Who, What, Why: What language would Jesus have spoken?

So what is His language?

During His earthly ministry He spoke a Galilean dialect of a Western Aramaic language known as Jewish Palestinian Aramaic.

That is your own words, what prevails is the Word of God. The Word is God, understand?

Yes.

I understand the Word is Jesus Christ.

That's not the problem here.

 

[Scott Husted]

I don't know what you mean "which makes the word God to us", Jesus, as the Divine Logos is Himself truly God, because He is the eternally-begotten Son of the Father.

-CryptoLutheran

Maybe it would be better to not have capitalized God ...

 

[Scott Husted]

Words come with languages.

...and God is the word ... which is merely a point of reference, no matter what language it is spoken in.

On the day of pentecost Peter spoke one of three languages, regardless of which one he used those who heard it heard it in their own as opposed to degrees like the voice that came from heaven.

Jesus said his words were spirit and the words he spoke were not his own, so like him, it's not the package, but what is in the package.

That He spoke the vernacular, speaks volumes.

... no matter what language it is spoken in.

Then why did you start this thread?

I always tell people:

Don't ask a question, if you can't handle an answer.

 

[AV1611VET]

I was under the impression the OP wanted to know what language was spoken when God spoke the universe into existence.

But now I have to admit, I don't know what he wants.

It's evidently a poorly-written OP.

You believe He spoke Jacobean at creation?!

 

[AV1611VET]

You believe He spoke Jacobean at creation?!

Yup.

 

[Tone]

I feel compelled to re-ask this:

So you think a language of man is the language of God?

I think people are kind of saying that His Tongue transcends these earth based communications as do His Thoughts.

Unless you are saying that Jacobean English is the equivalent (or analogous) of the Son Who came down.

I would need some Biblical support for that. Would you say that Jacobean English was spoken in heaven (the mountain top) and then this pure water, if you will, became less and less pure as it streamed into the sea? And that the Hebrew language is one of many ponds or lakes formed along the way?

I hope you follow my analogy.

?

 

[Jesus is YHWH]

And Jesus spoke Greek with Pilate. He was the Romans leader and Greek was his dialect.

hope this helps !!!

 

[Tone]

Yup.

Wow, is this your own thing or is this a denominational belief?

 

[ViaCrucis]

...and God is the word

While the prologue of St. John's Gospel reads "καὶ θεὸς ἦν ὁ λόγος", the proper translation into English is "and the Word was God". "God" is being applied to Word, rather than "Word" being applied to God.

In the beginning was the Word (Jesus).
And the Word (Jesus) was with God (the Father)
And the Word (Jesus) was God (Jesus, as the Word, distinct from the Father, is God).

The Eternal Logos is Himself truly God, as the only-begotten of the Father, "begotten before all ages" as we confess in the Nicene Creed.

I feel compelled to re-ask this:

So you think a language of man is the language of God?

The other way around.

The language of God was the language He gave to man.

You know ... so they could converse together?

Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

I think people are kind of saying that His Tongue transcends these earth based communications as do His Thoughts.

Then Adam would be in a mess, wouldn't he?

Unless you are saying that Jacobean English is the equivalent (or analogous) of the Son Who came down.

Jesus, as far as I know, spoke Greek when it was necessary, Hebrew as necessary, and any other language as necessary.

Jacobean English was interrupted at the tower of Babel and never spoken again in Biblical times.

I would need some Biblical support for that.

Well, you're not going to get it from me, because I don't believe Jesus spoke Jacobean English during His first advent.

Would you say that Jacobean English was spoken in heaven (the mountain top) and then this pure water, if you will, became less and less pure as it streamed into the sea?

Huh?

And that the Hebrew language is one of many ponds or lakes formed along the way?

The Hebrew language would have come after the tower of Babel incident.

 

[AV1611VET]

Wow, is this your own thing or is this a denominational belief?

It's my own thing.

Just a pet theory of mine.

 

[Tone]

Jacobean English was the vernacular of its time right?

Latin was the hoity toity tongue when King James ruled, correct?

 

[AV1611VET]

Jacobean English was the vernacular of its time right?

It was the language depicted in ...

Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

It was the only language ever spoken anywhere in the universe at the time.

Latin was the hoity toity tongue when King James ruled, correct?

I thought Jacobean English was.

 

[Scott Husted]

Then why did you start this thread?

I always tell people:

I've always said ... never ask another for your opinion.

Perception is everything ...

 

[Oseas]

Yes.
I understand the Word is Jesus Christ.
That's not the problem here.

Ok, but my point is that the discussion is about "What is the language of God and how is the creation and the process of it part of it",

Ok, but please, my point is that the discussion is about "What is the language of God and how is the creation and the process of it part of it", however, it seems that the discussion now went toward the human science that study the language called linguistics what has nothing to do with the language of God, or how God communicates Himself, it has nothing to do with the Word of God, for the Word is God.
