Spider> Greek translations occured after the Council of AD 300.

How many of the listed manuscripts are in Arimaic?



If you continually reference the same documents that were changed and or
accepted at a council that occured 300 years after the fact you are
simply bringing nothing to the table.

Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.

3,Daniel, Ezra and Jeremiah. Then there were only parts of them in
Aramaic.

I was mostly written in Hebrew and Greek. It was translated into about
1600 languages.

Now this is starting to make me sad, I feel like I'm picking on a small
child... Pauls letters were to the Greeks...they were written in Greek.
Pauls letters were later translated into Aramaic, but they were by no
means originally in Aramaic. Aramaic was the language of many of the
Hebrews, but Paul was speaking to the Romans. Greek was the language of
trade, so it was the most widely spoken language at the time. Even if
you look into the Old Testament, only Daniel and Ezra were written in
Aramaic.

Abra said that Jesus was a man just like Dr. M. L. King.

Dr. King was a Baptist minister, he preached the Gospel of Jesus. He
called Jesus his Lord and Savior.

The theme of the Holy Bible is Love...

Below is an excerpt from one of Dr. Kings' sermons.

This principle stands at the center of the cosmos. As John says, "God is
love." He who loves is a participant in the being of God. He who hates
does not know God.

So American Christians, you may master the intricacies of the English
language. You may possess all of the eloquence of articulate speech. But
even if you "speak with the tongues of man and angels, and have not
love, you are become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."

You may have the gift of prophecy and understanding all mysteries. You
may be able to break into the storehouse of nature and bring out many
insights that men never dreamed were there. You may ascend to the
heights of academic achievement, so that you will have all knowledge.
You may boast of your great institutions of learning and the boundless
extent of your degrees. But all of this amounts to absolutely nothing
devoid of love.

But even more Americans, you may give your goods to feed the poor. You
may give great gifts to charity. You may tower high in philanthropy. But
if you have not love it means nothing. You may even give your body to be
burned, and die the death of a martyr. Your spilt blood may be a symbol
of honor for generations yet unborn, and thousands may praise you as
history's supreme hero. But even so, if you have not love your blood was
spilt in vain. You must come to see that it is possible for a man to be
self-centered in his self-denial and self-righteous in his
self-sacrifice. He may be generous in order to feed his ego and pious in
order to feed his pride. Man has the tragic capacity to relegate a
heightening virtue to a tragic vice. Without love benevolence becomes
egotism, and martyrdom becomes spiritual pride.

So the greatest of all virtues is love. It is here that we find the true
meaning of the Christian faith. This is at bottom the meaning of the
cross. The great event on Calvary signifies more than a meaningless
drama that took place on the stage of history. It is a telescope through
which we look out into the long vista of eternity and see the love of
God breaking forth into time. It is an eternal reminder to a power drunk
generation that love is most durable power in the world, and that it is
at bottom the heartbeat of the moral cosmos. Only through achieving this
love can you expect to matriculate into the university of eternal life.

Yes, I know who Dr. King was.

His words are eloquent and truthful. And his message was love.

However, please note also that he was preaching this to a nation of
Christians who were full of bigotry and hate.

Hmmm?

Someone’s not getting a message. I wonder who that might be?

How are you all doing? Everybody staying friendly?

Love


If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am
only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of
prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a
faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I
give all of my possessions to the poor and surrender my body to the
flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it
is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily
angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but
rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always
hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease;
where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when
perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked
like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I
became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor
reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in
part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of
these is love.

sigh......that was beautiful.

I had much of what you wrote in there in my wedding vows.
Thanks for the memories.
Kat

1 Corinthians chapter 13

In that post I wasn't suggesting that you weren't getting the message.
I was actually suggesting that the bulk of the Christians in America
weren't getting Christ’s message of love. They were still quite
prejudiced and intolerant of minorities at the time Rev. King was giving
his message.

THE message is love and tolerance. I ‘got it’ a long time ago. I hope
you did too.

Just to repeat others. Religion is a cult. But there is Truth with
God. Regardless of what you do traditionally, it is the Word that you
can always trust. I just came about this. Now I understand the mixed
emotions when discussing and using the term "Religion". I must admit
though, how science proves more and more that events listed within the
bible are to be more and more correct. Although I have also learned,
that if you find truth, you should be content, and not be distracted by
opposing thoughts or speech.

Since I started this particular thread, I think that it is tragic that
TLW has decided to leave.

I pray (yes pray) to who? God (yes God) that he will come back.
