What is the Bible about?

[JLG]

- My answer :

- Let’s be clear !

- Being a Christian has nothing to do with being an Israelite !

- From the beginning the Israelites opposed Yah.weh !

- They had a bad end !

- We can say the same with many people who say they are Christians !

- If they oppose Yah.weh, they will have a bad end !

- Polygamy has nothing to do with being a Christian !

 

[JLG]

P L E A S E

Take into your mind that the New Testament was not translated into another Language until nearly 2000 years after it was written.

Let’s consider - that - Paul and Timothy’s writings in the manuscripts - are a bit different from Paul and Timothy’s writings in the translations ..
Remember - Paul and Timothy are writing in ancient Greek - nearly 2000 years before the SYSTEM of
“ Church of Rome and the Church of England “ 1400s

Let’s take a simple look at the original Greek

1Ti 5 : 3 Honour widows that are widows indeed.


:9
Χηρα A Widow - καταλεγεσθω about whom is said - μη not -
ελαττον younger than / lesser - ετων years - εξηκοντα of sixty -
γεγονυια being / existing as / - ενος one / singular - ανδρος husbands - γυνη wife.
Meaning
“ :9 “ A Widow about whom is said whom is younger than / lesser of being / existing as / - one / singular husbands wife.
:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints' feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good works
Then, the author quickly jumps to another scenario – situation or situation
1Ti 5:11 νεωτερας Young - δε also - χηρας widows -

παραιτου decline - οταν when - γαρ for -

καταστρηνιασωσιν about whom lived luxuriously - του of -

χριστου the anointing - γαμειν marry - θελουσιν they desire / please.


Meaning - = When that a younger woman whom is a widow and she had previously lived a luxurious and blessed or good quality and pleasant life, they - ( these younger widows themselves ) - they will tend to refuse or reject immediately getting married again = the young widow will decline re –marriage.

Paul is not here casting a negative, judgmental, critical, negative narratives and DAMNATIONS OF JUDGMENTS in these passages - REMEMBER - when St. Paul is writing to the Churches, he is saying sometimes - that this message or opinion is not “ FROM THE LORD “ but this is simply what I feel or think.

Paul and Timothy’s teachings - are often simply a situation in the “ MANUSCRIPTS “ where Paul and Timothy are laying out crude and rudimentary BASIC UNDEVELOPED distant scenarios - and situations that he is noticing in the churches

Paul and Timothy’s writings in the manuscripts - are different from Paul and Timothy’s writings in the translations .




Paul and Timothy are writing “ Outlines “ quick rundowns, - fast “ jumping “ - sketches and vague summaries and synopsis about many, many various IMPORTANT multiple situations that are in the GREEK MANUSCRIPTS that are NOT
- not denoting definitive, ultimate, authoritative and critical, decisive conclusions.

These are often not conclusions in the manuscripts - THE TRANSLATORS OFTENTIMES INJECT AND INSERT or INFUSE and “ I N T E R W E A V E “ connections and conclusions that mold and conform to their OWN personal - societal , community church situation………… or ideology.



:12 εχουσαι Having - κριμα judgment - οτι because / that

την her / the - πρωτην first - πιστιν faith -

ηθετησαν is annulled / declared invalid / rejected.


Meaning -= that a younger woman whose husband had just recently died COULD feel , COULD experience, COULD suffer, COULD go through, - COULD hurt and feel that her judgment about re – marring so soon is jeopardized by her feelings of judgment about a new husband, even her first faith in Christ _ The Lord Jesus “ seems annulled / invalid and she feels feelings of rejection concerning her own FEELINGS OF FAITH in God and about the Church and about re - marriage,.

Paul and Timothy are explaining these situations in the church in a “ fast paced “ jumbled - unorganized NON JUDGMENAL conditional and overlapping writing style.

NOT commanding anyone to reject or not marry - but simply explaining the situation of how widows feel.

The Translators simply delete and ignore all of this and invent another narrative that is simply not in the original manuscript.

waiting for nearly 2000 years to translate an ancient book into another language - unless we go to the original, we are only relying upon the inspiration of a 15 th century " COPY CAT " of the Church of Rome...

the KJV is nothing more than " COPY CAT " of the Catholic Church translation - word for word, the Protestants only were concerned with correcting the errors in which disagreed with protestant Church doctrine...... the protestants left everything else nearly exactly as their mother Rome had translated...............

the Protestants who translated had not broken away from the Roman Church no more than a single generation - to the time they had produced the KJV - a permit Bible- a BIBLE PERMIT - which says that

Polygamy has nothing to do with being a Christian !

but the original manuscripts say much about having another wife.

Present Tense, Middle Voice, Imperative Mood Verb Test for Ancient Greek | Ancient Greek Keyboard

- Present middle imperative verb test :

The « present tense » of Present Middle Imperatives refers not to time but to the aspect of the orders. In short, present Middle Imperatives are commands that are expected to be followed not once, but as an ongoing process.

For example, a doctor might tell a patient, « Eat less fatty food ! » In this exhortation, the doctor is issuing an order which should always be folloed. (ie : it is not an order that is to be folloed one time and then forgotten about.)

- So this tense is to give an order !

- Thus refuse (to enroll) younger widows !

EXODUS 3:15

YAH.WEH THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS – THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB – HAS SENT ME TO YOU.
THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS HOW I AM TO BE REMEMBERED IN EVERY GENERATION IN EVERY GENERATION.

__________________________________________________________________________

Jesus had siblings :

- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!

__________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

• If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
• They used to write differently!
• They used to speak differently!
• They used to think differently!
• They used to act differently!

__________________________________________________________________________

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

• Point of time (a specific day)
• time period of a whole or half a day:
  • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
  • Sunrise to sunset
  • Sunset to next sunset
• General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
• A year "lived a lot of days"
• Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

__________________________________________________________________________

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.

Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.

• Remember Eleazar the priest: HE TOOK A SPEAR AND HE KILLED THE ISRAELITE AND THE MIDIANITE WOMAN WHO WERE COMMITTING IMMORALITY IN FRONT OF ALL THE ISRAELITES WHEN THEY WERE WEEPING!

• WITH ONE ACTION HE STOPPED THE SCOURGE AGAINST

ISRAEL AND YAH.WEH’S ANGER WENT AWAY!

• BUT 24,000 DIED!

- WHAT ABOUT US?

• Many people think they read the Bible but when you listen to them, it is clear they don’t read it!
• THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO READ THE BIBLE: TO TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT WHAT YOU READ!
• IT DOESN’T MATTER IF YOU MAKE MISTAKES!
• YOU MUST DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN, THEN YOU WILL START TO LEARN ABOUT THE BIBLE!

____________________________________________________________

• In Luke 19, Jesus tells us an interesting illustration about God’s kingdom!
• An important man must go to a distant land to secure kingly power!
• To his ten slaves he gives money to do business with it till he comes back!
• When he comes back, he wants to know what his slaves have done with their business activity!
• According to what they have done he gives them authority over cities!
• BUT ONE SLAVE HASN’T DONE ANYTHING!
• And he takes what he gave to this slave and gives it to the one who did the best job!
• SO THOSE WHO HAVE MORE WILL BE GIVEN!
• BUT THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE IT WILL BE TAKEN AWAY WHAT THEY HAVE!
• What about you?

_______________________________________________________

• Maybe you remember that Yah.weh prevented David from building his temple because he was a soldier and he spent a big part of his life making war!
• Jesus clearly said a Christian can’t do that!
• In fact, everything we hear in the first part of the Bible has nothing but nothing to do with what a Christian must or mustn’t do!
• THUS WHEN PEOPLE USE THE FIRST PART OF THE BIBLE TO JUSTIFY ANY PRACTICE IS TOTALLY WRONG AND HAS NOTHING BUT NOTHING TO DO WITH JESUS’ TEACHING!
• I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO THINK ABOUT IT!

EXODUS 3:15

YAH.WEH THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS – THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB – HAS SENT ME TO YOU.
THIS IS MY NAME FOREVER, AND THIS IS HOW I AM TO BE REMEMBERED IN EVERY GENERATION IN EVERY GENERATION.

Jesus had siblings :

- Guess what: the Bible is the history of the Israelites!
- Each page tells you that!
- Each story tells you that!
- Each family tells you that!
- The book of Adam's story tells you that!

Remember:

• If you think like today’s people, you will never understand the Bible!
• They used to write differently!
• They used to speak differently!
• They used to think differently!
• They used to act differently!

Remember:

Biblical Hebrew has a very small number of words, about 8,000, and around 1,700 of those words are hapax legomena (being said once) in the Hebrew Bible. Modern Hebrew has about 100,000 words. For comparison modern English has over 450,000 words, and Spanish has just over 175,000 words. Standard English dictionaries typically have about 200,000 words, whereas Spanish dictionaries have about 80,000 words.

This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context.

Although yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans:

• Point of time (a specific day)
• time period of a whole or half a day:
  • Period of light (as contrasted with the period of darkness),
  • Sunrise to sunset
  • Sunset to next sunset
• General term for time ( as in 'days of our lives')
• A year "lived a lot of days"
• Time period of unspecified length. "days and days"

The Greek language is ranked as the richest in the world with 5 million words and 70 million word types. According to Dr. MacDonald, only 600,000 Greek words are used today, making the Greek vocabulary the largest in the world and 3.5 times bigger than the English vocabulary.

Though there are 138,607 words in the Greek New Testament, only 5,394 are unique.
