Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 31 2013,20:12) Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 01 2013,06:44) Quote (kerwin @ Oct. 31 2013,18:13) Mike, You do not believe angels are non-corporeal beings.
I believe angels are spirits who possess spiritual bodies. The standard definition of “non-corporeal” is useless when discussing things not of this world. I've listed examples where that word doesn't even always apply when discussing certain things that ARE of this world.Kerwin, is it possible that angels ARE spirits, like the scriptures say? And that they have spiritual bodies, like the scriptures say? And that just because human beings can't readily SEE those bodies doesn't mean they aren't bodies?
Mike,You are using an English definition of spirit that may not be supported by the Koine Greek word that it is translated to. The lexicons I have read are vague or even more vague about the meanings.
I asked you a direct question, Kerwin. And once again, as usual, you decided not to answer it in a direct manner.Did you know that one of the definitions of “spiritual” is “that which belongs to a spirit”? Did you know that definition is from Thayer's Lexicon? So maybe you're reading the wrong lexicons.
A “spiritual body” is “a body which belongs to a spirit”. Paul contrasts “spiritual body” against the “natural body” we received from the first Adam. He says we will receive a “spiritual body” and be “like those of heaven”.
And about the word “spiritual”, Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words says:
(a)the angelic hosts, lower than God but higher in the scale of being than man in his natural state, are 'spiritual hosts,' Eph 6:12;
(i) the resurrection body of the dead in Christ is 'spiritual,' i.e., such as is suited to the heavenly environment, 1Cr 15:44;
Notice how Vine also contrasts the “spiritual” state of angelic hosts against the “natural” state of man.
I could probably quote hundreds of scholars who understand this simple concept, Kerwin. But would it do any good?

The basics can be found in all versions, but it when it comes to the finer details, the newer versions will not reveal.Can you spot the difference? And then tell me why I think it's my right to question.
KJV
HOSEA 11:12 Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.NIV
HOSEA 11:12 Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, Israel with deceit. And Judah is unruly against God, even against the faithful Holy One.Journey, yes, so that is an error. But most translations have translated it correctly.
If it is a major PROBLEM then regardless of which translation we have, the spirit of God will lead us to CHECK, when something is not right.
That also goes for the KJV which has errors.
I guess it goes to show… Do we trust the “letter” 100%, or God.
November 4, 2013 at 12:20 am#3610322beseeParticipantThe very fact that the KJV and a few others WRONGLY TRANSLATED the word evil, in crucial parts of scripture, puts me off the KJV as a choice. But, if one has the KJV, and cannot get another version, then the spirit should lead them away from that error of thinking.

Quote KJV – Published in 1611
Psalm 119:160 Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.NIV – Published in the 1970's
Psalm 119:160 All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal.Quote There are significant differences between the two but this is not one. If there is any flaw it is the word “beginning” in the KJV as God's Word has been true since eternity, there is no beginning point at which is was true.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.Quote Interpretation makes them both true as you can say that the KJV is speaking of the beginning of creation and it is silent of the time before. The NIV's choice covers from eternity to eternity.
We have a beginning when the heavens and the earth were created. We know God had no beginning, but there was a beginning when creation started. So the Word BEGINNING is important, for it corresponds to John 1:1.Quote Note: That is not the edition that was published in 1611. It is an edited version, most likely from the 19th Century.
Can you show me where I can view online please if you know? I'd like to compare.November 4, 2013 at 2:13 am#361055journey42ParticipantKerwin,
If that was the case, then why didn't the new age translators re-translate John 1:1 to say from eternal?

November 4, 2013 at 2:17 am#361057journey42ParticipantKerwin
Doesn't this show that the New Age Translators are using Private interpretation?
For they are translating what they think they know (that God is Eternal) and not realising that creation had a beginning. Not God, but creation?2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

I tell you for certain that everyone who
has faith in me has eternal life.Plenty more but need I go on?
Plus, you are taking it out of context.My RSV has what you call wrong, but look at the context. Anyone would know who we are to believe in.
35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of
life; he who comes to me shall not hunger,
and he who believes in me shall never
thirst. 36 But I said to you that you have
seen me and yet do not believe. 37 All that
the Father gives me will come to me; and
him who comes to me I will not cast out.
38 For I have come down from heaven, not
to do my own will, but the will of him who
sent me; 39 and this is the will of him who
sent me, that I should lose nothing of all
that he has given me, but raise it up at the
last day. 40 For this is the will of my
Father, that every one who sees the Son and
believes in him should have eternal life;
and I will raise him up at the last day.”
41 The Jews then murmured at him,
because he said, “I am the bread which
came down from heaven.” 42 They said, “Is
not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose
father and mother we know? How does he
now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?”
43 Jesus answered them, “Do not murmur
among yourselves. 44 No one can come to
me unless the Father who sent me draws
him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, ‘And they
shall all be taught by God.’ Every one who
has heard and learned from the Father
comes to me. 46 Not that any one has seen
the Father except him who is from God; he
has seen the Father. 47 Truly, truly, I say to
you, he who believes has eternal life. 48 I
am the bread of life. 49 Your fathers ate the
manna in the wilderness, and they died.
50 This is the bread which comes sown
from heaven, that a man may eat of it and
not die. 51 I am the living bread which
came down from heaven; if any one eats of
this bread, he will live for ever; and the
bread which I shall give for the life of the
world is my flesh.So, no, Journey. Cover your ears, and shake your head, but truth is – there is no perfect translation, the spirit leads us into truth, and what you are doing is (as above).

Wakeup,
I did not say that. Please try reading things correctly, before you answer.
BIBLES, except the KJV. Not people, I didn't say people.
So isn't that what you say: that all other BIBLE (versions) are of evil – I'm sure I saw you, or Journey say that somewhere?We are called and drawn to scripture.
It is God's tool to speak to us.
Whichever Bible(s) we become used to is for us, all different.
When we try to read scriptures from another version, it can seem odd to us.
NOT that it is wrong – just not what we are used to.
A few versions may be deliberately manipulated to match a view (such as the JWs version) but they are not (from what I have seen) widely available.
Most translations are accurate enough for what we need, and if there are errors, we will, hopefully, be shown.It's as simple as that.
Nothing more I can say.Except that God has no part in “evil”.
Try looking up what the word evil means, and then look up what the word should be (ra = adversity; calamity) and adjust your view, if your are able to. - AuthorPosts
