Quote The bottom line is that you've discovered that “ra” is indeed a Hebrew word – and that ONE of it's meanings is “evil”.  Now look at all the OTHER meanings of the word….. meanings that the KJV itself uses MANY times in other verses.   Then tell me that “evil” is the ONLY way the KJV could have translated “ra” in Isaiah 45:7.  If you can sa…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 30 2013,02:46)Just found this today in my daily reading:Job 5:17 NETTherefore, blessed is the man whom God corrects, so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty. 67NETNote #67 says:The name Shaddai occurs 31 times in the book. This is its first occurrence. It is often rendered “Almighty” because of the LXX and som…[Read more]

Quote The claim by Jack in the other thread is that neither the Hebrew word “shaddai” nor the Greek word “pantokratwr” actually mean “Almighty” – although Jerome translated as such in the Vulgate. But it is known that parts of the KJV are back-translated from the Vulgate, so that may have something to do with the “Almighty” translation of the…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 30 2013,06:09)Kerwin, I also checked briefly in the GK numbering system,  as that system is more accurate, and more detailed than the Strong numbering system.  I thought they might have two different numbers for these two different “forms” of the word “ra” that 2B's source mentioned.  I found no such thing as of yet.Hi Mi…[Read more]

Hi 2BesseI checked out this site. Very good.

Hi MikeI found the “ra” word.  Yes it means evil in Hebrew, and translated into different words, …but according to the context. So I agree it does not mean sun god!I found this good article by Karl Simms, but could not copy and paste.  Whilst I was reading it, my computer froze.  It could not handle it.If it's doing this to my computer, im…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 29 2013,13:10)Journey,A Lexicon is  basically a dictionary.KerwinIt's a lot harder for me to use than just a dictionary.

Quote Try looking in a Hebrew lexicon,  journey.  Or just look at the second post on the previous page of this thread.I can't believe that you and Wakeup would rather PRETEND that the Hebrew word “ra” doesn't exist than to honestly address this issue.  You say my source can't be trusted, but “my source” is ANY Hebrew lexicon that you can find AN…[Read more]

.Quote  So…. How will you know that it is Jesus who has returned, and not a fake?Yes we need to warn people. 2BesseJesus cannot return until all prophesies leading up to his return are fulfilled.  If we are in darkness (no knowledge) then we will not know the signs.  Before Christ will return, the Son of Perdition must come FIRST.  He is the…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 27 2013,10:52)Yes.  It was undoubtedly the power of God that caused the omission of temple prostitutes in the KJV to be CORRECTED – by allowing us to find older and better knowledge about that command He gave.  So now we are able to know that money made from REGULAR prostitutes isn't allowed in the temple – and we are a…[Read more]

Quote (mikeboll64 @ Nov. 26 2013,10:03)Wakeup and journey,Are you ready to acknowledge that the KJV translated the Hebrew word “ra” as various other things besides “evil”?  Will you acknowledge that it was merely their CHOICE to translate it as “evil” in Isaiah 45:7?Will you acknowledge that they could have translated it as “adversity” or…[Read more]

Quote I do hope journey and Wakeup will not just close their eyes to that info.  But let's check out that scripture they listed:Psalms 22:16 NET © Yes, wild dogs surround me – a gang of evil men crowd around me; like a lion they pin my hands and feet. 2Footnote #2:Hebrew: “like a lion, my hands and my feet.”This reading is often emended because…[Read more]

Quote I know there is some talk about Matthew being written in Hebrew originally, and then translated into Greek.  I believe Eusebius is the one who wrote that he had actually seen the original Hebrew text with his own eyes in Alexandria.  But there is no remaining proof of that Hebrew text of Matthew.  The only remaining ones are in the Greek la…[Read more]
