Wakeup, The word is passover. The KJV has it wrong. He was waiting until the passover celebration was over to please the JEWS, as is implied from verse 3.

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 08 2013,15:36)Mike,Haggai is a better passage for you as Mosses is expressing a wish.And what was the context, Kerwin? Wasn't that after God placed His Holy Spirit on 70 elders, and someone said something to Moses about it? And Moses responded that he wished ALL of God's prophets would have the Spirit?I don't have time to…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Nov. 08 2013,02:18)Mike B.You show me the flaws:  I will proof to you that it's not flawed.wakeup.journey's already doing that job, Wakeup.  All you have to do is PAY ATTENTION.  Take the verse journey listed about the TEMPLE prostitutes, for example.The Hebrew word SPECIFICALLY refers to TEMPLE prostitutes, and not regular old “w…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 07 2013,20:27)Knowing these things, Why do you think the the king accused Micaiah of lying in the name of God?Going from memory, it seems the king told Jehoshaphat that Micaiah ALWAYS prophesied bad for him.So when Micaiah prophesied good, I suppose he was suspicious and because of that implored Micaiah to tell the truth.I…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 07 2013,20:22)Mike,Quote Where is it written that Micaiah didn't live and prophecy by the Spirit of God?Micaiah prophesied by the Spirit of God but he was unable to live by it as that is a gift of the new covenant.Haggai 24 But now be strong, Zerubbabel,’ declares the LORD. ‘Be strong, Joshua son of Jozadak, the high pri…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Nov. 08 2013,02:26)Behold THEY have become like one of us.One of us,who is that one?Don't you mean, Who is that US ?God wasn't speaking of ONE, but of a group.  And that group of beings was called gods earlier in that chapter.Eating of the fruit would make Adam and Eve like the gods.  Then they ate of it, and God said they had b…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Nov. 07 2013,05:04)Kerwin.You are good at spinning words.Keep on doing that and you will get somewhere.Somewhere in the desert.He is once again displaying willful ignorance.

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 06 2013,22:54)Mike,There is no evidence that Thomas said anything beyond that he would not believe until he touched Jesus' scars. Touching those marks is certain.So the marks WERE THERE on Jesus' resurrected body?Isn't that what we were arguing about in the first place?

I find God's truth each time I read a different translation, and each time I check the lexicons and dictionaries and commentaries.God's truth surrounds me, Wakeup.  I will never be the one telling God I couldn't find it.  And that's because I'm not afraid to LOOK FOR IT.On the other hand, your approach seems like laziness in my eyes.  You found on…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 07 2013,19:33)Why did the king, who chose to believe the other 400 who prophesied the same thing not believe Micaiah when he said what the servant told him to?When he said what? Please rephrase the question.

Quote (Wakeup @ Nov. 06 2013,22:28)His flesh in in one book,preserved for us the feed on.If that's true, you'd better keep searching for that one book………. because it's clear the KJV isn't it.You ignoring all the flaws we've been pointing out doesn't mean those flaws aren't there, Wakeup.You can continue to bury your head in the sand if you…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ Nov. 06 2013,21:17)Micaiah is a human and not an angel.  Angels that sin blaspheme against the Holy Spirit while Micaiah did not even receive it to live by.I'm going to start following tigger's lead, and refuse to tolerate willful ignorance.Where is it written that an angel who sins blasphemes against the Holy Spirit?Where is it…[Read more]

Wakeup,Thanks for using quote boxes.  It made the post much easier to follow.I will address the many flaws in what you wrote soon.  Short of time right now.

Quote (Wakeup @ Nov. 06 2013,22:20)I HOPE NO ONE HERE ARE CONDONING THEM.THAT WOULD BE GOING AGAINST GOD.SODOMY DONT MEAN WORSHIPPING OTHER GODS.THIS IS A SPIN. PLEASE WATCH FOR THE DECEIVERS.Wakeup,Perhaps you didn't actually read my post?Nobody condoned homosexuality.  And nobody said “sodomy” is the act of worshipping other gods.What I pointed…[Read more]

Hi Kerwin,I think my last post to journey should help. Also, I forgot to talk about “Jaare-Oregim”.Notice that the Chronicles passage just says “Jair”, and not “Jair-Oregim”.NETNotes says the last part (Oregim) is the word “weavers”. They suggest that since “weavers rod” is mentioned later in the verse, the scribe's eyes might have jumped…[Read more]

Quote (journey42 @ Nov. 06 2013,20:51) Quote , but according to the MT of 2 Sam 21:19 it was …Elhanan …who killed him.According to what? Those dead sea scrolls, or another?  Because if I look up 2 Sam 21:19, I get this; it contradicts what this person is saying, but harmonises with my KJV. (Brother of Goliath)They are saying that the actual He…[Read more]

God bless you, journey.  You're cooler than a cucumber.  Okay, let's discuss some stuff slowly, because I am by no means an “expert” on this stuff either.The MT is the Masoretic Text – considered to be the authoritative Hebrew text of the Jewish scriptures.It is not as old as the Dead Sea Scrolls that were found in Qumran, but those scrolls have s…[Read more]

Quote (Wakeup @ Nov. 06 2013,22:44)Mike B.How do we know *for sure* that the name iswritten down 7000times?Has anyone checked?Yes Wakeup,They have checked. But once again, the point is not about how many times the Divine Name is in the Hebrew texts. The point is to translate it accordingly EVERY time – not just seven of the 6800 times.Would YOU…[Read more]

Gene,Is Jesus called “O God” in Hebrews 1:8? YES or NO?The only honest answer is “YES”. So when you grow enough to answer the question honestly, I will continue with this discussion.Until then, I'm not interested.

Quote (Gene Balthrop @ Nov. 05 2013,08:31)Mike……….I most certainly did…….No you didn't.  Was God Himself the “Son” to which He said (to Himself), “Your throne, O God, is forever”?Was God telling HIMSELF that His throne was forever…… and calling Himself a “Son” at the same time?
