Sometimes one realizes that they have to endure the poor public education system that really short changes folks on a quality reading education. Not their fault, just the cards they have been dealt. Reading comprehension has been on the decline in America for some time. Ok, I guess we have to...

I would like to take credit for figuring this stuff out, but the ancient Jewish Rabbi's, Josephus, and many bible expositors right on up thru today hold similar views on the Genesis 6 passage. The extra biblical work, the Book of Enoch, goes into great detail, even naming names of angels...

A lexicon is based on a person's interpretation, not inspired cannon. How a lexicon translates from the original words is no different that any other translation. Ham was still pure genetically. He did screw up.

Has what to do with the topic? I thought we were talking about Noah. Make your case about Ham and then we can discuss.

Indeed, those are translations. Problem is, when the context of the previous verses are in view, they don't equate very well. When you have Sons of God (bene-ha Elohim) coming unto the daughter of men, and the bene-ha Elohim always is used of angels in the OT, and Nephilim (Hebrew...

What do folks say today, sometimes in jest, about posterity? When some stupid guy like a dumb crook gets killed, some will say "he was taken out of the gene pool". That alone has generations or posterity in view. It is not presumptuous to assume the text says Noah was perfect (tamiym -...

I have noticed the idea tossed around now and then, where folks equate the "last trump" Paul talked about in 1 Corinthians 15:52 with the 7th trump of Revelation. Let's see.... Paul wrote "last trump" to the Corinthians and The Revelation was written at least 30 or more years later. I am not...

I think 2 Thessalonians 2:3 nails it. There must be a departure (no not a falling away) before the man of sin can be revealed. Greek scholar Kenneth Wuest makes the point that Apostasia in the passage that is translated falling away is in error and the the more accurate translation is simply...

Interesting interpretation of the passage. Yeah, Zechariah and Ezekiel both make some references that could only apply in the context of a nuclear event. Ezekiel 39 has references that are straight out of current Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical manuals. Ezekiel 39:14-16 (NKJV) “They will...

Genesis 6:9 (NKJV) This is the genealogy of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God. Tamiym (perfect) is the same word used in determining if a sacrifice lamb is without spot or blemish. For instance Exodus 12:5 where it talks about without blemish. Tamiym...

This is why I like to refer to myself as a Pan-Tribulationist... it will all pan out the way God wants it. I have my own particular views, and healthy debate can refine those views and show which ideas one holds are solid and which need to be tossed. If nothing else, it makes me do my...

Well let's take a look at what many translations said about 2 Thessalonians 2:3 prior to the KJV and modern translations. They all translated apostasia as a departure, not falling away. It wasn't until the KJV that anyone considered that apostasia meant falling away. Only when the KJV...

Went back and re-read Leviticus 23. By bad. You are correct. The Passover begins at the evening of the 14th, which is the start of the 15th. My bad. Duh! Got caught up in the discussion and goofed! Not the first time nor the last! So you would be correct... Yeshua was crucified on the...

Pretty good overall. Just a minor exception on dates. The Passover is on the 14th, but it begins on the evening on the 13th. Days are measured from evening to evening based on the creation, when the Lord stated that the evening and the morning were each day. So one has to look at each day...

To add to that Scott, Isaiah 26 is a great support text for the verses you are referencing. Both the resurrected dead along with the righteous are to hide themselves in their chambers during this terrible time. When Yeshua said in John 14:2 that there were many mansions (KJV), rooms (NIV)...

It does depend a little on perspective. God says that Israel is His elect here: Isaiah 45:4 (NKJV) For Jacob My servant's sake, And Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. And I think we can agree that all of Israel has never been...

Try the Latin Vulgate. Harpazo is translated into Latin as Rapturo, from which we get the transliterated word, Rapture. 1 Thessalonians 4 has Harpazo and is typically translated as "caught up". Harpazo literally is a forced "snatching away". Coming as a thief could easily be seen as a...

When all the nonsense since the armistice in '53 is factored in, it is going to take much more than a Fox News piece with Nikki Haley to start any optimism on my part. I clearly remember PRK's little forays into upsetting the apple cart in the 60's and 70's. Nothing is different since Grandpa...

I think it is deeper than any of us have any capacity to imagine. I have become convinced that the "mark" is more sinister than just a stamp or implant. One aspect of it is that anyone who receives it is no longer qualified for salvation. On the surface, it would seem anyone who changed their...

There are actually things God cannot do! I know, one should gasp at that comment. After All, God can do anything, right? Well, He cannot make anyone love Him. He cannot make anyone accept His son. God also cannot lie. The OP covered those. Also along with those, most folks think that God...
