Hi Steve, I use TheWord as well, and love it. A module of Thompson's version of the LXX will be available soon, if it isn't available already. Why do you think it is based on the Alexandrian Codex? I had assumed it was based on the Vaticanus or Sinaiticus simply because Azal is translated Jasod...

I must live in an alternate universe. I simply cannot fathom why anyone would trust any translation. Where Westcott/Hort, NA, and the LXX vary, be prayerful, seek the mind of God, and be thankful you have a sentient mind and your God isn't a book, but a living perfect being. Where they don't...

And which nature does his conditioning and divided heart belong to? The old, or new nature?

Interesting observations. I look forward to your commentary.

Isn't that a matter of interpretation? I don't see anything like that in the scriptures.

He can only cleanse what we bring to the table. Things we do not bring to the light cannot be cleansed, except by fire (so to speak). For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. 1...

I was referring to what I quoted, which is your interpretation. It seems quite a stretch to turn 7 days into 7 years. It seems much more likely that the future fulfillment of the 7-day festival of tabernacles is the wedding festival. Furthermore, it doesn't make sense that we will "celebrate the...

This is currently being discussed in another post.as well - http://www.christianityboard.com/topic/15414-jewish-wedding-misleading/ Jerusalem is the bride of Christ. We are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb and Jerusalem. What you have described seems farfetched and imaginary.

As long as you believe God's word is just a book, you will think that way

Eh, well, I'm not so sure about that. Paul did say "we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones." The only way I can see that happening is if, corporately, we are his wife. The logical conclusion from this is that the body of Christ is Jerusalem.

Sanctification and righteousness are not the same things. One in Christ may do unrighteousness (sin), but does not become unrighteous in God's eyes. That is, of course, because our righteousness before God is no longer based on our works, but on Christ's. We do, however, become unclean through...

Good observations. We are Jerusalem's children who are invited to her wedding festival.

Good words.

Allegory referring to true Jerusalem. Hagar corresponds to Jerusalem below, Sarah corresponds to Jerusalem above. Sarah does not, cannot, ever make us free. I just looked again at what you said and noticed you said A mother (not THE mother). I can actually agree with that. My apologies.

Sorry, incomplete pass. :) Jerusalem is the mother of all Christians. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Galatians 4:26

Well I'm not going to play games with you. If you want to play games with what the bible says, that's your business.

Haven't you read the bible? I'm merely repeating what it says.

God cannot sin. God cannot dwell with unholiness. God cannot be unjust. You be the judge.

Impossible. God can only acquit where there is no sin.
