When Genesis 6 says the Sons of God went to the Daughters of men, married any of them they chose, had children by them, and they bore giants…is that talking about angels, or the descendants of the line of Seth? Who are the Sons of God?
Yea, I know that.
I’m wondering what the KJV translators thought they were translating. Like what that word meant to them in 1611.
I looked it up in Robert Caldwell’s dictionary as well as another dictionary from the 1700’s and couldn’t find it.
Good question. They were in the Bible, even if a separate section of the Bible, until 1885. But suddenly in the 1900’s, they can’t be there any more. Why? Because “Cat in the Hat”. That’s why.
He says it’s worthy to be placed among sacred scripture. So yes, that’s exactly what he’s saying.
Besides, who cares what Martin Luther thinks anyway? I care about what the early church thought way back in the 300’s. And they clearly called it divine canonical scripture.
I’m not interested in...
So, you’re just going to leave me in the dark?
I’m asking for you to please help me out. I want to understand what you’re trying to communicate.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
Are you saying that only prophecy is scripture?
Yes he does.
“This is another book not to be found in the Hebrew Bible. Yet its words and speech adhere to the same style as the other books of sacred Scripture. This book would not have been unworthy of a place among them, because it is very necessary and helpful for an understanding of...
Are you saying that there were no prophets at that time?
So what does that mean?
No prophets, thus no scripture?
Was Ezra a prophet?
Was Nehemiah a prophet?
What’s your point?
Well, it’s not clear to me what it is that you think is clear.
I’m asking you nicely to please clarify to me what it is that you think is so clear.
I don’t get your point. These are not 3 consecutive verses one after the other. These are from 3 separate chapters, of which you have not shared...
Same person.
Just like Joakim and Jehoiakim. They’re the same person.
Joiarib and Jehoiarib are the same person.
Besides, Mattathias specifically says that he’s a descendant of Phinehas. He’s the grandson of Aaron. So Jehoiarib isn’t the issue.
You’re obsessing over a non-issue.
Don’t you think you’re being dishonest by hiding from everyone the reason why you want to post the same 3 scripture verses over and over again, but not explain to everyone why you’re posting them?
How do these scripture verses speak to you? What is the point you are making by taking these 3...
Lutherans say it’s not scripture. But the early church called it divine canonical scripture, more than a thousand years before Lutherans existed.
See the problem there?
He’s listed among the Levite priests:
“Now the first lot fell to Jehoiarib, the second to Jedaiah,”
