    Septuagint

    The evidence is what matters. The location that Jesus and the apostles lived would determine the language they spoke. Galilee was a Gentile province and the apostles would have spoken Greek and Aramaic. Jesus and the apostles were uneducated people. Use of Hebrew It seems the strong weight...

    Septuagint

    A very simple test for the validity of the Greek translation would be to test the Septuagint against the Dead Sea scrolls. The Dead Sea scrolls were written in Hebrew and would be the Hebrew text at the time. They were written within a century or two apart from each other. Do you have another...

    Septuagint

    If you read the New Testament then when you read an apostles quotation from the Old Testament. Your more than likely reading the Septuagint. You have been reading the same Septuagint as the Gospel authors. I doubt whether any of the apostles could read Hebrew except for Paul.

    Septuagint

    The Significance of the Septuagint The significance of the Septuagint translation can hardly be overestimated. Following the conquests of Alexander the Great (336-323 BC), Greek became the official language of Egypt, Syria and the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. The Septuagint translation...

    Septuagint

    Christian usage of the Septuagint. The Early Christian church used the Greek texts,[15] since Greek was a lingua franca of the eastern parts of the Roman Empire at the time and the language of the Greco-Roman Church, while Aramaic was the language of Syriac Christianity. The relationship...

    The plan to destroy America

    Japan does not have a problem with illegal immigrants or immigration in general. They don't have an immigration scheme. Crime is extremely low and Japan is a very safe country to live. I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so.

    Revelation 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them; and they were judged, each one of them according to their deeds. The text of Revelation 20 has a first and second resurrection. The text clearly states those who are in the...

    The rapture? The comimg of Christ.

    Eschatology for some reason is littered not with only interpretations of the scripture. There are many additions to the text of revelation also. For example, a seven year tribulation is not even mentioned in the text. There is a forty two month reign of the beast stated in the scripture.

    Hello DRobinson. There are requirements required to be a member of the first resurrection. Revelation 20:4-5 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the...

    Question for those who believe in a Pre-Tribulation Rapture

    The missing week is not commonly referred to as the Great Tribulation. There is endless debate about the book of Daniel. I would not take a missing week from Daniel and apply it to a period after the destruction of the Temple and Jerusalem in AD 70. John said the antichrist rules for 42...
