But that's not evidence. Anyway, it cannot be very common, because not one of the 6 commentaries I have access to even mentions it. An internet search for Genesis 1:1 untranslatable word brought up the following, which says that the Hebrew word et marks what follows as a grammatical direct...

What evidence do you have that Genesis 1:1 originally contained an untranslatable word?

I'm not sure what that has to do with seeing or not seeing Jesus. Yes, He was saying that there would be people like us, who would believe on Him, even though they had not seen Him with their physical eyes.

So if they believed that they were already saved, the passage in Mark has nothing to do with assurance of salvation. They already had that assurance.

The passage in Mark is about them requesting Jesus to grant them privileged positions in glory, not about assurance of salvation.

No I didn't. You said that in post 699, where you wrote; "Therefore, based on your own understanding, you have been misled."

I don't see my understanding of John's words as contradicting what Mark wrote in Mark 10:38-39. The context of the Mark passage is provided by the 3 previous verses: NKJV Mrk 10:35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Him, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we...

I'm not accusing you at all. I am just trying to find out where I have ever claimed that I hadn't written something that I did in fact write. I'd like to know, because if I did that, it was not intentional, and if I knew where I had done it, it would help me to avoid making the same mistake in...

But you didn't answer my question about why you posted "DavidLamb wrote" followed by words that I definitely didn't write. Anybody ready your post would assume that I had written the words. What does, "You act now like you don't remember now another chime in .what's that about" mean? What...

Yes, there can be great value in historical settings. For example, these words take on a much more striking meaning when we know the historical (and geographical) setting: NKJV Rev 3:15 "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. Rev 3:16 So then...

That just is not so. John wrote: NKJV 1Jn 5:13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. You cannot have eternal life if you are not saved, so...

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean. All I was asking was why you posted some words after "DavidLamb said" when I didn't say anything of the sort. It was misleading, and just plain wrong. I agree that we are to fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12) and be what Jesus wants us to be...

What is false? That the New Testament was originally written in Greek? But it was. The translators of the 1611 King James Version of the Bible made their translation from the original languages, as the title page states: "The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments translated out...

As long as church membership doesn't thus become limited to the more academically gifted, as universities are. :)

I am glad I am nor his pastor if he really believes that he should not regard any human being as a teacher when it comes to the Word of God!

It explains a lot that it seems from what he wrote that he never sits under the ministry of God's word.

It was actually addresses to the churches in Galatia: NKJV Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle (not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised Him from the dead), Gal 1:2 and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia:

I know that Jesus spoke in Aramaic. However, as far as I am aware, none of the gospels, in which we read His words, was originally written in Aramaic, but in Greek. The New Testament was first translated into Aramaic in the 2nd Century.

How do we bypass the Greek? The New Testament was originally written in Greek (except for a few words of Jesus in Aramaic, like "talitha cumi" and "Eloi, Eloi lama sabachthani?"). There were translations into Aramaic, such as the Syriac Pershitta. I found a version of the New Testament in...

Where do those two apparent quotes from me come from? Your post started: I didn't write those words, so why post as though I did? Your post says "DavidLamb said," but DavidLamb did not say those words that follow.
