    Errata: I meant to say that Paul's arrest was recorded in Acts 21:17-40, and the Aramaic speech continues in Acts 22:1-8. :oops2 I also just noticed that the word trasliterated Nazr, in English is apparently (at least sometimes) spelled, נָזִיר, Nzyr in modern Hebrew. The 'y' may either be...

    It's hardly surprising that you don't hear it. Unless you live near a community of Christians who both know history, and still practice 2000 year old Christian vows or else you live near aramaic or syriac speaking peoples; you aren't likely to hear a Hebrew word in English. You're more likely...

    That may be, but just to make sure I understand you: have you become dedicated to a task, and shave your head as part of a ritual where you had to take an oath at the beginning of your service ? For if you took an oath, then you are nazir according to the basic meaning of the word -- but if...

    Ahh... ypu must not have been reading my earlier posts... :hysterical because Hebrew converts to Christianity, often did follow the rituals of Moses, and even stayed in the temple at the set times of prayer up and until the temples destruction, for many years after Jesus died and rose again...

    But Leah, what does mere nature have to do with God? Is not man fallen in nature ? So, why would you take Paul's statement in 1Corinthians 11, as definitive of how to dress when dealing with God? What scripture or logic could Paul be possibly drawing on as the fundamental basis of his...

    Indeed, I was the one who brought up physical distractions, and seductions, as something I have observed in modern day churches, wherein a woman wishes to gain attention from an unmarried pastor. But in light of the Nazarite vows which I think women could take at the time -- and which is...

    I also still don't quite get the idea that it was a shame for a woman to have her head shaven/uncovered. I mean, the law of the Nazarite always has been for both men and women, hasn't it? Numbers 6:2 And since a christian can still take a Nazarite vow in the new testament, for we have...

    How to become a submissive wife?

    It goes like this: Matthew 18:9 The passage is hyperbole, but not entirely. An eye is part of the body; the spouse is also part of the body. The eye, seldom is a cause for concern other than lust; and generally one can at least close the eye or do something short of cutting it off to stop the...

    Then I must have worked to long on the parable, and spoilt it ? :hysterical I did indeed say: and when I said: At least the mustard seed in the parable grew into something which birds nested in, or found shade under. you replied: The leaven in the parable grew to change the lump. Our only...

    To be fair to Sinthesis, I was the one who brought up the Greek grammar; and not to be impressive or to support sinthesis' position -- but to make him think about the problem more and give a fuller explanation. The relationships given in the parable can be understood a number of different ways...

    Butch, it's part of bible study to look at things according to scripture as a whole ; and to try and reconcile differences in opinions about scripture so that they all fit together harmoniously. Part of the reason I brought these scriptural truths up -- is to see what you would say about them...

    OK. I'm game. :biggrin There are no commas in Greek and word order does not determine subjects of sentences in Greek. It is your decision, or the translators decision to insert a comma after mustard seed. I could translate the sentence just as accurately: Matthew 13:31 Another parable he...

    It's not the whole Glory of creation that I am talking about. I'm referencing that male and female human beings are made in the image of God. They are God's glory because they are made in his image. Animals, and grain, and other things are not specifically the image of God. Those things...

    I am not interpreting it misogynically. In my initial look at the parable, the woman is handling the whole church and doing with it whatever she wants to; What fleshly woman could possibly do that? Therefore, I was not discerning based on the genitals between the legs. I said the woman is...

    :) I think there is evidence everywhere in what you wrote that you understood me very well. I also liked what JLB said. God does make everything beautiful in it's season. The leavening agents found everywhere, in soil, the air, even hanson's disease, have a purpose. Whether there be a heap of...
