    What does this scripture mean and how do you interpret it?

    Both the 1828 and 1975 Webster Dictionaries inform us that the word "kill" means, "to deprive of life." The word "murder" means, "the crime of unlawfully killing a person." Both can be used interchangeably, in that it is impossible to murder a person without killing them. However, there are...

    What does this scripture mean and how do you interpret it?

    Personally, as with so many renderings, I do not have a problem with either "kill" or "murder." Both are a proper translation of the Hebrew word "raw-tsakh" and have to do with putting another person to death. The King James Version translates this word as "kill" (Exod. 20:13 and Deut. 5:17) and...

    What does this scripture mean and how do you interpret it?

    It should be noted that ALL the versions, including the NKJV, NIV, ESV, and NASB, translate this same Hebrew word as " TO KILL" in other passages. One such example is found in Numbers 35:27. Throughout this chapter the same word found in Exodus 20:13, is used 16 times and variously translated as...

    Ecc_2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. Ecc_3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the...

    Revision Revised and it's implications on modern critical texts.

    Heres another example: 1 Timothy 3:16 New International Version (NIV) 16 Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit,[a] was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the...

    Revision Revised and it's implications on modern critical texts.

    How many of you have read Revision Revise by Dean Burgon? http://www.gutenberg.org/files/36722/36722-h/36722-h.html Extremely Factual and puts a nail in the coffin of critical greek texts, it destroys the Wescott and Hort theory. I've also been going through the NIV as i have been reading this...

    When does the rapture take place?

    I dont think you can necesarily prove that 1Cor15:52 is talking about the rapture, it seems to be more talking about the resurrection of the dead. I dont see how you can connect this to 1 Th 4:6

    What does this scripture mean and how do you interpret it?

    Context is a great thing when it comes to root of all evil, the context is that it is about false prophets. Also i fail to see the issue with exodus 20:13
