Psalm23

Quote from: "Recusant"
Quote from: "Psalm23"in Luke 14:26, JESUS used the word "SIN'AH" in HEBREW that means "to love lesser than.."

Interesting.  What is your source for this?  It is generally agreed that the language used by the historical Jesus was Aramaic, not Hebrew.  Then we have the fact that the book of Luke is written in Greek in the original, not Hebrew.  So how do you arrive at the conclusion that Jesus used the word 'SIN'AH' in this passage?

I think that many fundamentalist Christians actually consider the King James Version the definitive (perhaps even divinely inspired) version of the bible.  Are you calling them all fools?

In fact, in the original, the Greek word (μισεῖ) is clearly and unequivocally translated as "hate."

Now you can add me to your list of fools.  

If it weren't 'against the law,' I might consider pointing out that your post was ingenuous at best, and a less charitable take on it would get into questioning the motivations for such a blatant misrepresentation of fact.
Listen, I dont have much time today.. but I will leave you with one note.. ok?

Jesus obeyed the law, and the law is "HONOR THY MOTHER AND FATHER!" not hate them!

I'll get back to you on the word "hate, miseo, sin'ah" later on..

Sophus

Psalm, this is the whole crux that is being made. The Bible contradicts itself.... sometimes those contradictions are appalling and some folks claim somehow manage to "believe" both  :crazy:

Heretical Rants

Quote from: "Sophus"Believing some simple element found on the periodic table has always existed is a lot less of a stretch than believing a magical man has been around forever (and at some point along the line of infinity decided to make us :D ).
I don't believe either.  I believe that energy has been around forever.
