Only have a few minutes and thought I'd check in (mornin' and peace to you, all!)... but HAVE to comment here!
First... THANK you, dear, dear LQ (mornin' and peace to you!)... for looking at the GREEK! It is almost IMPERATIVE that we DO... if we want to dispute what the FALSE prophets say various verses state/mean! In referring to the Greek, we can SHOW (those who may not yet hear... or cannot bring themselves to turn AWAY from these imposters and turn TO Christ) how the words have been mistransliterated! Thank you for taking the time, because I know it can be time consuming... at first. Once one gets into the practice, though, not only does it become quicker/easier... but HELPS in "hearing". Because the Bible wasn't written in English, at ALL... and even the Greek is GREATLY mistransliterated (from the ancient Hebrew tongue of "Aramaic" - which I learned is NOT a combination of Hebrew and Chaldean/Babylonian... but is actually the OLDEST form of the Hebrew tongue, after the Phonecian language).
If one can learn even a bit of the older languages, one can often see where a word that has several definitions was mistransliterated with the WRONG definition. And one can also often hear... "why": to mislead, IF POSSIBLE, EVEN the chosen ones!
Quote:
there are those who TAKE AUTHORITY when it is not given to them. In the case of the GB, they just recently TOOK such authority when they declared themselves the 'faithful and discreet slave'.
Yes! Which is WHY they are the ones of THIS generation that fulfill our dears Lord's words recorded at
Matthew 23:1-35, and regarding your observation, especially
verse 2, which, in their OWN Bible version, states:
"The scribes and the Pharisees SEAT THEMSELVES in the seat of Moses."They have made THEMSELVES "mediator" for the members of the WTBTS; yet, we are told that we have ONE mediator between us and God... Christ... Who is the HOLY One of Israel and Holy Spirit, JAHESHUA, the Chosen One of JAH (MischaJah). And those poor sheep will NEVER "get" that until THEY say:
"BLESSED is HE... who comes... in the name of JAH." Matthew 23:39; Psalm 118:26Again, thank
you for your comments, dear one!
Peace to you!
YSSFS of Christ,
