Instead of debating the meaning of the Lexeme "Traitor" why not checkout how a dictionary defines the term?

Hey CM,

Thanks for the humorous response Wolfgang! I agree with you that she speak way too fast, in fact faster than most native speakers of English I have met. Like you I think non-American's know a lot more about the USA than American's know about the…
QUESTION: Is there any relationship between the Hebrew Bible/LXX and the NT?
ANSWER: Sure...
(1) the NT writers quote and make claims based on the assumption that the promises found in the Hebrew Bible/LXX are valid.
(2a) The C…
Great post CM! Thanks for sharing! I had not run across this interpretation of Matthew 16:18 before.
Greetings CM,
I think it is simply better to start with:
" What does the Biblical literature teach?" or since ''GOD/LORD" is clear mentioned in Biblical literature one might start with:
…Other times I have found that people attack things or ideas that were never even present in the Biblical text but that they think some how represent the text of the Bible.
CM, thank you for the feedback!
This is the type of healthy feedback/discussion rather than cantankerous debate that Christians I believe are in need of.
Grace and Peace
CM,
The Shitat Habechinot approach is not what is described in that quote of yours. The Shitat Habechinot theory speaks not of contradictions but of aspects and voices of God.
…Very well though-out and articulate response reformed!
In Acts 17:28 Paul quoted Epimenides' Hymn to Zeus and in I Corinthians 15:33 Paul quotes Menander. Does this mean the texts these brief quotations are taken from should also be understood as lost books of the Bible? In my opinion no, because the…
I find the concept of the so called lost books of 'the Bible' to be a bit misinformed . For, one there was never a time in Christian history nor even today when all of Christendom accepted and shared the same canon of Scripture or rather Bible. T…
Even if you had the "more than some Christians" who enjoys "watching moderated turn based formal debates", where would you find the debaters? Will they be equally skilled and committe…
I am sure that more than some Christians enjoy watching moderated turn based formal debates. This is something we do not have on these forums. If, we had moderated turned based debates and then when those debate were ove…
Yes indeed for "without morpho…

The title(question) of this thread in my opinion represents a false dichotomy. For, Biblical literature is made up of a variety of genres and writing styles. However, Biblical literature on one hand isn't written like modern theological referenc…
Before I attempt to answer the questions in the OP I would like to provide a few excerpts from my personal library that have influenced my thought on the issue raised in the OP (here's a fw):

Greetings CM
Here in Japan a sizeable percentage the population claims to be Buddhist.
Almost all of the homes I visited in Japan have a butsudan (A Buddhist Altar). And, many Business, and stores have a Kamidana (a shelf Shrine). us…
Greetings Wolfgang,
<…My concern was about Jewish roots/understanding of the Scriptures in essence meaning that one follows and adheres by OT Scripture (keeping of commandments, keeping of feasts, etc.)
The inspired NT scripture were mostly written by individuals who grew up ethnically and religiously Jewish. The whole concept of a Moshiach (Messiah) and often NT's style of argument makes little sense outside of that context and in experience i…
Thanks for the added Question CM!
I think both the current forum and the one that preceded this one suffered from the lack moderators. The whole concept that the individual members will somehow moderate themselves and the forums when their paradigms and theologies differ greatly …
CM,
I have appreciated conversing with you and I hope we can some how stay in touch God willing.
Grace and Peace to you!
ASN_032,
Thanks for your reply!
However, I think you may have misunderstood the reason for the verse list/references:
at least provide some little extra information. In the תַּנַ״ךְTanakh or Miqra מִק…
In addition to user ASN_032's astute on point post above below I have posted the some of the Hebrew words and references to some of their occurrences in Scripture. Why? As ASN_032 rightly points out the nuance of a word is often …
Question/Request from user ASN_032
If you could show me any proof from the bible that it meant "side" rather than "rib" I could accept it,
