    Genesis Interesting Find: from a "Chinese" reader perspective

    Psalm 22

    if one could read Hebrew, why would one read greek? The point is in hebrew text says "young" nothing else matters. Personally if Matthew didnt quote from Isaiah 7:14, just stands alone applied to Mary, will have much less dispute.

    Psalm 22

    i have to agree with eliyahu on this (logical approach of 'facts' and not based on further theory). Key word is the origin language doesnt says any "virgin" yet the nt 'hebrew' native author able to misquoted somehow allow confusion for latter generation... makes no sense...

    Psalm 22

    again, if a "jewish" quote from hebrew text yet unable to read or understand the difference between "young" or "virgin" in HEBREW. unless this "jewish" on purpose mislead non hebrew at that time with "virgin" instead? anyway as a "outsider" standpoint, only the hebrew knows and understands the...

    Psalm 22

    that brings the point that is Matthew even jewish to begin with? a jewish cant read whether is young or virgin is really suspicious of this Matthew character... logical thinking... newer Christian side of those translation is honest and not repeating the mistake from bad source is commendable

    Psalm 22

    the point is in the original text says "young" and not "virgin", thats the main point. translation doesnt matter anymore. some newer translation even accepted the original text and leave a commentary to reflect this: GNT, RSV to name a few. Isaiah 7:14 NET [14] For this reason the sovereign...

    Psalm 22

    i personally think you missed his point.

    Psalm 22

    logically, original language is the key, other translated has no value. (been missing for a long time due to folks visiting for 3 weeks and been traveling too)

    Genesis Interesting Find: from a "Chinese" reader perspective

    hello Matthias, thank you for following up with me. due to recent work related travel, been caught mr busy and i havent go back to my studies on the genesis. rest assured, the interest is still burning and will take some time to use up this 'fuel'. Even my two friends' invitation for free...

    Psalm 22

    Personally, I think Eliyahu's article is well documented from native hebrew perspective. after reading i do not find any complicated language terms or jargon to explain, short sharp and precise. Unlike other articles i read (while researching/studying) from christian perspective, is always...

    Why no one is going to go to hell

    To be fair, equally from other religions, have their followers killed for believing/following what they believe is true. every religions teaches every one to be a good person and by being good will get their end game reward - minus that nobody knows for sure until they are dead - and so far no...

    Psalm 22

    i read his post with extreme interest as he is native Hebrew hence what he writes as what is to be understood. non hebrew native has to rely on translation hence we do not get the original meaning. new testament is written in greek which still puzzles me. i read elsewhere that the Israelite got...

    Genesis Interesting Find: from a "Chinese" reader perspective

    ‭Genesis 4:7 RSV‬ [7] If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is couching at the door; its desire is for you, but you must master it.” what is considered do well? ‭Genesis 4:9 RSV‬ [9] Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do...

    Genesis Interesting Find: from a "Chinese" reader perspective

    ‭Genesis 1:31 RSV‬ [31] And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day. evening then morning = new day. kind of opposite to what we know to be new day - morning or 12am. something new and never came across a new...

    God is probably more than three?

    sounds like i am into the rabbit hole personally, it's human that makes it complex to understand. religious teachings should be (personal opinion) as easy as possible to allow less room to be misunderstood (to make this bad world better if more people follow). after reading so much threads in...
