Literally the only reference that any of the New Testament books were written in Aramaic, is a second century Christian, Papias, stating that 'Matthew collected the sayings in the Hebrew language'......

The text doesn't say the events of 70 AD would be glorious... it says that the son of man will come in great power and glory. You're equivocating the two.

At his examination by the high priest,...

My apologies; I'll try to avoid repeating any previous thoughts.


Revelation 20 does the same thing, using 'resurrection' first in a metaphorical sense, then later describing actual resurrection...

It wasn't overlooked, it simply wasn't addressed. The same Greek phrase for 'foundation of the world' is used a few times in the NT, and while not every instance indicates a specific meaning, there...

The text doesn't say, so it's not wise to make a guess and assume it to be true.

You'd have to ask the other nine.

God's glory was found in the destruction of Egypt (Exodus 14.4). God's glory is found in the death of seven thousand people (Revelation 11.13). The glory does not come in the death itself. It is...

The question you're asking is one you've asked before, only regarding Isaiah 7.14, Hosea 11.1b, (specifically mentioned in the above post), Daniel 7.13, etc. Just take what I said in those cases, and...

The same could be said for Matthew's use of Isaiah 7.14 or Hosea 11.1b, despite that neither of those prophecies being, in their original context, about Jesus. The single biggest problem that...

The center of a chiasmus can be either a pair, or a single point. One or the other is not required, but typically if the center is a single point, that sometimes means it is meant to be one of, if...

That is how I understanding what Jesus was saying, yes.


No, nothing in the Olivet Discourse implies a particular chronology. However, it is necessary to note that Matthew and Luke are elaborated...

You say you're appealing to 'good translators', but you're really appealing to a translation that accommodates for what you already believe.

The ESV is rare when it translates the Greek word απο...

What he's presenting to you are proof-texts. A proof-text is exactly that: when someone wants to prove something to others, they get trigger happy and list out texts of the Bible that they think...

I didn't say this...

John's theology in the Revelation isn't systematic; he doesn't try to cover every possible contingency (what about babies?), or even to present a wholly consistent idea (are...

Is your interpretation of the ESV translation the final authority?


He also specifically says there 'no longer remains a sacrifice for sins', meaning there once was a sacrifice for their sins...

I'm drawing on the theology of the Revelation as a whole, when I explain how the book belongs to the Lamb, particularly his statement to the seven churches about not blotting people out of the book...

This is a distinction you have to read into the text. It is not what the author of Hebrews actually says. What he says is that people are rejecting what they once had.

There are five 'warning'...

Jeremiah is prophesying about the downfall of the historical city Babylon in the historical kingdom of Chaldea, which happened in the sixth century BC. Jeremiah explicitly says that Babylon/Chaldea...

If you genuinely think that the Zechariah 14 describes Jesus protecting the inhabitants of Jerusalem, then no, the people in the city would not have the mark of the beast.

That said, Zechariah 14...

I think the thing you're asking others to do would really require for each person to write an entire book. It's easier to just naturally explain our thoughts in discussions as they come and go,...

From the OP: 'This is somewhat similar to the idea found in other NT texts, but that's not what I'm getting into.'

I didn't say it wasn't true. I said that it wasn't the focus of the OP.

Quoting the KJV isn't the same thing as actually addressing the OP.


That's not an accurate summary of the OP in the slightest.


Right... Why do you think this is what I'm doing? I...

You're free to disagree how you see fit, but I'm not sure why this ad hominem was necessary at all. What, exactly, is 'warped' about my theology?

I know what the KJV says, but you didn't address anything from the OP. Even the way the KJV reads can be understood according to the conclusion I came to above.

That's a new way of reading Romans 5.14 for me as well. My immediate reaction there is that Paul's point from 5.12-21 is typology between Adam and Jesus, so I'm still inclined to think Paul intends...

This is a thread strictly focusing on an exegesis of a certain Biblical passage. I made this thread separately because I don't want to derail the focus of percho's own thread, which has a premise...

Let's get to the specifics of the argument being made:


Starting off the argument with the conclusion is circular reasoning. It's also an immediate contradiction to Scripture on two accounts,...

It's incredibly easy to grab sound-bytes and proof-texts, toss them into the fray without any attempt at exegesis, and call it 'case closed'.

If you aren't willing to have a discussion on the...

Right. There was no punctuation in the original text, nor verse and chapter divisions.

Zechariah divides itself into five main sections, as determined by introductory statements of each section.

God.

The 'in your midst' language is one of the covenant blessings of the Law. Compare, for example, Leviticus 26.3-13 where God proclaims the blessings that will come upon Israel if they obey the...
