Toddbt12y1 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 A) Mourn. Also, depends on version. Link to post Share on other sites
Author M30USA Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yea, it's either mourn or wail. Definitely a negative connotation word. The only problem I have is with The New Living Translation, which translates it as "mourns for", thereby making it seem as if his arrival is welcomed. All the other translations clearly show otherwise--not just by the phrase, itself, but by the context of the subsequent sentence. Link to post Share on other sites

TheFinalWord Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 haha it's the longest name in the bible (some say Ish. 9:6 is the longest name if you take the trans-literal interpretation) If you want to know how to pronounce, here is the MP3...(the first time I heard this I was like, what? And I repeated the track like 12 times until I could say it lol, yes I'm a nerd like that ) Mahershalalhashbaz, it means "He has made haste to the plunder!"

Well I have studied the KJB cover to cover, about six times in a row, in just two years, not counting the past. Usually im better at finding verses then memory. My speciality is prophecy tho. I can ask an interesting question, but it's off topic. Where there cities on Earth, before mankind? It's in the book of Jeremiah Freebie: the book of Jeremiah we all have(any translation) is a copy of a copy of a copy. The original was destroyed in fire, the second in water...granted...off topic Link to post Share on other sites

(Rev 1:7) a) mourn b) be afraid c) rejoice d) sing praises Quoting my own post, lol. I consider this verse to be highly theologically significant. Why? Because many people carry this idea that, deep down, everybody really loves God but we just kind of get mixed up in the mess. But this verse paints a totally different picture. Jesus, our savior and creator, will return to earth and be received with...what? Mourning? Not joy and relief? Think about that. Link to post Share on other sites

Author M30USA Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Where there cities on Earth, before mankind? It's in the book of Jeremiah You CAN make a Biblical case for the presence of life on earth long before Adam--even human life. There is no specification as to the elapsed time between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. If you consider that Adam and Eve were told to "repopulate" the earth, when it seemingly hadn't even been populated, you start to wonder. There is also another verse in one of the major prophets which hints that God refreshes and recreates the face of the earth. My own theory is that God might have "tweaked" something in the DNA and spirit of a human-like animal to bring about modern man (Adam). If I am wrong here, it doesn't mean the Bible is wrong. It's just my own theory. There are two contradictory ideas at play in science: 1) Human life has been around for a LONG, LONG time--longer than most creationists like to admit, but 2) Modern life (as we know it) with art, government, science, and great intellect has only been around for a few thousand years and appears to have literally sprung out of nowhere 6,000-10,000 years ago. How do you reconcile these two truths? By considering that, while evolution as a whole is false and a lie, it might contain a partial truth that God "tweaked" modern man (starting with Adam) from animals. This is a theory that I am currently looking into to see if it lines up with the Bible and science. Any criticism from either side is welcomed. Link to post Share on other sites
Toddbt12y1 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Well, as much as our own belief plays out: As a christian, the bible is one's authority. It actually says, that He(God), created the first man(Adam), from the "dust of the Earth." This would defer any evolution tweaking. As well: We do know that humans have been around for a very long time, yet, we do not exactly know when Adam was around(no time was ever truly given). This is the Answer: Yes cities existed. But for Lucifer and his angels, whom where tenders of Earth. It is found in Jeremiah, and backed up in Jude. I can site evidence: I.e. scripture if you wish: I just don't know it off the top of my head. Nonetheless: It is found in Jeremiah, backed up by Jude. Link to post Share on other sites

He said the earth was Satans. I'm aware of the angel presence on earth prior to man. However you're going to run into resistance from even CHRISTIANS on this. It begs the question of what happened to them. And if you say God disembodied them into mere spirits you are forced to get into the whole Genesis 6 Nephilim debate. Good luck.

Toddbt12y1 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Not at all. Plus, I am capable of defeating the Sons of God debate. That is drawing something very different to what I was implying. Whoever said, that these spirits needed a flesh body to dwell in a house? These houses could even be spirit based. As of the sons of God and daughters of men debate: Use scripture linking. The sons of Seth(himself included) followed God and were called "Sons of God." Which anyone who follows God is His son. The daughters of men(mostlikely came from adam or Seth's brother Cain). They did not follow God, thus, called man. Now: Giants? Just because there are giant Nepehilim so called, doesn't mean they came from Angels. Angels do not reproduce, as Biblical evidence suggests. Nor do demons(fallen angels). Oh, as of the cities? God utterly destroyed them, during Lucifer's rebellion. Link to post Share on other sites

I could honestly speak off the cuff for 60 minutes on this subject alone. When I have time I will show you that there is no debate. You can prove it grammatically from the Hebrew alone. Plus the line of Seth view was not the original view and didn't even show up until 450 AD. I will get back to you because this subject requires a lot of time. If you honestly want to know, we can discuss this in PM. Link to post Share on other sites
Toddbt12y1 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I have studied the whole Bible extremely intently. You could argue that point, and I could argue one too: Jesus Himself said we'd be like the angels, neither marrying nor partaking in marriage. That implies a lot. You seem frustrated. It is good to study one thing, it shows a keen interest in it. However, there is plenty more in the Bible to show otherwise as well. I know when a person is frustrated: That's usually when they say my name, lol. I am positive a spirit cannot reproduce. You could use said spirit entering a body, then reproducing. Yet, it wouldn't be the spirit's children. I already know well what you believe on this subject, and you probably can see where I stand. I highly doubt any one of us is about to convince the other. Besides, these giants where destroyed by God, in the Wars of the Lord. As well as by Israel later. Link to post Share on other sites
