There are three things that are never satisfied. 24:15.300 --> 24:25.300 Yea, four things say not, it is enough. The grave and the barren womb, the earth, that is not filled with water, and the fire that saith not, it is enough. 24:25.800 --> 24:35.000 The eye that mocketh at his father and despises to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. 24:35.400 --> 24:41.240 There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, for which I know not. 24:41.240 --> 24:46.280 The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a rock, the way of a ship in 24:46.280 --> 24:49.560 the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid. 24:49.560 --> 24:52.100 Such is the way of an adulterous woman. 24:52.100 --> 24:55.880 She eateth and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness. 24:55.880 --> 25:00.080 For three things the earth is disquieting, for four which it cannot bear. 25:00.400 --> 25:05.520 for a servant when he reigneth, and a fool when he is filled with meat. 25:05.520 --> 25:12.560 For an odious woman, when she is married and in handmaid, that is heir to her mistress. 25:12.560 --> 25:17.920 There be four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise. 25:17.920 --> 25:22.960 The ants are people, not strong, yet they prepare their meat. In the summer, the conies are but a 25:22.960 --> 25:27.360 feeble folk, yet they make their houses in the rocks. The locusts have no king. 25:28.400 --> 25:31.640 Yet they go forth, all of them by bands. 25:31.640 --> 25:36.520 The spider taketh hold with her hands, and is in Cain's palaces. 25:36.520 --> 25:42.040 There be three things which go well, yea, four are comely and going. 25:42.040 --> 25:47.240 A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any. 25:47.240 --> 25:53.840 A grey hound, and he goat also, and a king, against whom there is no rising up. 25:54.000 --> 26:00.480 Thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand 26:00.480 --> 26:01.720 upon thy mouth. 26:01.720 --> 26:08.020 Surely the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, and the raining of the nose bringeth 26:08.020 --> 26:11.760 forth blood, so the forcing of wrath bringeth forth strife. 26:11.760 --> 26:13.760 Brother Wade, could you press to the service? 26:28.800 --> 26:33.680 Amen. You are in the book of Proverbs chapter 30. Look at verse number five, Proverbs 35. 26:33.680 --> 26:34.480 The Bible says, 26:34.480 --> 26:38.960 Every word of God is pure. He has a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 26:38.960 --> 26:42.040 Add thou not unto his words, lest he 26:42.040 --> 26:45.280 reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 26:45.280 --> 26:48.680 And at this church we are King James only. 26:48.680 --> 26:53.440 And we must be careful not adding on to what the Bible doesn't say. 26:53.440 --> 26:56.440 Okay? And we believe the King James version. 26:56.800 --> 27:02.300 is the only version for the English speaking people that the Bible is perfect, 27:02.300 --> 27:04.800 that is in Aaron, that there's no contradictions in it. 27:04.800 --> 27:08.300 So, till this morning, I want to preach a sermon called, 27:08.300 --> 27:09.300 PELISIMI! 27:10.100 --> 27:13.240 or someone will pronounce it as polysemy. 27:13.240 --> 27:17.720 OK, P-O-L-Y-S-E-M-Y, polysemy. 27:17.720 --> 27:21.400 Now, the word polysemy comes from the root word polys, 27:21.400 --> 27:23.780 polys meaning many. 27:23.780 --> 27:28.080 And then semy comes from sema, means meaning. 27:28.080 --> 27:33.100 So the word polysemy simply means many meanings, 27:33.100 --> 27:35.800 multiple meanings, multiple definitions. 27:35.800 --> 27:38.100 And basically, policy means 27:38.100 --> 27:41.700 is when one word has multiple meanings 27:41.700 --> 27:46.820 and the intended meaning is determined by the context. 27:46.820 --> 27:48.780 And let me give you some familiar examples 27:48.780 --> 27:51.100 in the English language. 27:51.100 --> 27:55.660 For example, the word bank can mean a financial institution, 27:55.660 --> 27:56.900 right? 27:56.900 --> 28:00.700 But it can also mean a side of the river. 28:00.700 --> 28:02.500 How do you know that based on the context? 28:02.900 --> 28:06.380 The word head can mean a part of your body, right? 28:06.380 --> 28:08.860 But it can also mean a leader over something. 28:08.860 --> 28:10.980 You are the head of that department, 28:10.980 --> 28:14.500 or you are in the, or you have a head, okay? 28:14.500 --> 28:17.300 And the verb run can mean running physically, 28:17.300 --> 28:20.260 like running a 5K, running a marathon, 28:20.260 --> 28:22.580 or running a business, right? 28:22.580 --> 28:26.580 Again, two different definitions based on the context. 28:26.580 --> 28:29.660 And the word church can mean the gathering 28:29.660 --> 28:30.900 of the baptized belief. 28:30.900 --> 28:34.400 believers or the building where people meet. 28:34.400 --> 28:36.420 Now some holier than thou people will say, 28:36.420 --> 28:39.760 you know, the word church always mean the people. 28:39.760 --> 28:41.880 They should never say, you know, 28:41.880 --> 28:43.800 we go to church on Sunday. 28:44.100 --> 28:46.480 You should say, we go to the church building on Sunday. 28:46.480 --> 28:47.940 But the Bible disagrees with you, 28:47.940 --> 28:51.320 because the Bible says the house of God 28:51.320 --> 28:52.860 is the church of the living God. 28:52.860 --> 28:55.760 There's nothing wrong to refer to church as the church 28:55.760 --> 28:57.900 building where people gather. 28:57.900 --> 29:00.580 Again, depends on the context. 29:00.580 --> 29:03.580 And let me give you a funny example. 29:03.580 --> 29:06.780 I'm going to give you a phrase, a sentence. 29:06.780 --> 29:08.660 Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo. 29:08.660 --> 29:10.780 Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, buffalo. 29:11.800 --> 29:13.760 Eight buffalos, okay? 29:13.760 --> 29:15.580 Every word is spelled buffalo. 29:15.580 --> 29:17.020 Exact same word. 29:17.020 --> 29:21.340 But each one functions with different meanings 29:21.340 --> 29:24.180 and different grammatical rows. 29:24.180 --> 29:27.180 Because the word buffalo can mean the city of buffalo, 29:27.180 --> 29:28.020 right? 29:28.020 --> 29:30.980 New York, someone is from Buffalo. 29:30.980 --> 29:34.040 But the word buffalo can also mean the animal, bison. 29:34.860 --> 29:37.120 But the buffalo can also be a verb, 29:37.120 --> 29:39.660 means bully, intimidate. 29:40.400 --> 29:44.360 So this eighth buffalo sentence means 29:44.360 --> 29:47.560 buffalo bison that other buffalo bison bully 29:47.560 --> 29:49.340 themselves bully buffalo bison. 29:50.540 --> 29:52.680 Same word, okay? 29:52.680 --> 29:54.720 And here's another example. 29:55.760 --> 29:59.440 The man left his watch on the watch 29:59.440 --> 30:03.300 while he went to watch the watch. 30:04.400 --> 30:10.600 Here, watch can mean a timepiece that you wear, 30:10.600 --> 30:14.840 or a period or duty to guard something, 30:14.840 --> 30:20.560 or means to observe, or it means a person who is keeping guard. 30:20.560 --> 30:21.700 Different meaning. 30:21.700 --> 30:23.920 That's what I mean by polysemy. 30:23.920 --> 30:26.000 One word can have different meanings, 30:26.000 --> 30:31.400 depends on the context, because words don't exist by themselves. 30:31.900 --> 30:37.260 Words exist in sentences, and sentences exist in passages, 30:37.260 --> 30:40.900 and passages have context. 30:40.900 --> 30:44.840 And this is crucial when studying the Bible, 30:44.840 --> 30:48.060 because here's what pseudo-intellectuals like to do. 30:48.060 --> 30:52.100 They will say things like, well, the King James says this. 30:52.100 --> 30:54.600 If you go back to the Greek, it says something different. 30:54.900 --> 30:58.740 Or the Greek word literally means this, 30:58.740 --> 31:01.160 so the King James is wrong. 31:01.160 --> 31:04.700 And most of the time, the person who say these things 31:04.700 --> 31:06.260 don't even know Greek. 31:06.260 --> 31:08.940 They will look up Strong's number, right? 31:08.940 --> 31:11.420 They found one definition they like, 31:11.420 --> 31:14.980 and now they think they're qualified to correct the Bible. 31:15.300 --> 31:17.980 But if you understand how polysemy works, 31:17.980 --> 31:20.460 the same Greek or Hebrew word doesn't 31:20.460 --> 31:22.780 mean they always have the same meaning 31:22.780 --> 31:24.460 in every single context. 31:24.460 --> 31:27.140 Therefore, the same Greek or Hebrew word 31:27.140 --> 31:32.700 doesn't have the exact English translation in every context. 31:32.700 --> 31:34.300 Now go to Genesis chapter 1. 31:34.300 --> 31:37.800 Genesis chapter 1. 31:37.800 --> 31:38.620 So point number 1. 31:39.400 --> 31:43.880 Spirit can have, spirit can mean different things. 31:43.880 --> 31:46.960 Spirit can mean different things. 31:46.960 --> 31:49.040 I will give you some easy examples 31:49.040 --> 31:51.800 before I get into some controversial ones, okay? 31:51.800 --> 31:53.560 Genesis chapter one, look at verse one, 31:53.560 --> 31:55.240 famous verse, Genesis 1,1. 31:56.000 --> 32:00.220 In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth, 32:00.220 --> 32:02.780 and the earth was without form and void, 32:02.780 --> 32:05.100 and darkness was upon the face of the deep, 32:05.100 --> 32:10.460 and the spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 32:10.460 --> 32:12.940 Now here, the word spirit, if you're into Hebrew, 32:12.940 --> 32:16.860 that's the Hebrew word ruach, which doesn't really matter. 32:16.860 --> 32:17.360 But. 32:17.360 --> 32:17.500 Thanks for watching! 32:18.000 --> 32:21.920 But here, we clearly understand that the spirit is talking 32:21.920 --> 32:24.160 about the Holy Spirit. 32:24.160 --> 32:25.520 Because what's the context? 32:25.520 --> 32:27.080 Of God, right? 32:27.080 --> 32:32.120 However, if you think the underlying Hebrew word only 32:32.120 --> 32:37.760 refers to the Holy Spirit, then it proves you don't know Hebrew. 32:37.760 --> 32:41.000 Turn to Ecclesiastes chapter 3. 32:41.000 --> 32:42.560 Ecclesiastes chapter 3. 32:47.000 --> 32:52.000 Ecclesiastes chapter 3, look at verse 21. 32:54.600 --> 32:57.960 The same Hebrew word is also translated to this. 32:57.960 --> 33:02.360 Ecclesiastes 3, verse 21, the Bible says this. 33:02.360 --> 33:07.760 Who knoweth the spirit lowercase of man that goeth upward, 33:07.760 --> 33:10.960 and the spirit lowercase of the beast 33:10.960 --> 33:12.760 that goeth downward to the earth? 33:12.760 --> 33:14.600 That's the exact same Hebrew word. 33:14.600 --> 33:14.800 Thanks for watching! 33:15.300 --> 33:19.980 It was translated to the Holy Spirit, or capital S, of God. 33:19.980 --> 33:22.700 But here, it's translated as lowercase. 33:22.700 --> 33:24.300 Because what's the context? 33:24.300 --> 33:27.940 It's talking about of man and of the beast. 33:27.940 --> 33:32.100 So again, the same Hebrew word can mean literal God, 33:32.100 --> 33:35.540 but can also mean just your average man spirit, animal 33:35.540 --> 33:37.100 spirit. 33:37.100 --> 33:39.060 Depends on the context. 33:39.060 --> 33:40.220 Now, go to Genesis chapter 8. 33:40.220 --> 33:41.460 Genesis chapter 8. 33:43.300 --> 33:45.060 Now, you might think this is simple, 33:45.060 --> 33:46.860 because the context is clear. 33:46.860 --> 33:48.660 However, the same Hebrew word is also 33:48.660 --> 33:51.980 translated to something way different. 33:51.980 --> 33:54.900 Genesis chapter 8. 33:54.900 --> 33:57.520 That's why you cannot just go to Strong's Dictionary 33:57.520 --> 33:59.500 and pick up any definition you want, 33:59.500 --> 34:05.060 because you will lead to many heresies. 34:05.060 --> 34:06.500 Genesis chapter 8, look at verse 1. 34:08.300 --> 34:11.120 The Bible says this, and God remembered Noah 34:11.120 --> 34:14.080 and every living thing and all the cattle that 34:14.080 --> 34:17.680 was with him in the ark, and God made a wind. 34:17.680 --> 34:18.960 Same Hebrew word. 34:18.960 --> 34:21.160 And God made a wind to pass over the earth, 34:21.160 --> 34:24.520 and the waters assuaged. 34:24.520 --> 34:26.120 So you see, if you don't know Hebrew, 34:26.120 --> 34:27.840 you will run into all kinds of problems. 34:28.400 --> 34:31.040 Because that Hebrew word is a polysemy. 34:31.040 --> 34:33.880 So that Hebrew word has a range of meanings, 34:33.880 --> 34:40.080 which includes spirit, capital S, spirit, lowercase s, wind, 34:40.080 --> 34:41.760 and even breath. 34:41.760 --> 34:46.360 So the word, you know, ruach, is something, 34:46.360 --> 34:49.840 based on Genesis chapter 8, this word is something 34:49.840 --> 34:52.640 God causes to pass over the earth, 34:52.640 --> 34:55.600 resulting in the flood water subsiding. 34:56.400 --> 35:01.720 So the context dictates that wind is the natural English sense 35:01.720 --> 35:04.960 of the Hebrew word, right, by its immediate context. 35:04.960 --> 35:07.040 Because the King James translators 35:07.040 --> 35:09.760 were also language experts, right? 35:09.760 --> 35:11.560 Because the context dictates this 35:11.560 --> 35:17.720 is something that would result in the floodwater subsiding. 35:17.720 --> 35:21.720 So wind is the natural English sense of that word. 35:22.100 --> 35:24.100 Now go to Ezekiel 37. 35:24.100 --> 35:25.900 Ezekiel 37. 35:28.000 --> 35:30.680 It would be a horrible translation 35:30.680 --> 35:33.480 if they translated Genesis 1-2 as, 35:33.480 --> 35:36.520 and the earth was without form and void, 35:36.520 --> 35:39.140 and darkness was upon the face of the deep, 35:39.140 --> 35:42.520 and the wind of God move upon the face of the waters. 35:42.520 --> 35:45.720 That would be a horrible translation, right? 35:45.720 --> 35:48.200 Now, let me give you another interesting one. 35:49.000 --> 35:52.240 I will now show you every single example this morning, 35:52.240 --> 35:53.240 but only some highlights. 35:53.240 --> 35:55.120 I think that's pretty interesting. 35:55.120 --> 35:56.560 You are in Ezekiel chapter 37. 35:56.560 --> 35:58.480 Look at verse 9. 35:58.480 --> 35:59.940 Ezekiel 37, verse 9. 35:59.940 --> 36:03.680 The Bible says, then said he, that's the Lord, 36:03.680 --> 36:07.640 unto me, Ezekiel, prophesy unto the wing. 36:07.640 --> 36:08.620 Same word. 36:08.620 --> 36:11.520 Prophesy, son of man, and say to the wing. 36:11.520 --> 36:12.620 Same word. 36:12.620 --> 36:15.840 Thus said the Lord God, come from the four winds. 36:16.900 --> 36:20.660 Same word, O BREATH, same Hebrew word. 36:20.660 --> 36:23.700 And breathe upon this land that they may live. 36:23.700 --> 36:29.460 So wind, winds and breath are all the same underlying Hebrew word. 36:29.460 --> 36:31.460 It would be a bad translation. 36:32.100 --> 36:35.620 if they translated this as, then he said unto me, 36:35.620 --> 36:38.660 prophesy unto the spirit, prophesies unto the man, 36:38.660 --> 36:41.300 and say to the breath, thus saith the Lord God, 36:41.300 --> 36:43.700 come from the four breathes, O spirit, 36:43.700 --> 36:45.620 and breathe upon the slain that let me live. 36:45.620 --> 36:47.300 It'll be a horrible translation, right? 36:47.300 --> 36:49.060 You have to determine the context, 36:49.060 --> 36:54.100 because again, the translators are language experts. 36:54.100 --> 36:56.420 They know more Greek or Hebrew than any of you. 36:58.100 --> 37:02.580 In fact, just a few verses later, look at verse 14. 37:02.580 --> 37:07.260 Ezekiel 37, verse 14 says, and shall put my spirit, 37:07.260 --> 37:11.060 same word, but the context dictate that something that's 37:11.060 --> 37:12.940 of God, OK? 37:12.940 --> 37:15.660 Because ruach is a polysemy. 37:15.660 --> 37:18.180 It can have a range of meanings depending on the context. 37:18.180 --> 37:18.200 you 37:18.800 --> 37:23.800 That's why do not be deceived when people tell you if you go back to the Greek. 37:23.800 --> 37:26.800 This is what the word literally means. 37:26.800 --> 37:29.800 Why can't you just trust the translators? 37:29.800 --> 37:32.800 They were way smarter than any of you. 37:32.800 --> 37:36.800 Now I'm going to go to Matthew chapter 1. 37:36.800 --> 37:39.800 So I said spirit can mean different things. 37:39.800 --> 37:41.800 Number 2. 37:41.800 --> 37:45.800 Angel does not always mean a heavenly angel. 37:46.800 --> 37:50.080 Angel does not always mean a heavenly angel. 37:50.080 --> 37:52.920 Matthew chapter 1, we'll cover verse 20. 37:52.920 --> 37:55.920 Matthew 1, 20 says this, 37:55.920 --> 37:57.900 but while he thought on these things... 37:58.000 --> 37:59.200 That's talking about Joseph. 37:59.200 --> 38:02.920 Behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, 38:02.920 --> 38:05.440 saying, Joseph, thou son of David, 38:05.440 --> 38:07.560 fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife, 38:07.560 --> 38:11.920 for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 38:11.920 --> 38:15.560 Now here, angel is the Greek word, angleos. 38:15.560 --> 38:20.200 Now the context points to a heavenly angel. 38:21.200 --> 38:24.800 But the same underlying Greek word is not always translated to angels. 38:24.800 --> 38:26.080 In fact, go to Luke chapter 7. 38:27.040 --> 38:29.600 Luke chapter number 7. 38:32.800 --> 38:35.040 Look at verse 24, Luke 7, 24. 38:40.100 --> 38:43.620 Luke 7, 24, the Bible says this. 38:43.620 --> 38:48.220 And when the messengers of John were departed. 38:48.220 --> 38:53.200 Here, messenger is the exact same Greek word. 38:53.200 --> 38:55.620 In fact, in James 2, 25, the Bible says, 38:55.620 --> 38:59.340 Rahab had received the messengers. 38:59.340 --> 39:01.140 Talking about the spice, right? 39:01.140 --> 39:02.100 So what's the difference? 39:02.300 --> 39:06.060 Because the Bible college Greek professors may be like, 39:06.060 --> 39:08.540 the literal Greek says angel. 39:08.540 --> 39:10.700 The word is angelos. 39:10.700 --> 39:14.140 Well, then John the Baptist apparently 39:14.140 --> 39:16.140 had angels working for him. 39:16.140 --> 39:19.020 And then Rahab hit the angels on the roof. 39:19.020 --> 39:23.020 But that's obviously not the context. 39:23.020 --> 39:26.540 Because the literal Greek can be a very dangerous thing. 39:27.000 --> 39:29.640 Now, sometimes the word angel in the Bible 39:29.640 --> 39:33.040 does mean a human messenger. 39:33.040 --> 39:35.520 But if you know this, how it's been translated? 39:35.520 --> 39:37.320 When the word angel is used, it's 39:37.320 --> 39:40.880 always the angel of God or a messenger of God. 39:40.880 --> 39:44.000 But the word messengers are used, 39:44.000 --> 39:48.320 it's usually the messengers of men, the servants of men. 39:48.320 --> 39:50.440 So there's a difference. 39:50.440 --> 39:51.920 Now I'll go to 1 Timothy chapter 3. 39:51.920 --> 39:53.200 1 Timothy chapter 3. 39:54.700 --> 39:59.700 I'm just giving you some mild examples just to warm you up. 39:59.700 --> 40:01.500 Okay? 40:01.500 --> 40:04.340 So, point number three. 40:04.340 --> 40:09.060 Deacon does not always mean the office of a deacon. 40:09.060 --> 40:12.600 Deacon does not always mean the office of a deacon. 40:12.900 --> 40:17.900 Because 1 Timothy 3 is a chapter about pastoral 40:18.700 --> 40:22.580 or the qualification of the deacon. 40:22.580 --> 40:25.180 1 Timothy 3, 8 says this, 40:25.180 --> 40:28.260 likewise must the deacons be grave, 40:28.260 --> 40:30.380 not double-towned, not given too much wine, 40:30.380 --> 40:32.100 not greedy of filthy looker. 40:32.100 --> 40:36.100 So here, this is talking about the office of a deacon. 40:36.100 --> 40:38.040 Very clear, based on the context. 40:38.100 --> 40:42.500 Now, the Greek word is diakonos, deacon. 40:42.500 --> 40:44.280 That's a transliteration. 40:44.280 --> 40:48.460 Now, the Romans, chapter 16. 40:48.460 --> 40:51.540 So you have this Greek word that translates to deacon 40:51.540 --> 40:53.660 as the office. 40:53.660 --> 40:56.340 But then people who don't know Greek 40:56.340 --> 40:59.020 will use this to teach deaconess. 41:00.300 --> 41:01.740 You know, people who don't know Greek 41:01.740 --> 41:04.100 will actually use this to teach. 41:04.100 --> 41:07.060 There's a female office of a deacon. 41:07.060 --> 41:09.220 Romans 16, verse 1. 41:09.220 --> 41:12.140 Romans 16, verse 1 says this. 41:12.140 --> 41:14.700 I command unto you, Phoebe, our sister. 41:14.700 --> 41:17.540 So Phoebe was a female Christian. 41:17.540 --> 41:18.500 He was a woman. 41:18.500 --> 41:19.820 She was a woman. 41:19.820 --> 41:21.500 I command unto you, Phoebe, our sister. 41:22.100 --> 41:25.600 which is the servant of the church which that sent Korea. 41:25.600 --> 41:31.100 Now the word servant is the exact same Greek word that translates to deacon, diakonos. 41:31.100 --> 41:36.600 See? It's the same Greek word. This proves Phoebe was a female deacon. 41:36.600 --> 41:39.100 You see how this can be dangerous? 41:39.100 --> 41:46.100 The simple may be deceived, but that's why the King James is the only English Bible that we use. 41:46.800 --> 41:50.600 OK, because the word diakonos is a polysemy based 41:50.600 --> 41:51.640 on the context. 41:51.640 --> 41:56.200 It can mean servant, or it can mean the office of a deacon. 41:56.200 --> 42:00.880 By their logic, every time the word diakonos is mentioned, 42:00.880 --> 42:05.920 it's talking about the office of the deacon. 42:05.920 --> 42:08.360 OK, let's apply that logic, shall we? 42:08.360 --> 42:10.040 To the Romans 13. 42:10.040 --> 42:10.640 Romans 13. 42:11.100 --> 42:12.680 Now, I can show you way more example, 42:12.680 --> 42:14.480 but let me just give you some highlight. 42:14.480 --> 42:15.360 Romans 13. 42:15.360 --> 42:18.600 Now, Romans 13 is talking about human government, right? 42:18.600 --> 42:21.480 Romans 13, look at verse number 4. 42:21.480 --> 42:24.320 For he is referring to the government. 42:24.320 --> 42:28.560 For he is the minister of God to the full good. 42:28.560 --> 42:30.760 That's the exact same Greek word, folks. 42:30.760 --> 42:35.160 So by their logic, the government is a deacon of God. 42:36.200 --> 42:39.560 So the government must be the husband of one wife as well, 42:39.560 --> 42:40.480 then. 42:40.480 --> 42:42.920 Obviously, that's not the context. 42:42.920 --> 42:44.640 The government is a minister, right? 42:44.640 --> 42:45.720 Go to Romans 15. 42:45.720 --> 42:48.240 Romans 15. 42:48.240 --> 42:50.440 See, it's the exact same Greek word. 42:50.440 --> 42:51.440 Romans 15. 42:51.440 --> 42:52.480 Look at verse 8. 42:52.480 --> 42:54.100 Romans 15, verse 8 says this. 42:54.600 --> 42:58.560 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision 42:58.560 --> 42:59.800 for the truth of God. 42:59.800 --> 43:02.680 The exact same Greek word, viochnos. 43:02.680 --> 43:05.520 So are you saying Jesus Christ was a deacon? 43:05.520 --> 43:08.360 That would be stupid, right? 43:08.360 --> 43:10.680 I can show you way more examples on this, 43:10.680 --> 43:13.360 but I think I've made my points. 43:13.360 --> 43:17.000 Viochnos can mean deacon, minister, or servant 43:17.000 --> 43:18.160 based on the context. 43:18.400 --> 43:21.920 Because that Greek word is a polysemy. 43:21.920 --> 43:24.840 Although by going back to the Greek, one thing we can know 43:24.840 --> 43:29.480 is being a deacon means you are also serving. 43:29.480 --> 43:32.200 But that does not mean every time the word 43:32.200 --> 43:36.960 diachonos is used, it's talking about the office of a deacon. 43:36.960 --> 43:37.200 you 43:37.800 --> 43:44.200 Now, going back to the Greek and look up how the King James translators translated the 43:44.200 --> 43:47.000 same word can be beneficial. 43:47.000 --> 43:50.120 Usually you'll get the general meaning. 43:50.120 --> 43:55.440 I sometimes will do that to get a general definition, but the exact meaning has to be 43:55.440 --> 43:56.920 determined by its context. 43:57.200 --> 43:59.200 So by going back to the Greek, all you know 43:59.200 --> 44:03.360 is being a deacon means you are also serving, 44:03.360 --> 44:05.520 which is a true definition of the word. 44:05.520 --> 44:09.240 But you have to test it by context. 44:09.240 --> 44:11.760 Now go to Exodus chapter 20. 44:11.760 --> 44:13.800 Exodus chapter number 20. 44:17.300 --> 44:20.540 So when people tell you Phoebe was a deaconess, 44:20.540 --> 44:23.300 to show them, hey, is the government a deacon? 44:23.300 --> 44:24.980 Is Jesus Christ a deacon? 44:24.980 --> 44:28.740 It's the same Greek word, using their own logic. 44:28.740 --> 44:34.180 Point number four, Elohim does not always mean God. 44:34.180 --> 44:36.580 Elohim does not always mean God. 44:36.580 --> 44:39.100 Now, let me just read to you Genesis 1, 1, right? 44:39.100 --> 44:42.100 In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth. 44:42.400 --> 44:44.560 It's the Hebrew word Elohim. 44:44.560 --> 44:47.880 That's clearly talking about the Lord God, right? 44:47.880 --> 44:52.280 The Jehovah God, because God was the creator of all things. 44:52.280 --> 44:54.200 So Elohim. 44:54.200 --> 44:56.360 Now we're going to access chapter 20, look at verse 3. 44:56.360 --> 45:00.440 Acts 20, verse number 3. 45:00.440 --> 45:03.800 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. 45:03.800 --> 45:05.000 Same Hebrew word, by the way. 45:05.800 --> 45:11.320 But here, it's a lowercase g, also plural gods. 45:11.320 --> 45:15.480 It would be a bad and wicked translation if it says, 45:15.480 --> 45:19.180 thou shall have no other all-capital god before me. 45:19.180 --> 45:20.880 Because what's the context? 45:20.880 --> 45:25.600 The context refers clearly to false god or demons or idols. 45:25.600 --> 45:26.100 Right? 45:26.100 --> 45:26.200 you 45:27.300 --> 45:29.420 Now to make matters more complicated, 45:29.420 --> 45:31.180 go to Exodus 21. 45:31.180 --> 45:32.340 Exodus 21. 45:32.340 --> 45:35.100 Because Elohim is a polysemy. 45:35.100 --> 45:39.300 The word can mean the Lord God, or it can mean idols. 45:39.300 --> 45:41.660 Exodus 21, verse number 6. 45:41.660 --> 45:44.940 Exodus 21, verse 6 says this. 45:44.940 --> 45:48.100 Then his master shall bring him unto the judges. 45:48.100 --> 45:50.820 Same Hebrew word, by the way. 45:50.820 --> 45:52.660 See how complicated that can be? 45:52.660 --> 45:54.900 That's why if you don't know Hebrew, just shut your mouth. 45:56.100 --> 45:57.380 Same Hebrew word. 45:57.380 --> 46:00.100 Kaming the Lord God, kaming idols, 46:00.100 --> 46:02.240 or kaming human judges. 46:02.240 --> 46:05.700 Now go to Psalm 82, Psalm 82. 46:05.700 --> 46:07.340 Let me complicate this even more, OK? 46:07.340 --> 46:08.900 Ha ha ha. 46:12.200 --> 46:13.200 So I'm 82. 46:19.500 --> 46:21.500 So I'm A2, look at version number one. 46:24.200 --> 46:26.200 To me, if you go back to the Hebrew, 46:26.200 --> 46:29.400 the only thing you can know for sure is being a god or judges 46:29.400 --> 46:30.920 means you are judging things. 46:30.920 --> 46:32.240 Again, this is a general meaning, 46:32.240 --> 46:36.240 but you still have to test it by the context. 46:36.240 --> 46:37.920 Psalm 82, look at verse 1. 46:37.920 --> 46:40.560 Psalm 82, verse 1 says this. 46:40.560 --> 46:44.000 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty. 46:44.000 --> 46:46.320 He judgeth among the gods. 46:47.100 --> 46:51.300 So here, Psalm 82 explains these gods. 46:51.300 --> 46:52.600 Notice what they are doing. 46:52.600 --> 46:53.680 Look at verse number 2. 46:53.680 --> 46:58.120 How long will ye judge unjustly and accept 46:58.120 --> 47:00.400 the persons of the wicked, Selah, defend the poor 47:00.400 --> 47:04.120 and fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and needy? 47:04.120 --> 47:05.920 Without going back to the Hebrew, 47:05.920 --> 47:08.760 what is the word gods in verse 1 talking about? 47:08.760 --> 47:10.720 Human judges, right? 47:10.720 --> 47:12.440 Now look at verse number 6. 47:12.440 --> 47:14.080 I have said, ye are gods. 47:15.500 --> 47:20.020 And all of you are children of the Most High. 47:20.020 --> 47:21.540 And that was the context. 47:21.540 --> 47:24.680 People who are judging earthly matters, right? 47:24.680 --> 47:29.020 So here, the word gods is talking about judges, human judges, 47:29.020 --> 47:32.420 and not even idols, and not Lord God. 47:32.420 --> 47:36.820 Now, you may wonder, why didn't the translators translate this 47:36.820 --> 47:39.140 to judges to avoid miscommunication? 47:39.600 --> 47:44.560 Why not just translate Psalm 82, verse 6, as ER judges? 47:44.560 --> 47:47.640 It will be way clearer. 47:47.640 --> 47:49.760 But to me, the context makes it super clear. 47:49.760 --> 47:52.120 Now, by the way, go to John chapter 10. 47:52.120 --> 47:55.040 John chapter number 10. 47:55.040 --> 47:57.880 First, the context makes it super clear. 47:57.880 --> 48:01.480 The word gods here is referring to human judges. 48:02.600 --> 48:07.600 Additionally, Jesus Christ quoted this psalm to make this argument. 48:07.600 --> 48:14.600 I believe there's a reason, you know, the word God is retained in Psalm 82. 48:14.600 --> 48:16.600 John chapter 10, verse 33. 48:16.600 --> 48:19.600 John chapter 10, verse 33. 48:19.600 --> 48:21.600 The Bible says this. 48:23.100 --> 48:27.660 The Jews answered him, saying, for good work which don't thee not, but for blasphemy, 48:27.660 --> 48:30.780 and because thou being a man makest thyself God. 48:30.780 --> 48:34.860 So the Jews were accusing Jesus for claiming to be God. 48:34.860 --> 48:39.580 By the way, Jesus Christ, he is God, and they don't like that fact. 48:40.400 --> 48:47.600 Look at verse 24. Jesus answered them, is it not written in your law I said, you are gods. 48:47.600 --> 48:53.360 If you call them gods unto whom the word of God came and the scripture cannot be broken. 48:54.160 --> 49:01.280 So I believe Jesus was playing on words here because they were accusing Jesus for making 49:01.280 --> 49:06.280 making himself to be God, but then Jesus Christ quoted Psalm 82 by saying, 49:06.280 --> 49:07.280 You are God. 49:07.280 --> 49:08.200 Okay? 49:08.700 --> 49:12.860 I believe the word God is integral to his argument. 49:12.860 --> 49:15.500 I believe he's playing on words, right? 49:15.500 --> 49:17.820 But to us, based on the context, it's 49:17.820 --> 49:20.820 clearly referring to human judges. 49:20.820 --> 49:26.420 By the way, the lowercase god means human judges, 49:26.420 --> 49:28.140 even in modern dictionaries. 49:29.700 --> 49:33.060 So they were not wrong for translating that. 49:33.060 --> 49:36.120 So maybe the translators, they want 49:36.120 --> 49:39.680 us to learn that God can have multiple meanings. 49:39.680 --> 49:42.960 Maybe you need to expand your vocabulary. 49:42.960 --> 49:45.560 Because even if you look at the modern dictionary, 49:45.560 --> 49:48.520 the lowercase god, one of the definitions is judges. 49:50.100 --> 49:53.940 And firstly, I believe Jesus Christ quoted that, 49:53.940 --> 49:55.400 and the scripture cannot be broken. 49:55.400 --> 49:58.540 And Jesus Christ is using that to make his point. 49:58.540 --> 50:01.540 But then the context is super, super clear. 50:01.540 --> 50:02.500 Go to Daniel chapter 3. 50:02.500 --> 50:05.060 Daniel chapter 3. 50:05.060 --> 50:10.140 And we have Spanish word that does the exact same thing. 50:10.140 --> 50:15.260 For example, if I say, lc, señor, I mean, yes, sir, right? 50:16.400 --> 50:23.400 But if I say El Señor Steven, I'm talking about Mr. Steven, right? 50:23.400 --> 50:31.400 But if I say El Señor de la casa, I mean the master or the lord of the house. 50:31.400 --> 50:36.400 But if I say El Señor Jesucristo, I'm talking about the Lord Jesus Christ. 50:36.400 --> 50:42.200 Nobody who knows Spanish would argue Señor really means Sir. 50:42.300 --> 50:46.620 So El Señor Jesucristo has to be translated as, 50:46.620 --> 50:48.780 Sir, Jesus Christ. 50:48.780 --> 50:51.460 Nobody will argue that, because if you know Spanish, 50:51.460 --> 50:52.960 the word can have different meanings. 50:52.960 --> 50:56.580 Can mean Lord, can mean Sir, can mean Master, 50:56.580 --> 50:57.940 can mean Lord, case Lord. 50:57.940 --> 50:58.860 Right? 50:58.860 --> 51:01.540 Again, it's a polysemy based on the context. 51:01.540 --> 51:03.140 Some people argue about the Greek, 51:03.140 --> 51:04.940 but nobody will argue about the Spanish. 51:07.900 --> 51:10.200 But this actually becomes super, super important. 51:10.500 --> 51:14.180 When it comes to the fourth man in the fire, 51:14.180 --> 51:17.940 Daniel chapter three, look at verse 23, Daniel 3.23. 51:17.940 --> 51:18.860 Daniel 3.23. 51:21.100 --> 51:26.100 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Benegal, 51:26.100 --> 51:30.100 fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. 51:30.100 --> 51:37.100 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonished and rose up in haste and spake and said unto his counselors, 51:37.100 --> 51:40.100 Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? 51:40.100 --> 51:43.100 They answered and said unto the king, Chuo king. 51:43.100 --> 51:49.100 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose walking in the midst of the fire, and they have 51:49.100 --> 51:51.400 no hurt, and the form of the fourth 51:51.400 --> 51:55.080 is like the Son of God." 51:55.080 --> 52:00.620 So King Nebuchadnezzar putting those three men 52:00.620 --> 52:05.120 to this burning fire furnace, clearly there were three men, 52:05.120 --> 52:07.400 but he saw four men. 52:07.400 --> 52:09.080 And the fourth man, the Bible says, 52:09.080 --> 52:14.240 is like the son of capital G-O-D. 52:14.240 --> 52:15.920 Now modern perversions. 52:16.400 --> 52:20.360 You know, modern perversions of the Bible pretty much all 52:20.360 --> 52:23.560 render verse 25 as, the form of the fourth 52:23.560 --> 52:26.400 is like the son of the gods. 52:26.400 --> 52:29.720 Lowercase god. 52:29.720 --> 52:33.240 Now, even though the same word can be translated to gods, 52:33.240 --> 52:37.160 but gods is actually a wrong translation, 52:37.160 --> 52:38.840 depends on the context. 52:38.840 --> 52:41.480 Because look at verse 28, Daniel 3.28. 52:41.480 --> 52:42.300 Thanks for watching! 52:43.100 --> 52:45.580 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake and said, 52:45.580 --> 52:54.380 Blessed be the God of Sherek and Meshach and Abednego, 52:54.380 --> 52:56.300 who had sent his angel. 52:56.300 --> 53:01.580 So here, this angel is clearly sent by the Lord God. 53:01.580 --> 53:05.220 By the way, in verse 15, they were asked, 53:05.220 --> 53:07.220 what God can deliver you? 53:07.220 --> 53:07.940 Capital G. 53:08.400 --> 53:13.800 In verse 17, they responded as, our God can deliver us. 53:13.800 --> 53:18.240 In verse 25, Nebuchadnezzar sees the Son of God. 53:18.240 --> 53:22.520 In verse 27, the men are just miraculously unharmed. 53:22.520 --> 53:25.040 And then in verse 28, Nebuchadnezzar 53:25.040 --> 53:29.680 bless their God who deliver him. 53:29.680 --> 53:31.160 Notice the context? 53:31.160 --> 53:32.100 It's pretty consistent. 53:32.700 --> 53:35.060 What's funny is the modern perversions 53:35.060 --> 53:38.460 were translated in verse 25 to God, 53:38.460 --> 53:42.300 but still use capital G-O-D in verse 28. 53:42.300 --> 53:44.100 It creates contradiction, right? 53:44.900 --> 53:47.620 So Daniel 3.25 is a great passage 53:47.620 --> 53:53.060 about the appearance of Christ back in the Old Testament. 53:53.060 --> 53:55.780 Jesus Christ was with them in the fire. 53:55.780 --> 53:59.700 He was the one who delivered them, the Son of God. 53:59.700 --> 54:01.800 Go to Psalm chapter 9, Psalm chapter 9. 54:06.800 --> 54:11.380 Point number five, what the shield. 54:11.380 --> 54:12.460 What the shield. 54:12.460 --> 54:18.940 Now, this one is probably one of the most important polysemies, 54:18.940 --> 54:22.340 because people who deny that Jesus Christ went to hell 54:22.340 --> 54:24.340 would love going back to the Greek on this. 54:25.000 --> 54:31.560 Psalm chapter 9, look at verse number 7, Psalm 917 says this, Psalm 917, 54:31.560 --> 54:36.040 the wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God. 54:36.040 --> 54:41.000 Here the word hell is, in Hebrew it's sheol, okay? Sheol. 54:41.000 --> 54:45.560 What's the context? The wicked go to hell. It means destruction, right? 54:45.560 --> 54:49.480 If you die without Christ, you will burn forever in hell. 54:49.480 --> 54:51.880 The context, you know, makes sense. 54:52.900 --> 54:58.580 Now, keep a place in Psalm, go to Genesis 37. 54:58.580 --> 55:01.740 Genesis 37. 55:01.740 --> 55:05.300 So the word shio is used here. 55:05.300 --> 55:09.300 Genesis 37, look at verse 34. 55:09.300 --> 55:12.540 Genesis 37, look at verse 34. 55:16.200 --> 55:22.120 The Bible says this, and Jacob ran his clothes and put sackcloth upon his loins and mourned 55:22.120 --> 55:27.480 for his son many days. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him, 55:28.200 --> 55:34.680 but he refused to be comforted. And he said, for I will go down into the grave until my son 55:34.680 --> 55:38.920 mourned, thus his father wept for him. The word grave is the exact same Hebrew word. 55:39.640 --> 55:43.000 That translates to hell. Okay? Wait a minute. 55:44.900 --> 55:50.020 That's the same Hebrew word, but we know that Jacob was saved. 55:50.020 --> 55:52.940 Jacob didn't spend one second in hell. 55:52.940 --> 55:55.500 Because the same Hebrew word, shio, came in grave, 55:55.500 --> 55:59.740 came in hell, came in pit, depending on the context. 55:59.740 --> 56:02.720 If it's about the saved, then it's grave. 56:02.720 --> 56:05.380 If it's talking about the wicked or the unsaved, it's hell. 56:05.380 --> 56:05.880 OK? 56:05.880 --> 56:07.100 Depends on the context, OK? 56:07.200 --> 56:09.680 Because shi'il does not always mean hell. 56:09.680 --> 56:14.880 By going back to the Hebrew, all you know is that's the place of the dead. 56:14.880 --> 56:18.560 So to have the exact translation, you have to determine, 56:18.560 --> 56:21.120 is it talking about the saved or the unsaved? 56:21.120 --> 56:22.720 Go to Psalm 16. 56:22.720 --> 56:23.760 Psalm 16. 56:25.280 --> 56:28.800 It will be a wicked translation by saying, 56:28.800 --> 56:32.320 for I will go down into the hell until my son mourns. 56:32.400 --> 56:37.400 because that's just a wrong, you know, a totally wrong definition. 56:37.400 --> 56:42.400 Psalm 16. Look at verse 10. 56:42.400 --> 56:46.400 Psalm 16 10. The Bible says this. 56:46.400 --> 56:50.400 For thou will not leave my soul in hell, 56:50.400 --> 56:53.400 neither will thou suffer than Holy One to see corruption. 56:53.400 --> 56:56.400 Same Hebrew word. 56:56.400 --> 56:58.800 Now, hell is... 56:59.200 --> 57:01.700 the accurate translation. 57:01.700 --> 57:02.340 Why is that? 57:02.340 --> 57:04.340 Because David was not talking about himself. 57:04.340 --> 57:09.220 Because in Psalm chapter 2, the Bible, Peter quotes that. 57:09.220 --> 57:12.020 In Acts 2.31, the Bible says, he's 57:12.020 --> 57:15.260 seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, 57:15.260 --> 57:17.900 that his soul was not left in hell, 57:17.900 --> 57:21.380 neither his flesh did see corruption. 57:21.380 --> 57:23.700 Now, people who deny that will. 57:24.100 --> 57:28.500 We'll say in Psalm 16, verse 10, that's the word shield. 57:28.500 --> 57:31.540 I mean, it should be rendered as grave. 57:31.540 --> 57:36.340 But that totally defeats the context, right? 57:36.340 --> 57:40.180 I mean, the translators understood the context. 57:40.180 --> 57:43.060 And they also understood hell atonement. 57:43.060 --> 57:43.300 Thanks for watching! 57:43.400 --> 57:46.340 that Jesus had to go to hell to pay for our sins. 57:46.340 --> 57:51.020 So they correctly translated Psalm 16 to hell, 57:51.020 --> 57:52.980 but not to grave. 57:52.980 --> 57:53.860 Go to Matthew 16. 57:53.860 --> 57:55.500 Matthew 16. 58:02.100 --> 58:05.260 See, people, preachers who don't know Greek or Hebrew, 58:05.260 --> 58:08.500 when they go back to Greek or Hebrew, 58:08.500 --> 58:10.420 they will open their strong concordance 58:10.420 --> 58:13.320 and say, shi'il means grave. 58:13.320 --> 58:14.940 So hell is just the grave. 58:14.940 --> 58:16.900 Hell is not eternal. 58:16.900 --> 58:19.740 You see how bad that can get for people 58:19.740 --> 58:22.380 who don't know Greek or Hebrew? 58:22.380 --> 58:25.980 The fact that shi'il can be translated to grave 58:25.980 --> 58:28.420 does not prove that it is a grave. 58:29.000 --> 58:33.280 It does not prove that it means, it only 58:33.280 --> 58:36.100 means a physical grave in every single passage, 58:36.100 --> 58:39.440 because the word is a polysemy. 58:39.440 --> 58:41.080 Matthew 16, Luke 18. 58:41.080 --> 58:43.320 Matthew 16, 18 says this. 58:43.320 --> 58:43.800 Thanks for watching! 58:45.100 --> 58:48.020 And I say also unto thee, get down our Peter. 58:48.020 --> 58:50.260 And upon this rock I will build my church, 58:50.260 --> 58:52.900 and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." 58:52.900 --> 58:55.580 Now here, hell is the Greek word, athes, 58:55.580 --> 58:58.700 although the modern, reconstructed, fake Greek 58:58.700 --> 59:00.380 will pronounce it as Hades. 59:00.380 --> 59:04.380 It's like athes, which is not very important to my argument. 59:04.380 --> 59:06.820 But you make fun of the Bible College Greek. 59:06.820 --> 59:10.260 Anyway, athes, not Hades. 59:12.000 --> 59:17.800 In fact, this Greek word, aides, is translate to hell 10 times, 59:17.800 --> 59:20.440 but to grave only one time. 59:20.440 --> 59:23.320 So let's look at the only time when this word is translated 59:23.320 --> 59:24.140 to grave. 59:24.140 --> 59:25.560 And you tell me if that makes sense. 59:25.560 --> 59:29.640 Go to 1 Corinthians 15, 1 Corinthians chapter 15. 59:34.100 --> 59:35.700 1st Corinthians 15. 59:39.200 --> 59:41.360 So the word is translated to hell 10 times, 59:41.360 --> 59:42.560 but only to grave one time. 59:42.560 --> 59:47.560 So there has to be a reason why they translate that 59:47.560 --> 59:48.440 to a grave. 59:48.440 --> 59:50.480 1 Corinthians 15, look at verse 50. 59:50.480 --> 59:54.040 1 Corinthians 15, verse 50. 59:54.040 --> 59:55.920 The Bible says this. 59:55.920 --> 59:59.400 Now this I say, brethren. 59:59.400 --> 01:00:03.200 So let me ask you, is this talking about the saved 01:00:03.200 --> 01:00:04.680 or the unsaved? 01:00:04.680 --> 01:00:05.440 The saved. 01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:06.560 Now look at verse 55. 01:00:06.900 --> 01:00:09.500 Oh, death, where is thy sting? 01:00:09.500 --> 01:00:11.300 Oh, hell. 01:00:11.300 --> 01:00:12.380 No. 01:00:12.380 --> 01:00:15.100 Oh, grave, where is thy victory? 01:00:15.100 --> 01:00:18.180 That's the same Greek word. 01:00:18.180 --> 01:00:19.820 Because the exact same Greek word 01:00:19.820 --> 01:00:25.980 does not require the exact same English word every single time. 01:00:25.980 --> 01:00:30.660 Now you might say, which one is the real definition of athes? 01:00:30.660 --> 01:00:33.660 Is it hell, or is it grave? 01:00:33.660 --> 01:00:34.660 The answer is yes. 01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:39.160 That's the whole point, because the word can have multiple senses. 01:00:39.160 --> 01:00:40.920 It can have more than one sense. 01:00:40.920 --> 01:00:43.000 That's called a polysemy. 01:00:43.000 --> 01:00:46.520 You do not determine the context, or you don't determine the meaning 01:00:46.520 --> 01:00:51.400 by looking at an English gloss, astron's concordance. 01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:55.040 You determine the meaning by its context. 01:00:55.040 --> 01:00:58.880 Go to Acts 12, Acts chapter 12. 01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:01.400 Now let's get into some controversial ones. 01:01:01.400 --> 01:01:02.240 Point number six. 01:01:04.000 --> 01:01:07.000 Point number six, Passover is not pagan. 01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:10.000 Passover is not pagan. 01:01:10.000 --> 01:01:14.000 Acts 12, look at verse 1. Acts 12 verse 1 says this. 01:01:16.100 --> 01:01:21.300 Now about that time, Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church, 01:01:21.300 --> 01:01:26.500 and he killed James the brother of John with a sword, and because he saw it pleased the Jews, 01:01:26.500 --> 01:01:31.700 he proceeded further to take Peter also, than were the days of unleavened bread. That's the 01:01:31.700 --> 01:01:39.220 extended Passover feast. And when he had apprehended him, he put him in a prison and delivered him to 01:01:39.860 --> 01:01:43.940 four quaternions of soldiers to keep him entaming after— 01:01:44.100 --> 01:01:47.980 Easter, you know that's where the bunnies lay eggs, right? 01:01:47.980 --> 01:01:52.460 Intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. 01:01:52.460 --> 01:01:56.540 Now, this is the only time that the word Easter 01:01:56.540 --> 01:01:58.700 is mentioned in the entire Bible. 01:01:58.900 --> 01:02:01.520 Some people will criticize the King James 01:02:01.520 --> 01:02:03.520 for including a pagan holiday. 01:02:03.520 --> 01:02:06.220 But even if this is talking about the pagan holiday, 01:02:06.220 --> 01:02:11.460 this passage simply says, Herod planned to bring Peter forward 01:02:11.460 --> 01:02:13.600 to the people after Easter. 01:02:13.600 --> 01:02:17.580 Nothing about whether God approves it or not. 01:02:17.580 --> 01:02:21.180 Now, here the word Easter is the Greek word pascha. 01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:23.720 Sounds like Passover, pas-ha, OK? 01:02:23.720 --> 01:02:27.680 Now, the same Greek word is translated 28 times, 01:02:27.680 --> 01:02:32.240 28 times to Passover, but only one time to Easter. 01:02:32.240 --> 01:02:36.320 In fact, William Tyndale's New Testament 01:02:36.320 --> 01:02:39.560 used the form of Easter way more frequently. 01:02:39.560 --> 01:02:39.800 Thanks for watching! 01:02:39.900 --> 01:02:45.240 You know, in the Tyndale Bible, the word Easter is used 14 times, 01:02:45.240 --> 01:02:51.660 Easter lamb is used 11 times, Easter fest is used one time, 01:02:51.660 --> 01:02:56.780 and then past-hell lamb is used three times. 01:02:56.780 --> 01:02:59.900 Now, Tyndale was an OK, good translation, 01:02:59.900 --> 01:03:02.700 but the King James is the one more exact. 01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:04.960 translation. 01:03:04.960 --> 01:03:08.440 So I believe there has to be a reason why the King James only 01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:12.160 left that one place as Easter and not Passover, 01:03:12.160 --> 01:03:14.960 just like they chose to translate these two hell 01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:18.400 10 times, but only one time to grave, right? 01:03:18.600 --> 01:03:19.960 And those are the context. 01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:22.360 Look at verse number, at the end of verse 3, 01:03:22.360 --> 01:03:25.400 the Bible says, then were the days of eleven bread. 01:03:25.400 --> 01:03:28.520 And then verse number 4, had it planned 01:03:28.520 --> 01:03:35.000 to bring Peter to the people after Easter. 01:03:35.700 --> 01:03:40.100 Because the Passover feast is not, does not only last one day. 01:03:40.100 --> 01:03:47.600 Yes, the Passover is one day, but that kicks off the feast of the unleavened bread, which lasts seven days. 01:03:48.200 --> 01:03:52.060 So if you just read Acts chapter 12, 01:03:52.060 --> 01:03:55.800 the Easter in verse number 4 parallels 01:03:55.800 --> 01:03:59.160 with the Days of the Unleavened Bread in verse number 3. 01:03:59.160 --> 01:04:04.360 So the context does make more sense for Easter 01:04:04.360 --> 01:04:09.800 here to refer to the Passover feast. 01:04:09.800 --> 01:04:13.640 But the question remains, why didn't the translator just 01:04:13.640 --> 01:04:15.800 replace Easter with Passover? 01:04:16.100 --> 01:04:19.580 I have no idea. 01:04:19.580 --> 01:04:22.620 However, I do think I may have a speculation. 01:04:22.620 --> 01:04:29.420 Now Easter, even nowadays, still had a broader meaning 01:04:29.420 --> 01:04:31.060 than it normally. 01:04:31.400 --> 01:04:35.720 The word Easter has a broader meaning in early modern English 01:04:35.720 --> 01:04:38.840 than it normally has today. 01:04:38.840 --> 01:04:44.360 Because older English Bibles use the word Easter way more times. 01:04:44.360 --> 01:04:48.360 So maybe the translators left that one usage 01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.360 just to further our vocabulary, or just 01:04:51.360 --> 01:04:54.120 to retain that usage of the word. 01:04:56.100 --> 01:04:58.860 Because some people think here Easter is talking about pagan. 01:04:58.860 --> 01:05:01.020 But again, the natural reading parallels 01:05:01.020 --> 01:05:02.900 with the Feast of the Eleven Bread. 01:05:02.900 --> 01:05:05.220 Further, even the older translations 01:05:05.220 --> 01:05:09.460 prior to the King James used the word Easter lamb talking 01:05:09.460 --> 01:05:10.500 about the Passover lamb. 01:05:10.500 --> 01:05:12.440 So these are the same thing. 01:05:12.440 --> 01:05:15.800 So maybe they just want to retain that usage of the word 01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:17.220 because Easter is not pagan. 01:05:17.800 --> 01:05:20.680 By the way, if you go back to the modern dictionary, 01:05:20.680 --> 01:05:23.660 the word Easter does mean the Feast of the Passover, 01:05:23.660 --> 01:05:28.040 just like do some studying. 01:05:28.040 --> 01:05:31.680 And here's why this is pretty funny. 01:05:31.680 --> 01:05:34.640 People will go back 400 years just 01:05:34.640 --> 01:05:38.320 to correct the King James Bible with the Greek. 01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:41.840 But they will not even go back to some early modern dictionary 01:05:41.840 --> 01:05:43.920 to figure out what that English word means. 01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:46.600 They will go back to correct the Greek. 01:05:46.600 --> 01:05:49.000 They will go back to correct the King James with the Greek. 01:05:49.000 --> 01:05:50.600 But they will not even go back to look up 01:05:50.600 --> 01:05:53.240 what the English word means. 01:05:53.240 --> 01:05:55.040 Stupid. 01:05:55.040 --> 01:05:56.680 Go to 1 Corinthians, chapter 5. 01:05:56.680 --> 01:05:58.200 1 Corinthians, chapter 5. 01:06:01.900 --> 01:06:06.740 Number seven, this is going to be controversial. 01:06:06.740 --> 01:06:10.060 Railing is evil speech. 01:06:10.060 --> 01:06:11.940 And wait for me to define that. 01:06:11.940 --> 01:06:13.180 Railing is evil speech. 01:06:13.180 --> 01:06:15.340 1 Corinthians 5, look at verse 11. 01:06:15.340 --> 01:06:16.860 1 Corinthians 5, 11 says this. 01:06:16.860 --> 01:06:17.300 Thanks for watching! 01:06:20.200 --> 01:06:23.320 But now I have written unto you not to keep company. 01:06:23.320 --> 01:06:26.520 If any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, 01:06:26.520 --> 01:06:30.960 or a covetous, or an idolater, or a raider, or a drunkard, 01:06:30.960 --> 01:06:34.400 or an extortioner with such and one know not to eat. 01:06:34.400 --> 01:06:36.560 So we're supposed to kick these people out 01:06:36.560 --> 01:06:38.720 who violated those things. 01:06:38.720 --> 01:06:42.800 Now here, you know, raider is the Greek word literals, OK? 01:06:43.700 --> 01:06:48.820 Now, the same Greek word is actually only used three times 01:06:48.820 --> 01:06:51.100 in the entire New Testament. 01:06:51.100 --> 01:06:53.980 But we know the word railing has appeared way more than three 01:06:53.980 --> 01:06:55.100 times. 01:06:55.100 --> 01:06:57.580 Here's why this is kind of interesting, right? 01:06:57.580 --> 01:07:00.300 Now, go to 1 Corinthians chapter 6. 01:07:00.300 --> 01:07:05.300 The same Greek word literals is also translated 01:07:05.300 --> 01:07:08.340 in 1 Corinthians 6.10. 01:07:08.340 --> 01:07:09.180 The Bible says this. 01:07:09.700 --> 01:07:14.200 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkard, nor revilers. 01:07:14.200 --> 01:07:17.620 Same Greek word as 1 Corinthians chapter 5. 01:07:17.620 --> 01:07:20.200 Now, by this comparison, you cannot really 01:07:20.200 --> 01:07:23.320 tell me what railing is, OK? 01:07:23.320 --> 01:07:27.800 Railer, reviler. 01:07:27.800 --> 01:07:30.160 However, there's another word. 01:07:30.160 --> 01:07:32.000 You know, I should go to 1 Peter chapter 3. 01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:33.240 1 Peter chapter 3. 01:07:35.880 --> 01:07:36.920 1 Peter chapter 3. 01:07:41.500 --> 01:07:44.320 Because 1 Corinthians 5, that's the one usage of the word. 01:07:44.320 --> 01:07:47.380 1 Corinthians 6 is another usage of the word. 01:07:47.380 --> 01:07:50.700 But then 1 Peter is the third and only usage 01:07:50.700 --> 01:07:52.180 of that same Greek word. 01:07:52.180 --> 01:07:54.740 1 Peter chapter 3, look at verse 9. 01:07:54.740 --> 01:07:56.000 1 Peter 3, 9. 01:07:57.800 --> 01:08:01.440 1 Peter 3, 9 says this, not rendering evil for evil, 01:08:01.440 --> 01:08:02.720 or railing for railing. 01:08:02.720 --> 01:08:05.840 Same word as 1 Corinthians chapter 5, 1 Corinthians chapter 01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:08.960 6, but counterwise blessing, knowing that ye are there 01:08:08.960 --> 01:08:13.080 unto God, that ye should inherit a blessing. 01:08:13.080 --> 01:08:20.080 Now, the Greek word litholia is translated to twice as railing, 01:08:20.080 --> 01:08:23.680 but one time as speak reproachfully. 01:08:23.680 --> 01:08:24.180 OK? 01:08:24.600 --> 01:08:29.880 Now, still, by that you cannot really tell me what that word, you know, what that sin 01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:30.960 exactly means. 01:08:31.300 --> 01:08:34.540 But let's look at the parallel verses in verse 16, 01:08:34.540 --> 01:08:36.340 1 Peter 3, 16. 01:08:36.340 --> 01:08:38.620 The Bible says this, having a good conscience 01:08:38.620 --> 01:08:42.140 that whereas they speak evil of you as of evil doers, 01:08:42.140 --> 01:08:44.460 that they may be ashamed that falsely 01:08:44.460 --> 01:08:47.540 accuse your good conversation in Christ. 01:08:47.540 --> 01:08:49.380 So here, based on the King James Bible, 01:08:49.380 --> 01:08:53.180 railing is tied to evil speaking and false accusation, right? 01:08:53.180 --> 01:08:54.060 OK. 01:08:54.060 --> 01:08:55.060 Now go to Mark 15. 01:08:55.060 --> 01:08:55.560 Mark 15. 01:08:57.100 --> 01:09:02.100 So literals, the same Greek word is only used three times. 01:09:02.100 --> 01:09:03.900 Maybe there are other forms of the word. 01:09:03.900 --> 01:09:06.820 But there's another Greek word that's 01:09:06.820 --> 01:09:12.740 translated to railing far more times than literals. 01:09:12.740 --> 01:09:14.660 Mark 15, look at verse 29. 01:09:14.660 --> 01:09:16.060 Mark 15, verse 29. 01:09:18.900 --> 01:09:20.500 Mark 1529 says this. 01:09:23.300 --> 01:09:26.880 And they that pass by railed on him. 01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:30.020 They rail on Jesus wagging their heads and saying, 01:09:30.020 --> 01:09:32.860 ah, thou that destroyest the temple 01:09:32.860 --> 01:09:34.740 and buildest it in three days. 01:09:34.740 --> 01:09:37.440 Here the word is rail, but it's not the 1 Corinthians 5 01:09:37.440 --> 01:09:38.360 literals. 01:09:38.360 --> 01:09:41.440 Here the word is blasphemu. 01:09:41.440 --> 01:09:42.400 Blasphemu. 01:09:42.400 --> 01:09:43.520 OK? 01:09:43.520 --> 01:09:44.520 Sounds like blasphemy. 01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:48.420 In fact, that word is translated to blaspheme 17 times 01:09:48.420 --> 01:09:50.840 and speak evil of 10 times. 01:09:51.700 --> 01:09:54.200 So one thing we know for sure by going back to the Greek 01:09:54.200 --> 01:09:59.480 is railing includes speaking harm for speech, 01:09:59.480 --> 01:10:01.000 which is tied to false accusation 01:10:01.000 --> 01:10:02.880 because that harms people. 01:10:02.880 --> 01:10:07.320 That's all you can deduce by going back to the Greek. 01:10:07.320 --> 01:10:10.320 So here is a different Greek word that's also 01:10:10.320 --> 01:10:12.680 translated to rail, Vlasfemur. 01:10:14.200 --> 01:10:17.440 When you speak evil or when you falsely 01:10:17.440 --> 01:10:22.200 accuse Jesus, who is God, it becomes blasphemy. 01:10:22.200 --> 01:10:23.680 Nothing wrong with that. 01:10:23.680 --> 01:10:27.720 So by going back to the Greek, you don't redefine the word. 01:10:27.720 --> 01:10:31.960 It simply shows that blasphemy is a type of railing. 01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:34.240 Because when you are falsely accusing Jesus, 01:10:34.240 --> 01:10:37.680 that becomes a blasphemy, which is a type of railing. 01:10:39.300 --> 01:10:41.880 By the way, in Revelation 13, verse number 6, 01:10:41.880 --> 01:10:45.640 and he, the Antichrist, opened his mouth in blasphemy, 01:10:45.640 --> 01:10:49.480 same word, against God, to blaspheme his name 01:10:49.480 --> 01:10:52.520 and his tabernacle and them that dwell in heaven, 01:10:52.520 --> 01:10:54.060 the exact same word. 01:10:54.060 --> 01:10:56.600 Because blasphemy is also railing. 01:10:56.600 --> 01:10:59.640 It's a type of railing when you are falsely accusing God, 01:10:59.640 --> 01:11:02.820 when you are speaking evil speech against God. 01:11:03.100 --> 01:11:05.340 Now go to X23. 01:11:05.340 --> 01:11:08.300 Now it's getting a little bit juicy here, X23. 01:11:08.300 --> 01:11:11.380 Ha ha. 01:11:11.380 --> 01:11:14.160 This proves that the English word, 01:11:14.160 --> 01:11:16.780 raio, is now tied to one Greek word. 01:11:16.780 --> 01:11:17.900 OK? 01:11:17.900 --> 01:11:21.980 But the King James, they translated blasphemu as raio 01:11:21.980 --> 01:11:25.620 just to make a point that if people blaspheme against Jesus, 01:11:25.620 --> 01:11:27.220 they should be kicked out as well. 01:11:27.220 --> 01:11:27.720 Right? 01:11:27.720 --> 01:11:28.000 Yeah. 01:11:30.900 --> 01:11:33.140 Acts 23, look at verse number 4. 01:11:34.340 --> 01:11:36.100 Acts 23, verse number 4. 01:11:38.500 --> 01:11:39.900 The vowel says this. 01:11:39.900 --> 01:11:43.680 And data stood by said, revoullist. 01:11:43.680 --> 01:11:45.100 Same word, by the way. 01:11:45.500 --> 01:11:46.580 Littoros. 01:11:46.580 --> 01:11:50.820 Revilest thou God's high priest, then said Paul, 01:11:50.820 --> 01:11:53.860 I was not brethren that he was the high priest, 01:11:53.860 --> 01:11:56.540 for it is written, he was quoting Exodus, 01:11:56.540 --> 01:11:59.900 thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people. 01:11:59.900 --> 01:12:03.460 By the way, the verse he's quoting in the book of Exodus 01:12:03.460 --> 01:12:06.820 says, thou shalt not revile the gods, judges. 01:12:06.820 --> 01:12:09.060 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse 01:12:09.060 --> 01:12:10.700 the ruler of thy people. 01:12:10.700 --> 01:12:13.500 And Paul rendered the word curse as speak evil, which 01:12:13.500 --> 01:12:14.880 cursing is wishing people harm. 01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:17.180 There's nothing wrong with that. 01:12:17.180 --> 01:12:21.100 So here, Paul quotes that as speak evil. 01:12:21.100 --> 01:12:22.580 Again, similar usage. 01:12:22.580 --> 01:12:25.620 Now, when I preach on X23 in my Wednesday night series, 01:12:25.620 --> 01:12:28.820 I will delve into what's Paul right for Chinese opinion, 01:12:28.820 --> 01:12:31.700 because that's pretty controversial. 01:12:31.700 --> 01:12:34.800 I will not start that kind of warm this morning. 01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:44.100 So we know that railing is evil speech, railing is false accusation, railing is blasphemy against God. 01:12:44.100 --> 01:12:53.300 Because when you slander people, when you falsely accuse people, that's evil speech because that causes people harm. 01:12:54.300 --> 01:12:58.580 And telling the truth does not really cause people harm, 01:12:58.580 --> 01:13:00.900 unless it's gossiping, but that's not real. 01:13:00.900 --> 01:13:02.660 Gossiping is a separate issue when 01:13:02.660 --> 01:13:06.580 you are just bearing tales. 01:13:06.580 --> 01:13:10.540 Now, telling the truth, some of this can be overboard. 01:13:10.540 --> 01:13:11.060 Right? 01:13:13.500 --> 01:13:16.100 Sometimes telling the truth may not be charitable. 01:13:16.100 --> 01:13:19.980 And sometimes telling the truth might be gossiping, 01:13:19.980 --> 01:13:20.700 but it's not real. 01:13:21.600 --> 01:13:24.300 You know, when you mock or then say man of God 01:13:24.300 --> 01:13:27.880 by telling the truth, you might get eaten by some bears 01:13:27.880 --> 01:13:29.160 or get some terrible sickness. 01:13:29.160 --> 01:13:30.640 But I don't think that's really. 01:13:30.640 --> 01:13:32.400 OK. 01:13:32.400 --> 01:13:34.160 Go to James chapter 3. 01:13:34.160 --> 01:13:35.600 James chapter 3. 01:13:42.800 --> 01:13:52.800 I will also say this, that unless it's for some church-disciplinable situations, 01:13:52.800 --> 01:13:59.800 I don't actually believe it is right for us to curse our fellow Christians. 01:13:59.800 --> 01:14:03.800 Because what is a curse? Wishing harm or evil? 01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:06.800 James chapter 3, look at verse 1. James 3.1 says this, 01:14:06.800 --> 01:14:08.200 My brethren 01:14:08.400 --> 01:14:10.760 Be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive 01:14:10.760 --> 01:14:14.480 the greater condemnation. 01:14:14.480 --> 01:14:16.800 Again, the context is talking about the brethren. 01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:18.440 Now look at verse number 9. 01:14:18.440 --> 01:14:20.880 Therewith blessed we God, even the Father, 01:14:20.880 --> 01:14:22.480 and therewith cursed we men, which 01:14:22.480 --> 01:14:26.040 are made after the similitude of God, out of the same mouth, 01:14:26.040 --> 01:14:28.240 perceived blessing and cursing. 01:14:28.240 --> 01:14:32.300 My brethren, these things are not so to be. 01:14:32.300 --> 01:14:36.160 So in general, we're not supposed to be wishing harm. 01:14:36.600 --> 01:14:42.920 to our brethren, right? These things are not to be. In fact, in James chapter 4, look at verse 11, 01:14:42.920 --> 01:14:51.240 James 4 11 says this, James 4 11 says this, speak now evil one of another brethren. He that speaketh 01:14:51.240 --> 01:14:56.760 evil of his brother and judgeth his brother speaketh evil of the law and judgeth the law, 01:14:56.760 --> 01:15:00.840 but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge. Okay, again. 01:15:01.300 --> 01:15:07.560 Same same same contest do not curse your brethren and do not speak evil means wishing harm 01:15:08.060 --> 01:15:12.920 Of your brethren which wishing harm, you know is many Tai Chi false accusations slandering 01:15:12.920 --> 01:15:20.420 Okay, by the way, don't take me out of contest praying for God's justice is different from wishing another brother in Christ to die 01:15:21.100 --> 01:15:23.100 Two different things. Okay 01:15:24.100 --> 01:15:27.660 If I tell you, hey, God, this brother stole my money, 01:15:27.660 --> 01:15:31.060 I pray you'll judge this man and just make things right. 01:15:31.060 --> 01:15:33.160 That is way different from saying, 01:15:33.160 --> 01:15:36.300 I hope you just get hit by a car and die. 01:15:36.300 --> 01:15:38.500 Two different things, OK? 01:15:38.500 --> 01:15:41.100 So do not take me out of context. 01:15:41.100 --> 01:15:42.300 And think about David. 01:15:42.300 --> 01:15:44.860 King David never once prayed for Saul's death, 01:15:44.860 --> 01:15:46.660 despite of him trying to kill him. 01:15:46.660 --> 01:15:48.860 He prayed to God for justice, right? 01:15:49.400 --> 01:15:52.840 So why are Christians praying for the death of other Christians? 01:15:52.840 --> 01:15:54.360 I'm not talking about unsafe wrapper-based. 01:15:54.360 --> 01:15:56.400 That's a separate case, OK? 01:15:56.400 --> 01:16:01.600 Now, the argument is that if a Christian sings a sin 01:16:01.600 --> 01:16:04.200 unto death, we should pray for his death. 01:16:04.200 --> 01:16:06.160 But that's not what the Bible says. 01:16:06.160 --> 01:16:08.200 Let me read to you what the Bible actually says. 01:16:08.200 --> 01:16:10.640 1 John 5.16 says this. 01:16:10.640 --> 01:16:13.120 If any man see his brother sing a song. 01:16:13.400 --> 01:16:15.720 which is not unto death, he shall ask, 01:16:15.720 --> 01:16:17.840 and he shall give him life for them that 01:16:17.840 --> 01:16:19.280 sing not unto death. 01:16:19.280 --> 01:16:20.800 There is a sin unto death. 01:16:20.800 --> 01:16:23.440 I do now say that he shall pray for it. 01:16:23.440 --> 01:16:26.400 Word doesn't say you should pray that he dies. 01:16:26.400 --> 01:16:30.400 To me, if a brother commits a sin that's worthy of death, 01:16:30.400 --> 01:16:33.840 don't pray for his deliverance. 01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:38.200 If the government does not execute the death penalty, 01:16:38.400 --> 01:16:43.120 on that person and if he repents then restore him back. 01:16:43.120 --> 01:16:46.960 The point is don't pray for the deliverance of evil people. 01:16:46.960 --> 01:16:51.360 There's a difference between not praying for someone's 01:16:51.360 --> 01:16:58.960 deliverance from you know versus actively praying that a person gets killed. 01:16:59.300 --> 01:17:02.280 Here's my proof. 01:17:02.280 --> 01:17:07.280 Because the fornication example in 1 Corinthians chapter 5, 01:17:07.280 --> 01:17:08.800 what did he do? 01:17:08.800 --> 01:17:12.420 He went in unto his father's wife, 01:17:12.420 --> 01:17:14.880 which deserves the death penalty based 01:17:14.880 --> 01:17:17.840 on the book of Leviticus chapter number 20, verse number 11. 01:17:17.840 --> 01:17:20.720 So the guy who commits fornication, 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:24.140 where Paul used the example of church discipline, 01:17:24.140 --> 01:17:26.960 actually commits a sin unto death, right? 01:17:28.100 --> 01:17:30.700 And Paul told them to deliver such and one 01:17:30.700 --> 01:17:33.660 unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh. 01:17:33.660 --> 01:17:37.380 So he deserved to die based on the Book of Leviticus 01:17:37.380 --> 01:17:39.140 when he went into his father's life. 01:17:39.140 --> 01:17:42.940 But then after he repents in 2 Corinthians chapter 2, 01:17:42.940 --> 01:17:47.460 Paul said, ye are rather to forgive him and comfort him. 01:17:47.460 --> 01:17:50.700 That's why in general we should not curse or wish 01:17:50.700 --> 01:17:52.460 our fellow Christians harm. 01:17:52.460 --> 01:17:55.100 That's different from praying for justice. 01:17:55.100 --> 01:17:55.600 OK? 01:17:55.600 --> 01:17:55.700 you 01:17:56.200 --> 01:17:59.000 Go to Psalm 74. Psalm 74. 01:18:01.300 --> 01:18:05.140 I mean, if you think that's not juicy enough. 01:18:05.140 --> 01:18:08.580 Point number eight, synagogues are not always bad. 01:18:08.580 --> 01:18:12.500 Synagogues are not always bad. 01:18:12.500 --> 01:18:17.260 Again, let me explain myself, just like the previous point. 01:18:17.260 --> 01:18:21.940 Synagogues are not always bad, because we are King James only. 01:18:21.940 --> 01:18:25.860 Now, virtually every New Testament mention 01:18:25.860 --> 01:18:27.260 of the word synagogue is bad. 01:18:27.800 --> 01:18:31.920 except for some neutral mention when Christ and the apostles 01:18:31.920 --> 01:18:34.000 preach at the synagogues. 01:18:34.000 --> 01:18:37.720 However, there's only one Old Testament mention 01:18:37.720 --> 01:18:39.000 of the word synagogue. 01:18:39.000 --> 01:18:40.900 Psalm 74, look at verse 8. 01:18:40.900 --> 01:18:43.720 Psalm 74, verse number 8. 01:18:43.720 --> 01:18:47.440 They said in their hearts, let us destroy them together. 01:18:47.440 --> 01:18:51.160 They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land. 01:18:52.800 --> 01:18:57.800 Here, the word synagogue is mentioned in a positive way. 01:18:57.800 --> 01:19:01.680 The Bible even says the synagogues of God. 01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:03.600 And like I've always been preaching, 01:19:03.600 --> 01:19:09.040 that we must approach every tough passage with honesty 01:19:09.040 --> 01:19:11.560 and not try to explain them away. 01:19:11.560 --> 01:19:15.000 The same Hebrew word is also translated to congregation 01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:17.200 150 times. 01:19:17.200 --> 01:19:18.040 There were feasts. 01:19:18.400 --> 01:19:22.120 23 times, the word season 13 times, the word appointed 01:19:22.120 --> 01:19:25.600 or time 12 times, the word assembly 4 times, 01:19:25.600 --> 01:19:27.640 and so on and so on and so forth. 01:19:27.640 --> 01:19:30.800 And in a one time, it was translated to synagogue. 01:19:30.800 --> 01:19:32.760 So by going back to the Hebrew, we 01:19:32.760 --> 01:19:34.980 can pretty much know that the Hebrew word has 01:19:34.980 --> 01:19:38.820 the meaning of the appointed time or the appointed place 01:19:38.820 --> 01:19:41.760 or the assembly based on the context. 01:19:41.760 --> 01:19:46.400 In fact, let me just read to you in Exodus 27, verse 01:19:46.400 --> 01:19:49.980 Verse 21, the Bible says, in the tabernacle 01:19:49.980 --> 01:19:54.300 of the congregation without the veil, that's the same word. 01:19:54.300 --> 01:19:55.140 OK? 01:19:55.140 --> 01:20:01.240 So the word synagogue is not intrinsically a bad word, 01:20:01.240 --> 01:20:04.800 because the word by itself simply means assembly. 01:20:04.800 --> 01:20:07.320 And you don't even need to go back to the Hebrew 01:20:07.320 --> 01:20:09.400 to know what the Psalmist is talking about. 01:20:09.400 --> 01:20:11.140 Let's look at the context. 01:20:11.140 --> 01:20:13.360 Look at verse number one, Psalm 74, verse one. 01:20:14.700 --> 01:20:19.500 The Bible says this, oh God, why hast thou cast us off forever? 01:20:19.500 --> 01:20:23.660 Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture? 01:20:23.660 --> 01:20:25.380 Remember thy congregation. 01:20:25.380 --> 01:20:27.100 Same word, folks. 01:20:27.300 --> 01:20:30.860 which thou hast purchased of old, the rod of thine inheritance, 01:20:30.860 --> 01:20:33.020 which thou hast redeemed, this mount Zion, 01:20:33.020 --> 01:20:34.020 wherein thou hast dwelt. 01:20:34.020 --> 01:20:36.680 So was the colonist, the congregation of the Lord. 01:20:36.680 --> 01:20:37.800 Look at verse number four. 01:20:37.800 --> 01:20:41.560 Thy enemies roar in the midst of thy congregation. 01:20:41.560 --> 01:20:42.760 That's the assembly of God. 01:20:42.760 --> 01:20:44.320 Look at verse number seven. 01:20:44.320 --> 01:20:47.320 They have cast fire into thy sanctuary. 01:20:47.320 --> 01:20:52.120 They have been filed by casting down the dwelling place 01:20:52.120 --> 01:20:53.600 of thy name to the ground. 01:20:53.600 --> 01:20:55.300 So it's clearly in a positive. 01:20:55.300 --> 01:20:56.220 light, right? 01:20:56.220 --> 01:21:00.420 The contest is all talking about the assembly of God 01:21:00.420 --> 01:21:03.580 and the congregation of God. 01:21:03.580 --> 01:21:05.580 However, if you look at history, it's 01:21:05.580 --> 01:21:09.260 pretty well documented that the synagogue system during Christ 01:21:09.260 --> 01:21:13.060 time actually started during the Babylonian captivity. 01:21:13.060 --> 01:21:16.800 Because when a temple was a 01:21:18.300 --> 01:21:22.940 destroyed and many Jews were carried away to Babylon. 01:21:22.940 --> 01:21:25.660 They could no longer offer sacrifices anymore. 01:21:25.660 --> 01:21:30.660 And that's when the most historians think... 01:21:31.980 --> 01:21:32.900 Close the door, please. 01:21:32.900 --> 01:21:33.740 Close the... 01:21:35.740 --> 01:21:40.740 That's when most historians think the system of the synagogue 01:21:43.020 --> 01:21:44.260 got started, okay? 01:21:45.000 --> 01:21:49.520 And the synagogues during Christ days and during Christ time, 01:21:49.520 --> 01:21:53.920 they were heavily influenced by the oral tradition 01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:55.440 from the Pharisees. 01:21:55.440 --> 01:22:00.280 And after AD 70, those traditions 01:22:00.280 --> 01:22:03.440 become increasingly formalized into what 01:22:03.440 --> 01:22:06.160 we call rabbitic Judaism. 01:22:06.700 --> 01:22:09.940 And centuries later, they compiled those into Mishnah 01:22:09.940 --> 01:22:12.260 and then the Talmud, which absolutely blasphemed 01:22:12.260 --> 01:22:14.460 the Lord Jesus Christ. 01:22:14.460 --> 01:22:18.180 So here are my theories. 01:22:18.180 --> 01:22:21.540 This synagogue mentioned in Psalm 01:22:21.540 --> 01:22:29.300 may not even be referring to the official synagogue system 01:22:29.300 --> 01:22:30.340 that we think about. 01:22:30.700 --> 01:22:35.220 Because the translators may just use that word in a broad sense, 01:22:35.220 --> 01:22:40.700 as in congregation or as in assembly. 01:22:40.700 --> 01:22:46.020 Or we can say that's the exact system. 01:22:46.020 --> 01:22:47.900 It was good, but then it became bad. 01:22:48.200 --> 01:22:52.080 However, I do lean on that in Psalm 74, 01:22:52.080 --> 01:22:54.560 the word synagogue is a broader use of the word. 01:22:54.560 --> 01:22:56.840 That's nothing to do with the synagogue system 01:22:56.840 --> 01:22:58.920 mentioned in Christ's time, because the word simply 01:22:58.920 --> 01:23:00.800 means assembly. 01:23:00.800 --> 01:23:04.120 However, I'm not against you by believing, hey, it was good, 01:23:04.120 --> 01:23:07.980 but then it turned bad. 01:23:07.980 --> 01:23:11.240 Because sometimes we get triggered by words. 01:23:11.240 --> 01:23:13.880 Go to Galatians chapter 6. 01:23:13.880 --> 01:23:14.680 Galatians 6. 01:23:17.900 --> 01:23:20.780 Like the word catechism. 01:23:20.780 --> 01:23:25.580 The word catechism simply means instruction or teachings. 01:23:25.580 --> 01:23:28.700 But the Catholics hijacked that word. 01:23:28.700 --> 01:23:34.460 In fact, in Galatians chapter 6, Galatians 6.6, 01:23:34.460 --> 01:23:36.300 the Bible says this. 01:23:36.300 --> 01:23:38.260 Let him that is taught in the word 01:23:38.260 --> 01:23:41.860 communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 01:23:41.860 --> 01:23:44.980 The word teach is the underlying Greek word. 01:23:45.800 --> 01:23:47.380 Catechol. 01:23:47.380 --> 01:23:49.820 Again, that's the word in English, what catechism came from. 01:23:49.820 --> 01:23:51.540 Because the word simply means teaching. 01:23:51.540 --> 01:23:54.660 But we get triggered by words because the heretic hijacked 01:23:54.660 --> 01:23:55.620 them, right? 01:23:55.620 --> 01:24:00.580 Same as sovereign, predestination, reformed, 01:24:00.580 --> 01:24:04.540 apostolic, presbytery, dispensation. 01:24:04.540 --> 01:24:07.540 All these words having hijacked have been redefined 01:24:07.540 --> 01:24:09.660 by heretics. 01:24:09.660 --> 01:24:10.160 So. 01:24:11.800 --> 01:24:14.720 So all I'm saying is this. 01:24:14.720 --> 01:24:17.520 Synagogues are of Satan. 01:24:17.520 --> 01:24:20.560 However, the word itself simply means congregation. 01:24:20.560 --> 01:24:23.560 But the synagogues of the Jews, who say they are Jews 01:24:23.560 --> 01:24:25.960 and are not, they are the synagogues of Satan. 01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:26.920 Amen? 01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:28.360 So don't get triggered by word, OK? 01:24:28.360 --> 01:24:32.200 Make sure people define that by the context. 01:24:32.200 --> 01:24:33.400 Go to Acts 16. 01:24:33.400 --> 01:24:35.520 Acts 16. 01:24:35.520 --> 01:24:36.360 Acts 16. 01:24:36.360 --> 01:24:36.600 Thanks for watching! 01:24:39.900 --> 01:24:43.180 Number nine. 01:24:43.180 --> 01:24:47.220 The word save is not always salvific. 01:24:47.220 --> 01:24:50.700 The word save is not always salvific. 01:24:50.700 --> 01:24:53.060 Now, many false prophets love this. 01:24:53.060 --> 01:24:55.120 They will use every single time the word save 01:24:55.120 --> 01:24:59.220 is mentioned out of context to teach their workspace 01:24:59.220 --> 01:24:59.900 salvation. 01:24:59.900 --> 01:25:00.200 you 01:25:00.400 --> 01:25:01.900 Acts 16, look at verse number 30. 01:25:01.900 --> 01:25:02.740 Acts 16, 30. 01:25:02.740 --> 01:25:05.940 That's a popular verse that we use during soul winning. 01:25:05.940 --> 01:25:08.460 Acts 16, verse number 30. 01:25:08.460 --> 01:25:10.980 Here, the Bible says, and brought them out and said, 01:25:10.980 --> 01:25:13.460 sirs, what must I do to be saved? 01:25:13.460 --> 01:25:16.300 How can I be saved from going to hell to go to heaven? 01:25:16.300 --> 01:25:19.760 Verse 31 says, and they said, believe on the Lord Jesus 01:25:19.760 --> 01:25:22.920 Christ, and thou shall be saved in thy house. 01:25:22.920 --> 01:25:24.720 Later his house gets saved as well. 01:25:24.720 --> 01:25:29.720 So here the word save is the underlying Greek word, sozo. 01:25:29.720 --> 01:25:30.980 OK, save. 01:25:30.980 --> 01:25:34.600 Now, the context is clear that they are, 01:25:34.600 --> 01:25:37.480 that's talking about a spiritual salvation 01:25:37.480 --> 01:25:39.120 about going to heaven, right? 01:25:39.120 --> 01:25:40.320 How can you go to heaven? 01:25:40.320 --> 01:25:43.880 By believing on the Lord Jesus Christ and not on yourself. 01:25:44.300 --> 01:25:45.100 alone. 01:25:45.100 --> 01:25:46.620 Now, we're going to do Matthew 14. 01:25:46.620 --> 01:25:48.220 Matthew 14. 01:25:48.220 --> 01:25:50.660 Because you know the heretics will use every time the word 01:25:50.660 --> 01:25:54.780 saved is mentioned to teach a workspace salvation, which 01:25:54.780 --> 01:25:57.060 first contradicts clear scripture. 01:25:57.060 --> 01:26:00.300 But let's use their logic. 01:26:00.300 --> 01:26:02.100 Matthew 14, look at verse 29. 01:26:02.100 --> 01:26:06.140 Matthew 14, 29. 01:26:06.140 --> 01:26:07.860 The Bible says this. 01:26:07.860 --> 01:26:09.100 And he said, come. 01:26:09.500 --> 01:26:13.580 And when Peter was come down out of the ship, 01:26:13.580 --> 01:26:16.300 he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 01:26:16.300 --> 01:26:20.180 But when he saw the wind, boisterous, he was afraid. 01:26:20.180 --> 01:26:24.140 And beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me. 01:26:24.140 --> 01:26:26.120 Same Greek word. 01:26:26.120 --> 01:26:28.100 So is Peter here asking Jesus Christ 01:26:28.100 --> 01:26:29.900 to be born again to take me to heaven? 01:26:30.400 --> 01:26:30.900 No! 01:26:30.900 --> 01:26:31.740 What's the contest? 01:26:31.740 --> 01:26:33.740 Save from the water, right? 01:26:33.740 --> 01:26:35.140 Save from the storm. 01:26:35.140 --> 01:26:36.540 Lord, save me. 01:26:36.540 --> 01:26:40.780 The exact same Greek word. 01:26:40.780 --> 01:26:44.300 Now go back to Acts 27. 01:26:44.300 --> 01:26:47.260 Because the word sozo is a polysemy. 01:26:47.260 --> 01:26:48.740 It can mean different things. 01:26:48.740 --> 01:26:54.060 Does not always mean in a salvific sense. 01:26:54.060 --> 01:26:55.780 Acts 27. 01:26:55.780 --> 01:26:56.580 Look at verse 30. 01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:01.040 Acts 27 verse 30 says this, 01:27:02.880 --> 01:27:07.000 and as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, 01:27:07.000 --> 01:27:10.540 when they had let down the boat into the sea, 01:27:10.540 --> 01:27:13.120 under color as though they would have 01:27:13.120 --> 01:27:15.920 cast anchors out of the fourth ship, 01:27:15.920 --> 01:27:19.120 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, 01:27:19.120 --> 01:27:21.880 accept these abide in the ship. 01:27:21.880 --> 01:27:23.240 Ye cannot be saved. 01:27:24.700 --> 01:27:28.260 You know, imagine people say every time Sozo is mentioned, 01:27:28.260 --> 01:27:30.340 is talking about how to go to heaven, 01:27:30.340 --> 01:27:34.620 you could create endless false doctrines. 01:27:34.620 --> 01:27:38.220 So if you, by their logic, in order for you to go to heaven, 01:27:38.220 --> 01:27:41.660 you have to stay in the ship. 01:27:41.660 --> 01:27:45.300 But that's not what the context says. 01:27:45.300 --> 01:27:46.900 In fact, go to James chapter 5. 01:27:46.900 --> 01:27:48.220 James chapter number 5. 01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:54.000 James, chapter 5. 01:27:54.000 --> 01:27:59.040 What about the woman shall be saved in childbearing? 01:27:59.040 --> 01:28:00.800 So ladies, in order for you to go to heaven, 01:28:00.800 --> 01:28:02.560 you have to have babies. 01:28:02.560 --> 01:28:03.920 But that's not what the context is. 01:28:03.920 --> 01:28:06.400 It's saved from turning over onto Satan, 01:28:06.400 --> 01:28:08.760 saved from being idle, right? 01:28:08.760 --> 01:28:10.120 That is the context. 01:28:10.120 --> 01:28:11.880 Because the word save is a polysemy. 01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:14.800 You have to read the context, OK? 01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:17.320 James, chapter 5, verse 15 says this. 01:28:18.300 --> 01:28:25.260 And the prayer of fish shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed 01:28:25.260 --> 01:28:30.940 sins, they shall be forgiven him." Here, save the sick is clearly tied to healing, right? 01:28:31.980 --> 01:28:34.940 Now to James chapter 2, James chapter 2. 01:28:35.600 --> 01:28:38.780 Because people would primarily use James chapter 2 just 01:28:38.780 --> 01:28:40.520 to teach their false doctrine. 01:28:40.520 --> 01:28:41.840 James 2.14 says this. 01:28:41.840 --> 01:28:44.120 James 2.14. 01:28:44.120 --> 01:28:45.000 What are the profit? 01:28:45.000 --> 01:28:46.000 Brethren? 01:28:46.000 --> 01:28:48.160 First of all, he's talking to brethren, those people 01:28:48.160 --> 01:28:49.960 who are already safe. 01:28:49.960 --> 01:28:51.000 What are the profit? 01:28:51.000 --> 01:28:54.760 My brethren, though a man say he had faith and have not words, 01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:56.080 can faith save him? 01:28:56.080 --> 01:28:58.200 First of all, they are already brethren. 01:28:58.200 --> 01:28:59.560 And what's the context? 01:29:00.200 --> 01:29:04.000 The context is faith alone without works 01:29:04.000 --> 01:29:07.640 won't deliver your brother from starvation. 01:29:07.640 --> 01:29:11.280 Faith alone without works will not deliver your brother 01:29:11.280 --> 01:29:13.680 from the lack of clothes. 01:29:13.680 --> 01:29:15.840 If you are saved, you should do the work 01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:19.320 so it can be profitable to other people. 01:29:19.320 --> 01:29:23.400 So again, not every time the word sozo or save is mentioned 01:29:23.400 --> 01:29:24.640 is in a salvific sense. 01:29:25.900 --> 01:29:29.620 Go to 1 Corinthians chapter 2, 1 Corinthians chapter 2. 01:29:29.620 --> 01:29:32.060 Lastly, point number 10. 01:29:32.060 --> 01:29:32.620 Point 10. 01:29:32.620 --> 01:29:34.460 Point number 10. 01:29:34.460 --> 01:29:38.040 There's nothing wrong with going back to the original languages. 01:29:38.040 --> 01:29:40.740 There's nothing wrong with going back 01:29:40.740 --> 01:29:42.900 to the original languages. 01:29:42.900 --> 01:29:44.820 There's nothing wrong with genuinely 01:29:44.820 --> 01:29:48.340 knowing those languages, because I sometimes go back 01:29:48.340 --> 01:29:49.260 to the Chinese Bible. 01:29:50.700 --> 01:29:52.900 Even if it says the exact same thing, 01:29:52.900 --> 01:29:55.300 but in different languages, different things 01:29:55.300 --> 01:29:56.060 may stand out. 01:29:56.060 --> 01:29:57.560 So I think that's pretty interesting, right? 01:29:57.560 --> 01:29:59.060 Because different words may stand out, 01:29:59.060 --> 01:30:01.100 even though they say the exact same thing. 01:30:01.100 --> 01:30:03.740 That's why I'm all for you learning a foreign language. 01:30:03.740 --> 01:30:05.600 In fact, that's really cool. 01:30:05.600 --> 01:30:08.220 The problem is not knowing Greek. 01:30:08.220 --> 01:30:12.220 The problem is pretending that looking at the strongs 01:30:12.220 --> 01:30:14.540 means you know Greek. 01:30:14.540 --> 01:30:15.040 OK? 01:30:15.500 --> 01:30:18.200 Because strong may tell you the underlying words, 01:30:18.200 --> 01:30:22.560 strong may tell you the other occurrences of the word, 01:30:22.560 --> 01:30:25.400 and in a multiple possible definition, 01:30:25.400 --> 01:30:29.200 but strong does not tell you the context. 01:30:29.200 --> 01:30:32.200 And I sometimes will even look at how the King James 01:30:32.200 --> 01:30:33.880 translators would translate the same. 01:30:35.200 --> 01:30:38.680 a Greek or Hebrew word just out of curiosity. 01:30:38.680 --> 01:30:41.280 And usually, you can get a general meaning of the word, 01:30:41.280 --> 01:30:44.480 but you still need to test it in context. 01:30:44.480 --> 01:30:47.760 Just like there's nothing wrong to look up 01:30:47.760 --> 01:30:51.120 a definition in a dictionary. 01:30:51.120 --> 01:30:54.440 But you still need to test it in context. 01:30:54.440 --> 01:30:56.960 That's why I believe there's nothing wrong with going back 01:30:56.960 --> 01:30:58.760 to other languages, but make sure you're 01:30:58.760 --> 01:31:01.280 testing it per context. 01:31:01.900 --> 01:31:05.900 And many times the Bible defines its own word. 01:31:05.900 --> 01:31:08.400 You're in 1 Corinthians chapter 2, look at verse 13. 01:31:08.400 --> 01:31:10.400 1 Corinthians 2.13 says this, 01:31:12.400 --> 01:31:15.900 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, 01:31:15.900 --> 01:31:18.900 but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, 01:31:18.900 --> 01:31:22.400 comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 01:31:22.400 --> 01:31:24.400 Compare the Bible with the Bible, 01:31:24.400 --> 01:31:27.900 because the Bereans get in search of the lexicon daily. 01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:33.120 But those Baryon's, they search the scripture daily. 01:31:33.120 --> 01:31:36.360 Look at the immediate context, right? 01:31:36.360 --> 01:31:38.240 Look at the parallel passages. 01:31:38.240 --> 01:31:40.880 Look at the quotations from the Old Testament, 01:31:40.880 --> 01:31:44.280 you know, if that's applicable. 01:31:44.280 --> 01:31:47.200 If you still can't get the definition, 01:31:47.200 --> 01:31:48.520 the first mention may help. 01:31:48.520 --> 01:31:50.600 You know, look up the first mention of the word. 01:31:50.800 --> 01:31:53.700 If not, it may be helpful to look 01:31:53.700 --> 01:31:56.380 at how the translators translated 01:31:56.380 --> 01:31:59.020 the same underlying word and look up the dictionary 01:31:59.020 --> 01:32:03.860 definition, but make sure to test them in context. 01:32:03.860 --> 01:32:05.740 Go to Isaiah chapter 7. 01:32:05.740 --> 01:32:07.500 Isaiah chapter 7. 01:32:11.400 --> 01:32:14.680 But one thing that you must not do, 01:32:14.680 --> 01:32:20.400 and that is try to correct the Bible with the dictionary. 01:32:20.400 --> 01:32:23.320 The Bible says, add thou not unto his words, 01:32:23.320 --> 01:32:26.120 lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. 01:32:26.120 --> 01:32:29.040 Even though saved people would not take away or add upon the word of God, 01:32:29.040 --> 01:32:33.760 but sometimes people will insert things that the Bible does not say. 01:32:33.760 --> 01:32:36.560 Do not do that. 01:32:36.560 --> 01:32:37.560 And that's why... 01:32:37.700 --> 01:32:42.300 The King James Bible is the translation for the English speaking people. 01:32:42.300 --> 01:32:44.300 It's actually a translation. 01:32:44.300 --> 01:32:48.300 Because the translators understood polysemy. 01:32:48.300 --> 01:32:54.800 Because the translation has to give sense to the exact meaning of the word. 01:32:54.800 --> 01:32:59.300 Not merely identifying the underlying word. 01:32:59.300 --> 01:33:05.100 Using shiel rather than hell or grave does not help the readers. 01:33:05.300 --> 01:33:09.980 That's what the modern translations are crap. 01:33:09.980 --> 01:33:12.340 And the King James translators, they 01:33:12.340 --> 01:33:17.220 understood something that people who rely on strong often 01:33:17.220 --> 01:33:17.980 doesn't. 01:33:17.980 --> 01:33:22.500 Because this Bible that we have was not 01:33:22.500 --> 01:33:26.980 translated with one guy sitting in his office 01:33:26.980 --> 01:33:28.140 with a Greek dictionary. 01:33:29.100 --> 01:33:31.100 We have 54 translators. 01:33:31.100 --> 01:33:33.620 They were language experts. 01:33:33.620 --> 01:33:37.540 And one guy we kept bringing up is Lancelot Andrews. 01:33:37.540 --> 01:33:40.460 He is an expert in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, 01:33:40.460 --> 01:33:46.700 which extended into Arabic, Aramaic, Kalbi, and Syriac. 01:33:46.700 --> 01:33:50.060 And some people think he mastered 15 languages 01:33:50.060 --> 01:33:50.900 over his lifetime. 01:33:51.800 --> 01:33:53.800 You know, those are language experts. 01:33:53.800 --> 01:33:56.040 They know more about Greek than any of you. 01:33:56.040 --> 01:33:57.840 Isaiah 7, verse 14. 01:33:57.840 --> 01:34:00.000 Isaiah 7, 14 says this. 01:34:01.000 --> 01:34:03.520 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a son. 01:34:03.520 --> 01:34:06.560 Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son 01:34:06.560 --> 01:34:08.680 and shall call his name Immanuel." 01:34:08.680 --> 01:34:10.800 And if you know the quotation in Matthew chapter 1, 01:34:10.800 --> 01:34:14.880 it's talking about a virgin shall be with child. 01:34:14.880 --> 01:34:17.400 So again, it's clearly a virgin. 01:34:17.400 --> 01:34:19.480 Mary is a virgin because Jesus Christ 01:34:19.480 --> 01:34:24.160 was her firstborn child based on the context of the whole Bible. 01:34:24.160 --> 01:34:28.480 However, the same Hebrew word can mean young woman. 01:34:29.000 --> 01:34:31.760 A young woman is a meaning of that Hebrew word. 01:34:31.760 --> 01:34:34.760 However, context determines the meaning. 01:34:34.760 --> 01:34:38.200 If you deny the virgin birth, if you deny the deity of Christ, 01:34:38.200 --> 01:34:41.600 you would choose young woman like most modern versions. 01:34:41.600 --> 01:34:43.920 But the context tells you this is a virgin, 01:34:43.920 --> 01:34:46.640 and Jesus Christ is God. 01:34:46.640 --> 01:34:49.320 Go to Hosea chapter 3. 01:34:49.320 --> 01:34:51.080 Let me show you a fun example. 01:34:51.080 --> 01:34:52.320 Hosea chapter 3. 01:34:58.600 --> 01:35:00.200 Hosea chapter 3. 01:35:03.400 --> 01:35:05.800 Look at verse number one, Hosea chapter three, verse one. 01:35:08.900 --> 01:35:11.300 Then said the Lord unto me, Hosea 3.1, 01:35:11.300 --> 01:35:14.100 Go yet love the woman beloved of her friend, 01:35:14.100 --> 01:35:17.060 yet an adulteress, according to the love of the Lord 01:35:17.060 --> 01:35:19.980 toward the children of Israel, who looked to other gods 01:35:19.980 --> 01:35:22.320 and loved flagons of wine. 01:35:22.320 --> 01:35:24.340 So here it's a condemnation. 01:35:24.340 --> 01:35:28.340 It's clearly a condemnation, because they worship idols. 01:35:28.340 --> 01:35:30.980 They look to other gods, and they love wine. 01:35:30.980 --> 01:35:33.460 They love alcohol, because God hates that. 01:35:33.460 --> 01:35:36.820 It's clearly a condemnation. 01:35:36.820 --> 01:35:36.900 No. 01:35:36.900 --> 01:35:41.600 of what they were doing, gods and wine. 01:35:41.600 --> 01:35:43.540 Get it? 01:35:43.540 --> 01:35:49.680 Now, listen to how ridiculous some modern versions are. 01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:51.800 Here's the revised, standard version. 01:35:53.000 --> 01:35:59.640 And the Lord said unto me, Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress, 01:35:59.640 --> 01:36:06.520 even as the Lord loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins. 01:36:09.700 --> 01:36:12.620 Here's a new American Standard Bible. 01:36:12.620 --> 01:36:15.380 Then the Lord said to me, go again. 01:36:15.380 --> 01:36:17.620 Love a woman who is loved by her husband, 01:36:17.620 --> 01:36:20.180 yet is committing adultery, as the Lord loves 01:36:20.180 --> 01:36:23.140 the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods, 01:36:23.140 --> 01:36:27.380 and love raisin cakes. 01:36:27.380 --> 01:36:29.220 One more. 01:36:29.220 --> 01:36:31.540 The NIV. 01:36:31.540 --> 01:36:32.820 The nothing spider version. 01:36:34.600 --> 01:36:41.000 The Lord said unto me, go show your love to your wife again, though she is loved by another 01:36:41.000 --> 01:36:46.320 man and is an adulteress, love her as the Lord loves the Israelites, though they turn 01:36:46.320 --> 01:36:52.520 to other gods and love the sacred raisin cakes. 01:36:52.520 --> 01:36:59.160 So essentially, by trying to be different from the King James Bible, they have God condemning 01:36:59.160 --> 01:37:01.000 Israel for liking raisins. 01:37:02.800 --> 01:37:04.880 However, the King James translators, 01:37:04.880 --> 01:37:07.280 they understood polysemy. 01:37:07.280 --> 01:37:08.600 It's a condemnation. 01:37:08.600 --> 01:37:11.640 They were drinking alcohol and worshipping idols, 01:37:11.640 --> 01:37:14.000 not loving raisin cakes. 01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:14.560 So stupid. 01:37:17.480 --> 01:37:20.360 So I hope I've made my point. 01:37:20.360 --> 01:37:23.840 You know, I can give you way more examples, OK? 01:37:24.900 --> 01:37:27.260 So I hope it's an interesting sermon for you. 01:37:27.260 --> 01:37:29.900 Definitely way more helpful and way more technical 01:37:29.900 --> 01:37:33.620 than your Bible college intro to Greek class. 01:37:33.620 --> 01:37:36.620 By the way, it's also free. 01:37:36.620 --> 01:37:39.700 Now, you might say that I want to go deeper, 01:37:39.700 --> 01:37:42.740 so I need to know what the Greek says. 01:37:42.740 --> 01:37:43.780 Here's my tip. 01:37:43.780 --> 01:37:45.660 Go deeper in your King James Bible. 01:37:46.300 --> 01:37:47.100 Right? 01:37:47.100 --> 01:37:50.620 Psalm 119 verse 18 says, open down mine eyes 01:37:50.620 --> 01:37:53.740 that I may be able to hold wondrous things out of thy law. 01:37:53.740 --> 01:37:56.060 Maybe pray that every time you are reading the Bible. 01:37:56.060 --> 01:37:56.580 Right? 01:37:56.580 --> 01:37:57.420 Open down my eyes. 01:37:57.420 --> 01:37:59.220 Go deeper in your Bible. 01:37:59.220 --> 01:38:02.260 And don't get me wrong, I'm all for learning a foreign language 01:38:02.260 --> 01:38:05.100 and reading the Bible in that language. 01:38:05.100 --> 01:38:06.600 I'm all for learning Greek because I 01:38:06.600 --> 01:38:07.700 think it's really cool. 01:38:08.400 --> 01:38:14.740 But you don't have to do that to learn the doctrines from the Bible. The King James is sufficient 01:38:15.000 --> 01:38:19.980 Because the King James is the Word of God. So when people try to tell you hey the Greek 01:38:20.340 --> 01:38:28.140 Literally says this the Hebrews means this in this verse so it has to mean this in that verse 01:38:28.440 --> 01:38:29.920 Be aware 01:38:29.920 --> 01:38:33.240 Check the context and never let them correct your Bible 01:38:34.700 --> 01:38:39.180 You don't get deeper than the Bible by correcting the Bible. 01:38:39.180 --> 01:38:42.980 You get deeper into the Bible by believing it, comparing it, 01:38:42.980 --> 01:38:47.020 studying it, and allowing the context to give you the sense. 01:38:47.020 --> 01:38:48.300 Amen? 01:38:48.300 --> 01:38:48.800 Let's pray. 01:38:48.800 --> 01:38:50.900 Thank you all for your word. 01:38:50.900 --> 01:38:53.220 And thank you for giving us a perfect Bible 01:38:53.220 --> 01:38:55.220 and help us be diligent in reading it, 01:38:55.220 --> 01:38:56.820 in studying your word. 01:38:56.820 --> 01:38:58.180 And I pray this in Jesus' name. 01:38:58.180 --> 01:38:58.700 Amen. 01:39:01.900 --> 01:39:07.260 Alright, last song is going to be song 369. 01:39:07.260 --> 01:39:09.260 Song 369 in your handbooks. 01:39:10.900 --> 01:39:14.900 Song 369.
