What's your most embarassing moment? in General
Jewels Agent Member # 3364	written Wednesday, August 10 2005 19:02 Profile Homepage #11 Middle school - History class - I was being a good student listening to the teacher when I notice that a couple of the popular boys who sit behind me were snickering. While trying to pretend I didn't notice their laughter I looked around a bit to see if I could find out what was so funny. I had been leaning forward for most of the class and just happened to catch a glimpse down the collar of my shirt in my looking. I knew exactly what they were snickering about and was mortified. I had worn my shirt with the cut and beaded sleeves which I usually wear with a turquoise tanktop underneath but I had forgotten the tanktop and hadn't taken to wearing bras yet. All the time I was leaning forward they had a clear view of my breasts (or lack thereof) through the armhole of my shirt. I leaned back and kept my arms to my side for the rest of the day. After class one of them commented on my 'Nice shirt!'. I told him 'Thanks.' and pretended not to know what he was talking about, but I was dying inside.

Were we prepared? in General
Jewels Agent Member # 3364	written Monday, July 25 2005 06:40 Profile Homepage #128 Sorry it took me so long, Kel. I had a very full weekend. Company came, had a birthday party and two weddings (well OK I didn't actually go to either wedding but I could have) Then there was a big thunderstorm and most of the town was without power for a day (some parts for two) due to downed trees (well OK so we were lucky and never lost power but it took time to go sightsee all the other downed trees and stop to watch the firemen work on a house hit by lightning). Here's a more scientific listing of manuscripts. Again focused on New Testament (which could have very well been originally written in Greek since Hebrew was a dying language only used for ritual religious ceremonies[I speculte]). I will still look for Old Testament stuff but it is not on the top of my todo list today. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

Jewels Agent Member # 3364	written Thursday, July 21 2005 19:07 Profile Homepage #93 quote: Originally written by Kelandon: quote: Originally written by The Ghost of Jewels: we still have hundreds if not thousands of original documents dating as far back as 250BC. I don't disbelieve you, but what's your source on this? It does depend on if you're talking about the OT or the NT. I will start with this source though it is really just a compilation of facts from other soures. There are 24,000 partial and complete copies of the NT, with 86,000 quotations from the early church fathers, enough so to make an almost complete copy of the NT just from them. (I have posted these stats before but maybe you were less active then.) The Dead Sea Scrolls are the earliest scripture documents we have. Most are indeed fragments but the complete book of Isiah was found. This website dates it at 150BC, the one I looked at yesterday said 250BC. While it is true that none of the texts of the original Hebrew still exsist, the Masoretic Hebrew and Septuagint Greek were both copied from the original. There are differences between the two, but I nothing that is critical to salvation. Some people dismiss the Masoretic some dismiss the Septuagint I think it's important to consider both. I cannot find a site that says how many we have, I will look more tomorrow.

Were we prepared? in General
Jewels Agent Member # 3364	written Thursday, July 21 2005 11:15 Profile Homepage #82 quote: Originally written by Jumpin' Salmon: I had a conversation once with a biblical scholar while in college. He had access to copies of some of the original documents and was able to read them in the original languages. I'm not sure if he ever published his work, but the thing I still remember after all these years is that many important things were dropped at each translation. Originally this was due to the inability to accurately convey the message while translating, mostly because of differences between Hebrew and Greek. Then it was purposeful when translated to Latin, as many of the gospels contained contradictory messages. Finally, the translation into English corrupted it further by adding some moral statements which hadn't existed before. By way of example, he pointed out that many of the original characters were female due to the matriarchal nature of society in that area. This was at odds with both Greek and Roman society, so it was changed. Female nouns became male nouns, with all the inherent subtexts associated with them. I find the bible to be a fascinating document, it is a 2000 year old document which contains the oral histories of another 6-8000 years. It is however corrupt by nature if it is intended to be a holy book, as it wasn't written by or through a higher power. Imagine if each US president was able to re-write the constitution according to their wishes. We would not have the same thing today as existed in 1778. I disagree with your sentiment, we still have hundreds if not thousands of original documents dating as far back as 250BC. And the documents we have from 250BC are almost precisely the same as those dated 1000 years later. Your biblical scholar is not the only person able to read these manuscripts. They have been poured over by thousands upon thousands of other scholars and are available for the commonfolk to pour over as well(with many translation tools available it is not as impossible as it once was). I will not disagree that some minor things have changed and that some meanings were not conveyed precisely but nothing important to one's salvation. Anyone who is serious about delving into the scriptures can easily enough find an original document and compare for themselves. As for being historically correct, I challenge anyone to find one historical instance in the Bible that can be proved to be false. Just incase you feel like going to look I will leave you with a quote: quote: The archaeologist Nelson Glueck said, "as a matter of fact, however, it may be stated categorically that no archaeological discovery has ever controverted a Biblical reference. Scores of archaeological findings have been made which confirm in clear outline or in exact detail historical statements in the Bible. And, by the same token, proper evaluation of Biblical descriptions have often led to amazing discoveries." -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.
