Do Most Christians read simple words and do not know the definition of them? Like here’s one “Anti” .

[PloughBoy]

No we don’t , to define biblical words of “Holy Scripture” we use “the International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia”, “vine Greek -English dictionary of New Testament words”. And “Brown’s, Driver, Briggs Hebrew-English lexicon of Hebrew words.
The word meaning for our “Translations” we used are base out of these Dictionaries “ they all tie in together even with your “Strong’s & Young’s Concordance“ , “Englishmen Greek Concordance “, Englishmen Hebrew Concordance, and “Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon”. Word matches plus “Scripture “ verse location, and all “Transliterated” words. All of these tie in together. For “Exhausted Study” these are the books for the translation of the bible. I have all plus more. We didn’t have the internet back when I began my journey, I had to skip meals! This generation is so bless, most of these are free on the internet or the books are real cheap. I had to put books in lay a way at book stores and pay a little at a time.? By one encyclopedia book at a time in lay away. Until you had the collections, Some of us guys would get together have coffee and read lexicons, and “ISBE” all night when someone would buy one.

Use “Biblestudytools” look up the English word “soon”, “at hand” or look the verse up there and just click on the word you want the meaning for it, it should give you the right meaning of the Greek word used in that context.

 

[Samson2020]

The concept of Hell as taught in the modern church is a technique used to keep the sheep in the pen and continue to shear them. IMO if he allows you understanding to know what really is taking place then indeed BLESSED ARE YOUR EARS THAT HEAR THE PROPHECY.

"Perfect love casts out ALL FEAR." If your current understanding of hell causes you fear then you have not grasped perfected love.

 

[Reba1]

Use “Biblestudytools” look up the English word “soon”, “at hand” or look the verse up there and just click on the word you want the meaning for it, it should give you the right meaning of the Greek word used in that context.

Are you comfortable discussing your Biblical understanding of the words soon...at hand .. this

 

[PloughBoy]

We, I really do not have a personally understand of my own. I didn’t “coined” those two words. The Bible said “ soon” that is what it means “soon”, the Bible says:: “At hand”, that is what it means “at hand”. To me I just keep it moving. After I have read the definition in “ISBE”. That’s it for me. Simple for me. Others might want to carry it on, I prefer not. We just have to take Him at His word. 1 day as a thousand, a thousand as 1 day. With GOD, right. HE said: Watch.

 

[Reba1]

And your take on the work 'THIS"

 

[PloughBoy]

Mmm, in English grammar “This” is a singular pointer.
Right now I don’t even Know if this word exists in the “Greek” language, if you are referring to “Holy Scripture”.

 

[Reba1]

According to KJV the word is used in Scripture ,2786 times . Wondering about different takes/thoughts on a few words. I know Scripture was not written in English . I understood this thread to be about 'words'

 

[PloughBoy]

Yep. And the English language change a lot “ Word meaning or added definitions. And spelling across the board. Biblical and non- biblical. biblical definition is immutable but “Secular” definitions floats from one port to another.

The words of “John Calvin”

“They could attach us no greater insult than this word, Calvinism. It is not hard to guess where such a deadly hatred comes from that they hold against me.”

Behold, I am not, the same creature that my parents, brought from the Hospital. I am not, that same creature, that the delivery team delivered that day.
Behold I am not that same creature who appeared on that 1st day of grade school. neither in mind or spirit.
Behold I am not that creature that appeared on My 1st Sunday School morning door step. I am not that same "creature".
Behold I am not that same creature that step down into that Baptism pool on that Sunday evening.
and I thank God, that I am not that same creature that Rose out of that same Pool that same Sunday evening.
Behold I thank God, I am not that same creature that when the Hymn of "Amazing Grace" 1st rolled across my lips.

But through all of those years i knew i was different, and I did not belong here, for i was creature that was out of place, and something was truly wrong. But somehow i knew, God had something to do with it all. Then the shell cracked open. Behold, I am a new creature. not complete, but "brand spanking New" but I am not , the same creature that came out from between my mothers legs. I have not the same mind. I have not the same thoughts, I have not the same eyes, I have not the same ears. and I have not the same "Intelligence" for all of these are new things are beyond me! But one thing I do know, I am not that same creature. that walked this earth for 26 years. and the Intelligence after those years does not belong to this world. for that intelligence of that period was "temporal" and will past away.

The Future Glory
18Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will reveal to us later. 19For all creation is waiting eagerly for that future day when God will reveal who his children really are. 20Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children,j including the new bodies he has promised us. 24We were given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have something, we don’t need to hopek for it. 25But if we look forward to something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and confidently.)

26And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believersl in harmony with God’s own will. 28And we know that God causes everything to work togetherm for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstbornn among many brothers and sisters. 30And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
(Romans 8) NLT.

Here are two words I think christians miss the mark on.

1. Condemnation

2. Judgment.


Somehow i think they think it means the same, now why do i say that. here is the reason.

When you mention that we all will come to the judgement seat of Christ and be judge for everything we have said and done, right away without delay, they say: "there is no condemnation to those who are in "Christ Jesus'! Which is true! But we are not talking about that. [condemnation]. The conversation is about the judge seat of Christ! And the very one who is hollering the loudest, has slept with about everyone in the church. And that person has a back up corner of "A Men" corners. Who leaves no room for the concerned "repented" True child of God! who whats the guilt to be completely removed. and not just by saying a couple of words! They want the stain wash away, and not by trying to believe in a few words. They want to be wash clean and feel clean again.

There is a different in the words 1. condemnation and Judgment There is no condemnation to the child of God,,,, But The Judgment Seat here can restore your refreshment and cleanse the stain away. but be assured you will stand before the Judge and that chaff will be burn away. Now why would you be wanting to be walking around here contaminating your brothers and sisters in Christ? "that is a act of evilness" or have you been so contaminated that you have become blinded.

New International Version
But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

New Living Translation
I meant that you are not to associate with anyone who claims to be a believer yet indulges in sexual sin, or is greedy, or worships idols, or is abusive, or is a drunkard, or cheats people. Don’t even eat with such people.

It is a reason Why, God's Word if a christian is anyone of these Don' you even eat with such a person, They will "spiritually contaminate you"! Now days Christians do not even understand plain words and what they mean. And always drumming up excuses. not to obey.

Ask me, what to do, my answer: "I don't know" we are so deep in this pit. "sons and daughters", mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. but if they are not family members "BYE, BYE" God gave me the rest! "proclaim the truth to our real families" to others do not even eat with them. "If you love me, keep my commandments' "If you know me ,you will keep my commandments" "If a person says they know me and keep not my commandments is a liar and the truth is not in them"!

 

[Bob Carabbio]

All the complaints I am hearing about the “Institutional church” is that they are “Anti- Bible”.

Actually what's MORE is "Anti-YOUR INTERPRETATION" which is the problem. Both institutions, AND individual Christians follow THEIR OWN interpretation of the Bible, and normally actually think their interpretations are CORRECT. None of 'em are 100% of course, and the Biblical Church of Jesus Christ has NEVER been embodied fully in ANY Denominational system. God, however didn't go deaf, dumb, and blind, whenever the "Biblical Canon" was formalized, and still can, and still does lead his people according to His will - KNOWING that we're human, and will always be imperfect.

I was only just saying in all that I said: Concerning problem words that people cannot agree on. Use a reliable Greek lexicon of New Testament words and for Hebrews Old Testament words a “reliable” Hebrew lexicon. These are the bases, our Bibles are written, with in “Holy Scripture “ references within in them. [For in the original texts there is no such word as “Hell”] it is a coined English word!

you will not fine it in none of the “Manuscripts”. The Codex Alexandrinus, The Codex Sinaiticus, the codex Vaticanus, the Textus Receptus, and also the “Masoretic text”. manuscripts.
If we all use the lexicons we will all come to “agreement” as one.

New Living Translation
I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me. (John 17:21).

I don't doubt that we will not find it in none of the manuscripts Ploughboy, but we may find it in the manuscripts. Forgive me bro, I couldn't resist it.

 

[PloughBoy]

Do you really understand the meaning of these words, or you do not really care, about their exhausted meaning?

1. Provoke

2. Exhortation

3. Speculation

4. Assume

5. Dissimulation

If you do, I am not addressing you! So bye, Mrs. Know-it-all. And to you Mr. Smartie-Pants, bye

This is for, those who "Want-To-Bees" LOL!!!! Funny! Now ask me, "Want to be what"?

"This is day The Lord has made and I shall rejoice and be Glad in it"! YES! Hallelujah! I Love HIM!

HE has filled My heart with glad-ness!



American Standard Version
"Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased."!

What did Apostle Paul say: "Come on and follow me, as I follow Christ".

When I listen to my brothers and sisters speak and talk about things, it seems like they do not understand certain word meaning. But sometimes, but not often, someone will say, I don’t understand that meaning. Which is good, but right here I am speaking about words that are kinda common.

example: Ordain, anti, Sovereign, holiness of God, agape love, benevolent love, grace, common grace, saving grace, trust, faith in God, peace of God, peace that the world gives, some of these words are “Biblical terms” and I think the enemy has us running past them quickly! I hope I am making sense.

the reason why I approached this is because of what I am hearing.
All the complaints I am hearing about the “Institutional church” is that they are “Anti- Bible” now if they are “Anti-Bible”, they are “Anti-Word of God” and if they are “Anti-Word of God” then they are truly, “Anti-Christ”! Because “in light of Scripture “ it is “Anti-Christ”. Now what say you?❤

The Scriptures tell us what antichrist is.. .
