Hypocritical / Contradictory / Conflicting / Verses in The Bible:
I don't follow this blindly - I know of the craziest, most
awful things God did in the Old Testament, as Atheists claim. As
many of the
translations issues I've noted here, I'm wagering that the issue is

Aside from the evils of King David
and King
Solomon (whom we
Christians "hold dearly - to a reverend high ... which is "worship"
by
definition!), here are more items that are worthy of
discussion... keep in mind, the questions (with the foul or slang
content) - is not me!
(For search: bible contradictions, hypocritical verses,

The deadly sins: jealousy, envy
Yet "God is a jealous God".
"Jesus is the same", yet everything is
different now
Don't eat un-clean things, yet "Don't
worry about what you eat or drink"
So many verses about "the tongue", and "bridle it - don't speak", yet...
"Go and preach the gospel to all"
Luke 6:28 - "bless those who cuse you" is also contradictory to
"God blesses those who bless you" in Esther.
Satan has some access to God's presence but only
when God allows it.
So much for "God can't be around evil".

בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל וַיָּ֨סֶת דָּוִ֤ד לֵאמֹ֔ר לֵ֛ךְ מְנֵ֥ה יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל
יְהוּדָֽה׃
Literally translates to: "to add a
nose/face/anger Yahweh (God)
to engrave/burn/be displeased/grieve/be wax hot/be
angry and Israel
entice/persuade/provoke/set on/stir up da-VEED
("David") to say to
come/to go/walk to
count/number
Israel Judas"
1 Chronicles 21:1
The original Hebrew: שָׂטָ֖ן וַיַּֽעֲמֹ֥ד עַל־ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל
וַיָּ֙סֶת֙ דָּוִ֔יד לִמְנֹ֖ות יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
Literally translates to: "an adversary to take
a stand or to stand
upon/above/over Israel
to incite/allure/instigate da-VEED
("David") to count/number
Israel"
These 2 verses are supposedly "proof" that God changes. I have them
listed already, but only the English.
For those who say "those aren't contradictions", then Trump and
Biden -
are the same, no difference. Daytime / night time ... no
difference.
Before we get to the "serious" ones, here are some that ae "not so
important":
Days before the passover::
Mark 14:1-12 (2 days)
Luke 22:1 (approaching)
Matthew 26 (2 days)
John
12 (6
days)
How many angels (messengers) were at the tomb
on Easter morning?
Matthew 28:1-5 - - 1 ANGEL
Mark 16:5 - - - - - - - 1 YOUNG MAN
Luke 24:4 - - - - - - - 2 MEN
John 20:12 - - - - - - 2 ANGELS
Here is then original:
Matthew 28:1-5 …
ἄγγελος - it means "messenger". "His" was ADDED BY TRANSLATORS.
Mark 16:5
νεανίσκον - "a young man/youth/an attendant"
Luke 24:4
δύο ἄνδρες - "2 men in lighten/flash clothing"
John 20:12
δύο ἀγγέλους - 2 messenger
Luke 24:25
"And He said to them, 'O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in
all that the prophets have spoken!"
Original Greek: ὦ ἀνόητοι βραδεῖς καρδίᾳ πιστεύειν πᾶσιν
προφῆται ἐλάλησαν
There is no "And He said to them, O foolish men" - it literally
translates to "not understanding
slow heart to
entrust all/every a
prophet to talk"
Every Translation makes that mistake - they mis-translate "pisteuein"
as "believe", when it actually means "to entrust". Even /
especially the demons
_believe_ - but to _entrust_ one's life - is a
whole different ballgame.
Luke 24:26
"Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to
enter into His glory?"
ἔδει χριστὸν παθεῖν εἰσελθεῖν δόξαν
There is no "Was it not" or "for the Christ", or "these things", and
finally, "into His glory". There are no pronouns in the original
Hebrew
or Greek. Translators added them all. Here is the exact,
literal translation:
"it is necessary The
Messiah to suffer/to feel heavy
emotion to go in/enter
opinion/glory/honor/splendor/majesty"
Luke 24:27
"Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to
them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures."
καὶ Μωϋσέως πάντων προφητῶν διερμήνευσεν περὶ ἑαυτοῦ πάσαις γραφαῖς
It literally translates to "and/also
Mouseh all/every a
prophet to explain
thoroughly about on
one's self all/every a
writing"
John 5:39
"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have
eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;"
ἐραυνᾶτε γραφάς ὅτι δοκεῖτε ἔχειν αἰώνιον ζωὴν ἐκεῖναι μαρτυροῦσαι περὶ
Literally means: "a writing/scripture
that/because/since/for to have an opinion/to
seem to have/hold/possess
agelong/eternal life/lifetime/alive/living
that one to bear
witness/testify about/concerning"
So, the first word (ἐραυνᾶτε) - "ereunaó - is _unknown_ , but
they GUESS that it is "search". Also, "me" at the end was added.
Acts 17:11
"Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they
received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily
to see whether these things were so."
δὲ οὗτοι εὐγενέστεροι τῶν Θεσσαλονίκῃ ἐδέξαντο λόγον πάσης προθυμίας
ἀνακρίνοντες γραφὰς καθ’ εἰ οὕτως
Literally means: "but this of
noble race [yes, a different race]
the thessalonikē to
receive a word [not "the" word]
all/every readiness/eagerness
to examine/investigate a
writing against/according to [ _not_
"daily] in this way"
Romans 7:7
"What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the
contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for
I would not have known about coveting if the Law
had not said, "YOU
SHALL NOT COVET."
Τί ἔλεγεν οὖν νόμος ἁμαρτία μὴ ἀλλὰ ἔγνων ἁμαρτίαν διὰ νόμου ἐπιθυμίαν
εἰ νόμος
The end part: "You shall not covet" is part of the "contradicting
verses - the TR (textus receptus) copies do not agree, so the
Translators voted/guessed / "get it done". The rest of the verse
translates to: "who/which to
say then/and/so
that which is assigned to miss the
mark/transgression/falling short/offence/fault/a failure
not/lest
otherwise/on the other hand to come to
know/recognize/perceive to miss the
mark/transgression/falling short/offence/fault/a failure
through/on account of/because
of that which is
assigned desire/passionate
longing/lust that which is
assigned [then the TR conflicting part - which
they chose the Greek word "epithumēseis" - meaning desire/passionate
longing/lust"
By the way, there is no "you shall not". If you want to research
the TR contradictions, they called them "the missing verses" - stupid
name - but look up "the missing verses" to learn about them.
There are _numerous_ conflicting verses.
Romans 15:4
"For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our
instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the
Scriptures we might have hope."
ὅσα προεγράφη ἐγράφη διδασκαλίαν ἵνα διὰ ὑπομονῆς παρακλήσεως γραφῶν
ἔχωμεν ἐλπίδα
Literally means: "how much/how many to write
before to write
instruction/information in order
that through/on account of/because
of a remaining behind/a patient
enduring a calling to one's
aid a writing to
have/hold expectation/faith/hope"
John 3:18 ("already condemned")
(KJV) "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of
the only begotten Son of God."
πιστεύων κρίνεται πιστεύων κέκριται ἤδη ὅτι πεπίστευκεν ὄνομα
μονογενοῦς υἱοῦ θεοῦ
It literally means " to
entrust/dedicate/commit/believe
on" (NOT "believe IN") to
judge/decide to
entrust/dedicate/commit/believe
on" (NOT "believe IN") to
judge/decide already
that/because/since/for to
entrust/dedicate/commit/believe
on" (NOT "believe IN") a
name/authority one of a
kind a child/foal/kinship/daughter/son/cousin
(by birth or adoption, of an animal or human) God"
So, the "He" and "not" were all added by Translators. Sure, they
used Hermeneutics, but that's still an
art, not a science. As
stated above, ,
"believes" is actually the Greek word "pepisteuken", which means "to
entrust". Even (especially!) the demons
believe. And
believitng is _easy_ - _entrusting_ is
difficult. :-
Psalm 146:3
(KJV) "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom
there is no help."
Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save.
תִּבְטְח֥וּ בִנְדִיבִ֑ים בְּבֶן אָדָ֓ם שֶׁ֤אֵֽין תְשׁוּעָֽה׃
This literally translates to: "to be bold/confident/secure/sure/to
trust [ _not_ "do not trust"]
noble/generous/willing/princely [ _not_ "princes"] and
son and a man
nothing/none deliverance/rescue/victory/salvation"
So, the Bible talks about "the son of man' - even though nobody
actually knows what/who that is - but *everyone* guesses "God". It's a
guess, though. "beVen" means "and son" and "adam" means "a
man". The "in whom there is" (and "do not") were added by translators.
Or, in the NASB, "nor", "in whom there is" were added, and "help " is
incorrect - the Hebrew word "teh-shoo-AH" means
"deliverance/rescue/victory/salvation".
So, the Bible talks about "the son of man' - even though nobody
actually knows what/who that is - but *everyone*) guesses "God".
It's a guess, though. "beVen" means "and son" and "adam"
means "a man". The "in whom there is" (and "do not") were added
by translators.
Psalm 118:8
"It is better to trust in the LORD than
to put confidence in man."
The_original_ Hebrew:
טֹ֗וב לַחֲסֹ֥ות בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בָּאָדָֽם׃
This literally means "pleasant/agreeable to
flee for protection/have hope/put trust Yahweh
(God) to trust and a man"
So, it doesn't mean "humans" - it literally states "a man". So,
"It is" was added by Translators, as well as "in the Lord".
Psalm 118:9
Original Hebrew: טֹ֗וב לַחֲסֹ֥ות בַּיהוָ֑ה מִ֝בְּטֹ֗חַ בִּנְדִיבִֽים׃
This literally means "pleasant/agreeable to
flee for protection/have hope
Yahweh to be
bold/confident/secure/sure
inclined/generous [ not "princes"]
Psalm 11:5
Hebrew: יְהוָה֮ יִ֫בְחָ֥ן צַדִּ֪יק וְ֭רָשָׁע וְאֹהֵ֣ב
חָמָ֑ס נַפְשֹֽׁו׃ שָֽׂנְאָ֥ה
This literally translates to: "Yahweh (God's proper name, not "The
Lord") to
examine/tempt/try just/lawful
condemned/guilty/ungodly to have affection for
(includes ludus and eros: flirting and sexually)
cruelty/damage/injustice/violence against a
breathing creature, including animals (!!)
enemy/foe/be hateful"
Jeremiah 17:9
(KJV) "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:
who can know it?"
(NASB) "The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately
sick; Who can understand it?"
Original Hebrew: הַלֵּ֛ב עָקֹ֥ב מִכֹּ֖ל וְאָנֻ֣שׁ מִ֖י
יֵדָעֶֽנּוּ׃
This literally means: "the inner
person/mind/will insidious/deceitful/tracked by
footprints the
whole/all to be
weak/frail/incurable
who/whoever to know/to repceive/to acknowledge"
So, look at all that was added!
So, "the heart" is incorrect, and "above" was added. "desperately
wicked" is incorrect. But it sure sounds better, and is
"fluffy". But it's false teaching.
Jeremiah 16:19
"O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the
earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity,
and things wherein there is no profit."
The original Hebrew: יְהוָ֞ה עֻזִּ֧י וּמָעֻזִּ֛י וּמְנוּסִ֖י
בְּיֹ֣ום צָרָ֑ה גֹּויִ֤ם יָבֹ֙אוּ֙ מֵֽאַפְסֵי־ אָ֔רֶץ וְיֹאמְר֗וּ
אֲבֹותֵ֔ינוּ נָחֲל֣וּ אַךְ־ שֶׁ֙קֶר֙ הֶ֖בֶל מֹועִֽיל׃ וְאֵֽין־
It actually translates to: "Yahweh
boldness/strong/might/power/refuge a place or
means of safety/protection a place of escape or

vanity/breath/vapor/emptiness to benefit/to be
of use nothing"
So, "gentiles" is incorrect, and "thee" was added, as well as "no" and
"things".
Jeremiah 16:20
"Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?"
The original Hebrew: אָדָ֖ם הֲיַעֲשֶׂה־ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֱלֹהִֽים׃
It actually translates to: "the man
to do or make God the Creator
God the Creator [yes, _again_ ]
So, "Shall a" was added. "gods" is incorrect ... the Hebrew word
is "Elohim", which means "God the Creator", not "gods"(!!!!!)
Jeremiah 16:21
"Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause
them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name
is The LORD."
The original Hebrew: לָכֵן֙ מֹֽודִיעָ֔ם בַּפַּ֣עַם אֹודִיעֵ֥ם
יָדִ֖י גְּבֽוּרָתִ֑י וְיָדְע֖וּ שְׁמִ֥י יְהוָֽה׃
It actually translates to:
"so/therefore/surely to know/to perceive/to
understand/to acknowledge
anvil/corner/footstep to know/to perceive/to
understand/to acknowledge hand (from the elbow
to the fingertips, with an _open_ hand)
boldness/strong/might/power/refuge to know/to
perceive/to understand/to acknowledge a
name Yahweh"
So, "behold" was added, and "I will this once cause them to", "I will
cause them to", "mine", "and they shall know that my name is The LORD"
is only "to know/understand name
Yehweh". Dictator ("King") James used "lord", which is
British monarchy, to make "kings" and "lords" sound great. But
the original words aren't close.
Acts 7:38
οὗτος ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐρήμῳ μετὰ ἀγγέλου λαλοῦντος ὄρει Σινᾶ πατέρων ἐδέξατο
ζῶντα λόγια δοῦναι
It
means (literally) "this an
assembly/congregation/gathering
solitary/desolate
with/among/afterward a
messenger
to talk a mountain
sina a father/parent to
receive to live a
saying to give"
Acts 19:32
οὖν ἄλλοι ἔκραζον μὲν ἄλλο ἐκκλησία συγκεχυμένη
τίνος ἕνεκα
συνεληλύθεισαν
It means (literally) "then/and/so
other/another to scream/cry
out shows affirmation or
concession other/another an
assembly/congregation/gathering to pour
together
who-which on account of
to come together"
Acts 19:39
εἰ ἐπιζητεῖτε τι ἐπιλυθήσεται ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ
It means (literally) "to inquire for (as I have asked you several
times, no reply that has to do with my questions - only more
non-Christian vitriol and insults)
legal an assembly/congregation/gathering"
- - - - -
John 20:17 (God is a HE! Or is God?)
(KJV) "Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to
my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my
Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."
The original Greek: Ἰησοῦς λέγει μή οὔπω ἀναβέβηκα πατέρα
This literally translates to "Yeshua to say/speak/tell
not/that not yet to go
up/ascend a father/parent"
With Hermeneutics, the Translators added
"to her" and "touch me" was
also added. The "not" is also redundant, but it is the original Greek.
So, they assume He said it to Magdeline.
It continues with:
"I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God"
ἀναβαίνω πατέρα πατέρα θεόν θεόν
"anabainō patera patera theos theon"
"to go up/arise/ascend/climb a
father/parent a father/parent
God God"
So, "Im am" was added, as well as "to my" and "and your" - in both
cases.
John 16:23
"Most truly I say to you, If you ask the Father for anything he will
give it to you in my name."
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ἂν αἰτήσητε πατέρα ὀνόματι δώσει
Pronounced : "ah-MANE ah-MANE an ahee-teh'-o pah-TAIR
o'-no-mah dee'-do-mee"
These 5 words literally mean:
"firmly/trustworthy/surely/truth/sincerity
firmly/trustworthy/surely/truth/sincerity
ask/beg/call/for/request/crave/desire/require a parent or a
father called/surnamed
bestow/commit/deliver"
So, "truly" actually means "firmly/surely/trustworthy", not "truly",
and "if you" was added by Translators, as well as "the [Father]", and
"for anything, he will", and "he", "you", and "my". See how much was
added?
John 14:20
"in that day you will know that I am in My Father You are in Me and I
am in You."
(KJV) "At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me,
and I in you."
The original Koine Greek: ἡμέρᾳ ὑμεῖς πατρί
Yes, just 3 words - literally
translates to: "day (the time space between dawn and dark)
to come to
know/recognize/perceive a father"
Yes, all the rest ... "in that", "you will", "that I am My", and
"You are in Me and I am in You" - were _all added by Translators_
. Yes, they used Hermeneutics - but that is an _art_ , not a
science (!!!) Don't forget - all chapters, verses,
punctuation, all pronouns - were _added by Translators_ ... and
"Christians" will not only _justify_ those additions, they _embrace_
them. Again, after touting/preaching "it can't be changed!"
John 14:24
"Whoever does not love me does not observe my words. The word that you
are hearing is not mine, but belongs to the Father who sent me."
ἀγαπῶν τηρεῖ λόγους λόγος ὃν ἀκούετε ἐμὸς πατρός πέμψαντος
This literally means: "agapé [to love with Church
love] to watch over/to guard/hold
fast/keep a word a word [yes,
_again_ ] who/which to
hear/listen my a
father/parent to send"
So, "Whoever does not"was added, "me", "does not", "my", "The", "you
are", "is not mine, but belongs to the" and "who" and "me" - were all
added.
John 14:1
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Exercise faith in God; exercise
faith also in me."
(KJV) "Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also
in Me."
καρδία ταρασσέσθω πιστεύετε θεὸν πιστεύετε καὶ
Literally means "kardia (heart) to
stir up to
entrust/dedicate/commit/believe
on
God to
entrust/dedicate/commit/believe
on
and/even"
"do not let your" was added, "be" and "Exercise", "in", and "me" were
added.
This also gives ammunition to "Jesus IS NOT
God".
John 16:24
Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name:
ask, and ye shall receive,
that your joy may be full.
ἕως ἄρτι ᾐτήσατε οὐδὲν ὀνόματι αἰτεῖτε λήμψεσθε ἵνα χαρὰ πεπληρωμένη
"till/until
this day/hour/here/even
now/present to ask/beg/call

one/none

Ancient of days - is actually
עַתִּ֤יק יֹֽומַיָּא֙
"at·tik yo·v·mai·ya"
It means "aged day" (Aramaic corresponding to "attiq",
where we get "antique" from)
Daniel 7:9, and supposedly Isaiah 43:13 - but I don't see it there.
Isaiah 43:11
(KJV) "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."
(NASB) "I, even I, am the LORD, And there is no savior besides Me."
This is actually 3 Hebrew words: יְהוָ֑ה וְאֵ֥ין מֹושִֽׁיעַ׃
It literally means "Yahweh nothing
to deliver"
The "I, even I, am the LORD" was added,
as the "and there is no", and "saviour" is "to deliver", and finally,
"besides Me" was added.
Other than that - it’s perfect. Ha ha.
Inconsistencies in The Bible
OK, we all know that The Canon
("The
Bible", meaning "the book" in
Greek) was written - by many writers - between
80 years after the fact - to 200 years. Now, do you really think
an age 14 teenager's story .... will be the exact same as when that
teen is age 94? And that is the minimal year! With that
in mind, here are some known "inconsistencies":
Who Carried Jesus’ Cross?
In The Passion narratives, did Jesus carry his cross or not?
– Mark 15:21, Matthew 27:32, Luke 23:26 - Jesus gets help from
Simon of Cyrene
– John 19:17 - Jesus carries his cross the whole way
John 19:17
"And he bearing his cross..."
ἐξῆλθεν βαστάζων ἑαυτῷ σταυρὸν
"to go or come out of bear/carry/take
up/lift of
himself/herself/itself an upright stake"
There are other mistakes in this verse: "to the place called" is
actually "to say", and "which is called" is "Who to say"
Inscription on Jesus’ Cross
When crucified, Jesus’ cross had an
inscription — but what did it read?
–
Mark 15:26 - The inscription read: "The King of the Jews."
– Matthew 27:37 - The inscription read: "This is Jesus the King
of the
Jews."
– Luke 23:38 - The inscription read: "This is the King of the
Jews."
– John 19:19 - The inscription read: "Jesus of Nazareth, the King
of
the Jews."
And ALL 4 PASSAGES ARE MISSING VERSES!!!
Luke 23:37
(KJV) "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him,
saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us."
λέγοντες εἰ βασιλεὺς Ἰουδαίων σῶσον σεαυτόν
"to say a a sovereign
power Jewish/a Jew/from
Judea
save/rescue/deliver/heal/preserve relating to
yourself"
So, "And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him" was
added, ", If thou be Christ", and "and us" - ALL ADDED.
Jesus and the Thieves
Some gospels say Jesus was crucified with two thieves, though the
Romans never crucified thieves.
– Mark - The two thieves are mentioned, but there is no
conversation
– Matthew 27:44 - The two thieves taunt Jesus
– Luke 23:39-42 - One thief taunts Jesus and is criticized by the
other. Jesus promises the 2nd thief that they would be in Paradise that
day [see below], though John and Acts say he did not ascend to heaven
until 40 days
after his resurrection
– John - The two men aren’t described as thieves
Does Jesus Drink Wine or Vinegar?
Jesus is given something to drink while he is on the cross, but what?
– Mark 15:23 - Jesus is given wine mixed with myrrh, but he
doesn’t drink
– Matthew 27:48, Luke 23:36 - Jesus is given vinegar, but he
doesn’t drink
– John 19:29-30 - Jesus is given vinegar, and he drinks
See "wine" section.
Jesus and the Centurion
Romans supposedly witnessed Jesus’ crucifixion,
but what did they think?
– Mark 15:39 - A centurion is cited as saying: "Truly this man
was the son of God!"
– Matthew 27:54 - A centurion is cited as saying: "Truly this was
the son of God."
– Luke 23:47 - A centurion is cited as saying: "Truly this man
was innocent."
– John - No centurions say anything
Women Watch the Crucifixion:
The gospels describe several women as having followed Jesus around, but
what did they do when Jesus was crucified?
– Mark 15:40, Matthew 27:55, Luke 23:49 - Several women watch
Jesus from afar
– John 19:25-26 - Several women are close enough that Jesus could
talk to his mother, contrary to Roman practices
When Was Jesus Crucified?
The crucifixion of Jesus is the central event of the Passion narrative,
but the narratives don’t agree on when the crucifixion occurred.
– Mark 15:25 - Jesus was crucified on "hour 3"
– John 19:14-15 - Jesus was crucified on "hour 6"
– Matthew, Luke - It’s not stated when the crucifixion starts,
but the "hour 6" occurs during the crucifixion
Jesus’ Last Words
Jesus’ last words before dying are important, but no one seems to have
written them down.
– Mark 15:34-37, Matthew 27:46-50 -
Jesus says: "My God, my God,
why have you forsaken me?" (but they use different Greek words for
"God" — Matthew uses "Eli, is" and Mark uses "Eloi")
– Luke 23:46 - Jesus says: "Father, into your hands I commit my
spirit." The original text was "Abba
[Father]...
"Into your hands I
commit my spirit"
Original Hebrew: beyadkha afkid rukhi
= "in your hand I will [commit] (to breathe out, to expire) my spirit"
be- = in
yadkha = your (m. singular) hand [yes, only \'hand\', not \'hands\']
afkid = I will breathe out, expire.
ru\'akh = spirit
rukhi = my spirit
The first verb is in Jesus’ statement - paratíthēmi (παρατίθημι). This
word is defined as, "to place alongside (as a trust or for protection,
the keeping of), put forth, set before." It is an active term where the
subject makes a decision to put in trust or give over. A brief list of
the translation of paratíthēmi include:
- King James
Version: Commend
- New International Version: Commit
- New Living Translation: Entrust
- Good News Translation: Place
Those four words, commend, commit, entrust, and place, are chosen by
most translators. The other word that can often have different
translations in English is the verb that describes the actual moment of
Jesus’ death. Some translations focus on making it an active verb, like
paratíthēmi, emphasizing Jesus’ choice. Others translate it using a
more passive voice, where death happened to Jesus, rather than Jesus
relinquishing His life. The word ekpneó (ἐκπνέω) means "to breathe out,
to expire."
NOTE: when Jesus said, "Into your hands I commit my spirit," He was
quoting the Scroll of Psalm 31:5. Earlier, Jesus had also quoted from
Psalm 22:1 from the cross
(Matthew 27:46). In everything Jesus did
and
said, He fulfilled the will of God and the word of God. Even in the
throes of death, our Lord was sensible of His mission and pointed those
around Him to the fulfillment of prophecy. Psalm 31 is a prayer of
David in distress, full of trust in God, and in Luke 23 the Son of
David echoes the same prayer.
"Why have you forsaken me?" ALL of this verse -
is
one of the many "missing
verses"!!
It
has been "sugar coated" - the original Aramaic means "This is my
destiny". Matthew 27:46 (and Mark
15:34) records Jesus speaking
Aramaic: "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (Matthew) / "Eloi, Eloi, lama
sabachthani?" (Mark).
The original Word in GREEK: σαβαχθανί
Transliteration: sabachthani
Phonetic Spelling: (sab-akh-than-ee')
Definition: "you have forsaken me"
This word "forsaken" in Hebrew means "help and let alone’. Although
this was spoken and written in Aramaic,
God
didn’t reject Jesus,
because He is the perfect and holy offering
-
Lamb of God, but this
shout of Jesus means that He alone must accomplish redemption, without
the help of the Father. With the excruciating pain - and for 6
hours!!) - he was in absolute despair.
The Crucifixion
John 19:23
Art depicts Jesus in a loincloth – the brutal truth is _he would
have
been naked_
. Although John 19:23 states "Then the soldiers, when they had
crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every
soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven
from the top throughout." I always go by the original Greek (and you
can to - read below):
οὖν στρατιῶται ὅτε ἐσταύρωσαν Ἰησοῦν ἔλαβον ἱμάτια ἐποίησαν τέσσαρα
μέρη μέρος ἑκάστῳ στρατιώτῃ χιτῶνα δὲ χιτὼν ὑφαντὸς ὅλου
This literally means: "then/and/so a
soldier
when to fence with
stakes Yeshua
to
take/receive an outer garment/a
cloak/robe to
make/do four
(4) a
part/share/portion a part/share/portion
[yes, _again_ ]
each/every a
soldier a
tunic
but/and/now a
tunic ["without seam/seamless" was added
by translators]
woven whole/complete"
So,"his garments" was actually "an outer garment/a cloak/robe", and
"the coat" is actually "tunic" - which is a vest, and as stated above,
"without seam", or "seamless" was added by translators, and "woven from
the top throughout" is only "woven whole/complete"
Either Yeshua ("Jesus") was the ONLY crucified
person who was NOT
naked, or the script is wrong.
– John 19:30 - Jesus says: "It is finished." Closer to "it
is completed" or "it is over".
The original Greek: τετελέσται κλίνας κεφαλὴν παρέδωκεν πνεῦμα
The Greek word τετελέσται (tel-eh'-o) literally means "to
complete/fulfill/to bring to
an end/execute/conclude/discharge"
The rest of the above Greek means: "to cause to
bend head to give
or deliver over/to betray wind/breath."
There is no "And Jesus said" - or "it is" - those were both added by
translators.
Also, "He bowed his head" is actually only "klee-no" - meaning "to
cause to bend" or "to incline/to lay down/to turn aside".
Next, "and gave up his Spirit" - is actually "paredōken
pneuma". "Paredōken" means "to hand over/to deliver/to
betray". Lastly, you have heard of "pneumatic tools"? It
came from pneuma: wind/air/breath … _not_ "spirit".
(thirsty, sign on the cross, king of the jews)
So Mark 16:16 conflicts with John 3:16
(and
many others).
The original Greek: πιστεύσας βαπτισθεὶς σωθήσεται ἀπιστήσας
κατακριθήσεται
Literally means: "to entrust to
dip/sink to rescue/deliver/save/heal/preserve
to disbelieve/be
faithless to give
judgment against"
So, "believe" is incorrect - "entrust" (to trust in) is far
deeper than "believe" anyway, as with 3:16, the word "pisteusas" is
always mistranslated to "believe". Lucifer and the millions of Demons
*believe* - and far more than any human. Does that mean
_they_ are saved?
Many use Deuteronomy 21:23 to prove the crucifixion:
(KJV) "His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou
shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed
of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth
thee for an inheritance."
נִבְלָתֹ֜ו תָלִ֨ין הָעֵ֗ץ קָבֹ֤ור תִּקְבְּרֶ֙נּוּ֙ הַה֔וּא בַּיֹּ֣ום
תָּל֑וּי קִלְלַ֥ת קִלְלַ֥ת תְטַמֵּא֙ אַדְמָ֣תְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה
אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן נַחֲלָֽה׃
This literally translates to: "a
carcass/corpse to lodge/pass the
night the wood to
bury to bury [yes, _again_
] he/she/it
day to hang a
curse Elohim [God] the
be or become unclean
ground
who/which/that Yahweh
[God] God [yes, _again_
] to give/put/set
possession/property"
As you can see, _all_ "thy" and "not" were added, as well as several
other mistakes.
Another argument against the nails being driven through an area that
contained carpals is that Scripture tells us "not a bone of Him will be
broken".
John 19:33
The small, lighter weight bones placed very close together forming the
center of the hand, carpals and metacarpals, would have been nearly
impossible to pierce through with a nail without breaking some of them.
However that (not a bone of Him will be broken") is itself broken -
when the guards broke his legs.
2 Sabbaths
"There were 2 Sabbaths" theory:
refer to Leviticus 23:3-8 as support for their view.
"For 6 days work may be done, but on Day 7 there is a
sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any
work; it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings."
Leviticus 23:3
(NASB)
Verse 3 refers to the seventh day Sabbath and calls it a convocation.
This verse defines the weekly Sabbath. Then the passage refers to other
appointed times and calls them convocations. These other times include
the Lord’s Passover (v. 5), the Feast of Unleavened Bread (v. 6-8), the
Feast of First Fruits (v. 9-14), the Feast of Weeks (v. 15-22), the
Feast of Trumpets (v. 23-25), the Day of Atonement (v. 26-32), and the
Feast of Booths (v. 33-43). Those who hold to this view believe the
holy convocation of the Feast of Unleavened Bread in verse 6 is a
special High Sabbath. The Feast of Unleavened Bread follows the
Passover according to Leviticus 23:4-6.
The Passover occurred on Nisan 14 (Exodus 12:1-6; Deuteronomy 16:1).
Then on Nisan 15 the Feast of Unleavened Bread commenced (a 7-day
feast). Thus Christ was crucified and died on the afternoon of Friday,
Nisan 14 in the year A.D. 33 (Luke 23:50-54). The weekly Sabbath
commenced that evening at 18:00 (6pm).. In the Hebrew calendar, the
Sabbath
started on Nisan 15 at 18:00 (6pm).
Now here is the problem. Some claim there were 2 Sabbaths in the week
Jesus was crucified. That is, they claim the Passover (Nisan 14), was
followed by the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Nisan 15),
which was concurrent with the weekly Sabbath worship day (Nisan 15) in
the year A.D. 30. Thus, they conclude there were 2 concurrent
Sabbaths. Thus, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was a
special High Sabbath. But there are 3 problems with this view.
Meaning of Sabbath and Convocation
The first problem is that the Hebrew word for Sabbath has both a
general and a technical meaning. The Hebrew word for Sabbath is sabbat.
It has a broad range of meaning of "the 7th day of the week," "week,"
and "a period of time for resting" or "a period of rest."
Baruch Levine in his commentary on Leviticus in the JPS Torah
Commentary series, published by The Jewish Publication Society,
comments on the phrase "sabbath of complete rest" in Leviticus 23:3. We
must not ignore the entire phrase. In other contexts, the term
shabbat may connote a "sabbath," namely, an
occasion that resembles the Sabbath, such as the last year in the
seven-year sabbatical cycle or a week, which ends on the Sabbath day.
Hebrew shabbaton expresses that which is like the Sabbath and as such
designates the Day of Atonement and other occasions, including the Day
1 and 7 of festivals.
His point is that sabbat can have a technical meaning referring to
the Day 7 of rest, but it also has a general meaning of just rest.
That is the situation in Leviticus 23:4-44 when it refers to the list
of feasts or convocations. We should also notice that sabbat can and
does simply refer to rest as in Leviticus 25:2, 4, 6, 8; Leviticus
26:34-35 and 2 Chronicles 36:21. In those passages we are told the land
was to have a sabbath. Obviously, the land did not worship at the
temple on the Sabbath day. Instead, the land had a period of rest from
being planted and harvested. That is, sabbat can have a broad meaning.
The Hebrew word for convocation is miqra. It simply means assembly,
group, a gathering, or a convocation. We should note that miqra occurs
in Isaiah 1:13 in contrast to the sabbath. It also occurs in Isaiah 4:5
as a general assembly. It is extremely unlikely that miqra has been
redefined as sabbat in Leviticus 23:3.
As stated above, the contradictions:
The Sabbath must be kept (Exodus 20:8)
The Sabbath broken by God (Isiah 1:13 / Romans 14:5 / Collosians 2:16)
No work to be done on the Sabbath - under penalty of death!
Jesus broke the Sabbath and justified the Disciples in teh same (John 5:16 / Matthew 12:3,5)
The Sabbath instituted (Exodus 20:8)
The Sabbath repudiated (Isaiah 1:13 / Romans 14:5 / Collosians 2:16)
The Sabbath instituted because God rested on the seventhh day (and God never rests) (Exodus 20:11)
The Sabbath instituted because God brought Israel out of Egypt (Deutoronomy 5:15)
