Religion / Re: No Pastor Has Ever Answered This Questions by muttleylaff2: 8:02am On Jul 06, 2015 |
Syncan:SMH, sarcasm isnt not going to help here my friend, so pack it in. Syncan:You please read the below quotes, where the second is my first response to your original post, quoting Bigbang2013 and you. Also please remember that Bigbang2013 specifically mentioned "forsaken" stressing the gravity of the word and you then responded with a point blank Psalm 22 post. Bigbang2013: MuttleyLaff: Syncan: MuttleyLaff:I repeated and/or reposted above both Bigbang2013's and your response for all to see and to jolt your memory From the word go, I have highlighted and zoomed on "forsaken" and not fazed whether or not Psalm 22 was quoted Syncan:You like stretching the truth dont you? Read or listen to what you're writing. Please at least be honest and honorable to admit that the bone of contention is about the word "forsaken" If you've taken of it, welldone to you, if not, no sweat as it wasnt necesarily for your personal consumption alone but was for the general readership's too Syncan:Stop playing the victim card here Oga Can you please not be daft, no one is picking a quarrel with you but what so far has been said, is that, Jesus for the benefit of the disciples uttered in Aramaic the purpose (i.e. the reason all those things were happening, the reason why He was created or the reason why He came to exist) He then after declaring that the purpose (i.e. the process for salvation) is finished or accomplished excused Himself with the "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit" last word Jesus chose His word very carefully and didnt speak impetuously when He used "Eli, Eli, lama, Sabachthani" He actually was paraphrasing the begining of Psalm 22 (i.e. Psalm 22:1) just like He paraphrased the end of Psalm 22 (i.e Psalm 22:31) There are a bunch of other scriptures and messianic psalms Jesus paraphrases. Paul Peter et al also display this behaviour Jesus deliberating DID NOT quote Psalms 22:1 verbatim or directly but consciously changed or switched language and used the Aramaic "sabachthani", so as to make the distinction from the Aramaic "nashatani" "nashatani" and "sabachthani" are both Aramaic "Nashatani" is the Aramaic word for the Hebrew word "azabtani", where in Psalms 22:1 it is correctly translated as the English word "forsaken" Since "Eli, Eli, lama, Sabachthani" is Aramaic, if Jesus meant "forsaken", He would have uttered "Eli, Eli, lama, Nashatani" where "Eli, Eli, lama, Nashatani" would mean "My God, My God, why hath Thou forsaken Me" but He used "Eli, Eli, lama, Sabachthani" which means: "My God, My God, this is why You kept me" or "My God, My God, this is My destiny" (i.e. I was born to do this) or "My God, My God, this is what You permitted" or "My God, My God, this is what You allowed" Unlike some like you, specifically saying or insisting on "forsaken", the Aramaic speaking disciples and others in the crowd who were from Galilee never for a moment thought that Jesus had said God had forsaken Him. How can that possibly be? God, forsaking Jesus? Nah, no, no, no. Those words: "My God, My God, for this I was kept" or "My God, My God, this is why You kept me" or "My God, My God, this is My destiny" (i.e. I was born for this) or "My God, My God, this is what You permitted" or "My God, My God, this is what You allowed" was deliberated spoken in Aramaic by Jesus to God the Father and He spoke it loud and clear enough for the benefit and hearing of the disciples and others who understood Aramaic. He confirmed the plan, confirmed the reason for His crucifixion, and confirmed the execution of the plan He did all this to the hearing of the disciples et al, made it publicly official, so that the beautiful message be known and be passed on to the entire world by the hearers of those unforgetable last words. If you dont get it, if you refuse to admit that it is about the "forsaken" word, if you want to bury head in sand etcetera, so be it. I wasnt quarrelling with you or having a tiff with you. I have a thousand one, better, and more attentive things to do than quarrel with you. I was compelled to share this and my spirit or conscience wouldn't be at peace or stay at rest without sharing the knowledge and besides that, I am lover, not a "quarreller", not a fighter. I've done my bit bro. Have a great week. I should have given up long time because for all it's worth, I've had my posts hidden and got banned twice by the finicky antispam bot, Seun or one of the moderators came to the rescue and unhid the post, only to get slayed again by the antispam bot and hide my post again when trying to clean and tidy up the typos etcetera with another post before cancelling my original post which is no longer hidden. I thought I have edited out what is triggering or setting off the antispam bot but no, I havent, as I still had my post hidden and got banned again hence the muttleylaff2 ID |
