@pettytalksaid Anyone reading the Bible will recall that Jesus specifically attributed the possibility of everything to God, using a colorful simile that involved camels and the eye of a needle to illustrate the improbability of the rich entering the Kingdom.
Scholars confirm that Greek was widely used in the region and beyond. It was the language of the learned, alongside Latin. There ...[text shortened]... we are focusing on Jesus, the man, and must set aside the 'speaking in tongues' for this discussion.
But where in Scripture does it suggest that Jesus received a better education? And does Scripture also mention, directly or indirectly, anything related to Jesus' education in linguistics?
Please consider Luke 46-48: 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished.
While this does not directly answer your questions, it may be reasonable to think that spending time with so many educated people may have allowed Jesus to learn at least some of the Greek language and can definitely be of help in educating Jesus to a few levels above that of an ordinary carpenter.
Right wingers can cheer (for now), your god Trump is named co-conspirator UN indicted, that is unless Rudy or Mark flip, since Rudy knows where ALL the bodies are buried.
That is also why Trump has not s ...[text shortened]... es are buried so God Trump does not want to rile Davy. Anyone else is fair game but not buddy Davy.
I still don't understand what his supporters see in him. He's a convicted fraudster, lifelong womanizer who fathered 5 children by 3 different ladies (not including the illegitimate ones) a tax and payroll cheat who doesn't pay his employees and respects only dictators of other countries.
Nikki Haley could easily defeat Joe Biden, yet his supporters stand by him, and believe all his lies as if they were listening to God himself. I don't get it. 🙄
Agreed, and I posted the same thoughts on this topic (though not as detailed) here before, but that's all one can do. Present the info. and let them make their own decisions about it.
@averagejoe1said as a Trump supporter, if he has any downfall, it will be these Comments each day. I expect his lawyers are telling him to be very careful what he says. It is good that he gets out there so America will see this human being, being chased into hell like the pitiful character in the movie elephant man. He turned to the crowd and said I am a human being.
One of you actu ...[text shortened]... more, will be spent on the immigrants. They have taken lives of our citizens, and the list goes on.

Boo Hoo Hoo - This man has lived in luxury and been treated like royalty his whole life, and now he has to follow the same rules as the rest of us - it just breaks my heart. -NOT! 😢
@pettytalksaid The question of whether Jesus spoke Greek has been debated among scholars.
Are there any scholars here which can shed light on what the debate was all about?
As a primer, the following was gleaned by Wikipedia:
There exists a consensus among scholars that the language of Jesus and his disciples was Aramaic. Aramaic was the common language of Judea in the first cen ...[text shortened]... ve to Judea. It is reasonable to assume that Jesus was well versed in Hebrew for religious purposes.
Did Jesus speak Greek?
It's quite possible. Scripture would suggest Jesus was better educated than the average Jewish tradesman. In addition, Greek was a respected and widely used language in the region.
@averagejoe1said A tax evasion witness.?? What has that got to do with this case? What crime was Trump trying to conceal, anyway. That has not been made clear.
The trouble for Trump is this minefield, one slip of tongue, (and he does a lot of talking) could backfire on him, and we could lose it.
If Biden wins, are y'all going to make us house the immigrants, legal and ille ...[text shortened]... liberalized. Everyone would indeed, at the end of the day, all end up in the same place. Brrrrrr
I'm sure its puzzling to you Joe, but the prosecutions documented and taped evidence paints a very clear picture of fraud and election interference.
This is simple-to-read, ( No Marauder Links!!) The Trial For Dummies (I made that up).
Here is the last paragraph, if you are worn out from SHouse posts. It makes the point.
""After taking a long, hard look at potential state charges against Trump stemming from the pay ...[text shortened]... and treating it as 34 felonies stretches the bounds of credulity as well as the bounds of the law.""
Dear Joe - Quoting a grand total of one (1) carefully handpicked fringe website clarifies absolutely nothing.
If Trump is as squeaky clean as he claims, this trial should be no big deal, so let the legal process work Joe, it's worked reasonably well for nearly 250 years. 😲

This looks pretty nice. I'll be back here to rejoin and compete before the end of the year. My recent OTB events have been fun, but travel expense and adjusting my schedule around tournament dates doesn't always work for me. Correspondence chess is looking more appealing.
If I or anyone else had cheated on their state or federal taxes, falsified business records, incited an armed mob to storm the Capital building, where they bashed in windows, kicked in doors, killed and injured police officers. If I had stolen government documents, then refuse to give them back despite multiple requests to do so. If I or anyone else had paid off pornstars and playmates to keep them quiet in order to suppress negative press in order to win an election. I or anyone else would have been sitting in a prison cell for at least the last 2 years - and would be staying there for a very long time.
This man has been treated like royalty by the criminal justice system and still he snivels and whines about being victimized. For the 1st time in decades, he's in a place where he doesn't get to make all the rules and has to answer to someone besides himself. Your delay tactics have run their course, and its finally time to face a jury of your peers. So, stop crying like a little child with a broken toy and deal with it! 😏
@pettytalksaid Is not scripture written by man, allowing for divine inspiration for the writing?
I was under the impression that logic is logic, no matter the source.
How does scriptural logic work?
I was under the impression that logic is logic, no matter the source.
With all due respect, I'm not impressed with your impression. Human logic has its limitations, just as all humans do. God is limitless, using human logic to try to explain or understand God and/or his inspired word is futile.
@averagejoe1said So, she was arrested. So, I assume up to this point that we all agree that societal matters and issues and laws moved along as provided for. Am I right, that she should have been arrested?
Then, why does her hoodied mother, in a sense a law officer, take exception to her being arrested? How can you just loll around like her complaint is just the order of the day? ...[text shortened]... -rashida-tlaib-call-out-arrest-of-squad-member-ilhan-omars-daughter-at-columbia-anti-israel-protest/
So, she was arrested. So, I assume up to this point that we all agree that societal matters and issues and laws moved along as provided for. Am I right, that she should have been arrested?
Yes, I'm sure she should have been arrested, along with the others. She knew the rules and broke them. So, why are you making such a big deal out of this? People get arrested at protest rally's every week.
Seriously, who is interested in him? I think that we can definitely conclude that all presidential votes will be, quite simply, votes against Trump.
Further, I sayeth not.
I'd be more concerned about the guy who's running for President in order escape multiple prison sentences, instead of who sells the most books. 😏
@pettytalksaid A real expert on reality made the following affirmation.
"The real world, was created by the real Jesus, who is the real Word of God, who entered into the real world He created, as the real incarnate Word of God made fully human."
The above affirmation begs questioning.
Question: In what world was Jesus/God living before creating the 'real' world into which he cam ...[text shortened]... eality and truth, there are myriad illusions and myriad lies.
Illusions = Lies as Reality = Truth
It would seem logical to assume that in order to come into something, there must be something outside of the thing to come into.
This is just another case of trying to use human logic to explain something scriptural; as I've said here many times - - it doesn't work that way.
@averagejoe1said Because Trump is being improperly accused. Have you seen the news on it? Bragg has no jurisdiction with regard to a Federal law, and the misdemeanor's Statute of Limitations has run.
It was refreshing to see a normal question from the sonhouse. Thumb up from AJoe.
Have you seen the news on it? Bragg has no jurisdiction with regard to a Federal law.
You depend on your news source for legal advice? OMG- - 🙄
