Text of the page (random words):
refuse to believe in order that upon them there may not dawn the light of the good news which tells of the glory of christ in whom we can see god 8 barkley s assertion is wrong on two levels first their minds weren t blinded because they refused to believe they refused to believe because their minds were blinded by yahweh secondly this logic makes the devil a co redemptive partner working in tandem with god john eleazer a k a lazarus explained the process of god hardening the jewish heart 9 john 12 40 he has blinded their eyes and has hardened their heart that they might not see with the eyes and understand with the heart and be converted and i should heal them esv do you see the connection in our study verse it is wrongly taught the devil blinds the eyes yet here it is god performing the blinding i never realized how well these two guys worked together the word hardened is in the greek active voice which speaks of action performed by the subject yahweh on the recipient heart that was unable to comprehend the true purpose of the old covenant the hardening caused them to reject the messiah yahweh hardened their hearts and the result was unbelief william barkley got it backwards saul a k a paul had a heart hardened by sin and consequently arrested disciples and was breathing murderous threats before his conversion acts 9 paul s heart was so hardened that jesus appeared in person to convince saul yeshua was the true messiah in 1 st timothy 1 13 16 paul admitted his previous actions stemmed from an unbelief so powerful that the savior had to undo the hardening healing him from his unbelief hermeneutics provides the framework and guidance for interpretation but often this essential truth finding is not applied resulting in bogus logic and wrong interpretation the following chart is an example i found where hermeneutics was not applied and resulted in a heretical interpretation assigning to satan that which has always been god s role 2 cor 4 4 2 cor 4 6 satan blinds god creates the light the light of the gospel of the knowledge of the glory of the glory of christ of god who is the image of god in the face of christ just like the sesame street song one of these things is not like the other the author of the chart wrongly assigns to satan that which was god s had the translator replaced satan s name with god s then we would have a perfect example of the type of jewish poetry that is contained in scripture this chart does not reflect the hebrew writers x y style of writing as translated we see that satan shares the exact same power as yahweh performing identical works yet jesus said all power was given to him matt 28 18 which is it was jesus lying and satan somehow held on to his power or did the translator get this wrong here is further pauline proof that god was the executor of the jewish blindness romans 11 7 what then israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for but the election hath obtained it and the rest were blinded romans 11 8 according as it is written god hath given them the spirit of slumber eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear unto this day romans 11 9 and david said let their table be made a snare and a trap and a stumbling block and a recompense unto them romans 11 10 let their eyes be darkened that they may not see and bow down their back always you may think you have solid arguments certain to correct my logic so let s have a quick mock debate argument 1 tj in 2 nd corinthians 4 4 god is written in lower case letters indicating paul was not referring to yahweh my response theos does not have a capital letter the translator chose to use upper or lower case letters determined by context and usage paul did not write theos 567 times with a capital t then only once with a lower case t paul only wrote the word theos next argument 2 tj 2 nd corinthians 4 4 ε ̓ ν ο ἷ ς ο ̔ θεο ς του ͂ αι ̓ ω ͂ νος τού του ε ̓ τυ ́ φλωσε τα νοη ́ ματα τω ͂ ν α ̓ πι ́ στων ει ̓ ς το μη αυ ̓ γ ά σαι αυ ̓ τοι ͂ ς yeah doesn t it intimidate you when authors write entire sentences as if you read greek see tj notice how the definite article the is used greek letter o is the word the that proves paul was not referring to god but a god or a false god my answer first a is not an option as in a god the letter a as a single object is not used as a definite article but if you are trying to prove the definite article the in v 4 somehow means paul was not referring to the father then let s see how that argument holds up in light of scripture if what you say is true we should not be able to find paul ever using the to refer to any of the names of the trinity fair enough romans1 4 declared to be the son of god with power grace to you and peace from god our father and the lord jesus christ romans 1 17 for therein is the righteousness of god romans 1 25 and served the creature more than the creator romans 3 29 is he the god of the jews only in our hearts by the holy ghost romans 8 9 but ye are not in the flesh but in the spirit romans 8 16 the spirit itself bears witness romans 10 9 confess with thy mouth the lord jesus other examples the will of god the church of god the right hand of god the voice of god the spirit of god etc we find this in 2 nd corinthians 1 3 blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ the father of compassions 2 corinthians 3 3 you are demonstrating that you are the messiah s letter there is a problem with this verse paul did not supply the definite article in that verse the translator added it let s continue 2 nd corinthians 4 4 in their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of those who do not believe to keep them from seeing the light of the glorious gospel of the messiah who is the image of god 2 nd corinthians 6 16 the temple of the living god have i proven that adding the greek definite article the in front of theos does not mean it is satan now you understand it was the decision of the early translators to convert theos into either god or god which they got wrong in this instance what would it mean if paul had supplied the as a definite article in front of theos and the translator chose to remove it would it be considered irresponsible of the translator would we call it heresy would it mean the translator was trying to hide something or eschew paul s writings to make the text fit into the translator s understanding for this next point i will make let me be a little more preposterous would it mean the opposite of what paul was writing here s my example look at 2 nd corinthians 4 6 which comes two verses after our study verse for god who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of god in the face of jesus christ seems normal right here s the problem the greek manuscripts commonly used meaning the textus receptus the apostolic bible polyglot don t ask the greek nt and the westcott hort clearly carried the definite article the in front of the word theos so it should read like this for the god who commanded the light to shine out of darkness hath shined in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of the god in the face of jesus christ see my point here s a perfect example of paul writing the god but the translators choosing to leave it out gee in our culture isn t that the same as a jot or tittle isn t that the same as taking away or adding to scripture maybe it s the devil paul was writing of since people think it is the devil two verses earlier i m being sarcastic here but in both verses separated by less than 50 words paul really did write the god yet in one verse we are told it was the devil and two verses later told it was yahweh you can t assume the devil in verse 4 and god in verse 6 if paul wrote the in verse 6 why wasn t it inserted in the bible because the translator erred again why would a translator make this mistake because they interpreted manuscripts based on their presuppositions and flawed doctrines you need to understand that men from all centuries have translated scripture based on their own concept of doctrine it s unavoidable to a degree they must rely on their understanding of doctrine or 90 of the manuscripts would make no sense but it s the 10 that continues to cause trouble another example 2 nd corinthians 9 13 by their approval of this service they will glorify god because of your submission flowing from your confession of the gospel of christ the manuscripts mentioned earlier all recorded that paul wrote the god because of your submission but the translators omitted it does that mean paul was writing about satan paul intentionally wrote the god it s the exact phrase used in 4 4 and we have been told by the experts that 4 4 referred to satan because it has a little g which really doesn t even exist clear as mud right here is one last example of liberties taken by translators matthew 2 22 but when he heard that archelaus did reign in judaea in the room of his father herod he was afraid to go thither notwithstanding being warned of god in a dream he turned aside into the parts of galilee kjv asv geneva kingdom bible and several others added of god to this verse the esv litv ylt the new greek testament the aramaic english nt the net bible the new english bible the life application bible and others did not add these two words to the text why because they were not supplied by the original author the translators thought they were helping us understand who was doing the warning by sending the dream just because the definite article is or is not translated and is or is not capitalized does not mean that a verse speaks of the devil clearly paul used the phrase for yahweh and translators ignored it what s my point be a berean and study it for yourself don t depend on the translation understand new covenant theology and you will sense when you are reading something that isn t consistent with established doctrine understand the nature of how yahweh moved through the old and new covenants and you will understand who the only person is who can truly blind the minds of those who did not believe you probably forgot we are in the middle of a mock debate so let s resume argument 3 tj have you forgotten about this verse matthew 4 8 again the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory and he said to him all these i will give you if you will fall down and worship me see tj satan was in control of the world even if only back then because he said he was my response well you got me there yeah i guess you are right but wait i m thinking of a verse in umm john 8 44 yeshua said you are of your father the devil and your will is to do your father s desires he was a murderer from the beginning and has nothing to do with the truth because there is no truth in him when he lies he speaks out of his own character for he is a liar and the father of lies let s think logically here ok the only time satan decided to tell the truth was when he told jesus he had the authority to give jesus the kingdoms of the world this same satan jesus describes as having nothing to do with the truth if satan said he controlled the world and kingdoms and jesus said satan was the father of lies then satan lied about that too the reason satan was unable to give the kingdoms to jesus was because he was not the ruler of this world if you want to continue believing that satan was telling the truth to jesus that day then go right ahead remember matthew 28 18 and jesus came and said to them all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me consider this if paul believed satan was still god of that world 25 years after jesus said that he alone possessed all authority in heaven and on earth then either paul was 1 a heretic 2 a servant of satan 3 horribly confused or drum roll please 4 jesus did possess all authority and paul knew that and never believed nor wrote that satan was the god of this world at no time in the entire new testament did jesus james luke the writer of hebrews jude matthew mark peter john paul or any other writer ever refer to satan as a god who really closes the minds blinds the eyes and shut s the hearts of people therefore we can believe that god was the god of that age it was not a statement of disgust from paul he was saying something he had said many times before every judgment brought upon the jews in their 1500 year history was imposed by yahweh not satan there is no other valid interpretation of this verse i have been saving this last treat just to exemplify how easily translators make mistakes here is the verse from the aramaic peshitta bible 2 nd corinthians 4 4 to those in this world whose minds have been blinded by god because they did not believe lest the light of the glorious gospel of christ who is the likeness of god should shine on them the peshitta bible and the exegesis ready study bible are two versions i found that correctly interpreted the word you can rest assured i am not bringing some new teaching and that some translators did get it right 1 my
