I actually never said ANYTHING you claimed I said in your first paragraph. You are a liar. You characterized what I said to fit what you wanted to say. 
BTW, "Hebrew" is generally capitalized, ignoramus. So is "Greek". Your comment about Greek language is INCOHERENT and meaningless. 
Everyone here just happened to notice YOU replied to and refuted NOT ONE thing that was discussed in the quote you referenced, in which Satan was being discussed.

A sincere question, by the way; not trying to argue or anything like that.

me no but I have a whole bunch of on line material that help me translate

mat 1
up top is the passage in koine' greek

the left is the break down word for word in english on the right is the koine work the phonetically spelled word then a tab where you can hear it pronounced. then you can click on the word and it gives you full defination then scroll down it will tell you which definition was used in what passage

I have solid books in the koine, latin and hebrew not aramaic as it is really pointless. As aramaic was a spoken language which was treated like jive or ebonics now it was a slang people used but did not record in as it was looked down upon/lessor class people speak.

I use on line tools when I can as I can leave links as proof.

Jesus spoke Aramaic; are you saying that he spoke "jive"?

Good lord do you people ever get tired of being wrong soo much???

Even if not, you got to be sick of being shown up by someone you try and make out to be a fool...

because surly you understand if I am a fool and I am the one constantly taking you to school then what that make you is worse than a fool.

This should also make you wonder if I am always right about little things like this am I not also right about things like God?

If it were me I would hate to be shown up by me there (in the god argument)

you got caught and now are trying to back out...

If you did not imply any of what I said then why and bring up all those languages? its because you thought those where the languages of the bible!
and you thought you could out 'rank me academically if you knew more of the bible languages than i did!!! what a moron NONE of the languages you mention have any serious part in the bible manuscripts/codices


busted sport!!

God you must feel stupid

So imagine yourself a pharisee and me some jesus fellow who just relentlessly keeps showing everyone how stupid you are which would be like your worst fear because if people knew what a fool you were your whole life then becomes meaningless...

That would be enough to kill someone wuldn't it? what if it is not just you but your whole group of well 'educated' brethern???

Jesus was unrelenting and sometime outright mean to those douche bags who opposed God truth being told. To the point that they killed him for it...

kinda puts a nail in hippy jesus' coffin doesn't it?

the jive or slang of his day.

The educated spoke and wrote greek it was like the universal base as the greek a few hundred years back conquered the whole world so their influence was their language and writing. Romans spoke latain but the empire was divided by region. there was a push to translate everything to latin and have everyone speak it, but at this time they were mid change, and the near and far east spoke aramaic (primitive language) but still also spoke and recorded in koine' greek. as all other written languages were frowned upon. even the hebrew bible had to be in koine greek. so we do not have any old old hebrew bibles left.

That would fucking leave you out in the cold, dripshit.

So, around 300 BC a translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek was undertaken, and it was completed around 200 BC. Gradually this Greek translation of the Old Testament, called the Septuagint, was widely accepted and was even used in many synagogues. It also became a wonderful missionary tool for the early Christians, for now the Greeks could read God’s Word in their own tongue"

Calm down gramps. I said nothing about languages in response to you. 
You are a Fundy ignoramus, and nothing you write merits any sort of response ... and you STILL have not responded to EVEN ONE thing posted that refutes your garbage about Satan/Lucifer.

Here are some stats from Wikipedia:

Quote:In 2012, the US peaked at a total of 4,726 Title IV-eligible, degree-granting institutions: 3,026 4-year institutions and 1,700 2-year institutions.[1] By 2014–15, the total had declined to 4,627 institutions.[28]

Drich is not a Christian. 
There is no Christian community that would approve of his behavior here. 

1 Corinthians 13
1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. 6 It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! 9 Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! 10 But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.
11 When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.


Drich loves being and acting like an angry old troll and justifies it by saying his angry Jesus did the same thing. 
There was no Jesus, no hippy Jesus or any other Jesus.

Ah, no.. The NT was written in the Koine' Greek not greek there is a huge difference between the two like portuguese and spanish two very different languages same origin. to compare greek and koine greek is to not even taken a days worth of instruction in neither language.

The dead sea scrolls only have a hand full of books only one I believe is complete. either way what was written in hebrew only serve to verify the septuagint

Satan again was established in the book of Job which to the jews was known as a holy book of wisdom and or godly knowledge. Not something seen as law but insight into God's word and mind. Not something to be discarded or taken lightly.

Aside from those fatal errors I see you mirrored what I had already established in my last post. nice of you to finally catch up.
