Interpreting Mark 15:34--'eloi 'eloi lama sabachthani
#32
RE: Interpreting Mark 15:34--'eloi 'eloi lama sabachthani
Then you need to understand that people around here react negatively to bible studies because we have too many nutjobs show up insisting that this shit is not only REAL but LITERAL and trying to shove it up our asses as the 'word of god.'

It gets tiresome.


My complaint is that parsing words - which were written in ancient languages and then translated and re-translated into modern languages is pretty much a pointless exercise since we lack the original documents and have no way of knowing what the originals said.

Anyway, what you quoted turns up in Psalm 22:

Quote:Psalm 22

1My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?

Kind of backs up Earl Doherty's point that this shit is little more than a rehash of the OT.
