Plain Talker Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Christianity dates from around AD 29. really? the term dates from a bit later, more the 2nd half of the first century. The first followers and converts to the teachings of Jesus Christ were originally called "Followers of the way". Christian was never a term assigned by Jesus PBUH.

Plain Talker Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Christianity dates from around AD 29. incidentally, is the "Ad 29" date-thing based on the Venerable Bede's erroneous calculation, which left out the year zero, and was out by a good six or seven years?

Grahame Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 erm, actually, that's not quite true. the "Fear of the LORD", as *I* understand it, is an awe and reverence for God, in understanding who He is, as creator and sustainer. Not a trembling and terror:- You do not elicit trembling and terror from the person you love, and who loves you. Awe and reverence is correct but I'm not sure if that translates to fear? For the past few days we have been talking about false gods as well and people seem to have been in fear and trembling of these false gods, for example in order to appease their gods they offered human sacrifice and if they did that I suggest they must have been in real fear of these graven images? Abraham came from a culture where people offered human sacrifice and the lesson to him was that this is not what GOD wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grahame Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 So now he's greek, he certainly gets about - did he fly Arab Emirates or Easyjet? The New Testament is in Greek and this is what Ghozer was saying about difficulties in translation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
