		<description><![CDATA[Dear Bro,

I studied both languages for 5 years as a course rqd and i can confirmed the above is correct. 

For yr interest, you may have heard many claiming that &quot;Jesus wept&quot; as the shortest verse in the Bible, actually the shortest is &quot;It is finished&quot; in the greek. The pt is that languages have their unique tenses, grammar and construction, that is why if you simply transliterate one language using the general rule of english (for example) it seems correct but is inaccurate. 

Another example, Jesus says He gives &#039;Peace&quot; (gk - eirene), you cannot collapse languages and jump to Hebrew word &quot;Shalom&quot; (translated in eng as &#039;peace&#039; also). The reason, a word has its unique meaning within a context, and so it is not a simple case of transporting meanings from one text to another.  I challenge my students to study for themselves how John and Jesus used the word &#039;peace&#039; in the gospel of John and Epistles of John, then, correlate it with other usage in the NT. The eventual understanding of Jesus&#039; original intention becomes apparently clear. You might like to try it too? One humorous example I use to reinforce the pt of context is; interpret this statement &quot;I saw a trunk walking down the street.&quot; 

I know many believers (good intentions) want to &#039;hear&#039;  a &#039;deeper&#039; meaning to the passages of Scriptures, but that leaves a lot of room for erroneous teachings; some harmless, others absurd, while others still, open to heresy. One example; Jesus become satanic because He bored our sin in hell in order to save us. Scriptural support 2 Cor 5:21. But that verse doesn&#039;t teach Jesus bearing our &quot;SIN-NATURE&quot; but the penalties for sins. If Jesus became satanic, He would have changed &quot;Nature,&#039; and God cannot change &#039;Natures&#039; or He ceases to be Divine. And if He ceases to be Divine, He certainly would not be qualified to be our spotless lamb.

Finally, this &#039;new revelation&#039; of YHWH was taught by Pastor Jon Courson of Calvary Chapel in a 2002-3 lecture (i think! if i am not wrong) . It&#039;s hardly a new revelation, Jon has since corrected himself. Thanks. 

Sorry for being long-winded.]]></description>
