God's day to you, Porta,
The subject of tongues divides believers.
Adding to what out brother Tim wrote ...
Look at "So then tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophecy is for a sign, not to unbelievers but to those who believe" (1Co 14:22).
You are right God did use tongues to divide at the Tower of Babel (with at least one man and one women speaking the same "new" tongue) ... and to unite on Penetecost. People heard their own language, not Aramaic, Hebrew or even Greek.
I am not sure that there is an "unknown" (to any man) tongue ... and even if there s, what is spoken needs to follow proper grammer.

My dear brother thanks for your response it's always good to use scipture.this is my understanding, there are ony times when god used tongues at the tower of babel,and on the day of pentecost but many say unknown tongues I am wrong first of all tongues is speaking in a different language first God used it to separate the people(bable) and the second to spread God's word there were so many people that had to hear the word.
Thanks,
Your sister in Christ

Dear Searcher,
Just an aside: I uncomfortable with the phrase "pure blood Jew." In the time of Christ one could go to the Temple and trace one's lineage to Abraham, or to that of Jewish convert of record. After the destruction of the Temple, one is considered a Jew whose mother was a Jew -- obviating the need to examine the validity of one's paternal origins.
Assuming we are talking about an identifiable group called Christians, the narrative regarding Cornelius precedes the use of the term (Acts 11:26).
If we are speaking salvifically, then, of course, we should have to go back much, much farther! (1 Peter 1:20-21)
By the way, doesn't the Centurion of Matthew 8 and Luke 7 deserve some consideration? After all, he was the only one whose faith caused our Savior to marvel (Matthew 8:10 and Luke 7:9), as it exceeded the faith found in any of the descendants of Jacob.
In Him, Doc |

Hi, Pew...
I apologize for accusing you of misdirection. Thank you for correcting my error.
Nonetheless, I think I will happily stick with the NASB. (Thank you, Lockman!) This single example of Acts 6:2 (where the HCSB renders "to serve tables" with "handling financial matters") is demonstrates how dynamic equivalence can go astray. Their rendering violates the context of the passage; i.e., the fair ministration to widows.
Therefore, I shift the blame of misdirection to the translators of HCSB (http://www.hcsb.org/pages/hcsbpages/About.aspx). Even the NIV and NLT (paraphrase) does a better job on this verse!
In Him, Doc |

Greetings Pew Potato!
I agree that we must be careful not to read details into the text. However, the key word here is the 'cloth'.
If the cloth refers to a towel, then the verb used obviously means that it was folded and set aside neatly.
If the cloth refers to bands of material, then the verb used would mean that it was wrapped, which could describe either an action prior to the resurrection or after.
Either way, the meaning of the text is not changed in any way. Jesus was alive! Praise the Lord!
Your Brother in Christ,

Greetings JPatt!
Thanks for the response!
There have been attempts over the years to make the saying less difficult.
One explanation was that maybe the word should have been 'rope' instead of 'camel'. However, in Greek, they are two different words. Some later manuscripts use the word for 'rope', rather than camel, but there is no textual support for such a reading.
Another explanation is that in Aramaic, the words for 'rope' and 'camel' are the same. However, the problem here is that the text is written in Greek, not Aramaic, so it really makes no difference.
A third view was that 'eye of the needle' referred to a really small gate through which a camel had to crawl. There was a needle gate, but it wasn't built until the middle ages, so it can't be what Jesus was referencing.
Either way, the text makes it clear that the difficulty is supposed to be there. That is why the disciples asked Jesus, 'Then, How can anyone be saved?' in v. 26.
They apparently understood Jesus' saying as being difficult even then. :-)
The link you provided is pretty good. They argue there that His statement was meant to be hyperbole and difficult.
Your Brother in Christ,
Tim Moran

In answer to your question about what this verse means It seems to be saying that a rich man cannot enter into the Kingdom of God, however, by rightly dividing the Word, according to John 3:16 'WHOEVER believes', and also 'God is not a respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34) would prove that it is possible for a rich man to go to heaven unless he is trusting in his riches to get him there.
According to Jewish custom at the time wealth and riches were associated with the 'Blessings' of God, so the statement is declaring this is not the way to enter the Kingdom of God. |

Mark 10:25__According to the Hebrew New Testament Studies the word 'camel' can mean a literal camel or it can also mean 'rope'; depending on the context. Therefore when Jesus made this statement he could have been saying it is easier for rope to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Also, eye and needle can both refer to a literal gate. The reference site is http://www.biblicalhebrew.com/nt/camelneedle.htm |

BradK; Your final response was kind. I believe I have read it all now. Perhaps reminding her that God says in Scripture, we are allowed the killing of animals for food, and is within His will. There are even some placed in Asia that eat all kinds of creatures, some just down right nasty.

Baker New Testament Commentary says:
It is necessary to stress at this point that not more must be read into the text than is actually there. Ideas such as these, namely, that the headband was lying there as if it had not been removed from the head, and that the bandages were lying there just as if the limbs of Jesus were still enclosed by them, or as if the body had been abstracted from them, are foreign to the text. We do not even know exactly where the linen bandages and the sweat-band were lying. Neither John nor Luke (in his Gospel, 24:12) says anything about such matters. What Luke emphasizes is that the bandages were lying there by themselves, which, again, does not mean that they were being held in position mysteriously and in violation of the laws of gravity; but simply indicates that they were lying there without the body.
The facts which are actually related are wonderful enough without exegetical (?) embellishments. What they indicate is this: everything was orderly in the tomb. The body of the Lord was no longer there. No disciple had been there to remove it, nor had any enemy visited the tomb in order to pillage it. In either case the bandages would no longer have been present. Could it be that the Lord had himself removed the bandages and the sweat-band, had provided for himself a garment such as is worn by the living, had calmly and majestically "put everything in its place" in the tomb, putting the bandages here and the sweat-band there (neatly folded or rolled up in a place by itself), and had then departed from the tomb, gloriously alive? |

Greetings CDBJ!
I'll have to do some more reading on your info, but the Greek word for 'cloth' is 'soudarian'. It refers to a small towel used to wipe sweat from one's face. In this case, they were sometimes used to cover the face during burial.
The word doesn't seem to match the description give by your source, as it is a towel, not strips of cloth.
The same word is used in Luke 19:20, John 11:44, and Acts 19:12.
I'll do some more checking though.
Your Brother in Christ,

In either case, His appearance was different than what was seen in the pre-ascension appearances. |

Dear Pew,
"...the kind of body that Saul saw on the road to Damascus..."
Did Paul really see Jesus' body? (Acts 9:3-8, 22:6-7) or was he blinded by the glorious shining light from the resurrected Jesus?

Wow, thank you very much for the information. It is very helpful.

P.S. I was wondering it might be that the concept of facial mask in the beauty business was generated from it :-) |

Hi Tim,
Good point but a bad translation of the truth that was easily missed by the translators when written in the English. If one would consider the word wrapped, ENTULISSO, in the Koine it will get one started in the right direction.
John 20:7
And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
I did an extensive study on this verse years ago and the fact of the matter is; the Jews learned the technique of the burial from the Egyptians in part.
Here is what I found:
The napkin that was used only around the head was of a much thicker material then that used to wrap the rest of the body and as a result it held more of the spices that were used to cover the victim.
John 19:39
And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
The napkin material was of a narrower material then those used for the rest of the body but there was more of it used, causing the layers to be thicker after the head was fully wrapped. They would crisscross back and forth around the face and under the chin and around the neck and over the top of the head, with many layers, until everything was covered then the spices were applied. This would form a mass that was self supporting much the same way if you would take a balloon and covering it with paper-mache. This inner twinning of the material formed a round shape that included the neck on the side and none of this was directly connected to the body wrap.
The body was placed on a narrow stone slab of those that were wealthy where the decomposition process accrued quite slowly.
What was seen, upon careful examination, was the fact that the head cover was still intact, as a ball, but the head was removed without disturbing the original shape of the napkin. It was lying by itself still crisscross wrapped, but because it was not connected or held to the body wrap it had rolled off of the slab and was laying by itself still in a ball shape.
That would be the same as wrapping a balloon with paper-mache then popping the balloon with a pin after the paper-mache had dried.
It would be an utter impossibility for Jesus to remove His Head without destroying the wrapped shape and due to this fact John now believed the first resurrection in history had taken place.
John 20:8
Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
It wasn’t that John finally believed in Jesus, it was that he believed in the resurrection due to the fact that the head of Christ went through the napkin without unwrapping it.

Hello mamametal,
I'm understanding your dilemma better. However- and I don't mean this in a meanspirited way- there is a point where we need to excercise common sense! Remember, the purpose of the Bible is not to address any and all situations we come across in everyday life! For instance, God doesn't tell us what type of car to drive or where to live, etc. It's also not a manual about pest-control! And... it's not supposed to be!
Fortunately, God gave us a mind and the ability to think and reason! Ask yourself, 'what would a normally-prudent person do in such a situation'? Personally, I'd call my local pest control company and let them deal with it:-)
I hope this makes sense and helps.
