no its not. like i said the JESUS character called a woman a dog

Can you please leave what the "character" Jesus said and face reality. Since you have problem accepting His existence..

abbeyfel:
Babylon became a conceptual city that represent lust and vanity after the first Babylon fell gentleman. The ruins of ancient Babylon is somewhere in Iraq. Research that...

you have to understand that the iraq region in ancient times fit the model of the conceptual babylon. however it wasnt called babylon. babylon is a concept name

reality is that i can call anyone any name i feel they deserve to be called so long as i am being truthful in definition

HajimeSaito:


King James uses the word "evil" to translate the Hebrew word "ra'ah ". More modern translations like the New King James Version and the New International Version use words like "disaster" and "calamity".
But as I've said, the key to translation lies in the context and in both Isaiah 45 : 7 and Amos 3:6 the word is used when referring to punishment of Israel for breaking God's law.

ok first of all what is the etymological meaning of the word ra ah ? answer me that. do you speak hebrew ? because i do

sukkot:
listen, the bible is a book for all generations so everything in it is conceptual including the people and the places. they are concepts which are supposed to apply to all generations.

All generations my foot...

WHY RA'AH IS TRANSLATED DIFFERENTLY


In part, this seems like a question of the translator's intent, goal or approach. That's not really something we can answer, short of sitting down with the translator and asking them. Some translations do use the same word in both places. In this case, you could substitute either word into the other sentence without really changing the meaning. While I don't have proof, I suspect that the translator used "affliction" in 3:6 in order to avoid the appearance of ascribing evil to God's actions, since that's the word they used in 9:4.

The original word can mean both bad (malicious, wicked) and bad (unpleasant, harmful). Nuances like this are a frequent cause of the same source word being rendered differently in different passages. The NET Bible lists the number of times they translated it with different words. In their case, they translate ra` <07451> as "evil" 236 times and "disaster" 78 times. ("Disaster" is the word they use in both of these verses.) Other common words they use are harm, bad, wicked, trouble, calamity, wickedness and wrong.

Another aspect of this question gets into dynamic vs. formal equivalence in the translation process. Because dynamic equivalence attempts to translate the thought of a passage (concept-for-concept) at the expense of literal (word-for-word) translation, there will frequently be a wider variance in how specific words are handled.

take this last post on the road with you. remember how you said there is no such thing as righteous evil ?

revelations 19 vs 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. <<< IN RIGHTEOUSNESS DOES HE JUDGE AND MAKE WAR. SO ALL THE EVIL IS DONE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS . CASE CLOSED

OK whatever you are trying to present is incoherent at best. however i can do you one better. here in the bible is what RIGHTEOUS EVIL is

revelation 19 vs 11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. <<< ALL THE EVIL AND WAR AND KICKING PEOPLES BUTT AND DESTROYING PEOPLE IS DONE IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AS JUDGEMENT ON PEOPLE. CASE CLOSED. THE BIBLE JUST TOLD YOU ABOUT RIGHTEOUS EVIL

Aonkuuse:
say no to jungle justice. even Jesus Christ kick against jungle justice, when they were about killing an adulterous woman with stones

Apparently you don't know what jungle justice means.

Thank God she didn't live a vacant live. She has a child. Slay queens keep slaying. Rip

Nah, you knoweth me not dear

Caseless:
our police funny die. *clear eyes* is this your new handle?

abbeyfel:
I told you Jesus was a myth created by the roman Catholic church. The real personality behind the myth was mystified so the truth He thought will be kept secret. The Bible is very vague about this great man. And you keep saying "titles", aren't titles used on people? Are this titles not used to describe or identify some certain classes of people. Because you said they are all titles. Who are these titles referring to or pointing at

WAIT!!! You got all these knowledge from SECRET HISTORY OF THE WORLD by Jonathan Black??

Nice DP

They should send the 28yr old man to nigerian police and after enough beating he will confess to the crime.

Men

Of course you justified it.

Wicked soul

emi14:
This is how south Africans treat infidelity and deception in relationship. A Nigerian woman can keep 4guys . Allowing a man you don't love spend over #200,000 on you only to be dumped and call names because that is Nigerian ladies professional styles of leaving a relationship. You break his heart and walk freely. It doesn't happen in south Africa....you die.
