What do you think the passage in Isaiah means: "...and the house was filled with smoke?"

And smoke lots of marijuana...

And Ja's-Us said, "Take this and smoke it, for this is my stash. And lo, Kick down to others as I have kicked down to you..."but just then he noticed that one of his disciples was hording the bong, and passeth it not, but toked upon it a time, times, and half a time.
And he said unto him, "Whoa unto you Bogardus, for assuredly thy name shall be spoken of with contempt and loathing among the faithful and in parents basements from this moment unto the end times, for have I not tryed to teach you the true high comes in the passing?".
Then did the twelve rise up in furious annoyance, to smitteth the hind quarters of Bogardus, so that he was afllicted with a great paranoia and did flee from among them, and went to dwell forevermore in the land of the Shwagnostics, where there was no kindbud to be had, but only shake.

Hehe. Could be. But it seems more likely a reference to a symbolic fire of some sort in the Temple, as indicated by the taking of a "coal" two verses later.

What the heck was in that brazier, anyway???

Why do you think that all the cereal and meat offerings that were brought were reserved for the priests?

Ok I am sure you have had a thread like this in the past, but I cant find one recently so I thought I would give it a go... Its quite simply...

Do you think the bible is word perfect?

I have noticed some people take the all or nothing approach. If the bible is perfect they believe it - if the bible has some *mistakes*, they say the whole thing is wrong.

What do you think? :)

I say it is perfect! True, it has some mistranslations due to man, but when you come down to it, every single word and number in the bible is exactly the way God had intended for it to be.:bb:

We know that the OT was perfect and they had over 400 years to work on any mistranslations if there were. So why would we think the NT side of the church is not perfect? They do commentary on each other also in a perfect way.:yes:

It's perfect except for the mistranslations? :biglaugh: Every word is what God intended for it to be, and where there are mistranslations, that's what God intended. :rolleyes:

Fortunately, Katz, I said it better than you said it. and any one that has the capacity to search for truth can overcome man made [fly's in the ointment] mistranslations, and see the accuracy of he bible. Unfortunately, not everyone that calls themselves Christians has the mind of Christ.

Mistranslations are the translations of scripture that the translator did not know what to do with, for instance: (Mt 28:1) In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
The word day is a mistranslation and therefore it is in brackets!
This is the way that verse is truly written in the original language.
(Mt 28:1) In the end of the sabbath(s)[/COLOR], as it began to dawn toward the first of the sabbath(s), came Mary.....

And how is it to be read, At the end of the O T sabbaths and the first of the NT sabbatahs

That is the problem the SDA HAVE WITH IT, they refuse to accept the original language, thereby worshiping on Saturday. See, LDS are not the only false doctrine out there. They are your family in the one world order.

That is certainly a novel way of looking at it, Kathryn. I am willing to go with "inspired by what people thought of as god" but absolutely NOT the Word of God.
