Thelaqachisnext:
I can and do read scripture for myself. But it is not what you read, it is HOW you read what you read.
I have a some words I would like you to define for me , if you would please:
"eisegesis"; "allegory"; "bias"; "gnostcism"; "dispensationalism"; "honesty"; and
"truth".
Biblically, etymologically, or both?
Let's begin with Truth:
Jesus is Truth:
Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
The Word is Truth:
Jhn 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
Jam 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
the Spirit is Truth:
Jhn 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
Jhn 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
Jhn 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
1Jo 5:6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
2Jo 1:2 For the truth's sake, which dwelleth in us, and shall be with us for ever.
From the e-word dictionary
The Origin of Speeches by Isaac Mozeson,
"True" etymology of "Truth" is, in the mother tongue of creation::
ETYM(OLOGY) EMeT Aleph-Mem-Tahf
em-ET_______________________[EMT à ETM]
ROOTS: ETYMON (from Greek) infers the literal sense of a word. The etymon of ETYMOLOGY is the Greek word etymos (
true). The true etymon never lies in a language as late as Greek. Merely flip root letters #2 and #3, an M132 metathesis, ETM to EMT, to see EMeT (
true, truth, truly). ".. .the word of the Lord in thy mouth is truth" EMeT -- I Kings 17:24.
To marry homily and scientific Edenics,
Aleph-Mem-Tahf (truth)
means undying or eternal, which truth is supposed to be. The Aleph is a negative prefix, “not,” as in “Asymetry”—
see “A-.“ Mem-Tahf means “mortality” – see “CHECKMATE.” EMeT (
truth) is thus
undying, immortal. Ayin-Mem-Dalet means standing, enduring, lasting – Exodus 9:28.
Objective Truth requires OMeTZ (courage) to overcome human subjectivity (The purveyors of the myth of the Indo-European root, The American Heritage Dictionary, found no root for MYTH. Tahf can be a Greek TH, and MYTH may be a built-in, sound-alike antonym of EMeTH (truth).
BRANCHES: To form "truth" one takes the Hebrew alpahabet’s first letter, Aleph, and the last letter, Tahf, placing the middle letter, Mem, between them. "TRUE" north refers to the earth's middle or axis, not her magnetic poles. The true path is always the middle road, between the extreme positions. Related to EMeT, EMTZ[A]h means middle. While this spelling is post-Biblical, Mem-Tsadi-Ayin (middle) – has its antiquity authenticated in Aramaic and Syriac. M + dental (D,T) words of measuremnt and science , Mem-Daled-Ayin, are found at “METER” and “MODE.”.
"True" in Japanese is honto; reverse to dina for the Fijian. It isn't false to switch the M to an N and the T to a D. A easier, mere reversal of EMeT is seen in Tagalog (Philippines) tama (true or correct. Maa-t is truth in the language of ancient Egypt. Genesis 11 holds all of these national and linguistic takes on truth as divine. Edenic truth is not about being “more true” than others, but it is the rainbow from which every hue can trace its divine origin and legitimacy.
