Blog or Article?

Blogs often focus on personal opinion, experiences, views, anecdotes or advice. Blogs tend to have a relaxed and conversational feel, such as in storytelling and are generally 300-500 words.

Articles aim to deliver well-researched, informative content with solid evidence to back up the points made.  Articles are usually more formal, organized and frequently range 500-1000 words.

biblical use of negatives

Posted by Michael Prahm on April 21, 2011 at 3:11am

I am working on a paper, and I would appreciate any help in the field of the  "USE OF NEGATIVES"

 

Where it says "God killed" or the "LORD afflicted"

 

any documentation, or reference materials  would be great.

 

One of the great resource centers in all the world, My Corps brothers and  sisters.  I thank you for your consideratin in this matter and And God bless you richly in the wonderful name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

    Hi,

    I just came accross your blog. Was part of your question more specific just to how negatives are used? The two Greek words are ou and me (pronounced as "may"). They both mean no or not, but ou is a stronger negation. Stronger yet is when the two words are used together, ou me. Another word, oude, is a combination of ou and the conjunction, de (either "and" or "but). It is most frequently translated as "neither." Hebrews 13:5 has all three words.

    5 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never [ou me] leave thee, nor [oude ou me] forsake thee.

    Hi Michael;

     

    Just did a quick word search (Gotta LOVE computer Bible programs).  There are only two verses where the words God and killed are used in the same verse and the both reference that they "killed" the Lord Jesus Christ and either "whom God raised from the dead" followed (Acts 3:15) or they killed Jesus Christ and did NOT "please God" (1 Thess. 3:15).

     

    I do know any phrase that refers to God and a negative event should always be understood as God ALLOWED the negative to happen (affliction etc.).  The figure of speech is called an "Hebrew Idiom of Permission".  Idioms are covered in Bullinger's Figures of Speech Used in the Bible work, beginning on page 819 in my copy.

     

    Believing this is helpful,
