The most beautiful verse in all of scripture

<< < (2/4) > >>

octoberose:
It's funny because I was just reading one of Ray's papers and he specifically talks about Luke 23:34.  Does that mean he did not agree it was spurious- since he did not take down his original article? I think that list appeared before Ray's passing, if memory serves.
 And I agree, Alex, it's beautiful. And I hope it is suppose to be there- but how is one to know?

Kat:

Ray had referred to a number of spurious Scripture in previous articles, before he found Tischendorf's list, and I do not remember him making changes because of it, he just left it as it was. At the conference "How We Got The Bible' he spoke about finding the list and did speak a bit about some of the verses that were on the list.

Luke 23:34  Then said Jesus, Father forgive them; for they know not what they do
 
This one really threw me. It’s not in the Sinaiticus or the Vaticanus, so is it Scripture or isn’t it? I don’t know. It’s not in the two oldest ones, so maybe it’s not.

It is clear where in the verse in Luke came from though, it was in a prophecy from Isaiah.

Isa 53:10  Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
v. 11  He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.
v. 12  Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

mercy, peace and love

John 8:1-11. Story about the woman caught in adultry.
That is another "beautiful" spurious verse.

Jeff:
Alex,

I wrote you a very emotional, heartfelt, letter in response to your post  - in support of you.

It took an hour to write and find relevant Scripture and then in a flash it was gone, maybe the wrong keystroke, maybe God, maybe the adversary, I don't know.

What I do know is that not every thought we have, not everything we feel, is recorded in Scripture.  We were given a mind to think, and a heart to feel, and what you wrote - in the face of spuriousness - you shared something that God gave you in that moment, and for that I thank Him for providing, and you for sharing.  What you wrote meant a lot to me right now and maybe many others. You worshipped and loved and were blessed by our Creator.

Bless you, Brother, in Christ,

Jeff

Joel:
I agree with you Alex, the LOVE of GOD is absolutely beautiful.
He was there when they stoned Stephen, and the very last words he spoke were very similar.

ACTS 7:60-And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.
And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

I don't see Acts 7:60 on the spurious list.

Joel
