The Most Mistranslated Words

taken from comments on last year’s messages:

I suppose the most MISTRANSLATED and misused words in this world and scripture is this:..’the word was made flesh’….these words are destroying almost everyone, due to the made up meaning…not once proven with scripture…..I had a discussion a while back with a person on Jesus not being the word of God….this person repeated those same words over and over and over, not allowing me to say a thing…as though those words proved the lie they believe. Do some work; research…prove the real meaning with Scripture, or the Word.

see, they have heard the lie and false meaning of that phrase until they think they prove the lie just quoting those words….but that is isolating the words from the rest of Scripture, which is always wrong. they would rather believe a lie and be damned than to listen to the truth, study and learn.

last night as I was reading one of my messages, I found a ‘new one’ I did not even know: VALLEY….yes, in some scriptures it refers to water baptism as in Romans 6.

so when THEY fled to the VALLEY, it actually means those OT law folks, running to NT salvation, via water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ…yes. that is the VALLEY they ran to. I was totally shocked when I saw this. never once even thought such a thing…..how I love being taught by God and not some money-hungry man.

just now, thinking of this ‘before-unknown’ meaning, scripturally, for ‘valley’…this came to me;… yea, though I walk through the VALLEY of the SHADOW of death……ROMANS 6… why fear evil…it is for salvation… no evil will come now….I have gone through that valley of the shadow of death…into that watery grave,,,risen up in the likeness of HIS RESURRECTION…so thankful for the glorious BREAD that God feeds me, daily.

(this is some very good information; so glad I found this again)

Larry Bray ~~~Sis. I do not know if you remember it or not. I did a message on the gates of Nehemiah and one of the gates was the gate of the valley. I said at that time I did not have any idea what that gate was. That the only place I could see was in Psalms 23. So I asked you and you said you had no idea. So now we know. Yes, I also love being taught by God. I am fixing to post a short message that God revealed to me today as I was driving down the road. I will post it a few minutes

Me: you are right, Larry. I do remember you did a message on that subject.. I hope we can find it for I wish to read it again. I fully cannot keep things in mind, even when I wrote it. wish I could contain it all. but yes, we did wonder about that valley gate….Oh that would go so good with this message.
