The story of Zaccharias
NOTE: I screwed up the name, Zacchaeus is the real name. A story which always touches me is the story of the rich tax collector from Jericho, read in Luke 19:1-10:
Quote:
Laugh the rest of you, as I may have stumbled upon a meaningless point. What caught my eye in reading the Greek is the last word of verse ten. The entire pericope is: Quote:
It's apolwlos, which the English translates as "lost." Strong's points out the fuller meaning of the Greek word, at least fuller for me. Quote:
So Christ comes not to just save the lost, but those who have died, perished and been destroyed. It makes it a bit richer for me. Thanks for indulging me. This really should be Chapel Hill, Solon and AA doing this so I apologize for my clumsiness and bad translations skills. But if any find it useful, besides me, I hope it means something.

That's a useful point that I will share someday, without attribution.

Question: who is Chapel Hill? I have not been here for more than about 6 or 8 months, so I don't know everyone.
I just know that whenever someone posts something, everyone asks him to give his opinion. Yet, if I am not mistaken, he has not posted a single thing since at least October? Does he even still come here? Anyone? Chapel Hill, feel free to jump in on this one.
