Stranger Danger

Notes of Pastor Matthew Dyer

Scrripture Reading Genesis 15:13

This is going to be more of a Bible word study than a sermon this morning, but I think the subject matter is very important, because if one reads the Old Testament and doesn’t understand this word we are going to talk about this morning, one can get rather confused, and also see what seem to be contradictions in the scriptures.

The word we are going to look at this morning is going to be the word Stranger, or what has been translated as Stranger in English from the Hebrew in the Old Testament. I think maybe a good title for this message would be Stranger Danger, like the Neighborhood Watch program’s slogan. Because if one does not understand what the Hebrew word is being used when Stranger is translated in to English in the Old Testament, this person is in for some dangerous theological errors.

Scripture Reading John 6:55 My flesh is meat indeed and my blood is drink indeed.”

How many believe the above quotation is from The Scriptures?  The quotation is from The Scriptures.  It is incomplete.

The first word “for” got left off.  “For” translates the Koine Greek word gar G1063 from the New Testament, a primary particle, assigning a reason. 

How could someone’s flesh being food, and blood being drink, be an assignable reason for anything?!Cannibal is a compound word composed of Cain and Baal.  Does that tell us something? Baal worship?
