Disputing And Reasoning - Interchangeable Terms?

[onyx]

Hi Folks,

We had a lesson in Gospel doctrine class last Sunday.

"Live in the Spirit" lesson 32 New Testament.

This manual can be found on the lds.org website under lesson manuals.

We were discussing Acts 17:2; Acts 17:17; Acts 18:4; Acts 19:8; and Acts 18:19.

King James Version of the New Testament.

The lesson taught that "disputing" means "preaching" or "reasoning."

I'm wondering if there is anyone on this forum who might have some understanding of the original languages that the Bible was written in?

If so, do you know if disputing and reasoning come from the same root word and therefore can be considered to be interchangeable terms?

Thank you for your help I :)

One use of "dispute" in Acts 19 comes from the Greek dialegomai. Check it out.

A Strongs Concordance is an excellent resource for such subjects, or use this link: http://www.eliyah.com/lexicon.html

Great site for word studies like the one your asking about...:)

I have also gone through the footnotes in the Bible and marked all the Greek footnotes with a green dot, so that as I am reading the New Testament, my eye is immedietly drawn down to the footnote because I know there is an alternate word from the Greek to aid in understanding...not sure if that helps in this case, but it is good practice...also marking the HEB, OR, JST footnotes with there own colored pencil dot color helps a lot! Kinda weeds out all those TG footnotes references that make up the bulk of the footnotes...Does not take an aweful long time to do and is worth the effort...Did it 15 years ago and I am still learning things I had not seen before...

Hi CrimsonKairos

Sorry for the delay in responding to you.

We had a few family dramas.

The link you provided was very helpful indeed.

What an excellent website.

I have bookmarked it.

It will come in very handy in future.

Thanks for taking the time

Hi Isaac,

I really loved the site you recommended!

Very, very helpful indeed.

I have it bookmarked.

Your scripture marking system seems to be very effective.

I had a really comprehensive marking system in my mini quad.

It look me ages to do too.

But, I found, as you did, it was tremendously helpful.

I have been using that set of scriptires for 20 years.

But, alas, my eyesight is not what it used to be.

So I bought a larger set of scriptures recently.

I am about to start remarking them.

So, if you don't mind I'd like to adapt your idea into my system?

Thankyou for your help and great ideas

Don't mind at all...that's why I shared it...:) One (among many) little tidbits I learned from marking the footnotes is in the Old Testament...Remember when Moses was attempting to free the Israelites from Egyptian bondage? Each time Moses would curse the Egyptians in order to soften pharoah up a bit, a funny thing happens according to the King James Bible..."...and the Lord hardened pharoahs heart". Seems a bit counter productive to have Moses perform such mighty curses on the land and the Egyptian people, only to turn around and harden the heart of the person he was trying to soften...but if you mark your footnotes, you will see that there is a JST (Joseph Smith Translation) correction here...The JST footnote says that after Moses begins his latest plague "...and PHAROAH hardened his heart." This seems much more consistent...:) My other favorite is the account of Jesus fasting in the wilderness and Satan coming to tempt him...I'll let you look that one up, but JST makes some significant and very consistant corrections to that story as well...:)

Have fun marking! Does not take as long as you might think and your giong to learn a lot, as I mentioned...:)

I don't know if this is relevant to what you are saying/asking but consider the word 'argument'

I has come to mean an angry exchange of opinions, often with one party not listening to the other but continually insisting that they are right and the other is wrong:

You did it

No I didn't

Yes you did

No I didn't

Liar!

In truth an argument should be a reasoned exchange of different points of view with each listening to the other and in the end possibly one persuading the other to see things they had not previously considered which may affect their viewpoint.
