[Oe List ...] Searching for a paper

OK, so I’ve been playing with the Greek behind the translations in the English documents called the ‘New Testament.’

 

1.	What gets translated ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ is baseliea Ouranos.  The heavens – Ouranos – encompass all of the planet, etc. Baselieia has at its root word bas – which means footing or foundation (it’s where we get the English word ‘base.’)  While it’s used for the Roman Empire as well, it has a different connotation.  If one’s foundation is Rome, there are certain implications for context and behavior.  But if one’s foundation is the heavens, then there are different implications as far as being inclusive, comprehensive – well, you get the picture.
2.	The word that is translated as ‘sin’ is hamartia – the negative of martia (which is where we get ‘martial’) but martia actually refers to ‘mark’ as in target.  So the literal translation here is ‘missing the mark.’  Taking the hole instead of the doughnut.  Living in illusion?  Not getting it?  Screwing up?
3.	Repentance translates the word ‘metanoia’ – literally ‘new’ – meta – mind – nous/noia.  New mindedness.  Or ‘Ah! Now I get it!’ 
4.	Resurrection translates several words in Greek, one of which is ‘egeiro’ which literally translates as ‘awaken.’  Getting woke?  Another is histemi – Stand up. Wake up, get up!
5.	Save and heal often translate the same Greek word – sozo – which is also literally to make whole.
6.	Heal also translates the word ‘therapeuo’ – where we get ‘therapy,’ but means to serve.  Healing as serving – interesting.

 

FWIW -

I think we live in the "Other World" like fish live in water ... and... nothing can separate us from the love of God.

For whatever reason, I am being pushed to reconsider the other world.  I found a paper by Tillich (see attached) and I remember a paper, I believe by Niebuhr called "We live in 2 worlds" or something that we studied.  Anyone recall?? Have a copy??  I checked the Global Research Network website and also the online data base and was unable to find it.  Of course, now that I am 78, I have to wonder . .. did it actually exist?

 

Thanks for any help.  And, how are you all doing??

 

Over the past 6 weeks, I have been much reminded of one of the Old Testament readings from the daily office in RS-1 Amos 5:18-24.  We fled from the heat in Arizona (114 avg in July) to Colorado and a tornado met us.  We returned to Arizona and Hurricane Hillary just missed us.  We went to a niece's wedding in Oregon and the venue was changed due to a wildfire evacuation order.  Now we are back in Arizona, but a brother- and sister-in-law are stuck at an airport in Charlotte because of Hurricane Idalia . . .

The unknown is what is.  And to be frightened of it is what sends everybody scurrying around chasing dreams, illusions, wars, peace, love, hate, all that.  Unknown is what is.  Accept that it's unknown, and it's plain sailing.    John Lennon
