I apologize if this thread has already been discussed or if I put it in the wrong category (General) but I thank all of you in advance for your answers. are there any other versions of an eastern Bible that I can download/purchase (if not on Logos then elsewhere)? is the Lamsa Bible an accurate version to include in my libraryĤ. what was the language of the original words Christ spokeģ. what is the true interpretation of the textĢ. So, having said all of that, I have two questions that I thought some of you had already pondered and could supply some good answers:ġ. Also, since there are so few versions of an eastern interpretation of the Bible, Lamsa's version is taken as 100% accurate because he spoke Aramaic.

The cry shows that he still clung to the Father as his own.I've been wracking my brain attempting to do some research on the controversial topic of the meaning of Christ's word in Matthew 27:45-46 (eli eli lama sabachthani). As he hung on the cross, 'made sin for us' (2Co 5:21), he was left to struggle without a sense of his Father's presence. Why hast thou forsaken me? These words can only express the idea that he was treading the wine-press alone. Three o'clock, after the Lord had been six hours on the cross.

My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? - Our Lord hereby at once expresses his trust in God, and a most distressing sense of his letting loose the powers of darkness upon him, withdrawing the comfortable discoveries of his presence, and filling his soul with a terrible sense of the wrath due to the sins which he was bearing.
