In the Cool of the Day?
I read an interesting article summarizing J.J. Niehaus’ translation of Genesis 3:8. Niehaus offers a rather different translation of this verse and the theophany it reveals to the reader. Genesis 3:8 in the ESV reads,
And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
The key phrase that is retranslated by Niehaus retranslates in his 1995 work entitled God at Sinai is “the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day.” I find the new translation interesting and I want to ponder it in this post after briefly summarizing his arguments that are found on pages 155-159 in the book.

Intelligent Design
Here is an interesting article on Intelligent Design. It is fairly short and not extremely in depth. So please don’ think this is some kind of refutation of Evolution but like Ben Stein, a plea for ID to be allowed in the discussion as to the question of the origin(s) of life. Enjoy.

I AM HE
You are my witnesses,” says the Lord, “my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may consider and believe in me, and understand that I am he [ἐγώ εἰμι]. No god was formed before me, and none will outlive me. 11 I, I am the Lord, and there is no deliverer besides me. 12 I decreed and delivered and proclaimed, and there was no other god among you. You are my witnesses,” says the Lord, “that I am God. 13 From this day forward I am he [ἐγώ εἰμι]; no one can deliver from my power; I will act, and who can prevent it?” (NET, emphasis mine)
3 So Judas obtained a squad of soldiers6 and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees. They came to the orchard with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4 Then Jesus, because he knew everything that was going to happen to him, came and asked them, “Who are you looking for?” 5 They replied, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He told them, “I am he [ἐγώ εἰμι]”…6 So when Jesus said to them, “I am he [ἐγώ εἰμι],” they retreated and fell to the ground. (NET, emphasis mine)

Today I read a very interesting article on the meaning of he’emin in Genesis 15:6, which in the ESV says,
And he believed [he’emin; LXX: ἐπίστευσεν] the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.

Inconsistency with in Mormonism
Tomorrow I will again meet with some missionaries from the LDS church. This makes my fourth pair since I have relocated here to KC-MO. I have since done some more research into Mormonism and specifically the Book of Mormon (here on out referred to as BoM). I noticed a massive inconsistency with what I heard from last week’s missionaries and what I read in BoM. I will briefly summarize what the missionaries stated about Heavenly Father, Jesus, and Holy Ghost and compare it to the BoM.

A Slap In The Face
Listen to John Piper’s T4G message and let the weight of his message slap you awake from the slumber the church has in this world. Oh man I feel terrible.
