Raise In Three Days - Page 2

QUOTE (Isiah53)
In other words the text in the original Greek implies that once Mary realized that it was Jesus, she grabbed and emotionally embraced him as to hold him from going.

That is an interesting take, and I would love to stand corrected to increase my knowledge and correctness in these things, however I would need source info and to see what the LDS related books say on the same Topic since I have never heard it taken like that (maybe another urban legend).

Days Three Raise

I am not sure why an LDS source is needed. It is simple Greek. I guess I say this because I read basic Greek. The translation means "do not hold onto me" as an embrace not as a touch. It implies an embrace. Also check this with other translations like the new revised standard version. This is a case of the KJV being in adequate. (The KJV is a very literal translation and often misses a lot of social cues and poetry of the scriptures.This is typical with the KJV) I guess you can also see Holzapfel's book A lively Hope pg. 177 if you want a good source. He is a BYU professor of scripture.

Simple, we are on the LDS Doctrine based Boards and not the Isiah53 Doctrine based Boards. In other words just because you say so with no reference or source does not mean it is so. If you doubt please read our policy for participation in the LDS Boards: Source 8 There are other things I can mention here related to the correct version of translation, etc, however that will detract from the purpose of this Thread.
