Jun 21, 2020 at 9:55 comment added Ruminator @user25930 What passage uses what different word, specifically?
Jul 1, 2019 at 10:18 comment added user25930 You are correct in theory. But when you look at prophets' visions that saw heavenly realities, they do not use that word.
Jul 1, 2019 at 10:17 comment added Ruminator I don't see how the mention of "pattern" forbids Moses looking at a heavenly structure since the structure he makes is said to be a copy... of the heavenly things.
Jun 29, 2019 at 11:11 comment added Ruminator @curiousdannii Where in the scriptures is the distinction between the sky and "Heavensville" made? Maybe that would give some significance to your theological political correctness. I'm just trying to be exegetical: [Gen 1:8 ASV] (8) And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. [1Ki 8:30 ASV] (30) And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place; and when thou hearest, forgive.
Jun 29, 2019 at 7:07 comment added curiousdannii Indeed - it's the question which confuses things by asking about the "sky".
Jun 29, 2019 at 6:43 comment added user25930 Quite true but Heb 8:1 has every Bible versions saying "heavens".
Jun 29, 2019 at 5:33 comment added curiousdannii But not in English. Determining these nuances is the job of the translator after all.
Jun 29, 2019 at 4:54 comment added user25930 The words "sky" and "heaven" are the same in both Hebrew ("Shamayim") and Greek (ouranos)!
Jun 28, 2019 at 23:15 comment added curiousdannii And "heaven" is not equal to "sky".
