Featured The Bible teaches the mortal soul and the eternal sufferng of the lost.

I think you need to reconcile "laid down His life" with He did not lay down His life. (1 John 3:16)

 

If you want to define "laid down His life" as not meaning He died physically for us, I think you are mistaken.
Rom 5:8
But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1Th 5:10
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

 

[Isaiah 53:10-12 NASB] 10 But the LORD was pleased To crush Him, putting [Him] to grief; If He would render Himself [as] a guilt offering, He will see [His] offspring, He will prolong [His] days, And the good pleasure of the LORD will prosper in His hand. 11 As a result of the anguish of His soul, He will see [it and] be satisfied; By His knowledge the Righteous One, My Servant, will justify the many, As He will bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, And He will divide the booty with the strong; Because He poured out Himself to death, And was numbered with the transgressors; Yet He Himself bore the sin of many, And interceded for the transgressors.

[Isaiah 53:12 NKJV] 12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.

[Isaiah 53:12 NIV] 12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Strong’s:
nephesh, neh'-fesh; from H5314; properly, a breathing creature, i.e. animal of (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental):—any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, × dead(-ly), desire, × (dis-) contented, × fish, ghost, greedy, he, heart(-y), (hath, × jeopardy of) life (×in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortally, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thy-) self, them (your) -selves, slay, soul, tablet, they, thing, (× she) will, ×would have it.

Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon offers insight on The use of this word in Isaiah 53:12, noting that the “soul” or “life” being ‘poured out’ in “inasmuch as it departs with the effused blood”.

If the lexicon is correct, then Isa 53:12 is not a statement about Jesus soul departing, but a prophecy that his life will end in exsanguination (bleeding out).

 

Atpollard, thanks for the insight. Many differences within the assembly are driven by words with more than one meaning, or thought to have more than one meaning.

 

I would really like to see this imaginary dictionary from biblical times which gives different meanings of words You see only a dictionary from the time of Jesus would be proof they had different meanings. There simply is no such thing. These extra meanings have been added from newer dictionaries of the Greek spoken today.

Hi MB, many Greek words has a range of meanings. That is one of the reasons why you see the same Greek word translated into several different English words. Stop by a Christian book store, and pick up an Exhaustive Concordance. It will show you that many different English words are used to translate the same Greek word.

Recently we dealt with a Greek word that almost always means "do, did, does" but also means "make or made." And infrequently may mean appoint or designate or declare something to be something. And in at least one case (Luke 2:48) means "treated." So we had at least 4 different meanings based on context, for the same Greek word.

 

I don't think you understood what I was saying.

You said, "I would really like to see this imaginary dictionary from biblical times which gives different meanings of words."

I think my response covered the bases.

 

Good for you! Demand proof.
I will allow you to decide for yourself ...

... the SAME Hebrew word in every place labeled [H5315], so you decide if it has more than one meaning.

 

Strong is not a dictionary from the period Nor is it of biblical Greek but rather modern Greek
MB

 

What does that mean?

 

The old testament was writen in Hebrew and Aramaic.Not in biblical Greek
The LXX was not used in the KJV.

Do some research MB. You will find that the OT Koine quotes in the Greek New testament are from the Septuagint.

 

Irrelevant.

“Strong's Number H5315 matches the Hebrew נֶפֶשׁ (nephesh),
which occurs 753 times in 683 verses in the Hebrew concordance of the KJV”

H5315 is a reference to a HEBREW word, not a GREEK word. As I identified in the post, it is the Hebrew word “נֶפֶשׁ” ... a word which appears 735 times in the Hebrew Concordance of the KJV. I simply listed verses where the EXACT SAME HEBREW WORD (נֶפֶשׁ) was translated into different English words and phrases by the translators of the KJV Bible.

Strong and his reference work had nothing to do with it. He just provided a convenient shorthand for identifying the word in the original (Textus Receptus if I remember my KJV history correctly).
